My ticket for Laurie Anderson’s amazing show on Friday. It was everything that I’ve come to expect from a Laurie Anderson show. Amusing, emotional, political and personal, it was a great performance on every level. I’m so glad I went along.
I wish she’d release another album. I know it hasn’t been long since her last, but the material from her last few shows is so good I’d like to hear it again.
In any case, it was a superb show and I’m glad I made the effort to get along to it.
I’ve just finished watching season 1 of Blake’s 7, and I’ve loved every minute of it. It’s been wonderful. I’m really looking forward to the next two seasons, which I’ll almost certainly watch soon enough. The more I watch Blake’s 7 the more I realise just how underrated it was.
So, on to season 2.
The Science Museum seems to have a real problem with cockroaches. It’s a shame, I’m sure it’ll start to impact on the visitor numbers at some point. They’re big ones too!
I’d heard that this was one of the best places to see the film, but I hadn’t realised just how amazing a cinema it was. The screen really is huge, immense even. As for the film, well I just wasn’t ready for something on the epic scale that is “The Dark Knight Rises”. It is an incredible journey of a film, an excellent script and a superb plot.
In fact it makes me want to see the other two films right away. I just can’t wait for the boxed set!
I had a great time at WOMAD this year. It was a good time to relax and reflect on what’s been a very busy year indeed. More thoughts on this over the next few days.
