The blog of simon crab of Lateral, sunseastar, N.I.R., Recloose Organisation, Informal and Bourbonese Qualk..amongst others. I started writing this blog to try and work out why people write blogs and, through sheer laziness, to answer in one go questions that people have asked me. there is no overall theme to the site but it tends to be about issues around music and sound.

    Fascinating blog site that I have just chanced upon. I put Bourbonese Qualk in to google because I was interested to know whether or not those early recordings were to be re-released / re-packaged as CD’s. Nigel Ayers seems to be doing it! And what about “Songs Of The New International” picture disc, any chance of those compilation releases being given the same treatment??
    Fascinating site as I mentioned, and finally I get to see what Het Zweet look like!!

  2. Hello, blog site is gerad und cool Artikels.

  3. Simon!

    SO cool to find your blog! I’m not even sure how I did but I think it had something to do with the wonders of Google. Glad to see you are still a good Thetcherite and the collaborations with Rick Astley are going swimmingly!

    Ahem. Seriously, I am looking forward to hearing your latest stuff. Your music has opened my pedestrian American ears in so many ways.

    Namaste!

    Hello, I recently wrote about BQ on my website, and want to thank you guys for the good sounds. I would be interested in hearing your new music if you could throw a link of some information my way. I would be honored if you’d view my site and read about yourself :)

    BTW, listening to the song Temporale right now. I really love this one. I would love to hear a whole album of stuff like this. Very nice.

    Hi, i´m looking for information about BOURBONESE QUALK. I´m looking for for a long time this song, around 1986 or previous, and a friend tell me perhaps it´s this group. Please, listen to this unknow song for me in this link:

    Is it BOURBONESE QUALK or not?.

    Do you know any forum, web, blog,…can help me to identify this song?.

    Thanks for reply and your blog, and regards from Spain.
