Welcome to the 10th edition of my very own ‘magazine.’ In it I put all the stuff that I loved back then. Which pretty much was:
Music. Cricket. Books. Manchester United. Films. Sport. Drinking beer. Girls.
October ’91 found me returning to Northern Ireland, with summer and the cricket season a thing of the past. The weather had cooled, the days grew shorter and winter was around the corner. Morrison & McEvoy, as promised, took me on again and it was a roofing I would go.
All this and more in the latest edition of < Rewound

In the
3rd – Nadine Gordimer, South African writer and political activist is awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. Gordimer’s work was once suppressed due to it’s criticism of Apartheid.
Gordimer (20 November 1923 – 13 July 2014) received the above prize as a writer “who through her magnificent epic writing has … been of very great benefit to humanity.”
Gordimer’s writing dealt with moral and racial issues, particularly apartheid in South Africa. Under that regime, works such as Burger’s Daughter were banned. She was active in the anti-apartheid movement, joining the African National Congress during the days when the organization was banned, and gave Nelson Mandela advice on his famous 1964 defence speech at the trial which led to his conviction for life. She was also active in HIV/AIDS causes.
6th – On the 50th anniversary of the Babi Yar massacres, where over 33,500 Jews were killed, President Gorbachev releases a statement condemning Antisemitism in the Soviet Union.
8th – Soundgarden release their breakout album Badmotorfinger. The grunge pioneers take the heavy sludge of ’70s metal and infuse it with the raw aesthetic of ’80s punk – and in the process become one of the most important bands of the ’90s.
This is heavy, challenging hard rock full of intellectual sensibility and complex band interplay.
Badmotorfinger is less accessible than the stuff released by contemporaries Pearl Jam and Nirvana. Not that it isn’t melodic, but it also sounds twisted and gnarled, full of dissonant riffing, impossible time signatures, howling textural solos, and weird, droning tonalities. It’s surprisingly cerebral and arty music for a band courting mainstream metal audiences, but it attacks with scientific precision.
9th – In the Royal Albert Hall in London, a sumo tournament begins. This is the first Sumo match to take place outside of Japan.
10th – In New Jersey, USA, Joseph Harris kills four people. Three of whom are his former colleagues in the US postal service.
15th – Bryan Adam’s single “(Everything I Do) I Do it for You,” enters it’s fifteenth successive week at number one in the UK singles charts, setting a world record.
Written by Adams, Michael Kamen, and Robert John “Mutt” Lange, the power ballad was the lead single for both the soundtrack album from the 1991 film Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves and Adams’s sixth studio album, Waking Up the Neighbours (1991). The single was released on the 17th of June, 1991, by A&M and the accompanying music video was directed by Julien Temple.
16th – In the deadliest mass shooting in US history (until 2007!!), George Hennard shoots 23 people in a cafeteria in Killeen, Texas. Hennard then begins a shootout with police before shooting himself.
20th – A wildfire devastates Oakland Hills in California, destroying 3,469 homes and killing 25 people.
21st – Jesse Turner, a math professor who was kidnapped in 1987 is finally freed by his Lebanese kidnappers.
28th – Caused by an unnamed hurricane and high and low pressure fronts, the Perfect Storm strikes the United States causing over 💲200 million of damage and killing 12 people. Also known as The No-Name Storm (especially in the years immediately after it took place) and the Halloween Gale/Storm, was a damaging and deadly nor’easter. Initially an extratropical cyclone, the storm absorbed Hurricane Grace to its south and evolved into a small unnamed hurricane later in its life.
29th – NASA’s Galileo spacecraft becomes the first probe to visit an asteroid when it approaches asteroid 951 Gaspra.

First up, my favourite ever fiction writer
Leland Gaunt opens a new shop in Castle Rock called Needful Things. Anyone who enters his store finds the object of his or her lifelong dreams and desires: a prized baseball card, a healing amulet. In addition to a token payment, Gaunt requests that each person perform a little “deed,” usually a seemingly innocent prank played on someone else from town. These practical jokes cascade out of control and soon the entire town is doing battle with itself. Only Sheriff Alan Pangborn suspects that Gaunt is behind the population’s increasingly violent behavior.
It is the first novel King wrote after his rehabilitation from drug and alcohol addiction.
