This Is A Random Feature

Orange Grill - A Random FeatureAs the sun looked like it was going to hold out for the weekend we headed for a pub garden today. Namely the newly revamped Devonshire in Balham.

Maintaining its classic Victorian look the place is vast! With a bar up front, restaurant tables at the rear and a classy garden, even better than last Saturday's at the Dolphin. They do a mean sausage and mash as well. Muffs Of Bromborough sausages actually. We'll be popping back here a bit I reckon.

I've started a new group, over at flickr, called Random Features. This is my "Orange Grill" effort. Check out the link below and contact me if you think you might have something to add.


I stumbled across Richard Skelton's The Landings blog somewhere, possibly at Sven's Weblog. There's an interview with Richard over at Foxy Digitalis that will give you some idea of where he is coming from. His work, audio and visual, has a sense of space, place and memory. Musical Psychogeography I suppose. Richard's works are released, under various guises, through his "private press" Sustain-Release. In very limited editions.

A while back I downloaded the component parts of Nude by Radiohead to remix, but never found the time to start it. James Houston has gone one better in my opinion. Pop over to the rather excellent Vimeo to see the video of his Big Ideas [Don't Get Any] track played on old computer hardware including a printer and a scanner. It takes a bit of patience to get to the parts recognisable as Nude but it's worth the effort. Brilliant stuff.
