Remembering Bix

The 2016 NoBusiness reissue of William Hooker’s first two albums was a happy turn of events, not only for fans hankering to get their ears on these vital artifacts, but also for a drummer whose career and accomplishments may be undersung even in his historically marginalized corner of the jazz world. But while part of fixing Hooker’s place in the free jazz canon might mean looking back toward the past, in 2018 he’s anything but done creating and collaborating. Never mind that it’s called Remembering — Hooker’s latest album, out now on the visionary cassette-based label Astral Spirits, proves that his most exciting music may be yet to come.

This book examines the fundamental question of how legislators and other rule-makers should handle remembering and forgetting information (especially personally identifiable information) in the digital age. It encompasses such topics as privacy, data protection, individual and collective memory, and the right to be forgotten when considering data storage, processing and deletion. The authors argue in support of maintaining the new digital default, that (personally identifiable) information should be remembered rather than forgotten.

Five albums spanning 1996 to 2017 by guitarist Eric Bell. Best known for the classic, early albums and enduring singles he recorded with Thin Lizzy, including 'The Rocker' and the definitive version of the traditional Irish tune, 'Whiskey In The Jar', his career included a spell with Van Morrison and Them as well as stints with former Jimi Hendrix bassist Noel Redding and former Colosseum saxophonist Dick Heckstall-Smith's Mainsqueeze, not to mention legendary Irish rock band Skid Row. 'LIVE TONITE… PLUS!' (CD1) was recorded in Sweden and originally only available there. Featuring 'The Stumble', best known as a song featured on John Mayall's 1966 album featuring Eric Clapton alongside the Van Morrison classic 'Madam George', Them's 'Gloria', and inevitably two of the songs that first made Thin Lizzy famous, 'Whiskey In The Jar' and 'The Rocker'. 12 years elapsed before Eric's next album, 'IRISH BOY' (CD2), dedicated to the memory of Rory Gallagher.

This book offers an empirically informed understanding of how identity and agency become wholly embedded within practices of media-remembering. It draws upon data collected from the British military, the BBC and Falkland Islanders during the 30th Anniversary of the Falklands war to uniquely offer multiple perspectives on a single ‘remembering’ phenomenon.
