Blog
I no longer write a regular blog, but do occasionally post information and ideas in this section, and have also create a separate Arthur Russell blog, which will contain regular updates on the biography as well as general Arthur news.

Dear Dancer
We'll be putting on our winter party with David Mancuso at the Light in
just over a week's time. Ticketweb have now sold out of tickets. I'm
going to paste below the email we're about to send out that gives info
on where there might be a few tickets left. Best not to hang around too
long if you
Three books, two articles, two conference papers, several lectures and sleeve notes, one headache
I'm up to my neck with teaching at the moment, which has generally been
fun, but wasn't when I had to deal with a homophobic incident during a
discussion on music and discourse the other day. Serves me right or
trying to illustrate my point by describing hip hop as a discursive
space of...
Intensities: Theo Parrish, Nicky Siano, Helen Lane
Three big parties to report on: Theo Parrish at Plastic People (Shoreditch), Nicky Siano at the Key (Kings Cross) and Helen Lane at Appolonia (Stanmore). (I also went to the Dubstep launch of

There's a tribute/memorial party for Adam Goldstone tomorrow night in London. Hopefully there'll be a good turnout. I'll be going down on my bike later on, assuming I can find my way. Ashley

The parties at the Light are in the groove, and the groove is smooth. It's been that way since the spring and it feels like it will never end. Let's hope it doesn't.

It feels deeply uncomfortable to be thinking about putting
on a party so soon after Adam's passing, but our next date with David Mancuso at the Light is just
around the corner, so there's not much else to be done.

I'm still recovering from last weekend, when I helped put on three parties, and next weekend is almost here, so I don't think I'll make it to the Beauty and the Beat gig this Saturday ⎯ especially as Enrica and I are off to see the Fabulous Beast Dance Company earlier that evening. But if you
[Posted: 29 Jun 2006]David Mancuso at the Light! The World Cup!
Ever since I've been a kid, I've been into football and I've been into
music. The older I've got, the more difficult it's become to hold onto
both obsessions. There just isn't the time to keep up with it all and a
choice should be made in the interests of, well, everyone who comes
into contact
Liberation!
I've been asked to write an article about disco for this Sunday's edition of Liberazione, the leftist Italian newspaper (see below). I thought I'd post the English version of the article here, but if you're in Italy this coming weekend and would prefer to read Francesco WARBEAR Macarone
