David Bowie - Letter to Hermione > Songfacts
David met Hermione Farthingale whilst they were both taking dancing lessons from Lindsey Kemp at the Dance Central in London. They split up in 1969 after she met an American dancer and musician Stephen Reinhardt whilst they were working on the movie Song of Norway. The hand that wrote this letter Sweeps the pillow clean So rest your head and read a treasured dream I care for no one else but you I tear my soul to cease the pain I think maybe you feel the same What can we do? I'm not quite sure what we're supposed to do So I've been writing just for you They say your life is going very well They say you sparkle like a different girl But something tells me that you hide When all the world is warm and tired You cry a little in the dark Well so do I I'm not quite sure what you're supposed to say But I can see it's not okay He makes you laugh He brings you out in style He treats you well And makes you up real fine And when he's strong He's strong for you And when you kiss It's something new But did you ever call my name Just by mistake? I'm not quite sure what I'm supposed to do So I'll just write some love to you
David, Hermione and John Hutchinson as 'The Feathers'.

Lamp of the Universe
Lamp Of The Universe is a solo project from Datura (New-Zealand stoner band) bassist and vocalist Craig Williamson.
Just wonderful lay back and relax music.
Lamp Of The Universe (the solo project of Datura's bassist Craig Williamson) was devoted to chanted shoegaze-ragas that could achieve a degree of complexity worthy of the avantgarde, like a lo-fi version of Peter-Michael Hamel or a looser version of Donovan during his Eastern phase. After the tentative The Cosmic Union (Cranium, 2001), containing Lotus of a Thousand Petals, and Echo In Light (Cranium, 2001), containing the ten-minute Our Celestial Flow, the eight-minute Pyramids of Sam and the 17-minute Dream Sequence, Williamson achieve an eerie synthesis with Heru (Barl Fire, 2005), a seven-movement chamber symphony for sitar, tabla, synthesizer and guitar (the same instrumentation he had used on previous albums but here better integrated). Earth Spirit & Sky (Cranium, 2005) and the four lengthy jams of From The Mystic Rays Of Astrological Light (Astral Projection, 2006) tried different avenues but his best moments remained tied to that original idea. Arc Of Ascent (Astral Projection, 2007), the most static and purest of his recordings, contained two lengthy droning improvisations. Acid Mantra (Astral Projection, 2009) experiments with freak-folk and drums.
