Looking for Kevin at Lovebox 2008
We never did find the illusive Kevin! Never the less Goldfrapp were as amazing as ever Alison has a massive voice, their on stage presence was pretty spot on and the dancing wolf ladies were interesting to say the least. Their new sound didn’t get the crowd jumping quite like their old stuff but there was plenty mixed in.
The Strangelove tent was great in fact we spent most of our time between there and the main stage. The Stanton Warriors were a bit of a let down but the dj sets I’d never heard of were good! Especially Baraka Som Sistema who played a bit of Benga in the mix, well that was it, that very catchy tune kept re-emerging in some incarnation or another including C’s “where are you Kevin” pigeon song.
weird?
i’ve just been going through my links on del.icio.us and found an item I posted last may, here’s the main image:
the picture shows a collage by the well known graffiti artist space invader attached to the side of a random building. i started working at os last november, six months after tagging this image, only to find that the building with the collage is next door to where i work! of all of the space invader collages in the country I happen to tag this one. weird huh?!

hi panda by jiji (I got the evil looking one 
)
we had a gander at the China Design Now exhibition at the V&A over the weekend which proved to be a worth while visit, there’s some interesting work on show. although i have to say i wasn’t really as wowed as i thought i would be i’d still recommend a visit, it could be me being over critical or just a bit ignorant of the chinese design scene. (having said that the last issue of computer arts featured some of what i thought was great chinese work). the exhibition consists of three rooms one graphic design, one fashion and one architecture, personally i was least engaged by the fashion room not really my thing.
when all is said and done it’s a good little exhibition and the building itself is pretty cool too. if you get chance to i would have a coffee in the Madejski garden and sit by the fountain. whatever you do don’t loose your purse on the way home and end up stranded in Clapham!!
