someone who's doing some things
Things are going on all the time!, This category is about things I’ve been to or sometimes would have liked to have been to. Also, it’s about events I’m a part of or have had some hand in running.
I tweeted this yesterday, but it is still really on my mind. What a massive shame. Of course, I hope he does get better soon, and I hope that the dates get re-scheduled, but that can be a logistical nightmare.
Still, there’s a new retrospective of his work coming out in Feb, so I’ll have to just wait for that and the one or two tracks on there that I don’t have already.
So says the ever wonderful Modern DJ, so it’s worth putting the date in your diary if that’s your sort of thing anyway.
A couple of pictures of the event. I put up a few more at PalmSounds and I expect there’ll be a video from CDR soon.
I went to see Blancmange at Bush Hall on Wednesday. What a great gig. What a great band. Some of the old stuff, a lot of the new. I really enjoyed it.
I’m not sure I’ll get to another gig before the end of the year, so it was a good way to end the year in live music terms.
I went to Bush hall last night and apart from it being a great gig (more of that another time) I loved the building, so here are a couple of shots of the ceiling. It was a great little venue.
It’s kind of fun getting ready for Christmas. All the things that you expect to happen. The last minute shopping, the getting together with people for no apparent reason except ‘it’s Christmas’.
It’s like a kind of ritual preparation. A habit that gives comfort in some ways. Getting ready for the break at the end of the year.
I’m just looking forward to some time off.
Ok, my last post about the veteran car rally for this year anyway. I’ve never had a programme from the rally before, so it was great to get one this year after so many years of watching the event.
