Music is a huge part of my life so it’s almost certain that this category will have a lot of stuff in it.

The Half Moon in Putney

Posted by on in Events, Music

I hadn’t been to this pub / venue in a long time, and it was really nice to be back. It’s a great little place. I went with a bunch of friends to see the band ‘Mad Dog McRea”, who were good fun to watch really. I think I’d almost certainly go back if there was someone good on there.

Another visit to the Oramics Exhibition

Posted by on in Exhibitions, Music

A couple of weeks ago now I made another visit to the Science Museum’s Oramics exhibition. I really like this small exhibition. It is quite unusual and they keep adding new items to it and changing it slightly, which is one of the reasons I keep coming back. I think I’ve been to it 4 times now.

I like how everything from her work is linked forward to how electronic music has developed. It’s interesting to see the progression and understand where things came from.

I almost certainly will go back again if I get the chance.

Fashion: The Twilight of Idols

Posted by on in Listening, Music

I bought this after listening to Fashion’s Fabrique album, or to be correct, an album called “The Height of Fashion”. I had remembered that the second album wasn’t nearly as good, and was in fact a bit of a let down, and after buying it again I remember just what a disappointment it was. There are a couple of reasonable tracks, but the rest are nowhere nearly as good.

What a shame. Never mind though.

Music day at Exhibition Road

Posted by on in Events, Music

I was around Exhibition Road for part of Music day this year. I missed it the last time it was on, so I was glad to be able to go this year. I managed to catch a few musical moments, one of which was a performance of a piece that was inspired by the hall of the modern world in the Science Museum.

It wasn’t bad at all. Quite ponderous and slow and thoughtful, but I enjoyed it a lot in the end. I’m glad I went, and I hope that music day keeps going, it certainly made it a more interesting trip.
