There is a light that never goes out...: March 2014
http://neonmessiah.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
There is a light that never goes out. Saturday, 1 March 2014. Live Music Review - The Darkness - Brighton Concorde 2 07/12/2013. Pop music has always been a little too po-faced for my liking. To be taken seriously as an "artist" you either have to the act the tough guy, get your kit off or appear mysterious. There's not much room in today’s charts for "comedians". Humorous acts are instantly dismissed as novelties and relegated to the Christmas hinterlands or Comic Relief telethons. After the party comes...

There is a light that never goes out...: February 2015

There is a light that never goes out. Tuesday, 3 February 2015. Live Review - Hayseed Dixie - Concorde 2. Popular music is littered with musicians who have carved out a career interpreting other people’s songs. Louis Walsh may grandly describe the process as “making it your own” but the likes of Tom Jones, Rod Stewart and Michael Buble churn out whole albums of turgid MOR muzak as the “credible” face of cover music. 8220;The power of Jools”. He spends the entire gig clowning around the stage and gurning ...

There is a light that never goes out. Thursday, 1 May 2014. Live Music Review - Robert Glasper - Concorde 2 - Brighton. Jazz has long had the reputation for being the unique preserve of uber-cool, beret-wearing beard-strokers smoking Gauloises in dingy basements. Heads are nodded to improvised solos and diminished 9ths are talked about in reverential tones. It’s a select club and there’s a good chance you are not invited. He is the go-to-guy for heavyweight. First up is Glasper’s take on. Tonight he is d...

There is a light that never goes out...: Live Music Review - Angie Stone - Concorde 2 Brighton
http://neonmessiah.blogspot.com/2014/08/live-music-review-angie-stone-concorde.html
There is a light that never goes out. Sunday, 10 August 2014. Live Music Review - Angie Stone - Concorde 2 Brighton. In this era of Rhiannas and Beyonces, Angie Stone’s brand of measured R&B could be considered something of an anachronism. Into her fifth decade Stone has outlasted an army of. Ass-shaking pretenders and she isn’t about come out on stage twerking or swinging naked from a wrecking ball. She’s much too classy for that. Offsetting the tracks sultry Michael Jackson sampling funk. If the shoe f...

There is a light that never goes out. Wednesday, 18 December 2013. Re)Cycling in Granada, Nicaragua Part 1:Machetes, Marinas and Mountain Bikes. Nicaragua may rank as the 2nd poorest country in the Americas behind Haiti but one of the side effects of having no cash is that Nicas certainly do make best use of their resources. So, with resources at a premium and cars being an expensive luxury for a lot of the locals it makes perfect sense that Nicas are bike crazy. After all cycling is cheap, quick and...

There is a light that never goes out. Saturday, 28 September 2013. Live Music Review - The 1975 - Brighton Concorde 2 - 28/09/2013. The music industry is a cruel mistress. One minute you are the hottest thing since Hot Chip and the next you are fighting it out with The Pigeon Detectives to get a gig at the Butlins Indie Weekender. They have been championed by Zane Lowe, recently sold out The Bowery in New York and in a recent poll of Radio 1 listeners their single Chocolate. Silhouetted by the back and w...

To be fake, or not to be fake: that is the question. October 10, 2015. October 14, 2015. The Very Hungry Ciretta-pillar. So much has happened over this last month and I wouldn’t even know where to begin in typing it all out. I have debated telling the whole story with all the screenshots from conversations I have saved but then would it really be fair for you to read only one side of the story? What do I mean by “. Google definitions will start this ball rolling:. I also found this on Urban Dictionary.

Let’s talk about Politics. April 21, 2015. June 19, 2015. The Very Hungry Ciretta-pillar. Before I get in to this blog post I just need to make one thing very clear:. I am not, and do not think I am, an expert in politics. The only question you need to ask yourself is:. What do you want for you and the country you live in? If you can answer that, your voice matters. And every vote counts. The Guardian, 20 April 2015 – “Tories still ahead of Labour in latest Guardian/ICM poll”. I’m not voting because they...
