Saturday,
After Recoving from the past night post party merriment, I drove to Manchester for a Skam party, 1st we went to an other old friend from notts flat, had a few beers before Meeting yet another old friend Goodyear, in town, after a comedy taxi drive to this party, taking every wrong turn, then u-tuning on 3 occasions up one way streets we finally got there , this studio, £3 to get in, bargain, well it would of been more a bargian if the sound system was turned on, as only half of it appeared to be working, which was very poor, i must say. Bar was funny as you had to buy what seamed to be key fobs that you would of made in CDT at school, which where £2 which we could swop for a small bottle of beer, If i knew that back in the wood work room at school i think i would have made some more. (see pic of Daz with large amount of these key fobs in mouth heading for the bar/Annihilation which i think he achieved)

Chris is showing his belly hear as he has no t-shirt on. before his set i saw him take off his t-shirt and stand on a chair on the 'stage' and wrap it around a dripping pipe which would of gone on his laptop . any normal person might have moved, "but what's normal? "

The only people dancing where these two black guys who where mock fighting to gabber noise terror!! This needed to be documented .


This the the Dolescam records Release party at the Occupied social centre on Russell sq in London, too be honest I though it was a bit dispointing compared to past parties that we have done, more to do with the space than anything else. which showed in the crowd. a lot of socializing needed to be done, and there wasn't many places to do this, (in the corridor felt like being at school waiting for a supply teacher to turn up as the real teacher had toped them self's as they couldn't cope with this unruly class of kids)

As far the music went, that was alright, good mix of styles , mostly killed by the fact the the Rig was far too big for the small room (about the size of a class room)
the building give give off the vibe that it used to be a school, I think this is why i'm making so many school metaphors?

Mad form of uncanniness happened before i got hear, on the train saw Anthony (mate of a mate, who lives in notts but see him randomly from time to time) so talked to him the whole trip, he works In video, and is doing an MA at goldsmiths in Interactive Art/Design which I didn't know, so had lots to talk about, Then as soon as i got off the trian I saw Ruth another friend of mine on the Bus going to this party, (yes fair enough I kind of knew she would be going to this) .

But on the way back home waiting at the bus stop I saw two of my oldest mates from Notts standing right there ont he pavement in Stoke Newington. that was very bizarre, and this the biggest city in the UK, small world i say.

Check me Out !! this is a solar powered Fan Hat, (this is back in the day during our Powerbooks for Peace session's.

Radio 0 at Hull Art Lab,

Stina and Woody Vasulka, (probley arguing about something?) At workshop we attended last week in Birminham at Vivid. Got talking to Stina after lunch and she said she remembers so from when we saw them In Leeds a few years back, which was nice, then she gave us some DVD of there work, shame we didn't have any work to give them back. They now live in German, In Kalsrue , Where the ZKM is, moved from New Mexico, They sold a lot of their equpiment on ebay/online about a year ago in a 'Vasulka yard sale'. Which was crazy.

Radio 0 at HAL in Hull, 15/04/06

Nice idea for a gig/art event, using short range FM transmitters, pluged into a mixer, and then listen to people in the space with radios on FM band on head phones.

Quite a funny gig as most people who turned up didn't know what they where suposed to do, or who was playing on which frequency, but I kind of like that idea, Also so many radios in one space kind of affected theere reciption, so it worked better in the car outside, (yes it did reach that far) , will be using these transmitter for a Commistion In Manchester in June at Victoria Baths for Sonic Arts Newtowrk Gig.
