Underworld have released new track ‘Brilliant Yes That Would Be’

On March 17, 2018, Underworld played Reykjavik for the first time since 1994. This film is inspired by Underworld’s track Brilliant Yes That Would Be and the Icelandic landscape. This isn’t going back to Born Slippy .NUXX, and a far more trippy, Pink Floydish sound.

Damn, I love this band.

80% Of Deaf And Disabled Music Fans Experience Issues Buying Concert Tickets

The UK’s Attitude is Everything improves Deaf and disabled people’s access to live music by working in partnership with audiences, artists and the music industry.

Having begun as a pilot project in 2000, we are now a fully independent charity and part of Arts Council England’s National Portfolio of Organisations. They encourage events producers to go beyond the legal obligations set out in the Equality Act and implement best practice, providing a fair and equal service to their Deaf and disabled customers.

Their 2018 State of Access Report examines the barriers faced by Deaf and disabled people when trying to book tickets for live music events, and sets out our vision for ticketing without barriers.

To bring this vision to life, they have convened a far reaching coalition of umbrella organisations, ticketing companies, venues and event companies, who have pledged to work together to remove barriers to ticketing: the Ticketing Without Barriers Coalition.

The coalition will enable members to exchange ideas, issues and solutions, and work towards a single, unified vision for what best practice means when it comes to facilitating access booking for Deaf and disabled people.

There Are Now Fonts In Kurt Cobain, John Lennon, And David Bowie’s Handwriting

The Songwriters fonts have been created to give musicians inspiration. Writing lyrics with the handwriting of influential songwriters helps imagination to develop. Being in the mood of Bowie, Cobain, Cohen, Gainsbourg, Lennon, might be purely imaginative… but that’s precisely the point.

Kurt Cobain formed the band Nirvana in 1987 and introduced to the world: the grunge music genre. He drew his inspiration from punk rock, blues and heavy metal, to create his own musical universe. Part tortured, part poetic, his unique writing did affect a generation forever.

The Kurt Font has been created from Kurt Cobain’s original handwritten letters and notes. This font is for a personal use only.

Born in Brixton, South London, David Bowie developed an interest in music as a child, eventually studying art, music and design before embarking on a professional career as a musician in 1963. “Space Oddity” became his first success in 1969. He never stopped experimenting new approaches in his music approach, writing unconventional songs which became classics.

The David Font has been created from David Bowie’s original handwritten letters and notes. This font is for a personal use only.

“We were just writing songs … pop songs with no more thought of them than that—to create a sound. And the words were almost irrelevant”. Despite this humility, John Lennon wrote with his partner Paul McCartney the most influential songs in the history of popular music.

The John Font has been created from John Lennon’s original handwritten letters and notes. This font is for a personal use only.

Leonard Cohen was a poet and novelist before he started writing music. Cohen’s writing process, as he told an interviewer in 1998, was “like a bear stumbling into a beehive or a honey cache: I’m stumbling right into it and getting stuck, and it’s delicious and it’s horrible and I’m in it and it’s not very graceful and it’s very awkward and it’s very painful and yet there’s something inevitable about it.”

The Leonard Font has been created from Leonard Cohen’s original handwritten letters and notes. This font is for a personal use only.

Serge Gainsbourg was a singer, poet, composer, painter, screenwriter, actor; but above all, one of the most iconic french songwriter. His lyrical works incorporated a vast amount of clever word play to hoodwink the listener, often for humorous, provocative, satirical or subversive reasons.

The Serge Font has been created from Serge Gainsbourg’s original handwritten letters and notes. This font is for a personal use only.
