Super desserts new songs now out!

‘Twee as folk’ is the latest offering from this Ohio folk/pop gathering. There are quite a few people in the band, and they play a large selection of instruments including bells, a cello and banjos. You can hear the album in full at Bandcamp, although at the time of writing this post there was a glitch in buying it as the paypal account details for the band must be playing up. I will be buying when this is sorted as I want to support them, I am still amazed that they haven’t been picked up by the media in more of a big way.

Ping pong, beer and live bands!

My flatmate tipped me off on this night a friend of hers just started at the Brunswick in Hove. What a smashing combination! The ping pong was electric and the bands were well decent too. Check out Yokoko and Shock defeat. Both bands impressed me, well worth the £4 entrance fee. To top the night off we had the bride from a wedding party upstairs and other well dressed guests playing round the table while a fantastic DJ played mash ups from all ends of the musical spectrum.

Eccentric fella, Pétanque and a rainbow!

A lovely evening playing Pétanque on the seafront and we met this colourful character who had found some free stuff next to a bin. He was very chatty, and I ended buying the palm tree off him for £1. He found the sherrif’s badge on his hat, the goblet (somehow filled with some booze since crossing the street a guitar and the palm. Apparently he need to catch a bus back to London and was £2 short. I gave him back the palm and told him to try selling it again to make his next £1 he needed!

This was shortly followed by seeing a rainbow over the old pier… I love balmy summer nights in Brighton, especially when you meet strange and wonderful people like Palm tree man!

Seagulls vs Cheesecake

I have mentioned my seagull friends before, well this week I had some disappointing cheesecacke to get rid of. It was a Tesco’s finest one with packaging and descriptive adjectives that would make your mouthwater, but a bit of an anti climax to actually eat. Eventually the ‘eat by date’ passed, and one of my hungry seagull visitors was hanging about being very brave (they usually fly off when I get too near!) so I gave hime the last quater. They looked quite mean whilst eating it, and it took under 10 seconds to go!

David Thorne strikes again with another ridiculous string of emails. This time it’s about somebody who has lost their beloved cat who asked David to knock up a poster to help find it. Click here to see the emails exchange.

Fiest on Sesame street

How appropriate that fiest is helping kids learn to count… one, two, three, four : counting to four! Even James Blunt seems a bit less of a drip singing ‘triangle’ instead of Beautiful also on one of these Sesame street clips.

Sandrine Estrade Boulet

As a kid I can remember seeing animals in clouds and faces in cracked tiles or ripped wallpaper.

This is what Sandrine Estrade Boulet sees in everyday life and translates into simple and effective Photoshop montages.

Street art, but with a little imagination and child like playfulness.
