Book: Carnets du Japon
Romain Slocombe
Japanese Wanderings
PUF editions, Paris, France, 2003
Published for the first time, these notebooks by Romain Slocombe assemble
impressions and fragments of his travels — sketches, notes, portraits,
diaries, memories —, from the Izu Islands to Shibuya’s pavements, paced
by schoolgirls in sailor uniform, and from Kabuki-chô’s drunken
nights, haunted by photographer Nobuyoshi Araki, to the wooded hills of
Chiba, whose silent temples shelter luck-bringing huge white snakes…

Formed by Richard McGuire in the late 1970s, "Liquid Liquid"
stand at the nexus of art-rock and dance music, a unique NYC brand of
neurotic funk. After years of going their own ways, the group (Richard
McGuire, Dennis Young, Salvatore Principato and Scott Hartley) get back
together. Their reunion debut in March at the Knitting Factory in New
York and in Detroit. Success is amazing, and American press is full of
praise. The group is best known for the surprise hit "Cavern".
Last year, Spike Lee’s 25 Hour used it at its theme song and trailer sound
track music. In Glasgow, a fans’ club adopted the name of another hit:
"Optimo". An awaited tour in Europe !
