Hello dear fellow platformers,
I hope the summer is treating you all well. Today I came back from my trip to Morocco and altough my body is tired of travelling and wants to have a rest my mind is overloaded with all that I have seen, tasted, heared etc. (you get where im going to). I cant sleep so I decided to publish a few images of my journey.
Speak to you soon and we’ll share our stories.

The Art Of Pop Ep 1/3 Tuesday 25 July 11.00-11.30am BBC Radio 4 |
 |

Pop musician Jarvis Cocker explores the idea of popular culture being a subject for artistic expression in the first of this series of three programmes. He starts by looking back to the Forties, when artists such as Richard Hamilton and Eduardo Paolozzi were attending Central St Martins College, London (the same college Cocker himself graduated from, much later). Many art students in the immediate post-war period were also part-time musicians, in an era when traditional jazz was about to go head-to-head with early rock ‘n’ roll.
This programme traces the rise of early British pop art through the work of Peter Blake and David Hockney. Their work in the early Sixties reflected the increasing importance of pop culture and rock imagery. British art schools were also turning out scores of artists-turned-musicians, including The Beatles, The Animals, The Rolling Stones and The Who.
Presenter/Jarvis Cocker, Producer/Bob Dickinson
