Ohhh...



What fun...!


Yes, Billy Childish was "FUN" in a good old going to a gig at the ICA kind of way. Loud, raw & funny with guitars played straight through the amp, no mixing desk. Just lead, bass & hammering drums, all played with a vim & vigor that brings a big smile to your face.


Oh sure it's not going to please everyone, but it is real.

It's music played with such passion & joy that I take my hat off to him, long may he carry on.


I do also like the venue and the "interesting" ICA crowd. Pretty girls with big noses in Vintage dresses & men not out of place in a Godard film, facial topiary, heavy rimmed specs & asymmetric haircuts, they were all there tonight.


It reminds of music before packaging , spin & product got in the way & before downloads made it so impersonal.

Well before the X-factor cheesed us off.


In all, it was a bloody good British grunt


Which I for one, feel all the better for witnessing



Indeed




W**F

    • Some foxes are very tame. The foxes that live near the electricity sub-station thing on the corner of Calton and Woodwarde will happily walk up to you/passed you. They are some of the best looking foxes around so clearly being well-fed - glorious coats and bushy tails but interested in humans and keen to engage/be fed rather than being scared.
    • Let’s not all get scared of the foxes now. Most likely explanation is protecting its den or association with food. We have foxes, and cats and they are no bother to each other. The fox will leave when the cats are out.   
    • I remember seeing something a few years ago on TV about a fox that was actually biting through people's shopping / takeaway food bags.  It was situated in an alleyway.  Not in London.  Very interesting in how the  urban foxes brain development has  been affected by their surroundings.   Not an exact quote from Darwin.  It's the adaptable that survive / not the strongest or the most intelligent.   I would be worried if a fox came close me.   Because they might be after my fur babies and they carry a lot of nasties.   Although they look beautiful from a distance or on a 🎄 card.  
    • Driving down Lordship lane around 2.45pm today saw a v sick looking fox walking in and out of the crowd.
