worst tag line ever...

...but this really could be good.

suspended bridge with sweet shop

So this was the highlight of the Free Range stuff on Thursday. The card at the bottom says "Project - suspended bridge with sweet shop in south bank". And if you can't quite work it out, the model shows a bridge going down the thames with a bright orange sweet shop which is taller than the London Eye. In addition to this there is some sort of MASSIVE silver egg on its side in the middle? Thinking outside the box yeah?

Also there was a show of people that had just finished a degree in "media make-up".... which is face painting. boom.

Anyway.... check out this "two doors down" remix...

Free Range

Free Range is "Europe's largest showcase of graduate art and design" - it's also an excellent way to get drunk for free on Brick Lane and mock peoples "art". There are private (read - public) views every Thursday night till the middle of July, which means Thursday nights just got a lot cheaper. Look at the website for a taste of what's going on.

podcasts really...

OK OK OK OK so I just thought I'd share some love on what podcasts i'm listening to at the moment and I'd like some suggestions back on what I should be listening to... everything I mention here you can subscribe to via itunes so I won't bother linking to everything.

The Fabric podcast is all ways really really good, Howie B has just done a two part one, the first part was older stuff that has inspired him and the second part which i am literally listening to RIGHT NOW has some wicked new stuff on, the first track being some crazy re-working of Singing in the Rain which is so dark, worth downloading just for that, and thats the current Fabric podcast, so if you do it today that should be the one you get.

I'm also a big fan of the Erol Alkan podcast, which is less regular but always excellent. The most recent one was Beyond the Wizard Sleeve live.

Durr do a good podcast with lots of the live sets from their night, and also heads up to Ed Banger and Kitsune for good electro mixes seemingly constantly. 

I also get the Guardian Music Weekly podcast, and all though I never listen to Radio 2, I guess that it sounds something like that. I don't know. They have good insightful interviews and always good guests, the most recent being Mystery Jets and Andy Burrows. The presenters are pretty bad, it kind of feels like they've just got their columnists to do it (which they probably have) so although they are occasionally witty, it all feels a bit awkward. But I like it.

The thing with listening to podcasts all the time is that you never listen to the radio, so I also get BBC Radio 1 indie weekly and Zane Lowes 5 minute podcast of his hottest records of the week.

IN NON RELATED PODCAST NEWS - 1965 and Domino Records are having a little knees up tonight at Corsica Studios near Elephant and Castle tube... so come along to that yeah?
