RIP Hugh Hopper. A sampling of his work, and some audio samples from his record label. You might also enjoy this introduction to the Canterbury Scene (loads of awesome vinyl cover art), an exhaustive Canterbury resource, as well as some streaming Canterbury radio.

The Voyage of Terry Waite's Clogs I first saw this a couple of days ago and the more I think about the logistics and reasoning behind this the stranger it becomes. I like the fact this probably wouldn't happen in any other country than England, but all the same you do have to wonder why it happened. For those non-Brits Terry Waite was the Archbishop of Canterbury's envoy to Beirut in the 80s and was held hostage for 5 years by a militant islamic group.
