Aloysius will sulk if he doesn't get his crack cocaine
Enjoyed Black Plastic on Saturday; I recognised practically nothing of Jo's set, but the stuff with guitars sounded like early Spandau and the stuff without guitars sounded like early Human League. Is that Italo disco? Anyway, it takes a true pop scholar to realise that Couples and 'The Perfect Kiss' piss all over Someone to Drive You Home and 'Blue Monday', so well done there. By the end of the night everyone was too pissed to care about being cool and it turned into a great big old-fashioned 80s disco, which was great. Early sign of gentrification in "cool" Dalston- while we were standing in a desolate landscape, waiting for an obscure nightbus off Kingsland Road, a man walked past in full evening dress carrying a great big teddy bear.
In lieu of having a life for the moment -and inspired by the excellent music writing by M. Devereux at Radio Nixon- I've set up a new blog where I can indulge my cinema geekery to the max. Unlikely to be most people's thing, but it's a week old and had less hits than Whitetown so far, so I may as well draw your attention to it: ritualsanddreams.wordpress.com.
