Well, I have been a bit lax it seems. What can I say, I've been busy! So, I did pitch the night to the owner and he loved the idea. I have since found a business partner and named and branded the thing. Kim and I will be doing "Ravage" at Ghetto London: a night aimed at mid thirties and students playing rave and pre millenia dance music; a full on cargo-nbetted, glowstick waving candy-braceletted event. :) We're very excited!
I had another opportunity arise, but after a bout of enthusiasm seems to have fizzled out. I chose a partner with a real passion for music, unfortunately he's a flame, and he blows hot and cold. I applied for and got a job selling ads for a music mag in Brick Lane which I turned down. Selling ads is not for me, no matter how cool the paper. It was a bold move and a hard one emotionally, but ultimately the right one.
Glastonbury was awesome - probably could've done with it's own entry but it's a little late for that now. The Maccabees were great - I loved the lead singer; he was so shy and unegotistical, it made him sound even more beautiuful. I also enjoyed seeing Dan le Sac vs. Scroobius Pip again; I liked that the crowd were all Radio 4 types. *chuckle*
I went and played some tunes for an American themed party in Christs' College Cambridge, which was a bizarre experience - ripped up the floor with Eddie Cochran, James Brown and Beastie Boys; It was lots of fun!
Going to be doing some DJing at Kill Your Pets at Ghetto, a scene I'm a little daunted at being a part of, but at same time excited! I've been listening to so much awesome music this week, have found some great new artists and bands, ah, fun times. :) I'd recommend Fukkk Offf if you like MSTRKRFT, Soulwax, SebastiAn and other hard electro bleeping.
