[Photos] Whitby Goth Weekend, November 2016 - Saturday night bands
Less than a month after Friday night's photos!
Saturday night at Whitby Goth Weekend November 2016 featured Chasing Dragons, Children On Stun, Skeletal Family, and The Mission, all of whom have played WGW before - although for some, it's been quite a while! The Mission, notably, played substantially extended sets to mark their return after so many ( Read more... ) -
[Architecture] Antarctic research station design
An interesting, if fairly short, BBC article on changes in Antarctic building design. These days, they mostly look like James Bond sets, but there's some really impressive work going into them - whether from the viewpoint of energy efficiency or consideration for the needs of the occupants for various sense cues that are otherwise in short supply ( Read more... ) -
[DJing/Setlist] Looking Both Ways, Cavendish Arms, Stockwell, Fri 6th Jan 2017
First set of the New Year, this time for a community event with secondary elements of birthday celebration. The Cavendish Arms in Stockwell is a short stroll from public transport, and features a comfortable, sofa-filled, main bar area, with a back room that is properly set up for comedy, bands, cabaret, and the like, with a small stage, PA, XLR ( Read more... ) -

Heading out shortly, so here's wishing everyone a good evening, whatever you're doing. And hope that 2017 is better than 2016 (whatever your 2016 has been like).
Keep creating, keep doing, keep living, keep loving. Because we're going to need that.
So, yeah, here's to 2017.

Anyhow, without vast amounts of further ado, Friday night at Whitby Goth Weekend November 2016 featured Kitty In A Casket, Manuskript, Sigue Sigue Sputnik Electronic, and Heaven 17 - all of whom seemed very ( Read more... ) -
[DJing/Setlist] Alternative Bring & Buy, Tufnell Park Dome, Sun 4th Dec 2016
Behind the decks at Tufnell Park Dome again for the Alternative Bring & Buy. The last time I DJed here, a few years ago, it was the middle of August, and stiflingly hot. This time around, it was actually warmer out amongst the stalls than in the DJ booth. DJing with Jonny Hall ("DJ Terminates Here") and Scott McMahon (aka "DJ The Scot"), it gave us ( Read more... ) -
[DJing/Setlist] The Memepunks, Nambucca, Islington, Sat 3rd Dec 2016
A gig without photos! In this case because I was acting as one of the interval-and-after DJs, along with The Dandy Demondaz.
The evening's acts were Redhead (a classic guitar-rock four-piece), The Wimmin's Institute (perky pop-punk feminist four-piece playing wry wittiness such as their latest 'Nandos', with added trumpet), and the headliners, ( Read more... ) -
[Gigs/Photos] Pretentious Moi? @ Nambucca, Islington, 2016 11 26
Another event promoted by Elegant Decadence at Nambucca - with more apparently being planned for the future.
Anniversary Circle, the opening act, are a three-piece that have been playing intermittently for a while, featuring the time-honoured combination of guitar, bass, female vocals, and a recalcitrant drum machine, and a sound that reminded me ( Read more... ) -
