  • The Bureau meets Aquarium Drunkard (Bonus Episode)

    The Bureau meets Aquarium Drunkard (Bonus Episode)
    Jul 6 2025
    This is a special edition when The Bureau meets Jason Woodbury of Aquarium Drunkard for a joint transmission. Los Angeles-based online music magazine Aquarium Drunkard is a one-of-a-kind map to the sprawling and often overwhelming landscape of independent music.

    Founded in 2005 and piloted for over twenty years by Justin Gage, it has served as a curator, a passionate advocate, and a community for those seeking sounds beyond the mainstream.

    The Aquarium Drunkard podcast - Transmissions - hosted by Jason Woodbury, has become a massive resource for deep dives into music and culture via conversations and with an amazing range of musicians and cultural figures including Jeff Bridges, Jim Jarmusch, John Lurie, Sonic Youth’s Thurston Moore, Devendra Banhart, Lee Ranaldo, Bonnie "Prince" Billy, Shirley Collins, Gina Birch of the Raincoats and many, many more.

    Jason and I decided to make a joint transmission to talk about Aquarium Drunkard and Bureau of Lost Culture, and why we do it. As well as writing for AQ, Jason writes for Pitchfork and Stereogum, is the creative director of WASTOIDS audio network, makes radiophonic sound collage, and he is a musician himself, so, of course, one of the first questions I ask him his how he gets it all done - especially as he has two dogs at his home in the Sonoran desert. There is a bit of mutual back scratching, but we soon get onto the much more important topics of: the best time for creative work, not eating in your twenties, smoking, dreaming, the collective unconscious, David Lynch who really owns The Beatles song Yesterday, AI, consciousness, the most emotional moments from shows, the power of conversation and storytelling, who we'd really like to interview and what's next..

  • The Forger's Apprentice

    The Forger's Apprentice
    Jun 23 2025
    Elmyr De Hory was the greatest art forger of all time. By the time he was exposed in 1967, it's estimated he had created over 1000 works that had been sold as by Picasso, Modigliani, Matisse, Derand, Duffy, and various other modern masters, and many of which remain undetected in institutions and private collections around the world. But does it matter if we believe it's a Picasso and we enjoy it as such? Mark Forgy came to Europe as a 20-year-old backpacker in 1969, bumped into Elmyr on a quayside in Ibiza, and lived with him for seven of the years between his exposure as the greatest art forger of all time in 1967 and his suicide in 1976. It was a whirlwind life of culture, glamour, intrigue, Hollywood stars, dodgy writers, and psychopathic villains, all of which can be glimpsed in the extraordinary Orson Welles film ‘F For Fake’. Welles visited Elmyr in Ibiza and used his life for a meditation on the poetry of what 'fake' means, of what truth means, of what facts mean in comparison with a good story, a great image, an extraordinary performance. Mark came to the Bureau to tell us all about it and to muse on whether the products of Elmyr's undeniable genius were really any less authentic than the art world itself. In our time of fakery, epic frauds, fake news, fake gurus, fake identities, deep fakes, 'my truth not THE truth', feelings over facts, a time when the distinction between Reality and AI-generated content is getting very difficult to spot, this story seems very prescient..

  • Stonehenge and The Battle of the Beanfield

    Stonehenge and The Battle of the Beanfield
    Jun 9 2025
    The ancient temple of Stonehenge is one of the most famous archaeological sites in the world and one of the most visited sites in the UK. Yet, despite hundreds of years of archaeological investigation and speculation, to some extent it remains a mystery. And it is a mystery that is deep at the heart of the British psyche, for Stonehenge has been a gathering place for thousands of years, and remains a nexus where prehistoric culture, mainstream culture and counterculture interact - and sometimes collide. 40 years ago, in June 1985, an incident occurred near Stonehenge that saw the largest mass arrest of civilians in Britain's history. Over 1000 police, many in riot gear, some with their IDs covered so they couldn't be held accountable for what happened, clashed with a raggle-taggle convoy of travellers, hippies and bohemian folk heading towards the Stones to hold the free Festival, which had happened at Stonehenge every year since the early 70s. It was brutal Women with babies were dragged from their mobile homes, others were pulled through smashed windscreens. Vehicles were trashed. People were truncheoned to the floor. There were huge numbers of arrests, but in the end, virtually nobody was found guilty of a crime, although the police themselves were subsequently taken to court and lost. Matt Pike came to the Bureau to tell us all about it. Matt has an official role at Stonehenge, as a guardian of the stones, as a guide to visitors and is the official writer in residence of the site. He also has an unofficial role as social historian and archivist of a huge amount of information, oral testimonies and lesser-known histories of Stonehenge and the things that has happened there, including 'The Battle of the Beanfield', the shameful incident 40 years ago, when the British state turned its security forces on its own people as a warning to the counterculture of the times.
