All Day And All Of The Night

All Day And All Of The Night has been a much-loved number of Van Credenza for many years: this is our attempt at covering the protopunk favourite. Flunk, the Norwegian electronic specialists, also recorded All Day And All Of The Night in 2005, but their version was more a remix than a cover. This interpretation relies on influences from the original recording stars, The Kinks, and contemporary artists such as Flunk, Serbian hard rock musicians Cactus Jack, and Albanian experimental duo Arnavutluk.

Wasteland

Wasteland is a collaborative effort, with lyrics by Newton N. Minow. They are as follows:

"When television is good, nothing — not the theater, not the magazines or newspapers — nothing is better.
But when television is bad, nothing is worse. I invite you to sit down in front of your television set when your station goes on the air and stay there, for a day, without a book, without a magazine, without a newspaper, without a profit and loss sheet or a rating book to distract you. Keep your eyes glued to that set until the station signs off. I can assure you that what you will observe is a vast wasteland.
You will see a procession of game shows, formula comedies about totally unbelievable families, blood and thunder, mayhem, violence, sadism, murder, western bad men, western good men, private eyes, gangsters, more violence, and cartoons. And endlessly commercials — many screaming, cajoling, and offending. And most of all, boredom. True, you'll see a few things you will enjoy. But they will be very, very few. And if you think I exaggerate, I only ask you to try it."

Mr Minow’s contribution is unconscious.

Firmament


The Earth is at the centre of a sphere of infinite extent on which the stars, planets, and other divine bodies are located. This Firmament above us extends to the Empyrean, which contains the pure element of fire.

17 Miles

.

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the European laboratory for particle physics near Geneva: is this the world's most ambitious scientific experiment? Or is it a potential threat to survival?

Van Credenza wonders why governments who seek to control many facets of our lives in the name of protecting the population and the planet thinks we should gleefully accept paying multi millions to delve into Quark, Strangeness And Charm.

C'est pas sorcier.

Visit to Club Robotnik

Visit to Club Robotnik

An astonishing and wonderful occurrence recently: a visit to Club Robotnik! The city’s best kept secret, Club Robotnik both soothes and soars: this was one of the finest nights of the past year. Surprised beyond belief, but full of joy as the consequence of the evening, Van Credenza recreates the happening here for one and all to experience.
