pet shop box Simon Nunn bedlam

My first mobile blog. Upward? But ho! Walked out to BEDLAM venue in Woolston to catch up with the Andrew o'Connell phenomenon.  Really pleasant evening and met some great chch locals. So bedlam is a Thursday night doo-dad that kicks off 5:45, an after work crowd enticer. BYO. A bonfire. Vehicles. Van's. What ho!  Simon Nunn christianed the night with a sublime set of hymns! Come all ye faithful was a personal highlight. Delicate yet transformational. Such liturgical plainchant warmed the cockles. To be at such an intimate venue was so pleasing post lockdown- so good just to see people. People. Actual people. My hermit days may be numbered. Nunn is a troubadour. Next O'Connell titillated with his off the wall 'centre left' comedy (as he called it). Obscure, small-bizz owner cynicism and laconic free range jocularity. A touch of mouldy breaded conspiracy, 'woke Hitler' a jab at the extremely sensitive hyperinfrastructure of our current slew of enlightened youth.  The highlight ---Pet Shop-ox. Cooley crafted glittering electro-pop featuring Simon Nunn on guitar and deftly melodic backing tracks and ox delivering his arcane lyrics. Really polished and super fun. Their press kit features some gorgeous photos. seek em out! 
I imbibed booze as usual, started the old headscarf as psychic defense routine. These are tough times for all - freaks like me especially.

crude, wolfskull and consolidated fuzz lodge maori review

How to appear less creepy? Strip. Strip half naked. Didn't take it far enough. Who's the bigger psycho? Its autumn and the lodge maori hosted a show. Was a miracle to see folks arrive. Consolidated Fuzz is a new assemblage of guitar warriors, pinger. Jacko, how can I appear less creepy? Is your mission to appear creepy ? If so, thats already a problem . Don't take your clothes off. Ever. Dont change. Don't wash. Sleep in your clothes. Cluster A. Consolidated Fuzz were first up, glistening, like pvc piping, my liege. Age and ageing, ageing gracefully, staying relevant, sourcing the timelessness of certain genres - for instance psychedelic punk (whaaaa?) and there was an illuminati present. keep it relevant. keep it reverent. reverence is to be your entire stance from now unto eternity. the wide eyed boy greeted the war hero reverently.  Phallocentricism , thou art music. Music and musicians, devils and demons all. I am looking for an out. Cant do anything anymore. Just l

pleasing them

 How it is done? Why, t'is an inflection, my son. A taut tounges-piece , loosened and tightened again, all the while keeping pace - remember your drum lessons son. a slow pace. that gradually speeds up. but remember! consistency is the key! keep it consistent. And rush it not. Neigh, some are fetishists, some freakish. Some will quiver and relent after but a sprinkle of dab, others need hours of tounge-work oh' drab!  This coordination requires standards! standards!  This progressive elimination, it is my favour. It is my personal gob-smackker, a lilith, a lulley, and plainchant, an evensong.  Power is an exercise, I power it up with flinch and wag, tish and dag. Hoop, and hopps belie. The relational capacity to place my will o'er you will. And Pike piked. Not more than a friend, but a special purposive dionysis on yer left shoulder.  Lets review  - neigh, not for the sake of illuminating local art practise, but for further en-vigorating and intoxicating the use of language
