Jazz Up Your Formal Wear

In yesterday's post I presented a watch that I thought was well suited for formal occasions. Today I thought I'd continue along that same path longines master collection fake watch but bring to light a piece from a (likely) more well-known brand; namely Hamilton's Jazzmaster Slim . Hamilton of course started as an American company 120 years ago and today finds themselves located in Switzerland. This lends to a wonderful combination of American heritage and Swiss technology in the designs they bring forth and this Jazzmaster Slim is a great example of this melding.

Much like yesterday's Glycine we have a timeless and classic combination of black and polished steel. The 40mm wide case should look at home on just about any wrist �C and given the fact that it's only 8mm thick it'll fit under just about any shirt cuff. This sliver of a watch case is held on your wrist by a 22mm strap (also available with brown leather or stainless steel bracelet). Inside the watch beats away an ETA 2892 automatic movement replica chopard watches which also drives the date display located at the 6 o'clock position. The whole package is protected by sapphire crystals and has a rated water resistance of 30m �C nothing to go diving with but it would certainly stand up to the occasional splash. This is the sort of watch I'd not give a seconds hesitation recommending to someone who was looking for a "good" dress watch.

Graham Coxon - interview

</figure> Best known as the bespectacled sideman of Blur multi-instrumentalist Graham Coxon has long been broadcast as the scrappy yin to frontman Damon Albarns debonair yang. After leaving Blur in 2002 during the recording of the bands final album Think Tank Coxon turned to his solo career which had commenced in 1998. Fast-forward to today and you have The Spinning Top Coxons seventh studio album. With an exploded palette thats in stark contrast to his sometimes barebones affairs in the past it has brought him the best reviews hes ever had.

With good reason: An ambitious hour-long meditation on various intersections of folk blues psych and jazz its the work of a fully bloomed virtuoso. Singing in his usual creaky tones replica jacob & co watch Coxon plays guitar soprano sax and half a dozen other instruments himself. He also finds ideal backing in drummer Graham Fox pianist Louis Vause double-bassist Danny Thompson singer Lucy Parnell a cast of Indian string players and guest guitarist Robyn Hitchcock among others. The Spinning Top was produced by frequent Blur collaborator Stephen Street who brings an organising influence to the albums scattershot byways and acoustic core. Oh and its also a concept album.

This latest triumph caps a banner year for Coxon following his involvement with Pete Dohertys return-to-form solo debut and of course a string of dates with a reunited Blur. Whether or not his future lies in more work with Blur Coxon has certainly proven he can stand on his own.

--

With The Spinning Top youve released as many albums alone as with Blur. It is strange to reach that milestone?

Now that you mention it I suppose it is. Its a bit too many maybe. I dont really think about it.

Its also a concept album spanning one mans life. Is this the first time youve done something like that?

Yeah. It was just a way for me to organise the songs on the album and create some sort of a thread running through it. I didnt really want to overdo the concept because I know people think its a bit weird or boring or old-fashioned or annoying or embarrassing or hippie-ish. I didnt want to over-egg the old custard too much. It was just really for me and its there if people want to listen to it in that way. But I dont want to be a fascist about how you listen to a record or some sort of tour guide. You should listen to it however you like. Theres a loose narrative but I think its pretty vague. All the songs work pretty much on their own. But its a decent way of taking it out of that dangerous autobiographical thing. I mean I do write things about my own experiences but theres a lot of stuff on the record that I havent experienced. So its a mixed bag really.

It seems like you work through a different set of influences with each album. This time it was Davey Graham and John Martyn who are cited in the credits. Is that fair to say?

It probably is actually. I mean theres so much really great music thats been made. I suppose none of us think that we listen to bad music. Its just a good way to exploring my idea of what I like about music. I know its not amazingly groundbreaking or anything I dont know what is groundbreaking now particularly but I just like the idea of jazz and blues and folk music colliding and what was going on in the 60s. I like how it sounded and how raw and dynamic it was. So really for this record I wanted to get my hands around that a little bit. And it wasnt anything that came easily. It was a few years of working quite hard at picking styles and things. Eventually these songs came out. But yeah I dont mind showing my influences whether its punk stuff New Wave the Cars the Ruts to me its all really really really good. Ive got an appetite for lots of different music. It somehow just rubs off on me.

