Rational Rec for the Workers

Rational Rec was at the South Bank last night. One of their finest ever performances; a truly mighty and insistent composition called Workers Union. And the best ever guitar piece by their axe-man – he played the strings directly with the jack and also used hair clippers on the pickups. A hilarious lady also gave us

Last night following a full-on two day printing marathon Ping* and I crossed over to Bush Hall to watch Elvis Perkins. The support, whose name escapes me, were an object lesson in mediocrity. I got that warning question ‘what is the point in this?’ flashing up occasionally. Basically EP did all the things they didn’t, so I

We went to the fireworks at Victoria Park. It was incredible. A giant flaming skeletal Guy set off a string of fireworks that launched a rocket the shape of Big Ben. Subsequent fireworks took the form of planets behind. It made me realise how much I’d like to send parliament into space. I wonder if

Yes it was my Birthday on the 19th. Last night we had a fancy dress party where people came dressed as their parents. Basically some people had to put more effort in than others. Kerry here only had to flatten his hair and tuck his shirt in, where Murray here has come as his Dad

We’re really excited to be stocked there, it’s really the best place for artists’ books in London, recommended to us by the Oulipo artist Stanley Chapman when he did Rational Rec a while

I was knocked down by a car a couple of days ago, but thankfully I’m completely unscathed. This fat silver saloon suddenly swerved towards me as I went up Kingsland Road and knocked me into Kingsland Passage, I managed to swing my leg out of the way of the bumper {he hit me side on}

Last night we went to the Danielson gig at Metro in London, and it was amazing. As soon as we did the first clap along {Idiot Boksen} the place was energised. They are real masters of what it is they do. Ping* set them up for the festival circuit ahead with a bag full of her

We went for a beer with Jan from the show. He’s an illustrator from Berlin. We liberated one of his posters from the shop so we can look at it at home. We had loads of fun in this bar above a music school. Another friend we made was Beatrice, who goes to Berlinprojekt and makes

Today we visited Christian’s church in Kino Babylon. It was fun, but in German. After we had all you can eat next door and met a lovely couple from the States and loads of other new friends.
