White Denim + White Arrows

Hey! Remember when I used to actually go out and do stuff? And then came back home and wrote about it?

...no, me neither. It's hot. Please go easy on me. My mouse pad keeps sticking to my arms.

Anyway, here are some pictures I took of White Denim and White Arrows last week. Sweat galore!

Multig-rain

Today I walked to Shoreditch to buy some multigrain mini bread at Albion (seriously, best multigrain bread I've found in London so far). On my way back it started to rain, biblical style, and I had to choose between seeking shelter in Spitalfields market or walking through the rain and risk getting my beloved bread soaked. The choice was obvious, so this is what I was stuck looking at for about half an hour this afternoon.

Look at all those running city folk!

Then the rain stopped, I walked back home and had a delicious multigrain + Nutella dinner. The end. Only it isn't, because I still have two mini loaves left for breakfast. Thanks Albion! Stay delicious.

Guys! Guys! Remember like, pogs and stuff?

Like most people that were sentient beings in the 90s I've been taking many rides on the nostalgia train lately. Soulwax are one of the first bands I remember being ridiculously impressed with when I entered teenagehood and really started getting into music. The fact that they were Flemish -like having the same accent as me created some sort of mutually acknowledged bond or something- and were stuck presenting some terrible TMF show dedicated to "alt" music (does anyone remember? @lter8 or some terrible pre noughties slang name I think? it was awkward and amazing.) resulting in some brilliant Dewaele brother video banter just made me love them that much more. This song still holds up quite well I think.

Both these gigs were brilliant. Go see them if you have the chance, shower them with love and support, buy their stuff, etc. etc. !
