As can be seen from the note at the top of this blog and the general lack of updates, time is in short supply. Partly as a result and partly because I like to get information out, this isn’t the only site whose design is taking place in public. Just try everydayapocalyptic.org for evidence.
Other than that, blackalicious are foremost in my mind right now. I was more than a little surprised to see in the university newspaper that they were appearing in Reading. It’s rare that Reading gets a musical treat like that (other than at delicatessen of course) and that’s rather compounded by the lack of publicity. Despite that the venue was packed out. Pretty lousy sound (far too loud, far too muddy) was redeemed by buckets of charisma and some rather tasty tunes and beats. Sadly, this was the last date of the tour. Hopefully, they will be back. DJ Shadow and Blackalicious, both within a month. That’s quite a delight.
