Stendhal Syndrome

’Stendhal Syndrome is a psychosomatic illness that causes rapid heartbeat, dizziness, fainting, confusion and even hallucinations when an individual is exposed to art, usually when the art is particularly beautiful or a large amount of art is in a single place.’

FOTC

Last night I went to see Flight Of The Conchords at Wembley Arena. I took a couple of photos on my rubbish camera phone. It makes it look like we were much further away than we actually were.
It was an excellent night with many moments of tear-inducing laughter, one highlight being the new madrigal-style song ‘To Woo A Lady’ (the actual performance I saw on Youtube here).
Below is shot of the (very full) arena.

Talking City

I’m being interviewed via email by Anna Francis as part of her guest editorship of the Longhouse website. Check it out here. The Q and A session is updated each time I answer, so check back regularly to see how I get on.
Anna’s project is an Ezine titled Talking City: ‘a space for artists to enter into dialogues with the places they live and work, creating space for discussion around practice and life in the city.’ There are lots of ways to get involved: take a look.

Uninvited Guest

YouTube video which allegedly shows a woman living in the crawl-space of a New York apartment. I don’t know if this is real or not - lots of YouTubers are screaming fake. It’s pretty creepy though.
