Video Find: Parklife
I've been obsessing over the live recordings of Blur from this year's Glastonbury Festival and their show from Hyde Park. Mainly what I've really enjoyed is after all these years, the amount of energy they brought. Secondly, its truly amazing to see an adult Phil Daniels on the stage giving it his all like Jimmy Cooper on the stage for Parklife. This video was from the BBC in 1994. If you get a chance to check out a video of Hyde Park or Glastonbury, do yourself a favor. Glastonbury was filmed professionally by the BBC and is floating around the net. In the meantime, you can grab this audio recording from Hyde Park on the 3rd of July 2009.
Blur to Reunite (Official)
Blur have confirmed they will play a massive gig at London's Hyde Park on July 3. Graham Coxon, talking about what he thinks the band's first shows together will be like, said: "Part of me thinks it's like riding a bike, and it'll just take us getting the volume turned up and then we'll be away, and that will be enough. But another part of me is very cautious. So I'm not gonna bother writing a script!"
Watch the band explain why they reformed in this video.

There's something about these photos that I really love. I love the anger in the first, and I love the ambiguity of the latter. I like that in both cases, both the creator and the photographer are making a statement which I find when you get older, you tend to make less.

Amazing that the bus is not in the frame at all. The trails of light are absolutely perfect. Amazing composition in this one.
Down The Rabbit Hole

A performance like no other, Down The Rabbit Hole merges installation, site-specific performance, live music and puppetry into a true journey through the senses, covering sound, light, visuals and movement that merits the Alice In Wonderland allusions. Set in the huge Victorian warehouse at Oxo Tower Wharf, the two-hour show leads the audience through a maze-like warren of corridors and spaces, as artists and musicians collaborate, with surprises around every corner.
I found this photo and I found myself staring as to what it was, and still to no conclusion, I am amazed by its colours.

I just love the feeling in this picture. Like my fascination with old New York, I share the same for London in this period.