In 1993, a film adaptation of King’s book directed by Fraser C. Heston and starring Max von Sydow, Ed Harris, Bonnie Bedelia and J. T. Walsh was released on the big screen. It received generally negative reviews from critics, with an overall rating of 32% on Rotten Tomatoes.
We Were Soldiers Once…and Young: la Drang – The Battle That Changed the War in Vietnam is a book by Lt. Gen. Harold G. Moore (Ret.) and war journalist Joseph L. Galloway about the Vietnam War.
In November 1965, some 450 men of the 1st Battalion, 7th Cavalry, under the command of Lt. Col. Hal Moore, were dropped by helicopter into a small clearing in the Ia Drang Valley. They were immediately surrounded by 2,000 North Vietnamese soldiers. Three days later, only two and a half miles away, a sister battalion was chopped to pieces. Together, these actions at the landing zones X-Ray and Albany constituted one of the most savage and significant battles of the Vietnam War.
The cover features Lt. Rick Rescorla, a British-American Vietnam War veteran who served for both countries during the war. Rescorla was uncomfortable about being portrayed as a war hero and chose not to read it when he saw that its cover featured a combat photograph of him.
When he learned that the book was being made into a film starring Mel Gibson, he told his wife Susan that he had no intention of seeing it, as he felt uncomfortable with anything that portrayed him or other survivors as war heroes, commenting, “The real heroes are dead.”
Rescorla later served as the director of security for Morgan Stanley and is credited with saving nearly 2,700 lives during the September 11 attacks, dying in the process.
George R.R. Marten “A Dance With Dragons“
My time on the moshav came to an end on October 10, 1991. The couple of months I had spent there had been eventful, and the work back-breaking. I’d had enough of roughing it, being hot, grubby, and eating shitty food out of tins. My skin was now golden brown from the relentless sun. You can’t burn as we were so far below sea-level, so it’s a sun-tanners paradise. But even that novelty wears off after a while, so it was time to return to the indoor comforts offered by a wet and cold Ireland.
I packed up my meagre belongings, said a few fond farewells, and caught a bus bound for the holy city of Jerusalem. Kiwi 1 and 2 remained at the moshav. I missed them almost immediately, and sadly, never heard from them again.
Jerusalem is a city in the Southern Levant, situated on a plateau in the Judean Mountains, between the Mediterranean Sea and the Dead Sea. It is one of the oldest cities in the world, and is considered holy to the three major Abrahamic religions, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
I found a youth hostel to stay in the centre of the old town called the Ritz. It was heaving with fellow travellers – Australians, English, Kiwis, Swedes, Irish, Americans, Germans, and South Africans.
Before I go any further … Israeli women are generally super hot, even those in army uniform … and there were plenty of those about.
Sleep was hard to come by as the hostel and its surroundings reverberated with noise almost 24/7. I could only afford to eat from the many street vendors for the seven days I was there. Falafel was my principal food of choice. I consumed this popular Middle Eastern “fast food” made from ground chickpeas or fava beans mixed with herbs and spices, then formed into balls or patties and deep-fried, morning, noon, and night. Needless to say it would be decades before I had any again.
I did the regular tourist stuff in Jerusalem, which included visiting holy sites like the Western Wall, Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and then the Dome of the Rock within the Old City. I also explored the Mount of Olives (it had the most amazing panoramic views), and paid a visit to the Yad Vashem Holocaust Remembrance Centre. The Old City was an eye-opener of note, especially negotiating the markets and the most insistent vendors I’ve ever come across.
I had an incredible two months in Israel. Up until that point in my life, I had never seen such a vast array and mix of people and cultures living side by side and in one place. Coming from conservative, repressed South Africa, it was mind-blowing at times.
In the very early hours of the 17th of October, I caught yet another knackered old bus back to Tel Aviv. I barely made my charter flight to Gatwick, but before I knew it, I was back in cold, drizzly England.
Nothing much had changed, and even Bryan bloody Adams was still at number one on the UK Singles chart!
After a few days mooching around the English capital, I hopped aboard a Northern Express bus heading to Stranraer (now called Cairnryan) and then the ferry to Larne in Northern Ireland.
The Stranraer to Larne ferry route
Somewhere amongst all the above travelling, I discovered that Lorraine had found herself a new man and that I would not be heading back into her welcoming, warm, and ample bosom.
