sexy sexy disco...



I'm very excited for my society, the altsoc. I've managed to nick premises for a night from another promoter(29th jan). I should be feeling the pressure, but with the ideas I have at the moment, that's quite hard. The night is called sexydisco: and to back that up im dressing the place up like it was meeting its grandmother. I'm thinking glittery balloons and vanilla scent. The music will not be bullshit, which nearly every club in brum finds hard to guarantee.

The picture above is a Smiths album cover: the man on it featured in Flesh, the Andy Warhol film that I will be projecting on one of the walls at the party. Another projector will be on the other side of the room, showing Eat and Kiss, two other Warhol fantasies. Add to that some gentle strobe lighting and it will kinda resemble the light shows of 66'.

I need to find two bands though, I know a few - but I've been leaning toward booking a singer instead... I think the setting could really propel a soulful performance. If theres any worry, it's that the society won't embrace it enough - which is why I'm inviting art students from a neighboring university who would really appreciate the ideas.

Anyways, I'll keep this post updated, and start getting pictures up of the setup.

The guy is good, damn good. Check out 'Lagos Calling', an interesting take on African skinhead fashion. It's a good study, and being African its nice to see something so authentic. And it seems the whole world is going Thom Browne with the short trouser/jean. Which I like!

Eeeemanuel!!!!


One of our only players in which the snideness of Martin Keown lives on, Emmanuel Eboue showed Diaby how to really take out the cunt that is John Terry... He deserved it for calling Ledley King a "lippy black monkey" last year at WHL.

I'm happy Capello is manager, he can take out the cunts in a more legal fashion. Rio should be new captain, don't know why he's overlooked - he guards for our countries best team, Utd. Plus, it would avoid the conflict/debate that would happen should Gerrard got it. His team should be

James,

Micah, Rio, Terry Cashley,

Young, Gerrard, Barry, Cole

Agbonlahor/Defoe Rooney

Is The Application Form A Test Aswell?!

You get to the second year, you feel important: your about to go work for one of these fat cat businesses for a year, you register on their websites and start doing their forms and ten minutes later you close the window and tell yourself you'll finish it later. After a couple of weeks doing this I realise they are all the same, that is, long winded and a waste of time. So I've picked a new method; a CV with a bloody good covering letter backed up with constant nagging of my own - telephone based. I know a recruitment consultant, and she said the big four and other top consultancy firms don't even pay attention to their internet bank of applicants, instead filtering future interviewees through on the criterion of quantitative assets. That's bullshit, and I'm glad I've chosen to get round it instead of underneath.

This could be fun!!

Yeah, a public diary(how liberating!)! Let's hope lazyness doesn't beat this bit of fun up... if anyone is reading please bear with me while i get this on wheels.
