Philip Woolway | "Headhunters - Only if you are alive" - Only if you are alive when they take your skull can the Borneo headhunters carve their ornate tribal patterns. To take the head from your opponent in battle is the highest honour. Once the head is yours then the vanquished will be your slave in the afterlife, so much at stake.
Many of the skulls featured in the shot are believed to be over 200 years old and possibly from Portuguese sailors who invaded the islands.
Philip Woolway | Passion Flower - A still life study of the magnificent and intricate passion flower in full bloom featuring both full facing and side views. Captured in macro detail for every spec of pollen.
The name ‘passion flower’ refers to the passion of Jesus and the genus therefore has a particular relevance at Easter. Spanish Christian missionaries adopted the unique structure of the plant as symbols of the last days of Jesus and especially his crucifixion. The symbolism of the different floral parts is as follows:
the five petals and five sepals taken together represent the ten faithful apostles (excluding St Peter the denier and Judas the betrayer)
the flower’s radial filaments or corona represent the crown of thorns
the three stigmas represent the three nails and the five anthers the five wounds (four by nails and one by the lance)
the tendrils represent the whips used in the flagellation of Christ
Philip Woolway | "Larry" - The story is that Larry was, in a previous life a janitor at a French medical institute. Larry enjoyed his work and worked there all his life. At his request he left his body to the institute for medical research. I think the single tooth grinning at me convinced me in an instance that a photograph was demanded.

Wait a minute. When Dipper suggested Mabel carve a wax figure of ‘someone in her family’ in the ‘Headhunters’ episode was he hinting he wanted her to carve HIM? 🥹😂

The Headhunters are a covert group of Spartan-III special operations squads, later reorganized to include Spartan-IV operatives as well. Two Headhunter teams participated in a failed mission on an unidentified Covenant-occupied moon, with notable members including Jonah-B283 and Roland-B210.

Herbie Hancock & The Headhunters - The Jazz Workshop, Boston, Massachusetts, November 13, 1973
Improvised rock! Seems like Columbia Records was trying to avoid the word "jazz" when it came to Herbie Hancock. I think I would've gone with "visionary future funk." But whatever, Herbie and the Headhunters are in a class of their own, and their first record together, the supreme Head Hunters, turns 50 years old later this year. Has there ever been a deluxe edition of this album, with outtakes, alternate mixes, live jams, etc.? I don't think there has, which is a little surprising — especially since Herbie mentions on this WBCN broadcast that they recorded eight tracks for the LP but there was only room for four of 'em on a single vinyl record. Hmmm!
While you ponder that mystery, enjoy an excellent hour of the Headhunters at the Jazz Workshop on Boylston, taped right before Head Hunters came out. We listened to Herbie with his Sextant-era band at the same venue a little while back, and the difference is illuminating. The grooves are ridiculous.
"Even though we'd gotten into this whole untethered thing, I noticed that Miles started having records in his house by pop artists and R&B artists like James Brown," Herbie remembered recently in an Uncut Q&A. "I started listening James Brown and then I started listening to Sly Stone and that was the funkiest stuff I'd ever heard! I got tired of playing this untethered music and wanted to change direction. I wanted something more earthy. That's when I decided to do Head Hunters."
PS - During a break in the broadcast, the DJ delivers a promo for an upcoming Genesis gig at Tufts University. Can I help you out with a recording of that one? Yeah, I can.

Knowing what wine to pair with a meal was something these hungry people had never considered before - how fortunate for them that the pilot of the crashed plane was also a graduate chef from le Cordon Bleu!
