Save Ginglik!

nobody@vox.com(Indieboy) — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 12:58:06 +0300

Hello,

Any of you who are familiar with London music venues, or having a good night out in West London will be familiar with the venue Ginglik.

Formally an underground gents toilet, the local government seems to have other plans for the site.

For all you Facebookers out there who are interested in saving this important venue there is this group you can join:

http://www.new.facebook.com/profile.php?id=532554330#/group.php?gid=35587928336

It gvies you email addresses to send messages of support and such, plus a couple of events to save the venue.

I wrote to the coucil folk stated in the group and put my best grown up voice on. Don't send some ranty message, just something stating why you think it's important for the venue to stay:

Hello council folk,

Apologies if these messages are becoming a pain, however I thought it would be important to highlight the importance of the Ginglik venue from both a music industry and local community perspective.

Working as a talent scout for a major label gets me to pretty much every venue in London. The Ginglik's accessibility to both emerging acts and promoters makes this an invaluable resource of new music to the local population and music industry. Also, it's placing means that many people from areas such as Ealing, Acton and Shepherds Bush have easy access to a solid grass-roots multicultural music venue. I do not no of one A&R person or artist who does not know the venue well. I also have many friends and colleagues who live in the surrounding area who are very concerned that the venue is under threat.

To remove this as a venue would further fence off live music to the areas of central, north and east London, remove yet another accessible venue for new and out of town acts and also remove a valuable asset that forms part of the area's cultural image. In the years I have lived in London I have seen local governments efforts to tidy up Shepherds Bush green and surrounding areas which have been noticed. However removing this important cultural centrepiece of Shepherds Bush Green would have a detrimental effect to both the area's image and micro economy.

kind regards

So be sure to join the group and let's see if we can save the venue! :-)

Hope all is well with you.

Catching Up n That

nobody@vox.com(Indieboy) — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 12:13:20 +0300

Hello,

Apologies that I haven't been around for a while. I've been swamped in sorting out my new place and worrying about Visa's n such. All quite complicated but I think it's all heading in the right direction now.

I finally moved the rest of my stuff into the new place. Which is a huge load off my mind, and my brother's van. He volunteered to help me move again. Which I think is increadable after the last move. All involved, including bystanders, were left emotionally scarred by that experience.

The highlights of the move involved getting a punchbag set up and getting a sofa onto a roof, up a fire escape and having to take a door (and part of the frame) off. Luckily my brother is a joiner so he made a very quick job of it. Although my brother's first words on seeing what needed to be done was "I hate you" in his most deadpan voice, he still went through with it and carried shteloads. He explained afterwards that he's saving all these favours up for later on in life to ask one huge favour. I dread what it's going to be.

I'm now in the process of gradually whittling down my stuff as I have tonnes. But the room is useable, just.

Music highlights of the past couple of weeks included seeing the Cold War Kids. I've never had much interest in seeing them live but my girlfriend is a big fan and bribed a bouncer to get us in which I was well impressed with. I've also just found out that I'm heading to the Connect Festival which I'm really looking forward to. Mainly because Amplifico and Sparrow and the Workshop are playing. Both of whome are amazing.

Spent last night watching Richard Prior do standup with gf and friend who is visiting from the states. I'm quickly becoming a fan.

Anyhoo, apologies for the non-correspondence. If you've sent an email and had no response I am trying to get through them all. I have 500+ messages still to get through with more landing each day. Please don't send the "Hey, check me out messages" as that's what the A&R group is for. All it does is fill my messagebox.

Anyhow, I hope all is well with you and I will continue with regular posts again. Let me know what you're up to.

PRO-PLUS

nobody@vox.com(MARSHALL STAR) — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 10:56:39 +0300

what I like about Pro-Life is the name, they've hijacked something good for something evil, a bit like Hitler's slogans, It's so nice and innocent it could be a little helpful product like Tampons, or a pick-you-up-pill... these nutters, these zealots who wish to strip women of their choices over their own bodies would have all woman in a Republican rally tent somewhere in Indiana, locked up with chastity belts, then if a bit of sperm happens to sliver under the door up their thingy (I'm making this sound even more disgusting than it is), then they'll be held in solitary until the baby can be sucked out under force... whether there's life at conception or not, it is still the personal jurisdiction of women to make up their own minds, that's about all we have left as BB gradually fills up ever part of our lives... I certainly won't be told by some coiffured old bag in Connecticut whether I can have an abortion or not (I may be exaggerating here since I live in East-Sussex, but you get the point!) ... so 'Pro-Life', your'e not Pro-Life', your'e anti life, , so **** John McCain and his bunch of ultra conservative Pro-War, anti-life bigots, leave our language alone..

I watched a bit of Madonna's Lovely Lady Tour last night (actually I don't know what it was called, but it was on one of those channel thingy's whilst I was 'flipping'), you gotta give it to her, she really 'goes', the outfits the dancing and production we're unbelievable good... she's got no soul , but that was never her thing was it?... I can barely dance for more than about 30 seconds without feeling faint and throwing up - go Madonna!

BLACK IS BLACK - I WANT BEYONCE BLACK

nobody@vox.com(MARSHALL STAR) — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 11:13:01 +0300

Beyonce460

Spot the difference... I was just reading the story about Beyonce and her lovely skin shocker,,, well you know she can do anything with her skin , its a free world, Michael J's done it... not exactly hugely important news is it? but you do wonder what they are thinking of, using a black girl to sell white make-up and hair stuff... is there the presumption that black want to all look like whites, or the other way round... the whiteifying of soul music in this country is making my ******' puke, you can stick Adele and ******' Duffy up yer arse as far as I'm concerned, why listen to that puerile crap when you can listen to the real thing... as for Beyonce, ofcourse its always just about money, but she's hardly doing much for African Americans on the day when I hear that soon white Americans will be overtaken in populus by ethnic Americans.. L'Oreal are having a ******' joke aren't they ? If white's went round trying to look like blacks in adverts people would be peeing there pants with laughter, so why does it work the other way round - do these people know how ridiculous they are making themselves look for another few million quid in their bank accounts?, if they we're going straight out to Africa to give it to Aids orphans there might be some point, but from where I'm standing there's no point in Beyonce and the plastic turd she seems to be wearing on her head in this advert..
