SALT
A disclaimer:
I’m not a political rapper in the strictest sense of the word. You won’t find me tackling world issues or attempting to offer solutions to intractable problems in the form of a song. I do listen to some overtly political music and find some of it brilliant, some of it terrible and some of it very average. Like most other music then.
First and foremost this track is an expression...

On Constancy
It’s constant,
Constant breathing, constant being, constant
sleeping, eating, seeking, dreaming, believing, and needing,
constantly speaking, time constantly creeping, life constantly constant,
change constantly, constant,
for all its constancy, there’s a want, a need,
for a second of stopping the seconds ticking
a want a need to press pause before someone presses stop,
and constancy is...

StaffParty - Douche
A track I made… and kept going back and messing with. It existed in a few different forms. At one point it was a lot busier, more messy and confusing. I’m happy with this, it’s final form and I’m happy to have it mastered and shared. It’s short and is accompanied by a picture of Laura looking out the window in Spain.

Reading Matter: Iain Sinclair - Ghost Milk
The journey from dealer in obscure books to cult writer and chronicler of London’s esoteric underbelly to an almost mainstream go-to guy for any hack wanting a slightly off centre take on a current or past London event for a Sunday supplement piece is one of the many journeys that Iain Sinclair has taken over the years.
The great thing about this journey is that he hasn’t changed one bit, he...

Reading Matter: Clarence Rook - The Hooligan...
Hooligan Nights is a once lost, but now very much found in certain circles, London classic. A sometimes uneasy mixture of early social reportage, sensationalist journalism and pure fiction, Clarence Rook’s exceptional book follows the fortunes of one Alf Hooligan and details his life of petty crime, abject poverty and casual violence.
It was published in 1899, and set in South London, mainly in...

Adventures In The Big Society Part 1
As part of my rehabilitation from a life of chronic laziness and chronic chronic I’ve recently started getting myself involved in the Big Society.
In April I took part in a volunteer program at the LAARC, which is the Museum Of London’s archaeological archive. It’s located just off City Road and is one of London’s hidden gems. Every single archaeological find from registered digs within the M25...

Oyster
The sound of Ted’s phone alarm broke through the fragile wall of sleep brought on by last night’s misguided trip to the local boozer. Ted could still taste the shots of Sambuca that ended what was supposed to be a quiet night with a few friends, the football and a couple of pints of Guiness. Ted cursed his bad judgement as he blindly pawed at his phone hoping to make the noise go away....
