Was sent this link about plans afoot to nibble away at Brockwell Park. Those of you who live in South London will know what an excellent recreational and place of sanctury the park is and I can only see these changes in legislation as bench marks for future development of the green space.
From the petition:
Brockwell Park object to the plan to take more than 1,000 sq metres from the Park for a new road scheme. I also object to the Herne Hill public toilets being demolished. I believe traffic congestion can be eased by taking a minimal amount (a few metres) from the Park and the current proposals are completely out of proportion.
My good buddy Nat bought me a ticket to see Shellac last week at Koko in Camden. We went and saw them last about three years ago (was it that long ago Nat… can’t be?) at Scala and managed to get up the front right in front of Todd Trainer where Nat could drool and have an ear ringing for the next few days from his kick drum. Tonight was no different.
Shellac are always entertaining, sound pristine and solid. Ever reliable. Old songs were played slower which twarted the small but somewhat annoying mosh pit that assembled. Choice tracks of the night were “Squirrel Song”, “Prayer to God” and a new one from the imminent album… the main lyricical hook went something like, “This is the World Service, are you receiving me?”. Simmering!
I so love this band, both of their albums have been on heavy rotation since the end of last year. Thanks to Van for putting me onto them about a year ago. Here is their latest video from the album All This Time…. *sigh* Rock chics!
