Friday, December 28, 2012. Conversation about doom music, Throbbing Gristle and Nico. I went around to my mate Nigel's house tonight - he had got two tickets for a Miko Vainio gig at Cafe Dalston in January so I went to give him the money for my one. Nigel out on the third of these LPs then the second. The famous Nico voice, and in the background experimental sounds. 'Eno having a laugh'. Monday, December 24, 2012.

World flapjack day: April 2011
http://worldflapjackday.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 30, 2011. A zen way of learning photography. I went to collect my first set of prints from Boots the Chemist yesterday.

But last night, when everyone else in the mosh pit was over forty, I made an exception. Gedge writes songs that are snatches of dialogue.

The band kicked st...
