Tonight we (me, M****, Gav, Fluffy Phil, Tom and Leanne (sp.?!)) went to see this freaky harpist, Joanna Newsom. She was playing at the, er, Brudenell Social Club, I think it was. Something like that. This first picture was taken at 20:14 . . .  this was one of the support bands. I think they were called 'My Latest Novel'. I thought they were pretty good. They kept using strange, miscellaneous instruments for like 17 seconds or whatever, and then moving on. I like that. That picture on the right there . . . there were lots of mirrors around, see. That's M**** in the right of the picture, and perhaps a few other times in the mirrors.

yeah, yeah, yeah. So then there's another picture of 'My Latest Novel' and the rest seem to be this band called 'Scatter'. As some one else pointed out, it was hard to know when the tuning session ended and the music began. It was kind of funny, but it never really seemed to get going. But, hey, what would I know?
 I took a few pictures of Joanna Newsom, but she was always hidden behind the harp. She was good though, her music. Reminded me of Leonard Cohen and perhaps Kate Bush as well, for some reason. Comparisons to Bjork seemed crass. There was one song where one of the lines was '. . . and though our bodies recoil at the grip of the soil,' or something like that. Nice.
