Ack, haven't scribbled anything blogwise for a while. Not that my brain has had no thoughts on music, but because of real life and so on. Sorry!
I zoomed down to London for an interview, and at Euston was greeted by a Mini Lamb Banana:

Liverpool city centre has been filled with Mini Lamb Bananas, and when I walk around it feels like there's always one in my peripheral vision. So imagine my excitement to find one on the platform at Euston. Look at those teenage girls admiring the other side. It's like a little bit of Capital of Culture dribbled Down South.
Well, it wasn't all that exciting. But cute.
Anyway, on Friday night I went to The Kazimier. It's an old dancehall recently converted to a cool new, DIY venue and one letter away from the name of a Polish king. It was a pagan tudor evening of delight called Karneval, featuring splat the rat, straw and cans of Carlsberg. There was also a brass ensemble playing covers of disco classics like You Got The Love. All of which was officially brilliant, especially as dancing around to live music is approximately 35% more enjoyable than dancing around to records. Here's a pic of the floor in the ladies:

Each toilet door corresponded to the colour. Brilliant, yes? Brilliant!!
There's probably similar nights happening all the time in London, but who could afford to go to them? Not just financially, but who's got the time? There might be less going on in Liverpool than the capital, but it makes you appreciate it more.
