Monday February 12th was International Epilepsy Day. I have two types of epilepsy, photosensitive – in my case affected both by light, and certain types of sounds – and atonic (my muscles suddenly lose contraction and I fall or things slip from my hands). For many people with epilepsy the condition is like traversing mountains and Valleys. In my case that happens mostly with photosensitive epilepsy.
Through mountains and valleys is also, literally, what me and my friend Matt do. Me when walking up and down the more, or less, urbanized areas of Porto – Porto is at the end of a mountain range. Matt lives in Los Angeles and if often at places like Laurel Canyon where, in the 60s and 70s, many musicians lived at, including Neil Young who has epilepsy.
The songs selected for the programme comprise those from musicians with epilepsy as well as those from bands and artists that lived at Laurel Canyon

Poem 43 in the Lower East side 1975 oh, Andy those days of yellow apocalypse yesterday the Oscar Wilde of the Sloane Rangers come by when Noel who writes songs was eating chocolate in a pink bubble and we were going to escape the heat wave until Bill took ill life after death in purple and blue stars forever in Enceladus they faded 79, they say, is the year of the change print, piano, case, frame wrap it, place it under the stairs the steel magnolias and the cotton candy that Tommy brought from a faraway land forgotten at the bottom of the garden an infinite eight suspended like an angel Caravaggio gambled his brushes in the time travel Sandro won them painting the one who arises naked so magical, so sheltered oh, those days, in the Lower East Side, 1975
Poem 51 oh Andy, do you remember those days, in the Lower East Side, 1975 how every morning in a flowered patterned skirt and rainbow strappy sandals i would arrive at the letterbox avoiding a pool of piss, spunk, blood escaping used condoms and discarded syringes for a day’s work at the vinyl shop? upstairs, asleep, creatures of the night pale and thin dreaming of the next fix whilst across the road vendors of flesh took their coffee or was it firewater? preparing to withdraw until the shadows returned for one more night shift as we danced on the trendy bars drinking expensive red wine laughing and eating cake like marie antoinette ignoring the real issues ours and theirs but it was bloody good fun, wasn’t it, Andy?
