Pen & Ink

More strange connections today: this piece is by a friend of my physics teacher. He's currently got an exhibition going on at the Institute of Physics, and hot damn, these things are amazing. Purely pen and ink, nothing more.

About time I read some Hemingway, too.

"But where's the drop?"

To use a phrase that was bandied around a lot on the night, CHILL AS FUCK. Also, BETA AS FUCK. Yes, Balam Acab remarkably managed to be pretty chill even when playing live. I have to hand it to him, he managed to make it a pretty engaging live performance with PHAT BEATS, but still staying pretty, well, chill.



Live vocals were a bit unexpected too, but worked surprisingly well. I hadn't actually realised that there actual words to listen to, but hey, they sounded pretty damn good. Also, live mixes make for pretty fun interludes where no one is sure whether or not to clap.



Being totally honest, the evening would have been improved if slightly intoxicated. But whatever, look at the fucking moon, man.
