Extremely swift Whitby band reviews


  • Fangs on Fur - early Siouxsie imitators
  • Inertia - cross between Apoptygma Berzerk and Pro-Jekt, but lacking something. Passable.
  • Dutch Order - style still not very well defined, but good.
  • Alien Sex Fiend - seminal but irritating.
  • Blitzkid - can't decide whether to be metal or psychobilly. Jolly good fun though!
  • All Living Fear - trad in the Mission mould. ISTR promising someone (possibly from the band?) I'd give them another go after last time I saw them.
  • The Last Cry - bit like a random walk though lots of 90s goth bands but overall OK actually.
  • Angels of Liberty - bit OTT but fun.

Assorted good things

I've been accepted for another art show! The Norwich lot want me back again, for their open exhibition next April/May: http://www.assemblyhousenorwich.co…
Audience participation: I plan to make a transparent book of Conway's Game Of Life, with each page being a state. The idea is that as you look through it you ought to be able to see the grid evolving off into the misty future. I was mentioning this to people at the pub yesterday, and lots of you had good ideas which I've now forgotten. I'm after suggestions for interesting Game things to print; I'm aiming for maybe 100-150 states (though open to fewer or maybe even more if there's a really cool idea, though transparencies are pricey); no larger than A4, so grid size compatible with seeing something interesting at a sensible resolution at that size; undecided as to whether the pattern should repeat; must look interesting whilst it's doing it :-).

Current book project is almost done and should be at the photographing stage next week.

I'm doing a masters! In epidemiology, with the <finest-Victorian-explorer-accent>London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine</f-V-e-a>. They're terribly well organised. I have spent the last 2 weeks trying to force some stats back into my head.

Last week I went to Copenhagen for work and had a lovely few days full of useful meetings and sightseeing (though I managed to go when everywhere was shut, curses).

In addition, people have been plying me with presents, and tomorrow I'm going flint knapping, about which I am LUDICROUSLY EXCITED.
