SONG OF THE WEEK #19 / DON'T GET HUNG UP IN YOUR SOUL / HAWLEY




-
It's a dark, sleepy Sunday with rain tumbling down like there's no tomorrow. This song by Richard Hawley seems to fit perfectly.

WILFRID WOOD




-
After hearing the good news that he will be selling another original sculpture through the soon to be relaunched WIWP online shop, I visited Wilfrid Wood's site again today. Always a joy, there are some real gems on view - from the slightly twisted to the purely cool. I recommend taking a stroll through Mr Wood's unique vision.

DAVE KINSEY / INTERVIEW


-
Another nice interview from one of my favourite contemporary artists, really interesting to hear the transition from commercial to gallery art being spoke of candidly from an artist that is so well respected.

JUST WHAT I NEVER WANTED / KK OUTLET CHRISTMAS SHOW


-
Opening on December 3rd at Hoxton Square's KK Outlet is the charity group exhibition "Just What I Never Wanted."

I'm very pleased to be part of a glittering, hand picked list of creatives who have donated gifts they've received over the years (along with the story behind each one) to be auctioned off in aid of the homeless charity Shelter. It should make for a great night, with some amazing and unexpected treasures to snap up.

SONG OF THE WEEK #17 / TEMECULA SUNRISE / DIRTY PROJECTORS


-
The Dirty Projector's second LP "Bitte Orca" goes a long way to capturing the spirit of their live performances, with the amazing syncopated backing vocals from the female members, far more than their debut.
-
I'm a big fan of the album from start to finish. Great cover too, which can be voted for in the Art Vinyl's "Best Art Vinyl" competition in conjunction with Rough Trade and Creative Review here.
