Deaf Sentence

Had another brammer of a time last week, went down south to catch a few concerts and generally doss about. What did I learn on my travels ?
  1. There's a street in Lambeth with two (yes, two!!!) Greggs the bakers on it! I was so unnerved that I bought myself two sausage rolls and one chocolate doughnut, a potentially fatal inversion of the sacred order. If you're still able to read this, I'd guess the universe hasn't collapsed in on itself quite yet.

  2. The Imperial War Museum is a truly wonderful thing... but sadly confirmed to me the continuing development of a worrying fascination with, erm, old buses... hmm...

  3. Saw Control at the flicks and was definitively reminded that the lovely Alexandra Maria Lara is very much in the running for being my third favourite (adopted) German...

  4. Neil Peart is the only drummer in the world who punters come back from the bar to watch perform his solo spot... (oh, and Rush are still a magnificent live band).

Anyways, what I really went down there to see was this :



Don't quite know if it was the loudest thing I've ever heard - the Moggies and Sunn 0))) are damn good competition - but it was pretty intense nonetheless. Still didn't get around to visiting that giant squid, tho'... for shame!

Nah, didnae fancy it. I did notice when I was down there that there were a couple of bass players in the throng, at the back (natch)... but I (rightly) decided that maybe not everyone would be quite so appreciative of Hamilton's own answer to the blessed Geezer peeing all over their symphony :-(