Oh well, never mind.
Before you could blink, I was back in my old bedroom on Willy Donaldson’s farm and working again with Raymond and Robert on a roof somewhere in and around Belfast. The dazzling sun and intense heat of the Middle East were soon a distant memory as I shivered my way through the next few months.

Making her film debut
Maureen Trant (Emily Warfield) and her younger sibling Dani (Reese Witherspoon) share a strong connection, but local boy Court Foster (Jason London) threatens to throw their bond off balance. Dani and Court meet first and have a flirtatious rapport – but when he meets Maureen, he falls hard and they begin a passionate affair. The new couple try to keep their love hidden from Dani, but she soon learns the truth, disavowing her sister. But a heartbreaking accident later reunites the girls.
“It’s sentimental, and some viewers may feel manipulated by the melodramatic final act, but The Man in the Moon offers a finely drawn coming-of-age story with an excellent cast – including Reese Witherspoon in her film debut.”
“Gets an outstandingly natural performance out of Miss Witherspoon, who has no trouble carrying a lot of the film single-handedly. It falls to her to remind the audience that this story is at heart about a family, and she does.”
“The Man in the Moon is a wonderful movie, but it is more than that, it is a victory of tone and mood. It is like a poem.”
🎬
Making her directorial debut
Fred Tate (Adam Hann-Byrd) is a 7-year-old with a genius IQ. Single mother Dede (Jodie Foster) worries Fred might have an easier time fitting in around other child prodigies. Despite reservations, she allows Fred to go to a smart summer camp run by child psychologist Jane Grierson (Dianne Wiest), a former child prodigy. Fred’s studies advance, but, as he prepares for a national TV competition, he is torn between following through with his advanced education or building a normal life.
“Despite quirky, fresh moments and a watchful, touching performance from Hann-Byrd, the movie lurches unsteadily from scene to scene, punctuated by odd bursts of irrelevant melodrama and culminating in an ending that is frankly baffling.”
“Jodie Foster makes an impressive debut as a director with Little Man Tate – a poignant story of a gifted child whose talents consign him to a lonely life.”
“A triumphant debut as a film director for Jodie Foster in a captivating tale about a pint-sized genius.”
📽🎥
It’s a predictable romantic comedy of two lonely, bruised people getting together to make it first through the night and then through life.
When Johnny (Al Pacino) is released from prison following a forgery charge, he quickly lands a job as a short-order cook at a New York diner. Following a brief fling with waitress Cora (Kate Nelligan), Frankie develops an attraction for Cora’s friend and fellow waitress Frankie (Michelle Pfeiffer). While Frankie resists Johnny’s charms initially, she eventually relents when her best friend, Tim (Nathan Lane), persuades her to give Johnny a chance
“An absolutely delightful and tender romantic comedy. Succeeds so well because of the great, very real performances by the two leads and writer Terrence McNally’s smart, often hilarious dialogue.”
“The starry casting highlights the corn in the film’s attempted realism, but it also makes the whole thing irresistible.”

Yes, I am
These are the albums released in October 1991 that have found there way into my record collection.
Erasure are an English synth-pop duo formed in London in 1985, consisting of lead vocalist and songwriter Andy Bell and songwriter, producer and keyboardist Vince Clarke, the latter previously a co-founder of the band Depeche Mode and synth-pop duo Yazoo
I’ve enjoyed Erasure since their 1986 debut, Wonderland (think “Oh L ‘Amour“/ “Who Needs Love Like That“) – I’m also a big fan of Vince Clarke’s work, so I’ve tended to buy their albums ever since.
In 1988, I saw them live at the London Astoria. It was an energetic and joyful evening with Andy Bell’s charismatic vocals and stage presence shining alongside Vince Clarke’s musical mastery. The band created a euphoric atmosphere with a mix of high-energy tracks and more soulful songs, to accompany their elaborate and colourful stage show.
Chorus is their fifth album and features a few hit singles, including “Love to Hate You,” where Andy Bell steers away from campiness in favour of a series of gentler meditations and impassioned pleas.
The title track itself is another great Erasure anthem, Clarke providing just the right combination of electronic fizz for Bell’s surprisingly effective tackling of environmental degradation.
