They're new "pop brixton" pitches, reserved for uber vibrant chai tea & eclectic cheese vendors.

Something good happening at Pop Brixton: a much needed skateshop run by local skaters. A very nice bunch of people.
They've got an event going on next Saturday too

Pretty sure that's been ruled out.

1. I'm pretty sure the original materials were melted down for use in weapons of mass destruction in the Greenham Common era.
2. I am sure the council would be open to sponsorship offers from wealthy local entrepreneurs who have benefited from the community for such a worthy project. Step forward Jerrard M Knight?

Was that reply supposed to be serious suggestions for the older dyke? hmm.
Effra Social have asked me for ID early one friday evening, they did let me in without it but I don't generally bother trying there at weekends because of that. I can't imagine Elvis and Bowie's music going together either.
How was the Caipirinha Bar?
No competition to RVT - it was better ever, loads of women and wotevers. great fun.

The RVT is a great bar - I've played there a couple of times and had some fantastic nights. The Elvis vs Bowie things was good fun, as it happens.

David Bowie mural in Tunstall Road becomes Bowie shrine, besieged by TV cameras.

Has that been there long? I've never noticed it. I may have the observational skills of Mr Magoo....

certainly when it comes to Urban. There was a big hoo hah last year when some ad agency tried painting over it Brixton’s iconic Bowie mural plastered over with corporate advertising

Bloody hell. I think tonight's Bowie tribute at the Albert is going to be busy.
Both the Standard and the Mirror have now featured it.

I went past about 1pm and there was a crowd down there, mostly cameramen and media. You couldn't see the mural for cameras they had it completely surrounded.
I wonder was it just coincidence that the adjacent Morley's windows had large ads for Iman cosmetics, very appropriate.

I wonder if there are similar displays of public grief in Bromley, where he actually lived, and whether the news crews have made it there....? I suspect not....

Don't monkey with the buzzsaw
That's right outside my office door. I shall have to go out with a big brush tomorrow...

At least the attention will stop people pissing there for the next couple of days. I'd be careful picking up any of those flowers...

Just got back from DJing there. Had to bail early due to work, but it was an amazing night. Packed from the start, with queues round the block trying to get in even when I left an hour ago. Lovely crowd, lovely vibe. Proper life affirming
