V is for VACANT

OK been there, done that. Not the best fesitval ever. Everyone looked the same, moved the same, seemingly they all felt the same too. The only interesting thing was the amnesty girls and boys had created in having been cheated in the price of their ticket to having to queue for an aeon for the dignity of private pee spot, were now squatting in groups behind trailers and guarding each other while they relieved themselves all over the greenery of mother nature and in full view of everyone else.

So, Chris did a brilliant set, he head was wobbling all over the place. I'll post a pic next time. For now, I'm quite happy that I got to play in front of Bobby Friction who said I was brilliant DJ and afterwards told me to send him my music. Who'd have thought it? He was taking pictures of me on his phone, possibly not many scrubby looking brown girls take harmoniums out into fields at night and settle their laptop sets on top.

I'm organising Experiment in Sound at the Ministry - lining up experimental DJs and musicians for Nov 29th. Let me know if you are interested, we'll need more than that, little stalls, acts roaming around that truly luscious venue!

Fawsley Fayre and V Festival??!!! Bleugh!

Why am I doing it?

Chris and I were well received even though we had never jammed before and we must practise...

Trying to get a mortgage I was in this padded cell with a glass door near Moorgate, the more she went on and on about death insurance, handicap insurance, about fluctuating markets, I felt something in my mouth and it was the taste of that certain kind of indulgence that people seek in order to forget, to obliterate the strains of a society that they feel is not humane....I wanted to be a drugged up drop-out and cling to pint glasses on wooden bars and wooden tables to blur the edges of a life that cut like paper does: slyly.

But the stress of this job and the alien-ness of this mortgage (see the post on getting a room with a view - it's about the shared ownership scheme_) are bringing other goods. Will let you know if there is a harvest.

....and today we went to a church hall and I watched my boss be slated by 50 of the local community. They wanted a school or a playground: they were thinking of their kids. Oh yes and of their CARS. Goodness do they not want the new houses to bring cars. We (the council) are inherintly evil, not pioneers of change. But this is a great incentive to prove them wrong!

So will I sell out to play at the festival of "the music we all love" - they are the real audio body snatchers - Virgin radio?

Morrisey a great lyricist is playing, wouldn't you? And Faithless, I can dance to that.
