Back in blighty after a spell in Spain inexplicably working with children on summer camps. This is a life choice which I won’t be repeating as it turns out children can see through my affectations and can tell better knob jokes than me! Unpleasant.
Little bit of class (Man Ray if you care) there to take your minds off the knob jokes. A pal of mine has been showing me some photos by a chap named Stefano Stranges and I rather like them. http://www.strangesimage.com/art/others Not sure about some of this but the kids deffo got something worth keeping an eye on. If you’re in the smoke go and see the following at the Barbican library. Some of it is predictably bland but there are a few little belters lurking in here and it’s free. http://www.cityandcripplegate-ps.org/ There is a gallery you can nose through online but let’s be frank it’s free to go so go unless you’re under house arrest or something like that.
Finally: The Handsome family are one of the most interesting and inspiring bands to ever have graced the world with their music. A husband and wife duo who write and perform some truly original and haunting works of twentieth and twenty first century American Gothic. http://www.myspace.com/thehandsomefamily listen to the stuff on here and then buy all their records (and if you go on their website you can buy some interesting paintings too.)
