It’s got to the stage where if I don’t write something about the V&A’s big new exhibition, You Say You Want a Revolution: Records & Rebels 1966-70, it’ll be bloody over (jokes, you’ve got until Feb next year, but still). So I’ma just blurt out my thoughts as they pop into my head, instead of the […]
In a bid to reignite my creative mojo, I’m currently reading The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron. I mentioned one of the book’s main tools in my last post, but the other concept is The Artist Date, which I’m yet to get rolling with. The Artist Date is basically a weekly block of time: “…especially […]
The air is different today, The wind sings with a new tone Sighing of changes coming. Rhawk, Alban Elfed September is all about change, ain’t it? New season, new fashion trends, new series of X Factor (or SCD depending on what floats your boat), new winter coat to see you through until spring. Even now, the […]
Breathing, huh? We all do it, but are you really doing it? Properly, I mean. It’s certainly something we take for granted until we, well, can’t. I’ve been thinking about breathing a lot lately. My dad is currently recovering in hospital on a respiratory ward, and when you go there and see patients with tubes […]
It’s V Festival this weekend, now celebrating 21 years of fun. The not-so-fun, actually-bloody-well-scary thing is: I WAS THERE, at the very first one, that took place in 1996. God, I’m old. I often forget I was at the inaugural festival, V96 as it was called back then, not because old age dementia is setting in (shut […]
TBH I’m a bit miffed that I didn’t write this post when I actually deleted Snapchat, which was nearly two months ago now. Oh well. Since then, Instagram has introduced Stories, and loads of people are ditching Snapchat for a platform they know, love and have already built up a decent following on. But my reasons […]
I so know what I want for my birthday (not until October, but still): an ear piercing and piece of beautiful jewellery from the new – and permanent! – Maria Tash piercing studio at Liberty. Following the crazy-ridic success of February’s month-long pop-up, the cult New York-based piercer to the stars (yup; she counts Beyoncé […]
Florence and the Machine has recorded classical tracks for the video game series, Final Fantasy XV (sure), which comes out at the end of next month. Today, the band has released a selection of the tracks for us all to bend our ears around: ‘Too Much Is Never Enough’, the emosh almost instrumental ‘I Will […]
OK, so if Cher and Shakira have a lesbian love child who happens to guest vocal for Clean Bandit, it would surely sound a little something like this? Yuh-huh, 24-year-old Welsh singer Betsy has just released her second single ‘Lost and Found’ and it is so, so good. Maybe it’s just the mood I’m in at […]
The title of this post could mean many things, I s’pose. Firstly, it could be all, ‘hey, look at my nifty pink Gazelles guys!’ Which I actually bought about seven years ago, before we got the nod of approval from Kate Moss that they were cool again. It could allude to the fact I’ve been ill, […]
