No Deposit, No Return Blues
Attention NYC readers: Anthology Film Archives will be screening the Sandy Bull documentary, No Deposit, No Return Blues on August 29th. The documentary was made by Bull’s daugher.
A cult hero revered in folk circles and beyond for his incredible ability to play seemingly any stringed instrument, Sandy Bull’s virtuosity was only matched by his technological curiosity and inclination towards experimentation, both in the studio and onstage. Often compared to contemporaries such as John Fahey and Robbie Basho, Bull’s music merges influences from the worlds of jazz, classical, Arabic, and Indian composition, yet always retains an immediately distinctive feel that comes across as both effortless and timeless. NO DEPOSIT, NO RETURN BLUES shines a light on Bull’s unconventional life, bringing forward many unknown stories, interviews with friends and admirers (Wavy Gravy, Hamza El Din, Bob Neuwirth), as well as long unheard recordings from different periods in his career. If you know Bull’s music you’ll want to see this film, and if his name is new to you then it will serve as the ultimate introduction.

Deutsche Wertarbeit was the solo project of Streetmark vocalist Dorothea Raukes. Her only LP breaks through to some sort of higher synthscape plane, propelled by simple, layered melodies and a pulsating rhythm. Recently reissued on vinyl by the new reissue label Medical Records.
