Friday Random Ten (or More)

It goes like this:

(a) fire up your MP3 player,
(b) put your entire collection on random play, and
(c) list the first ten songs that play.
(No matter how embarrassing they may be. This is everyone’s chance to find out what you’re really listening on on your iPod, etc.)

Last night, I did the above on iTunes, except it wasn't my whole collection. I left out the classical stuff (about 1000 tracks). There was still 2906 songs to choose from. I also extended the selection to 30, for the first time.

So, I show you mine:

Faded - Ben Harper
Everybody is Free (to feel good) - Rozalla
Pop Muzik - Tricky
Time of My Life - Bill Medley & Jennifer Warnes
Older Chests - Damien Rice
Sincere (Vocal Mix) - MJ Cole
The Score - Fugees
Jesus Loves Me - Whitney Houston
Back to Life - Soul II Soul
Wishful Thinking - 4hero

Because - I am Kloot
Yeke Yeke - (Mogo Djolo Ambush Vocal Mix) - Mory Kante
Dubplate - DJ Qtee and Rodney P
Cry Me A River - Justin Timberlake
Not Enough Romance - Tina Turner
Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy - Queen
I Be The Prophet (feat. Martine Topley Bird) - Tricky

Hungry - Kosheen

A Short History of the Elephant and Castle and Its Name

Last night I attended a lecture by local historian Stephen Humphrey who discussed the general history of the Elephant & Castle, focussing more particularly on what he called its heyday (between 1850 and 1940). This is part of a week-long art project ( The Elephant Project ) hosted in an empty unit on the first floor of the infamous shopping centre, aiming to chart some of the changes currently happening to the area. When an historian starts talking about the Elephant and Castle, there is one subject he can not possibly avoid, even if he wanted to. Indeed my unsuspecting announcement on Facebook that I was attending such talk prompted a few people to ask the dreaded question: Where does the name of the area come from, for realz? Panoramic view of the Elephant and Castle around 1960/61. Those of us less badly informed than the rest have long discarded the theory that the name comes from the linguistic deformation of "Infanta de Castille", a name which would have become at...

Welcome to Towleroad Readers

On Wednesday, Towleroad , the top gay blog, who win all the awards, were kind enough to link to and quote from my post on Football and Homophobia . This has generated quite a bit a traffic in this otherwise desolate region of the blogosphere. So much so that Wednesday was my highest day ever with 132 hits (previous one was 97), this week is already my highest ever with 317 hits so far (previous one was 287) and this month is the highest month ever with already 865 hits (previous one, last month, was 739, thanks to the posts on the Danish cartoons). So thank you again to Towleroad and welcome to their readers. I hope they like what they see and will be back from time to time.

As Grace

Another picture reconstruction. This time the victim is Grace Jones and her picture by Jean Paul Goude (explained here ) which was used for the cover of her 1985 compilation album, Island Life . Unlike Ms Jones, though, this is all me posing. No reconstruction other than adding the original background and props in Photoshop. See the making-of picture of my version here . Below is another, more elaborate reconstruction of the pic done with the help of photographers Jasmin Teer (photography) and Dan Bosworth (Photoshop) in July 2009. This pic was "The Awesome" in The Goude, The Bad and The Awesome (March 2010).
