Perfect Distractions: Moody Disco & Francesca Lombardo
I’ve had to remain way too focused for my own good lately. Deadlines and essays and exams and exhibitions. Too much fretting and not enough partying. And definitely not enough perfect distractions. But this weekend I found time for one. The summer has finally started and Dirty Sunset Disco, a lass called Francesca Lombardo, at a perfect Moody Disco, with a very charming Luca C … Continue reading Perfect Distractions: Moody Disco & Francesca Lombardo

Perfect Distractions: Up Yours’ London’ Get Up Recordings
Several things are compensating for writing a dissertation about gay clubbing instead of decent gay clubbing. As I spin words of myth, sex and image, Queenie’s brews, shreddies and this filthy beast from Hifi Sean and Severino fuelled with acid undertones are keeping me on the right side of sane. Almost.

But, like many, I’m dreading the days of April. Why? Because in the … Continue reading A not so perfect distraction: Disability, Duncan and people like me
Perfect Distractions: Nina Kraviz Boiler Room Berlin DJ Set
Today I’m supposed to be writing my dissertation conclusion. You know, concluding months worth of research and saying something precise, insightful and damn wonderful about the images used in gay clubbing promotion. Except I’m being distracted. By a moving image I can’t quite pull myself away from. Naughty me. So I blame the lass. Stop playing such decent beeps and bangs, stop dancing all stylish … Continue reading Perfect Distractions: Nina Kraviz Boiler Room Berlin DJ Set

There’s a big weekend coming up apparently. Screw Miami, we have a wet, windy and cold Easter Bank Holiday weekend to look forward to. Which means one thing.
