I was lucky enough to be at a wedding at the weekend, where the reception was at the AA in Hooke Park, Dorset - a 330 acre wood where they have a groundbreaking school who make some amazing experimental buildings and structures. This one, which acted as a dancefloor for the evening, is made of plywood. So I loved it instantly.
Directed by Jonathan Glazer, the new video for Treat Me Like Your Mother. I've been a fan of Jonathan Glazer's work for years, but can't help feeling this has kind of missed the mark somehow. Great track though.
The Crown Inn, Roecliffe is a very nice, posh country pub in the middle of nowhere in Yorkshire, the loos are adorned with old pages from old school Playboy magazines. Tastefully done, with Honda logos and the like covering anything which may cause offense, there have been a few attempts to expose the ladies, alas to no avail. In the words of Jake Blues, "This is glue. Strong stuff."
Spotted this chest of drawers, inspired by old letterpress blocks, by Kent and London is hand made and I absolutely want one but, at the thick end of three grand, I may be waiting some time...
UUVVWWZ caught my attention with a track called Green Starred Sleeve - I can't help pulling really stupid faces in time with the guitar. Just seek it out and listen to it, you'll see what I mean. Or you won't see what I mean and just think I'm odd. Oh, and to help with the band name, say what you see - dubble-yoo dubble-vee, dubble-dubble-yoo zee.
