Fela Anikulapo Kuti


After a tough week at work there is nothing like a blast of Fela to lift the spirit. Those BIG horn blasts bring a touch of sunshine into the current shitty English weather.

I AM DULL

Seeing as i'm home alone at the minute i'm trying to watch things i'll never get the chance to watch any other time. For example a documentary on Helvetica. Really enjoyed it too! What the fuck is going on?? Clip above (strictly for the design nerds) and yes this is typed in Helvetica.

ATP Movie


I've been threatening to go to the ATP festival year on year, and failed to make it year on year. Thankfully the lovely folks at Warp Films have made a movie of the experience which i've just ordered here. It had an outdoor screening at the Park Hill Flats, a Sheffield landmark (now ANOTHER Urban Splash development), which i also managed to miss (pic above). I vow to make the festival before i'm 40. Amen.

Joy Orbison


Still undecided on this one. I like it but can't see what all the fuss is about. See what you think.
