The Morning After

After that ridiculously long entry yesterday, I thought I should add a photo. Nothing remarkable, just a building I pass on my way to school. I love the flowers in the window box. It's nice to see such efforts in this big city.

So where did I leave you? Ah yes, my night in Soho. I hopped on the underground to Piccadilly Circus. It was a bit crazy over there. Much like Vegas or Times Square -- very touristy. I made my way to the club, a place called Madame JoJo's.

The spot was a former strip club that they had turned into a music venue. It had tons of red velvet and gold paint -- quite eccentric. Much like an over-the-top mix between 7th St. Entry and the Varsity. The music was pretty good, I believe the band was called Slow Club. But the people watching was phenomenal. Let me just say that I am 100% certain that the guys here wear way more hair product than the ladies. They all looked like fierce little Christian. They were all in skinny, skinny jeans and they had this huge hair. It reminded me of bobble heads.

Anyway, the club scene was really fun, and after the band played it turned into a dance night, which was fun as well. Sadly, I head to leave just before midnight as the trains stop running shortly after.

Today I am back in class working on my project. I decided to go with the Rilo Kiley album The Execution of All Things. I like the carnival sound to that album, and I think that will provide some fun imagery.

Here are the bands the rest of the class chose, quite a variety!
• Sigur Ros
• Dolly Parton
• Nouvelle Vague (cool stuff)
• Blondie
• Joanna Newsom
• James Bone (a local artist -- working from a demo, no cd out)
• Sonic Youth

I'll blog more tonight. Maybe more photos. Cheers!
