Electricity T-Shirts!


We have now struck a deal with Skull Print in the UK, and you can now buy 5 different Electricity T-Shirt designs.
Either from our Bandcamp page, (why not buy a CD at the same time?)


Or our new Big Cartel shop, which offers many different coloured shirts. Don’t know WHY you would something other than black, but you might? (Actually you can have coloured shirts from the Bandcamp shop too, it just doesn’t have the clever drop down option, so you need to tell us you want a pink one somehow.)

Terry Carter (December 16, 1928 – April 23, 2024)

I was saddened to hear of the passing of Terry Carter earlier this year.

I don’t know why Terry popped into my head today, but I googled and found out he died earlier this year.
I was very sorry to hear that.
I met him later in his life in the period when he lived in Oslo.

As a corporate film-maker, I came across his name as an available english speaking actor here in Oslo, and having not heard of him, offered an embarrassingly low fee.
He came back with, “OK, but I have passed through Hollywood you know” He came into my project for fun I think, a strange Sci Fi information film for the national telephone company and I think he had a lot of fun.

.

We worked again many times in the following few years, on low level and, for him, simple assignments. He was always a professional, always prepared, a gentleman, and came with rambling stories of Hollywood and film stars, that could have the production happily stretch way past planned schedules.

I of course went back and looked at his impressive career, even accompanying him one time as he surprised his young wife at a student showing of his slightly fruity role in 70´s blaxploitation action film “Foxy Brown” opposite Pam Grier, the film that Tarantino later based Jackie Brown on

It was always a pleasure working with him, and although I couldn’t offer him nearly the wages he should have commanded with his skill and reputation, I think he had fun, working again, maybe a little after he expected to.

I had heard that he had returned to New York, and was not surprised, but was upset that I was certainly not going to see him again.

My thoughts go to his family and friends.
