today was humid and i got to wear a just tshirt (and obviously legally required below waist garments) to town which hasnt happened for a fair few months!
today ive been listening, yet again too jamie t's new single almost on repeat. ahhh, how i love youth.
theres an unstoppable charm to this fella
im really excited for his second album! i actually believe it has the rare oppertunity to nearly match the brilliance of the debut album.
personally i think panic prevention is the best album of our geenrationish so far. its beautifully honest, manically rebellious and has such a depth and such a raw energy that i dont feel has been captured by many other people in the last ten years.
definately my favourite album!
if youve never given it a listen i definately reccomend it! although the original moment captured by the album upon its release and the time it caught and propelled forward have possibly moved on i still count every song as an undying classic.
today i went to jibbering art on floodgate street in digbeth, birmingham. i went with my good friend sinead. its a really cool space with two floors, currently being used as exhibition space but the decks above the stairs in the left hand corner suggest they throw some mean parties too.
the current exhibiton was a hectic fusion of street and gallery art. the conjunction of these two usual opposites added to the freshness and the intruige of the pieces. it seemed to feature work from local and non local artists, mostly aerosol and acrylic pieces.
my favourite were the franics bacon-esque almost spaceman portraits, by french artist/rapper/actor/editor JAYBO.
seriously! look at these beauties, its like bacon stabbing picasso in the face with a firework, i bloody love it!
they were really wack. id really like to try out some aerosol one day! stencils!
id definately reccomend checking it out, even if it was just for the soun installation piece. theres something very unnerving about walking up a stairwell surrounded by hanging spraycans each containing a small speaker and shooting out a spraying noise. watch you back kids.
heres the website, http://www.jibberingart.co.uk/ , and thats the line steppers exhibiton, but its only on till the end of may, so snatch up tthe oppertunity and bowl down to eastside for some sun and wiggy wasp art.