The synthesiser on “Breath of Life” is pure Vince Clarke genius as is the melody. Andy’s vocals sparkle here … “take me I’m yours, now I’m coming up for air …” Gorgeous! “Am I Right?” and “Love to Hate You” are both also lovely slices of Erasure pop confectionery.
He’s one of America’s most successful mainstream rock singers of the 1980s and ’90s, with his heartland blend of Stonesy hard rock and folk.
I had this on cassette back in the day and also recently picked up on pre-loved vinyl.
It’s not Mellencamp’s best work – especially coming after the tasty Big Daddy (1989). Here he returns to straight-ahead rock ‘n’ roll for the first time since Uh-Huh (1983).
Even its best moments (“Love and Happiness,” “Get a Leg Up,” “Whenever We Wanted,” “Again Tonight“) shine because of their craftsmanship, failing to achieve the kinetic energy of his earlier work. Whenever We Wanted remains a solid record, but it’s one that feels like a holding pattern.
Enigmatic, moody, and challenging, Wolfgang Press were one of the most mercurial talents of the post-punk era, restlessly moving from gothic noise to dark balladry to eccentric funk.
Recorded with the aid of ex-Throwing Muses bassist Leslie Langston, Queer is the Wolfgang Press’ leap into the world of dance music. The cover of Randy Newman’s “Mama Told Me (Not to Come)” underscores the record’s stranger-in-a-strange-land vibe as Michael Allen’s dramatic vocals and arcane obsessions collide head-on with the ecstatic physicality and immediacy of the dancefloor; cold and remote, the result is alien funk, a collection of idiosyncratic rhythms, dark textures, and ominous grooves.

First up an undervalued but critically acclaimed American group with brilliant, often downbeat melodies, and clever lyrics.
This is quite possibly American Music Club’s masterpiece and I was seriously chuffed when I found it in a bargain bin a good few years back now.
The production is way better than previous work by AMC and the album crystallizes the band’s often erratic vision into a unified, endlessly complex whole.
“Crabwalk” is shambling rockabilly, “Royal Café” is sweet country-pop, and “Rise” is anthemic alt-rock – but somehow there is a consistency of tone and a sense of place that runs through these songs that is absent from the band’s other records.
The atmosphere created by evocations of relationships at the breaking point – while the brute force of alcoholic laments like “Sick of Food” or the funereal “Why Won’t You Stay” – is staggering.
A must listen, if this is your kind of thing.
Nebraskan Matthew Sweet here releases one of the “power-pop” albums of the year (and in fact the decade). Girlfriend’s 15 spiky, poignant songs about Sweet’s marriage break-up and subsequent new romance build up deliciously into a little masterpiece. It’s a sugary, melodic album, but adds the extra punch of electric guitar power, hence the genre name.
Grounded in the guitar pop of the Beatles, Big Star, Byrds, R.E.M., and Neil Young, Girlfriend melds all of Sweet’s influences into one majestic, wrenching sound that encompasses both the gentle country-rock of “Winona” and the winding guitars of the title track and “Divine Intervention.” Sweet’s music might have recognizable roots, but Girlfriend never sounds derivative; thanks to his exceptional songwriting, the album is a fresh, original interpretation of a classic sound.

On the 1st of October
Beverley Craven + support (Martyn Joseph + John O’Kane)
On the 2nd, it’s our very own
MANGO GROOVE + support (Scarlet)
Mango Groove is an 11-piece South African Afropop band whose music fuses pop and township music – especially marabi and kwela.
The group was formed in Johannesburg in 1984. Three of the four founding members – John Leyden, Andy Craggs, and Bertrand Mouton – were bandmates in a “white middle-class punk band” called Pett Frog, while they were students at the University of the Witwatersrand.
That same year the three young men met kwela musician “Big Voice” Jack Lerole at the Gallo Records building in Johannesburg. In the late 1950s, Lerole had led a kwela band called Elias and His Zig-Zag Jive Flutes. John Leyden was enamoured with South African jazz of this era. Lerole’s reputation preceded him. He and the boys from Pett Frog rehearsed together, and a new band started to take shape. The band’s name was invented over dinner: a pun on the phrase “Man, go groove!”