The album has spare repetitive portions but also heavier psychedelic moments like on Dead Bees and Caspian Sea. Were you trying to capture that whole range?

Yeah probably. I think in the end the music that I always come back to and really appreciate the most is psychedelic music like the Misunderstood and July and Pink Floyd. It makes me happy. I like the idea of playing with peoples hearing what they hear and making it quite entertaining. Theres a lot of this and that to listen out for. I like music where you notice more about it the more you listen to it. And all these little sounds have their personal triggers for you. I just like that kind of stuff.

There are quite a few guests on The Spinning Top each bringing in something distinct.

Definitely. Sometimes my own limitations are alright but with this I wanted to jam a little bit. I really wanted to get a jazz drummer in because I wanted things to have that pre-John Bonham swing like Mitch Mitchell. And I thought that Danny Thompson is just the man when it comes to upright bass on this kind of thing. So that stuff just grew really nicely. It was a great atmosphere. The middle section of Brave The Storm and In The Morning were pretty neat to record. Using the Indian string sections and the classical singer [on In The Morning] I have a bit of an obsession with Ennio Morricones Western [film scores] Fistful Of Dollars and all that. So I wanted to get that feeling a very beautiful voice to play the part of some sort of strange spirit lady from the sea. It was a bit crazy. But I like it. Its a rich sounding record. Theres a lot of old equipment so that helped make it sound classic in a way.

You worked with producer Stephen Street who helmed two of your other albums and three Blur albums.

Also Mike Pelanconi the engineer was very important in getting these sounds. Stephen is good to have in the studio because hes really consistent. Hes always the same no matter where I am. I can be all over the place at times not knowing what I want to do and what style I need and hes quite good at [advising me]. Hes like the grownup in the studio. Its me that can be erratic franck muller perpetual calendar replica watches rolex oyster perpetual ladies replica watches but never Stephen. He always brings me into normality. But not too much.

You did the single This Old Town with Paul Weller in 2007 and more recently had a hand in Pete Dohertys solo album Grace/Wastelands. Those guys are icons of British music past and present. What did you get out of each experience?

Well I loved working with Paul. Hes an amazing musician. I know hes been around for quite a while and hes not always fully appreciated. He never puts a foot wrong in the studio and hes a really good bloke. And I think with the Pete thing Stephen [Street] wanted me in there to do the sort of job I would do in Blur really trying to interpret what was going on in the songs and come up with themes. Just be around I guess for Pete to make fun of or have a bit of a giggle with. And it was good fun.

Blur did some reunion dates this year. Is there any chance of more dates or even some recording?

Not at the moment. Everyone seems to be really busy again getting back to their usual stuff. I dont know. Well see what happens next year. I think itd be interesting to do more stuff. If everyone thinks that way I dont see why something else might not happen. But theres nothing in the cards right now.

The Spinning Top is out Friday on Transgressive/Stomp.

Armani gets real

Campaigns for Emporio Armani underwear are usually all chiselled jaws rippling abs and bulging erm packages.

The famous David Beckham campaign is a classic example. It features the footballer in an open shirt and tight white breifs lounging around on a bed with his legs spreadeagled and a come-hither looked on his perfectly groomed face.

Now however Heat magazine has done a version which is more akin to the men most of us know.

Cuddly James Corden from the hit show Gavin and Stacey has posed in the same style as Beckham replica oris hangbags replica rolex submariner watches paypal tighty whities and all but with his belly rolling over the top of his Armani pants and what looks suspiciously like a sock providing padding in the nether regions.

He may not have the Adonis look that Becks does but his cheeky take on the ad is sure to make his army of female fans love him even more.
