Tomorrow...

Don't forget if you're in London tomorrow to come down to Mile End art pavillion (3 mins walk from the station - turn left, cross the road right up Grove road)  for the travelling exhibition Im a part of, ALWAYS COMING BACK TO YOU. Im pretty sure its going to be spectacular, especially after being at the gallery today and watching everything take shape. Im pretty excited maaaan.

ALSO I am pleased to report the arrival of my brand new laptop (ITS PURPLE!)!! I realise that after I declared myself offically back to normal blogging status I sort of didnt live up to the promise, mainly due to the face I was working with a constant thick green line down the screen, no backspace key, no left key, no shift key, a dodgy 'S' and multiple other BADS. BUT NOT ANYMORE! result.

Tomorrow, in a year.

Some good shit is going down this week coming at the Barbican Theatre. On 27th and 28th July the venue will play host to Hotel Pro Forma's electro opera, with music by The Knife in collaboration with Mt Sims and Planningtorock. The piece, Tomorrow, In a Year (gaah I love love love the title so much) is based on Charles Dawin's Origin of Species, and it sounds fucking INSANE.

I have to say, opera is really really not my thing. Me and my mum went to one by accident once (long story) and actually left the theatre in the inteval coz srsly it was proper awful. HOWEVER I think this could be the production to convert me.
Olof Dreijer (of The Knife) says ' One of my first ideas was to make music completely out of fish recordings. But that was super-direct. It was animals sounding like drum machines and that wasn’t about evolution. Evolution is about everything.' insaaaaaaane.

Yeah, I really wanna go.

Army of Karl

 
One of my favourite sights from this year's Latitude; about 8 women all dressed as the former Beach-bum himself, mr Lagerfeld. I have no idea why or what they were doing (some of them seemed to have massive amps or speakers on trolleys) but it sure made me giggle.



PS: YIPPEE! Ive got ma internetz back! This means I can upload REAL PICTURES without having to steal them from other peoples websites!!! it also means it doesnt take me five million years to post the smallest thing. Best of all, it means im back to bizzniss baby. more posts more posts more posts.

GAGGLE



This weekend Ive mostly been at Latitude festival which has mostly been the worst one yet because of all the kids taking K and legal highs and thinking that theyre cool after watching too much channel 4. However because I am the opposite of that and cool in real life I also managed to have some good experiences. Mainly seeing First Aid Kit. Sadly The XX was ruined by the aforementioned but I wont go into that else Ill just spoil things for myself.

Anyway anyway anyway, remember a million years ago when I posted THIS ? (the video of which has since been taken down - FOR SHAME... Ill change it)... well last night I totally got to see them and it was AWESOME. literally the most brilliant thing. So inspiring and just wicked wicked wicked. I love Gaggle and you should too.

Adele Morse


In the latest issue of SUPER SUPER theres an interview with Adele Morse, whos work with taxidermy caught my eye straight away. After staring in awe at her blog now for a while I thought Id come over here (since I havent in ages! damn fucking internets) and share with you horrible lot. Im always really rude because I always get too excited when I find new things and I want to share them right away so I never ask permission so IM SORRY to Adele for stealing these images.... ANYWAYS what you should actually probably do is go to her blog yourself, right HERE. in the mean time, check this shit out!




You also should probably watch this video...



So good. Oh, shes also done some taxidermy for Charlie Le Mindu. Radness + Radness = RRAADDNNEESSSS!!!!!%^"*&^"%*(&^(*

Dude, yr so crazy!

Well sometimes my luck is actually pretty good, and sometimes it is fucking amazing. Yesterday, I had some fucking amazing luck.
Of all the places in the world, I found this in a charity shop in Ipswich. I literally have no idea how. NO IDEAS. But I am so so so so grateful and happy. AND GUESS WHAT, IT WAS LIKE ONE POUND AND NINTY NINE PENCE! WHAAAAAAT?? Totally just coz they obviously had no idea what a GEM they had. Thanx so much YMCA...
