New Music

Been listening to demo’s (still at the Apple Store). Some good, some not. Ears hurt a bit. If you are in town over the next few days check out City Showcase – there’s lots of new music being played in shops – quite fun.

Live at the Apple Store

Dan Raza – what a great idea – and what an amazing voice.  Just not going to get any work done.

Theatre

Went to the theatre last night.  Saw English People Very Nice at the National.  Not sure what I think about it as a whole, but thought that it’s a great starting point for lots of issues; nationalism, multiculturalism, racism and censorship.  It’s very funny and I was happy-ish to laugh through the historical take on immigration to the East End, but I was very aware that at some point when it stopped being history and started being current, that I stopped being able to laugh at the jokes and started to get a bit hot under the collar.

I really love what the National are doing at the moment in terms of making theatre affordable. And I’m not sure why perhaps because I’d been watching a bit of film-making during the day, I just got such a thrill being in the theatre. Plus I went with some lovely people and we had an interesting conversation afterwards that only got cut short because it got too late.

Note to self: see more theatre.

Not just typing anymore

Flyperson just audio boo’d me… I’m in shock… you don’t have the internet for a few months and the whole world changes.

A Twitter thing

Just discovered TweetDeck – seems complicated.

Amazing

Wow, I haven’t watched this on TV – but what a performance… my eyes are a little moist. [via]