In Mango Groove’s early days, musicians came and went as the group evolved into a cohesive whole. Leyden was the only founding member who has stayed on since the very beginning, but the full roster eventually swelled to 11 members. Alan Lazar, a composer and arranger who became the band’s keyboardist, explains that a big band with diverse musical elements allows for a variety of arrangements. For most of the band’s history, it has comprised four vocalists, lead and bass guitar, a brass section, drums, keyboards, and the penny whistle. (The penny whistle is the central instrument in kwela music—a Southern African style that has strongly influenced Mango Groove’s sound.)
Claire Johnston joined when she was 17. She was receiving voice instruction from Eve Boswell at the time. Bertrand Moulton called Boswell in 1984 and asked her to refer her best female singer, and she recommended Claire Johnston. Leyden met Johnston for the first time in Rosebank, a suburb of Johannesburg. She played him some tapes of her singing, and went to see the band perform. “I was intrigued because I’d never heard anything like Mango Groove.”
After a month with no word from the band, Johnston received a phone call from Leyden who asked if she could rehearse for a show booked two nights later. The rest as they say … is history.

Steven Patrick Morrissey, known as Morrissey, is an English singer and songwriter. He came to prominence as the frontman and lyricist of the rock band the Smiths, who were active from 1982 to 1987. Since then he has pursued a successful solo career.
Supporting the ex-Smiths singer is Phranc, an American singer-songwriter whose career began playing in several bands in the late 1970s Los Angeles punk rock scene. Her musical style later shifted during the 1980s as a solo artist, into a self-proclaimed “All-American Jewish lesbian folksinger.”
For three nights (7th-9th) it’s
no support, just these old boys pictured above
the 10th sees our ANZ friends performing stuff off Woodface and hits from their previous two LPs
it’s
Ryuichi Sakamoto (featuring David Sylvian) will be at the Odeon on the 13th
Japanese composer and pianist Ryuichi Sakamoto first worked with English singer-songwriter David Sylvian in 1980, when he played keyboards on “Taking Islands in Africa” track for Gentlemen Take Polaroids album in 1980.
Sylvian and Sakamoto worked together again in 1983, this time on a “Forbidden Colours, the theme song for the Nagisa Oshima’s film ‘Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence.’ It was released as a single and also appeared on the movie’s soundtrack album.
This year Sakamoto and Sylvian together with Arto Lindsay recorded a song called “Heartbeat,” released as a single from Sakamoto’s ninth solo studio album Heartbeat. Sylvian also contributed vocals for Cloud #9 track on US and UK versions of this album.
The 18th sees The Black Crowes, with support from Thee Hypnotics appearing.
Witnessing Thee Hypnotics at the tail end of the ’80s was a revelation. Echoing the spirit of the Detroit Rock Revolution of The MC5 and The Stooges they were completely mesmerising to both see and hear: oozing androgynous sexuality (not unlike Mick Jagger in Performance or the pre-booze Jim Morrison) theirs was a sound and style that was both singular and appealing, completely bereft of the dull attitude of 1989. This wasn’t another bedsitter indie band or aging punk act. It was a youthful alternative.
On the 19th…
Atlanta rockers, The Black Crowes, echo classic rock without imitating their influences – they don’t replicate the insistent swagger of the Rolling Stones, the drunken boogie of the Faces, or the funky chug of the Grateful Dead so much as give the resulting brew their own flavors. The interplay between the brothers Robinson, vocalist Chris and guitarist Rich, gives the band some extra tension and they play with a fiery tightness their heroes often didn’t.
20th, 21st and 22nd it’s EXTREME + King of the Hill (support)
For two nights only (25th & 26th), without his Commotions, it’s
with support from The Indians.
Seal + Bassomatic (support) will be at the Odeon on the 28th

Psychobilly pioneers who developed a brain-frying mix of rockabilly and garage rock with a gloriously tasteless vision of American trash culture.
Conjuring a fiendish witches’ brew of primal rockabilly, grease-stained ’60s garage rock, vintage monster movies, perverse and glistening sex, and the detritus and effluvia of 50 years of American pop culture, the Cramps are a truly American creation much in the manner of the Cadillac, the White Castle hamburger, the Fender Stratocaster, and Jayne Mansfield.
Often imitated, but never with the same psychic resonance as the original, the Cramps celebrate all that is dirty and gaudy with a perverse joy that draws in listeners with its fleshy decadence, not unlike an enchanted gingerbread house on the Las Vegas strip.
