Quite an entertaining - if knackering.. - few days back in the ‘smoke’…
Caught about 10mins (real time) of royal stuff on a tv screen at gatwick with about 15 other curious tourists. Can’t say i gave a shit either way tbh, but kinda surreal in so many ways.. you just sense the clock’s ticking on all of it
At the other end of the social scale ‘Beyond the streets’ was very well done too. Loved the cosmic room and nyc heritage, memorabilia etc. I still far prefer sharp toilet graf or social statements to tagging/trashing trains tho… heard classic tunes playing like ‘buffalo gal’ and ‘rapture’ .. all heritage stuff… made me think about how desperately we need a new yoof revolution, new ideas, new music, new energy..
Dived into The Social on Sat. To stumble in on a full on 93-94 prog revival! Never imagined i’d ever hear patrick prins ‘le voie le soleil’ again in my life!! A real journey back in time. I always liked it in there but jeez we felt old..
Fun, boozy sunday session at the ‘between the bridges’ down the south bank. Sun was out and so were a few old faces, andy taylor in the place straight off a plane from ibiza.. then hotfooted up to stokey to a bar for more fun and games, sassy wylie playing a whole load of sounds i didn’t even know existed… dark-garage-tech anyone?
A day on coast too for a family 80th… brighton at its most brighton, rainbows, pubs, hippies, junkies and huge groups of exchange students, sometimes all on the same street corner
and back to spain, reality, job centres and after the spending this week, bargain meals at mercadona
If anyone does see me though come and say hi
