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.

Life is so crazy. But then I guess if Bill Murray comes to your house party, all is forgiven Mr Craven.

Perfect Distractions: Thomas Gandey Love Is Love
Spring and strings. Love and love. That’s what keeps me going. That’s what makes me grin. And this makes me grin like a girl possessed. I’m still not sure why it always has to be the strings. Why a part of me can’t get by without strings alongside my bass. As the world finally gets that deep house I’ve banging on about, I’ll always tread … Continue reading Perfect Distractions: Thomas Gandey Love Is Love

Perfect Distractions: David Bowie ‘The Stars (Are Out Tonight)’
Fine tailoring and flipped out housewives. A legend pulling a shopping trolley and a ginger envy. The coolest shell suit and the perfect nightmare neighbours. The famous musing on post-celebrity and androgyny rocking out. Saskia be Brauw and Anrej Pejic. Iselin Steiro and The Thin White Duke. Desire, arousal and cool. I’m in awe of an aging pop icon. I’m in love with a pale … Continue reading Perfect Distractions: David Bowie ‘The Stars (Are Out Tonight)’
