Lloyd Cole performs tracks from his
new 4CD box set - 'Cleaning Out the
Ashtrays',
a collection of b-sides and rarities
from 1989-2006, expect also some of
his better known songs from his years
fronting The Commotions. The snows
are too deep, the frosts way too sharp,
to do any spring cleaning in New England.
Best to wait even for the baking summers
to pack their bags and for the leaves
to glow red and gold before attempting
to put any real order into your life
up here. For singer/songwriter Cole,
now then is the time for ‘Cleaning
Out the Ashtrays’ – for
sorting through dusty boxes of cassettes,
DAT tapes and CDs in his Easthampton
hideaway, to take stock and try to
make sense of all that forgotten music.
All those lost songs; half remembered
sessions, much-missed friends and
fellow-musicians and gifted co-producers.
A goldmine of music from 21 years
as a solo artist. Here, then, are
59 – count ‘em –
nuggets from the Cole vaults. Four
CDs bursting with alternate versions,
rare b-sides, cover sessions (Lou
Reed, Marc Bolan and Leonard Cohen
songs among them), and a few tracks
that the record companies –
and on occasion, even Lloyd himself
- just didn’t get at the time.
The launch of the new Lloydcole.com,
along with a healthy appetite for
touring his folk singer set around
the world, has helped establish a
vibrant online community of Cole fans.
Countless queries about lost b-sides
and rumoured remixes sowed the seeds
of the ‘Cleaning Out the Ashtrays’
project which Cole has researched
and compiled himself. Now, all of
us can share in the riches that lay
hidden inside that dusty old box.

Fifty-four shows, fourteen weeks,
one comic and a government to influence.
Comedian and activist Mark creates
a manifesto - a policy paddle to help
steer our way out of Shit Creek. Every
audience gets to vote on the policies
they like, Mark road tests them and
then sets off to make them happen.
It is somewhere between Jim'll Fix
It for anarchists and White Collar
Crimewatch, with a passing nod at
Bill Drummond, the Fluxus art movement
and Anneka Rice. Mark has become one
of Britain’s most acclaimed
comics as well as one of Britain’s
most recognised and influential activists.
After 23 years of performing, six
series of the Mark Thomas Product
and Mark Thomas Comedy Product with
Channel 4, numerous documentaries,
two books published by Ebury Press,
radio programmes, changing the law
on tax, secretly filming torturers,
stinging arms dealers with school
children, exposing abuses of civil
liberties and corporate skulduggery,
writing for the New Statesman and
the Guardian, Mark has finally conceded
that he might have a career yet.
