7th November 2010 Not sure how it's possible, but this truly touching video seems to have escaped this blog until now: |
6th November 2010 I'm going through the Roxy Rawson performance one song at a time.. the footage from the first track we video'd is a little shaky (Me & William had had a few beers by then) but here it is anyway.. I think I got into a better position for the rest of the show so look out for those soon! |
5th November 2010 Here's a little treat, I saw Roxy Rawson play a breathtaking, 100% unplugged show at the (strangely) exclusive St. Barnabas church in Soho last night.. and, with her permission I video'd & recorded some of it especially for you. I haven't edited the footage yet, but in the meantime, here's one of the tracks.. |
3rd November 2010 A few months ago I filmed an Elena Dana performance at 12 Bar, and so did And, with the idea of editing the footage together at some point for this blog. Here's the result: And's work is the steady, high quality filming that comprises 90% of what you're seeing there.. mine is the leftover shonk that I hope at least adds another dimension (if only that of height) to the video. Elena is, of course, fabulous. |
1st November 2010 My hands are clean My feet off the ground And she wasn't mean, she was unsound So sure when she slept that I had to go The door was bolted so I left through the Merlot From crushes to teases I trust she's with Jesus all over again From blushes to pieces She must be with Jesus now it's over again |
31st October 2010 Talk about a spooky Halloween birthday.. I moved back in to the Chesham abode at midnight, I'm alone here, and my old room is laden with frozen relics from the same time last year. For a moment it was like I never left, and everything that's happened since has been the imaginings of a lunatic.. I opened the fridge & there's my milk in there dated May 5th.. some Alpen on the worktop, and then I saw my pasta.. "Pasta never goes off" I thought to myself, pouring some into a pan, whereupon a giant spider crawled out of the packet.. ! Of course, the Chesham spiders.. it's all coming back to me now! The books I was reading, the letters I never sent & the ones I never read, the photo's that concerned me then & unopened Christmas presents.. it's so strange. But I feel excited to be here, clearing out the physical psychology of a year ago to create a new mindset for this phase in my life. This is my winter sanctuary. Thank you And!! I won't throw away hard earned peace of mind so easily this time. And I miss my Berlin lamp. Onward, and goodnight. |
