Enjoy

Thought the full stop was cool. So yes, the highlight of my day was being able to preview the upcoming Muse album. I resisted the 30 second previews since they were pretty bad representations of the songs.

This was held at Centre Point (get it?) by the lovely guys at Warner and we consumed alcohol and hot canapes (nobody liked the mini burgers). So yeah, quick lowdown

Uprising – You’ve already heard, disco

Resistance – Really liked it, the preview is so deceiving but it flows nice and smoothly with uprising

Undisclosed Desire – Felt a bit of a pop track, but loved it

United States Of Eurasia – Queen

Guiding Light – Bit too cheesy, went on for a bit though

Unnatural Selection – One of the rockier tracks, you can tell Matt is loving the harmonies

MK Ultra – Palm mute frenzy, all we were doing were air guitaring throughout the song

I Belong to You – Loved it, the end is cheesy, make sure you bring baguettes to the gig!

Exogensis: To lazy to review all 3 separately, but 3 was the best bit, beginning smells of Philip Glass, 2 sort of merged in quickly.

That will do, I was multitasking like crazy, had to leave work early even though I had a lot to do, i worked during the listening and managed to get a few things done (will be powering through tonight with a few tasks).

Afterwards we went to funland and played on the 2p machines until we won prizes (we sort of went into a frenzy instead of calculating each move, the games lasted quicker and we did eventually get gifts yay) We had Korean BBQ for dinner afterwards, that was tastey, lots of beef om nom nom.

Dawn Landes live at Brixton Windmill. After She Keeps Bees we manage to catch this lovely Brooklyn trio play folkish music. Dawn was nice and bubbly and the band produced some pretty ace music that kept us wanting more. During her set she broke her acoustic guitar string and was forced to use the red electric. All in all a lovely show and a lovely lineup, topped with a lovely Nando’s meal

More testing with the flash, quite like this bad boy since you cant see any shadows AND everybody has their mouths open

She Keeps Bees live at Brixton Windmill part 2, with several references to part 1 last week, She Keeps Bees play another lovely set to the lovely lundun folks. She joked around about how people were here to listen to some folk music and was super bubbly and friendly with the audience.

Jessica sang Ribbon which made Anika swoon. She also told me she saw my photos so ACE

I took this with flash, if you look at the Anna Log photo you can see some (well i tried to angle it so there werent many) shadows lurking around which i found really offputting. Flash seemed to be the cure of it and since the light itself was plain, there’s no harm in using it. Luckily I think Windmill is one of those venues where you can use flash and get some good results, I kept the compensation low and the iso high so I wasn’t souly dependant on it, I think the main goal was to eliminate the damn shadows the other lights were making.

And this is where we wake in the ditch
This is where our bodies sing no more

White will have to be colour number 3, not exactly sure where I’m going with this, I told people I was going to shoot this place, people thought I was weird Taking this photo and trying not to get trampled was my main priority.

Funny how things always appear wonky in my eyes
