Gary Speed
Today on Facebook, somebody responded to Gary Speed’s untimely death by questioning him how he could do it to his family. Now I expected to be angry at the jokes but the anger I felt to this response to his death got to me. The whole reasoning behind suicide is you lose all ability to reason. You don’t think about anyone else anymore because you … Continue reading Gary Speed
Matilda: A Journey with Objects – reaching a final destination
It would appear my project is coming to a natural conclusion. After a tutorial and a touch of re-jigging presentation wise (mountboard discarded) I’m hitting the finish line. Matilda is entering weeks of mock-exams and time is running out as the deadline approaches, but as I reflect on the results of my photographic adventures I’m happy with the results. I didn’t get every shot in … Continue reading Matilda: A Journey with Objects – reaching a final destination

Perfect Distractions: The beautifullest love for Bjork
Nothing diminishes my adoration for this lass. She gets better and better and better. Even if she does my the cats ears do weird things. And so she proved yet again this week on Jools Holland with a performance fuelled with pure joy. She’s the kind of addiction I love in others, seeing them in a new ‘girl you have taste’ light, appreciative as they … Continue reading Perfect Distractions: The beautifullest love for Bjork

Perfect Distractions: Maxxi Soundsystem & DRW ft. Royston ‘Open Your Eyes’
Today I bought slippers. Today I had a flu jab. Today I felt old. But then I did the decent thing and purchased myself a copy of Maxxi Soundsystem & DRW ft Royston’s ‘Open Your Eyes’ and everything was alright with the world again. The just so Xylo-loops, the bouncing bassline and the lazy delivery of Royston’s vocal make everything alright. The spring in my … Continue reading Perfect Distractions: Maxxi Soundsystem & DRW ft. Royston ‘Open Your Eyes’
URGENT Defend the voices of Russia’s LGBT citizens now!
On Wednesday, political leaders in St. Petersburg are voting on a new law that will make it illegal to speak in public about being gay, lesbian or transgender. Think about the implications of that for a moment. Thinking about how you would feel if your sexuality meant you lost your right to a voice. A broad coalition in Russia are doing everything they can to … Continue reading URGENT Defend the voices of Russia’s LGBT citizens now!

Disco Deviant does that as this sound piece of film from the ever talented Ben GC (don’t go!) shows. Sometimes clubbing is all about the right vibe. Disco Deviant has it in buckets. Roll on NYE! Disco Deviant … Continue reading Perfect Distraction: Right proper clubbing with Disco Deviant
Perfect Distractions: Richy Ahmed Mix (Hot Creations/One Records) – Moody Disco Guest 26/11/11 @ The Tube, Brighton
Today I am reading about French Surrealist photography. Like you do. Graffiti and shadows, Parisian streets and the odd in the every day. And this somehow seems perfect. Richy Ahmed tickling the deeper side with his quirky beats and kooky take on electronica. I’m loving it. As I will again when he plays in Brighton at Moody Disco on 26.11.11 @ The Tube. A petite … Continue reading Perfect Distractions: Richy Ahmed Mix (Hot Creations/One Records) – Moody Disco Guest 26/11/11 @ The Tube, Brighton
