LoveGods Primer
September 10, 2005

Went to W'sens for cocktails last night - Sam had "The Randy" [Courvoisier, Warres Port, Grand Marnier and vanilla liqueur!] and I had a "Blimey" [which is as good a name for anything! This happened to be a Lime vodka, cassis and blackberry concoction that tasted almost healthy!], very nice place - if slightly up it's own arse.

Went on to the cinema in the Trocadero [£17.40 for two of us!!! Even the cocktails weren't that much] to see Shane Carruth's, 2004 Sundance Award winning, Primer - described somewhere as making Memento look like a some kids film or other it has to be seen to be believed... And then you won't believe it... But somehow it all seems feasible! I'll be getting it on DVD, when it comes out, to clear up a few things - Probably over several viewings, but well worth the time spent [pun intended!]. - So we went to for a drink, while it all sunk in, to decide if we needed food, music or a train home.

Decided on music and headed to the Borderline for The LoveGods - managed to miss both support acts but the LG's promise of 1 hour of music [for a change] was almost true to their word, as it included a carefully scripted encore. A few new [to us] tunes didn't disappoint either and with a new album due next month the future looks bright for them. Well, I hope so. It's going to take a few more people to see it than me and the other 100 [if I'm generous] in the Borderline.. I've previously described them as a "punky" Fleetwood Mac but there is a funky element creeping into their bluesy rock now and they are far too accomplished musicians to pigeonhole anyway - Deah and Art are a Gap Ad waiting to happen, which wouldn't do them any harm. I wish they would change that logo though.

Walked back through St James' Park to cool down and made it back to Herne Hill and last Orders in the Escape... if only I had known that the previous night it had been the venue for the Mancini Gallery launch... Amongst the DJs for which was Iain Baker, Jesus Jones keyboard bloke and XFM DJ, who I once worked with at Music and Video Exchange and who put up with all my stupid questions when trying to get my head around my first attempts at sampling, with an AKAI S950, Nice bloke, wish I'd known about this before and gone and said hello now.
