Richard Hawley at RFH. NIce concert - appreciative audience. Bottom end somewhat out of control IMO.

Lord Martin Rees
A wonderfully interesting book about cosmology that goes right over my head.

Every Good Boy Deserves Favour

Every Good Boy Deserves Favour at the NT. Olivier. Brilliant. A twist I didn’t see coming. Stoppard is so intelligent and so commercial.

Forest Fire

Forest Fire “Survival”. A lovely record, full of space and a real sense of passion and performance. Beautiful.
The Pains of Being Pure at Heart
21/01/10 11:00 : Vinyl
The Pains of Being Pure at Heart. I am carrying on exploring the Rough Trade Best of 2009. I love the way there are no drums on track one. If I had never heard Jesus and Mary Chain or the Smiths I would think this was absolutely brilliant. A pretty big if, I know.
These New Puritans
19/01/10 19:00 : Concerts
These New Puritans instore at Rough Trade. Good to see and hear them after a long time.
Fuck Buttons
17/01/10 20:00 : Vinyl
Fuck Buttons “Tarot Sport”. Don’t like the white-noisey brightness all over the record, but love the krautrock vibe of Olympians.
Pop Life
15/01/10 15:00 : Gallery
Pop Life at Tate Modern. Brilliant overload of sound and light and colour (and sex)
Wild Palms
14/01/10 23:00 : Concerts
Wild Palms played a great gig at Corsica Studios. I arrive much too early & so took some pics of the nice people in the club. Also pics of the band in performance are here.
Depeche Mode
09/01/10 21:00 : Concerts
Depeche Mode at O2 in Berlin. A fun evening, and a pleasant aftershow.
