Ivor Cutler

May 4th, 2006 Fred McVittie

I have just been told that Ivor Cutler is dead. Not only that, but that he died nearly 2 months ago. I don’t know how I missed that. R.I.P. Ivor.

Beautiful Cosmos

May 8th, 2006 Fred McVittie

You are the centre of your little world
And I am of mine
Now and again we meet for tea
We’re two of a kind
This is our universe
Cups of tea
We have a beautiful cosmos
You and me
We have a Beautiful cosmos

- Ivor Cutler

This is my favourite Ivor Cutler song.

Douglas Harding RIP

May 10th, 2007 Fred McVittie

Douglas Harding died on January 11th, and somehow I didn’t hear about it. I am imagining he and Ivor Cutler sitting together, maybe with John Peel, Robert Anton Wilson and Stanislaw Lem, talking about the view from wherever they are now.
