Download Free Track
This%20Window



This has been a great week for me, not only has Microsoft made it possible for us (This Window) to give away a free download without it costing us money but the track, ‘You Have The Power‘, has out performed our wildest expectations, with loads of people taking up the free download offer.

Get our free, exclusive download of ‘You Have The Power‘ here: http://www.myspace.com/windows?homepage=thiswindow made possible by Microsoft.

Not only this but…This Window have made the top 30! We’re pleased to announce we are number 30 in the ReverbNation Alternative charts for the UK! www.reverbnation.com/thiswindow .

Due to this unexpected luck, my painting has had to be put on hold.

This was a shock to find on ebay!

Somebody is selling This Window's (some say the best) cassette album Extraction. This was released by EE Tapes of Belgium in 1989. You can listen to the 2007 remixed version on the Extraction page on This Window's website.

It was planed to re release this album as a limited CD but .... maybe next year as a 20 year special.

Live Bootleg (CD)

Disc: £5.25


This disc is a record of the live gigs that Finish The Story did between 1981 and 1983. These tracks are the only known live recordings ever made (as far as we know). The quality is not brilliant but the performances are. The first two tracks have only recently been discovered - does anybody know where the recording originates from? The Exeter gig is the audio from a VHS video of the gig. This is worth getting as it is a rare glimpse into the mythology that was the early Finish The Story.

1. Alone With A Picture In A Matchstick Frame
2. Chant Of The Boxed In Society
3. Dressed Up In White
4. Every Angry Word
5. The Righteous Talk Of Remembers
6. Empty Vessels (Make Most Sound)
7. The Angel Who Pawned Her Harp
8. Me Accusing Me
9. Contenders To Play
10. Playing At Life

Are you having problems being seen by the major search engines? - Do you type in your name and not even appear on page three? The simple reason for this might be that they don't know you even exist.

The most efficient way (we have found) to get noticed is to place a simple xml sitemap onto your site and then physically submit the page(s) to the major players. (You have to make sure you do this correctly otherwise you might compound your problem!)

We can do this for £2.50

Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the volume and quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via "natural" ("organic" or "algorithmic") search results for targeted keywords. Usually, the earlier a site is presented in the search results or the higher it "ranks", the more searchers will visit that site. SEO can also target different kinds of searches, including image search, local search, and industry-specific vertical search engines....more

Last night I went to the preview of Laury Dizengremel's sculptures at Broomhill Art Hotel (Nr Barnstaple, N.Devon). She was recently commissioned by the ATP, governing body of the men's professional tennis circuit, to create sculptures of the top eight tennis players in the world as "Tennis Terracotta Warriors". After being displayed at the Tennis Masters Cup venue in Shanghai, China, the sculptures were transported to Wimbledon Museum where they are now on display. Other major credits include public sculptures in Ireland, Honduras, France, Vietnam and China, as well as busts of John Travolta, Chick Corea and Isaac Hayes.

Current mood:  stalked

Duchamp: I would have wanted to work, but deep down I’m enormously lazy. I like living, breathing, better than working. I don’t think that the work I’ve done can have any social importance whatsoever in the future. Therefore if you wish, my art would be that of living: each second, each breath is a work which is inscribed nowhere, which is neither visual nor cerebral. It is a sort of constant euphoria.

There are poets, painters, artists, musicians all over the place in history who need a M U S E – amusing don’t you think? Stella Cartwright was the muse who entranced a cohort of Scottish poets and inspired passionate, love poetry (20th century). Her correspondence gives a glimpse into tragic story of the femme fatale who held some of Scotland’s greatest ’rhymers’ in the palm of her hand.

As a young girl she dreamed of becoming a poet, but she was destined to earn her place in literary history as a muse. She was introduced to the "Rose Street Poets" by her proud (bohemianesque) father as a ’bubbly’ 17-year-old. This group of poets were fuelled by alcohol and they drew this teenager into its grasp, a cruel and sadistic act….Drink is the friend with a knife that turns to stab you (based on a quote by her lover George MacKay Brown)..... read more?

She did write poetry but her poems are only footnotes in history books. Victorine Meurent, Manet’s muse was a painter but yet again was designated to the margins. The creative need the weak to clamber over to reach success. – Who is the greater the artist or the spark?
