Art or Fart? 2 and 3

What do you think of these paintings from The Tate Modern in London?

This is bullshit, if this art so are my living room curtains!


...and what about?



I'd have this on my my wall.  I don't think it's too bad.

Can't believe a week has passed since I arrived at EOTR. This time last week I was probably experiencing the thrills of  Californian heavy blues duo  Deap Vally  (think I previously mis-spelt their name - apologies go out to DV). They warned the audience it was going to be loud (unusual) and it was.  The warm-up night audience generously lapped it up and unlike Dinosaur Jr who were similarly loud/heavy on the final night (more later) there wasn't a melody in sight.  That's no good for me in 2013.  In truth it never has been. As I said last week there 5 bands on the night all from the Communion record label/promotions roster including soon to be Boro faves Catfish and the Bottlemen .  The singer, Van McCann (I'm not buying that's real) is a genuine hoot and a half as well so Teesside people join me at The Westgarth on 8 October.     Overall I counted up that I saw 50 bands/artists over the 4 days and much of it very good or better ...

Virgin are really fucking me about, making it very difficult for me to post. I keep getting a message to activate my account. Wouldn't normally bother me but they keep asking me to select a password and when I choose my e-mail address (the same one I've had for about 8 years) it says I can't have it as somebody else has it! Given that I've only stayed with them all these years to keep my e-mail address I'm not going any further until I speak to somebody. My tenant goes in to my house tomorrow so I'll be a landlord so there'll be no more slagging off capitalists in this house. Kirkstone Road continues to be sublime. Got a Chinese takeaway from the new Beijing Dragon at Norfolk shops. It was awesome and it goes straight in at number one (according to my discerning pallet anyway) with a bullet. Happy days!

An Epiphany

Hello All, Some of you might have noticed I haven't posted much recently.   I've lapsed a number of times over the years (usually down to bone idleness or personal crisees) but this time I actually made the conscious decision but for posting the occasional photograph to go into semi-retirement.  So don't call me a lazy bastard this time ok? I'd never heard the word epiphany ( don't feel ashamed if you had to look it up, I wasn't quite sure either ) used in every day speak until about 6 weeks ago when our Russ used it but I suppose I've had one today.  It hasn't been particularly fun-packed.  In fact, after a great walk this morning (9 1/2 miles - Billingham Park Circular 9 1/2 miles) and Boro getting beat 2-0 by Leeds I've done bugger all.  Apart from....................... 1.  Started getting a bit down.  I've' got a tough couple of weeks ahead of me.  It will be the 4th anniversary of my father's death on...
