Cuil-lodair, is Briseadh na h-Eaglaise,
is briseadh nan tacannan –
lamhachas-làidir dà thrian de ar comas;
’se seòltachd tha dhìth oirinn…

You understand it? How they returned from Culloden
over the soggy moors aslant, each cap
at the low ebb no new full tide could pardon…

“The view of the Jacobites as quasi-colonial primitives is persistent […] In the Year of the Prince, the last centrally Scottish army mounted serious military opposition to the British government. The seriousness of Jacobitism is ignored because the power of the threat undermines the story of British unity.”

Nikki Sudden died twenty years ago today.

This was a big one for me because he'd performed live on my WFMU radio program just days before he passed. The events of that night are presumably the last studio recordings he ever made, and so obviously remain very close to my heart.

I was a huge Nikki fan and always went out of my way to see him perform when he'd hit NYC. Even then, his gigs felt like an alien visitation from some other dimension -- he was a classic rock and roller with a seminal artpunk past. A considerable departure from the hipster posing and faux-No-Wave culture that was gathering steam in early aughts NYC. His gigs weren't the type you'd show up to dressed in a hoodie and jeans -- something about his presence signaled that dressing sharply was the expectation, and for (single, mid 30ish) me that meant anything from my black velvet suit jacket to a pair of red leather John Fluevog kicks. A little embarrassing upon review many years later, but these sartorial choices seemed spot-on in the moment.

I was unusually nervous the night he performed live on my show. I'd had plenty of revered bands down for FMU sessions by 2006, but Nikki accepting my invitation felt different. He was a bona fide legend! I did my best to bottle up the gushing fanboy routine, and his initial skeptical glances at me through the studio glass softened as the night progressed. By 11 PM, we were sharing a bottle of champagne, laughing, and discussing plans for him to return to the station on his next stateside visit. Before he left, he signed my copy of "The Bible Belt", his solo LP from 1983.

And a few days later, he was gone.

RIP Nikki Sudden. Art punk terrorist in the Swell Maps, Bolan/Bowie refugee in the Jacobites, and prolific solo troubadour who played an outsized role in shaping my understanding of art and life’s various tragedies.

The ruins of the Jacobite-era Bernera Barracks near Glenelg. Built between 1719 and 1723, they were intended to guard what was at the time the main route to and from the Isle of Skye. The barracks were abandoned by the military in 1797. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/glenelg/bernerabarracks/index.html

335 years ago today. Jacobites won a victory at the Battle of Killiecrankie in Perthshire on 27 July 1689, but arguably also lost the war that day. Amongst those killed was the Jacobite commander, 1st Viscount Dundee, "Bonnie Dundee". More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/blairatholl/killiecrankie/index.html
