Was I even at the same gig?
Saw David Devant and his Spirit Wife at Borders bookshop on Oxford Street... it was a full electric set, but done a bit quietly, so it sounded odd. There was one new song, something about thin ice possibly, and a mix of old and new tunes but the most memorable bit was the annoyingness of the crowd. Before the show one guy - a full grown man, with his hair in bunches - said to a friend "have you heard JJ72? They're just like Joy Division", which made me gag on my iced mocha, and then I was rooted to the spot with sheer irritation listening to two people from Portsmouth Poly talking about how the city had gone downhill.
"It was much better in '93 when I moved here, there was an art house cinema, and much better gigs" says he.
"Like who?" says his not quite so annoying companion.
"um, ah, there was, uh, Chumbawamba..?".
And the art house cinema closed down sometime in the 1970s.
Apologies if it was YOU I am describing. Apologies to everyone else in the whole world, on your behalf that is.

... but I'm fed up with Brazil already. That's probably the worst thing that can happen to a country: getting all this hype from all the wrong places. By September people will associate Brazil with cheap (or overpriced), but definitely green-and-yellow clothing.I'd rather have nobody ever hearing of this bloody country that I live in than see it turned "trendy" for a summer by some marketing teams in other countries in order to sell stuff that's got nothing to do with the country anyway.
While I was in London, my sister was in Zurich. The first thing I saw that she purchased in Switzerland (yes, in Switzerland! can you believe?) was a pair of green havaianas with the Brazilian flag on it. Other than that my sister is the coolest ever pulmonologist. She's a devoted Chumbawamba fan, she plays basketball and she smokes half a pack of Marlboros every day.
