#you're in my thoughts

worriedaboutsatan in action at the old blue last

my first feature on russell & reid as editor!
hoooorah!

i interviewed a fantastic electric-duo named worriedaboutsatan before they went on stage at their most recent london gig at the old blue last in shoreditch.

they were lovely lads that made wonderful and hugely interesting interviewees.
you can check out the interview here.

i've also featured one of my favourite tracks of theirs on the playlist.
go check them out. like i said in the article, you will not be disappointed.

pecan pie @ spitalfields

my sister, molly, came down from cambridge to visit and, after a potter around spitalfields market, stopped at the gorgeous leon cafe branch they have there.
we tried their SCRUM pecan pie and tested the quality of the camera featured on my new phone. i wish she could be always be here in london. the day or two we spent together flew by.

spitalfields market, edited on my samsung waveII

just finished reading the absolute classic 'Utopia' by Thomas More. it was unbelievable. for it's time, particularly. a review will be up on the reading list shortly. i highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in politics/society in any way.

#dream up dream up; it was only a change of plan

i am drastically changing PD.

if you look at the bar up at the top of the page, you'll see there are now additional pages for me to seperate my millions of musings in an organized fashion.

i've also had a huge, brutal cleanse of the sidebars. i'm thinking it looks a lot neater.


there will be blog posts as per usual, but i will now update:

# a reading list, compiled of the unforgettable books i adore, that i highly recommend. and of books that look utterly essential and that i plan to read.

# a playlist, of tracks that are somehow perfect, that i think you should listen to.

# a links page, of a select few links in each of their respective areas. links that i continually use myself.

# an 'important people' page, people you should read about or listen to because they're just plain inspirational and that's that.

# a page filled with my own photography.
