Finally nice weather on my day off (though expected to rain at 5pm). Plan is to visit Brooklyn Botanical Gardens. Never been there. Have been to the NY one in the Bronx and also to the Queens one. Looking forward to it. Hopefully baby will enjoy it.

The Fisherman and his Soul: a new song by our friend Sebastian Voss from Münster. The song is called “Yellowed Golden Wedding Photo” and what inspired this one is the golden wedding anniversary of his parents. A very nice and heartfelt digital single.

Beverly Kills: the fine Gothenburg band is back with a superb track titleed “Amour Fou”. This song is the second single after “The Getaway” from their debut album that will be released this fall. This is an album I am looking forward of course. So I’ll keep an eye and keep you informed.

Les Calamites: just ordered my copy of “Encore! 1983-1987”, an 18 song compilation of one of the best bands to come from France! The compilation is available now on CD and vinyl and includes 18 songs plus a booklet. This seems like an essential release no one should miss. Top stuff.

Lost Film: now another digital single, this time from Easthampton in Massachusetts. “Big Talk” is a nice lo-fi pop song written and recorded at home by Jimmy Hewitt a few years ago but just released to the world.

The Apleseeds!: named after a Po! song this Copenhagen band is brand new. Formed by Ditte Duus and Kasper Clemmensen they just unveiled two songs, “Someone To Talk To” and “Before She Spins”. Both were recorded on a phone in their practice space.

The Lost World is a science fiction novel by British writer Arthur Conan Doyle, published by Hodder & Stoughton in 1912, concerning an expedition to a plateau in the Amazon basin of South America where prehistoric animals still survive. It was originally published serially in the Strand Magazine and illustrated by New-Zealand-born artist Harry Rountree during the months of April–November 1912. The character of Professor Challenger was introduced in this book. The novel also describes a war between indigenous people and a vicious tribe of ape-like creatures.

I still haven’t read this novel. I have read a few of the Sherlock books, but not this one. In any case, today, thanks to stoneeyedkiller’s Youtube channel,  I discovered a Bournemouth band called The Lost World after this book.

There are 7 songs by this band on Soundcloud. Also there’s a small bio.

It tells us that the band was a four-piece that was active in the early 90s.

Then we check the songs.

There is a song also called “The Lost World”. This one was included in a 1992 demo tape called “Never Again”.

The same case for the songs “Come On”, “America”, “You and I”, “Over”, “Hey Girl” and “Tarnished”.

Was this the only demo tape they put together? Are these all the songs on that demo tape?

Also sadly there are no band members names to be found here. You can only wonder who were behind this band. If they had been in any other bands before or after The Lost World.

I don’t think I have written about many (or any?) Bournemouth bands, so it would be good to find out. Don’t know much about their scene…
