Not following the example of The Magnificent Microplex, Tate Britain is getting even BIGGER. I ask you.

I’m still posting after all this time

Sparror going down for a bit there knocked me off my stride, that plus busy-ness including preparations for Rotterdam

Anyway, that should generate more content not less. One of the things the film festival people picked up on was Fast Food joints, so here’s places you can buy food fast within comfortable walking distance from The Cube . . .

only [insert figure] steps from THIS cinema !

In other late news, I enjoyed seeing The Rebel . . .

. . . on the big screen for the Peer Critique launch, and

Meanwhile meetings continue, like this Venn one below . . .

venn exposed

and the Monday “merchandise” meeting.

Tee on.

Orchestra Cube at The Cube

Posted on January 25, 2005 by site admin mr_hopkinson

So Orchestra Cube had it’s first performance in front of an audience on Saturday . . . the conductor, Peter Reynolds, assured us at the previous ( and only third ever ) practice that success was certain, and it certainly felt like a success.

When you get to Heaven the Strawberry Ice Cream will be Situated on The Left and You will Never Tire of it

With 48 or so legs they should go far.

Desperately Seeking the right Jim White, Searching for The Wrong Eyed Jesus.

Posted on January 24, 2005 by ladylucy

OK, so there are two Jim Whites. One plays in The awsome Dirty Three and can be seen here. . Jim White once came to The Cube with The Boxhead Ensemble, and to the after show party we held for them here at The Cube. see Hogges low fi html docu here
Anyhow the other Jim White… who’s album I have THe Wrong Eyed Jesus, who to be perfectly honnest who’s music I am not that bothered about at all, well this Jim White seems to have made a film. Searching For The Wrong Eyed Jesus … It would have been perfect for DoZy.. if DoZy still existed, and even tho I am not bothered about The Wrong Eyed Jim White… I am bothered about The film. Lets show it…

Orchestras, Battleships and Jars

Posted on January 22, 2005 by site admin mr_hopkinson

Bit late on the post, but this is all about Wednesday . . .

First off my second experience of The Cube Orchestra and my first in it . . .

several sections

I was playing decks, initially going to be placed with the drums in the percussion section, but then Jesse decided to move me backwards towards the keyboards, i.e. the-standing-up-and-needing-a-table section.

It was much fun, but I’m no qbert yet.

More Cube Orchestra news soon I suspect, as it has it’s debut in front of an audience as part of A Windy Night At The Cube this Saturday. I shall be bringing records that feature winds.

After that on the same stage I saw Battleship Potemkin. I thought it was just a screening and rescore ( nicely done by Fred Maintenant ) but there was also a talk by Chris Harman . . .

where'd that horse come from ! ?

. . . of http://www.socialistreview.org.uk and some, some heated, debate. Well I say debate, the heated bit seemed more like someone who had made up their mind where they stood on Trotsky ( a different standpoint to the speaker ) and they weren’t going to stand down, much to the exasperation of most of the audience.

Anyway, shamefacedly, political history isn’t exactly my strongest suit, but I do know I like a bit on montage.

Lastly, this Wednesday was also the day my broken camera came back – I’ve been using another, not as broken, one in the meanwhile. It took 4 months from when I handed it over the counter to them until they handed it back over the counter to me again, but the repair sheet said the actual work only took 25 minutes. Make of that what you will . . . all I know is I can now see what I’m doing and so here’s a bit of macro photography of Lindsay Wright’s exhibition that is currently in the Cube bar and lounge . . .

What jam jar would Jesus drive ?
