Linder on Woman's Hour shortly. BBC Radio 4.

[CrookedLittleVein]

"Punk icon and performance artist Linder brings her 13 hour show, The Darktown Cakewalk: Celebrated From the House of Fame to London. A study of glamour, performance, judgement and commercialisation – it’s almost an animation of the collages she’s famous for. She talks to Jane about the influence of punk on her work."

Listen live: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/radio4

Should be available on iplayer later and, possibly, as downloadable podcast.

Thank you for the notice

No. Sorry. I find it hard to believe there's a programme called "Woman's Hour". Is this the glorious 39 or what? Is it something housewives in Devon listen to? " Well well well I've finished tidying up the house and ironing my husband's shirts. I think I'll indulge in a cuppa and listen to Woman's Hour before polishing the silverware."

Listening to Woman's Hour on Women's Day must be orgasmic if you're female.

Can you see the girlies in that video tuning in to BBC4? "I'm kinda busy, (I'm listening to Woman's hour)"

-Commercial- Punk not dead! Lady G is a sort of successful Linder... Makes the old one rather redundodant, bitch. (Ah well. That's what you get for lacking a sense of sisterhood these days ) (ouch)

Tough staying modern, eh? As I'm sure a lot of people have noticed.

 

[Barking]

Nah, I only listen to Bitch's Hour, sorry.
Well Linda obviously went on a big excursion to Nowhere, (which is quite arty, actually.)

(If we're going to re-discuss children's education, I might have to go watch Nanny Mc Phee and Mary Poopin again before.)

edit/ Cristiano, Ricky,... it's going to be the end of Woman's Hour. Gonna be replaced with Gay Dad's hour. Mark my words. It's probably the end of women full stop.

Barking, did you listen to the interview? Linder said that she was a punk for about six months and then moved on. Interestingly she did not say where she moved on to. - It was funny that just before she came on they spoke about teaching your children and that if you self-teach your children, you should go on excursions with them.

Punk icon? I'd never heard of her till I came on here

Most people would nevver have heard of her if it wasn't for Wotsisface.

Silke, calm down, Billy's only quoting other people.

billy scissors- découpage- collage. Mmm Billy, strange you never heard of Linder's artwork...(you're not missing much )

Right I think we've done enough for this thread.

 

[billy scissors]

Do you have a problem? Where did I write that she was a punk icon? What are you talking about? This is the second time that you completely twist something that I wrote.

She's got her knickers in a twist

 

[Barking]

And let's not forget, in icon, there's I con.

Given your incredulity, I take it you're speaking as an authority on punk icons?

...Instant punishment. The aptly named "Chichi" made the cover of Libération today.
... Shame nobody reads newspapers anymore.

...Shame nobody ever goes to Arles. Where the Rick Ashtray is it? Too far, too hot.

Silly Baba did it again.

Incidentally 'chichi' means father and breasts in Japanese (we distinguish them using different Chinese characters).

Father AND Breasts? ("tranny dad" is the closest occidental translation perhaps?)

French is much simpler. "Chichi" just means "chichi".

French is much simpler. "Chichi" just means "chichi".

Japanese is very dense complicated language which has too many words pronounced same, but different in writing.

Unfortunately I cannot type Japanese font from this PC to show you the difference (my laptop is almost dead).

 

[Barking]

Well you know it's just as well, it's too hot at the moment to learn foreign languages.

It's a wonder people find the energy to rickroll, even. Mind you they're probably not as hot as us ( sorry for stating the obvious)

 

[Barking]

It is in a seemingly cold factory building with art of the usual suspects.

What do you think of Daniel Cohn-Bendit?

Not much. Although I voted for him. Well the green bunch. Knowing that in Cohn Bendit there's "con". If that's what you were trying to make me say. for I fail to see the connection...

Thanks for the notice. Was a fab day in Glasgow, so if the London performance is half as good, it'll be great! Cheers

Women of a certain age do what they're told. My olde English ladies still classify films as either "a woman's film" and "a man's film." They go off to their little ladies' clubs and hear "talks" about things like aloe vera. Once every few months they all go on a coach trip to somewhere like Bath to have tea at Sally Lunn's; there's always intrigue of some kind, usually involving the number of toilet breaks between London and the provinces. They have regalia: hard soled shoes, long skirts, and the omnipresent pocketbook (for which they have as many words as Eskimos do for snow). Hats are a tricky issue, however. I can't get them to discuss it. If I do, I shall report back.

Agreed.
I had half thought of making a trip to London for this, but finances failed me. Tea and cakes to be provided by East London Womens Institute! Hopefully some correspondents from here can provide some feedback.
Have you seen Linder's YouTube channel ~ Darktowner? She has been uploading extended excerpts from the Glasgow performance

Oh please do!

...you don't have to be old to be tempted by a tea-trip to Bath...There's no denying a dog enjoys a cream tea now and then....Sally (or should I say Solange)'s bun looks tempting And I quite like little cucumber sandwiches...

However you can have an old lady's tastes for some things and still be quite modern about others.

(By the way I've seen "Splice" recently and I wonder if the ladies of a certain age you know would classify it as a man's or a woman's film? Tricky. Make them watch it on the bus next time they go on a tea escapade, the question should keep them busy enough to forget to ask for pee-stops. )
