Alabama 3 aren't playing at this, or djing, and weren't ever booked to play it. Don't know why someone put them on the flyer. They're on at The Rhythym Festival in Bedford on Sunday. :)

There's stuff going on at Tate Gardens and Windrush Square too.

The pre-publicity for this has been shockingly bad. They still haven't got their website sorted out.

twas the same last year.. I was hoping that they would really get it organised for thgis year.. was away in Vancouver last year and had to get up at silly o'clock to call people back here .. eventually gave up on it.. the idea was to bring together all different genre's of music.. have the street lined with stalls etc.. then it was hijacked by 2 or 3 local 'wannabe's' and for me it killed the whole idea behind it.. Its meant to be a celebration of Brixton .. not a battle to see who can gain the most points with the council.. Hope it goes well... and if it was anything like last year.. the Albert should be rammed.. ( only because the lord saw fit to release a months rain in one hour.. ..)

and so is Brixton.. miss it a lot.. Boro is a shit hole.. but i knew that.. in the process of trying to persuade Greene King that they need a more structured entertainment policy.. and that i am the guy to run it for them.. so hopefully i will be soon travelling the country looking for DJ's and bands to sign contracts selling their soul to corporate bull shit.. hehe!! Albert seems to be doing well though.. thats good news..
 
my major issue is the flashing of the lights at last orders, instead of calling it like a normal pub.

not the same as me riding the bike in and polluting everyone with the fumes to get rid.. you see these traditional methods are now leaving us.. making way for modern technology such as flashing lights
 
woo hoo - sun's out :)

<remembers last year>

Their site is a joke and there'll be quite a few people seriously miffed that Alabama3 aren't playing.

Still, unlike another London festival this weekend, at least I'm allowed to look at it.

("Oh, hi, you don't run Flash on your computer so you're not cool enough for our website."
"Does the phrase 'prosecuted for accessibility issues under the DDA' mean anything to your webmonkeys yet?")

Here's an easy way to work out the route to the Albert - just type in where you are:

Cheers for that...

We've got to plan an optima route taking in a new brew pub in Herne Hill, and hopefully stopping off at the Doric Arch on the way home. Priorities, like :D

Hehe every one of the suggested routes is completely different! considering that we is on your victoria line, their various workarounds are quite funny. :D

Many different buses, or Victoria from Seven Sisters to Victoria then many different buses, or strange things involving the bakerloo line...

I think we'll get the 45 from kings cross. They don't mention doing that. :D
 
Just taken a walk along Coldharbour Lane. There's an almighty old school DIY sound system set up - it looks well cool.

Inevitably, there's 'nuff cops about too.

Come on down: the weather is scorchio! :D
 
We're just finishing our healthy stir fry breakfasts, and we're on our way.

I'm looking forward to it, I think it's going to be good! I never get to Brixton these days.

Sorry Orang Utan :( Can't you skive for an hour?

I have to stay here even though I have nothing to do
 
Unless the Albert comes up with a king size PA, I reckon we'll be Djing inside because the reggae soundsystem next to the pub is Empire State-tastic.

Can you not phone in a hoax and send yourself home?

If I evacuated my work with a hoax, I'd have to take a cab to Camden and carry on 'working' there. And I'd have to wear a special tabard.

It was really really really loud as well... :D ... I was talking to Dub and PE outside and could hardly hear a word they were saying. Great atmosphere though.
 
We just heard some loud crack crack crack noises that couldd've been gunfire, could've been something else. Whatever the case, There is a massive crowd and swarms of cops milling around red records. Traffic's held up.

Maybe it's Red Records blasting out some Gangsta Rap with shooting in it :D

I hope it is all innocent though

Well traffic is still coming up the Hill
 
There's not enough fuss for it to be guns, I reckon. Nobody seems to be hurt anyway, and there's been no ambulance. Just some boistrousness, I think.
