Where Does It All Go-vember

Saturated Tower

Wow! I have been slack. Not a post since September. Since then I’ve been to Birmingham, saw Attack The Block at the Roxy, went to a Lucie Bennett Private View at the Mernier Gallery, attended the launch of the new Brixton Pound notes and Pay-By-Phone feature at the Brixton Electric, met Tina Mammoser [amongst others] at the Portico Gallery [as part of the Lambeth Open], went to Brighton to see Paul Futuronic DJ at  the Globe with Go Bang, which took us into October.

Not much creative got done those last two weeks of September other than lazily using Weebly to create an updated website which I have yet to make necessary DNS change to so that  it appears as the stevewilde.com pages.

The rest of October saw a visit to Art London at the Royal Hospital Chelsea for copious amounts of free champagne [well something fizzy anyway], then Michael Muller & Sage Vaughn: Opposing Instincts at the Outsiders Gallery, back to Chelsea for the Rolling Stones: The Decca Years exhibit in the Proud Gallery, then another Lazarides event; the excellent Minotaur at the Old Vic Tunnels, the disappointing Cory Arcangel exhibit at the Lisson Gallery, Pipilotti Rist at the Hayward Gallery and The brilliant Jerusalem at the Apollo Theatre. Those last four were all in one day! Then there was lunch in Walton-on-Thames, followed by the Ginger DJ and Porntsar [Rob & Kev] DJ-ing at the Globe in Brighton, The Affordable Art Fairs, both Battersea and Hampstead and suddenly it was November.

Which started with a trip around London on the Ghost Bus, then the Turner Contemporary in grotty Margate, followed by a cancelled firework display in Broadstairs, One Man, Two Guvnors at the Adelphi, Grayson Perry’s Tomb of the Unknown Craftsman at the British Museum followed by a visit to Brixton Market’s excellent new bar, Seven At Brixton [spotting Miranda Sawyer and Michael Smiley at the next table] and after another visit to Walton-on-Thames for a bit of wine tasting, here we are!

Before I tell you about my new online shop I must mention two places in Hampstead Road worth a visit. Mestizo [Mexican Restaurant where we went for their mole festival and Day of the Dead celebrations] and Shaker & Company [cocktail bar].

So, I’m tired of paying Songcast for managing my tunes up at Amazon MP3 and iTunes etc, Imagekind and Blurb necessitate products being overly expensive and Zazzle is just a bit cheap looking. Spreadshirt is pretty cool [possibly pricey] but I haven’t produced much in the way of t-shirts. I decided I would be better off producing these products myself and selling them all through one portal; a Big Cartel store. So this is the first steps towards that. Five tracks available to download at 50p each. Take a look! stevewilde.bigcartel.com. Unfortunately there isn’t a streaming facility to go with the downloads so they will need to be combined with links to Soundcloud, but that’s OK.

My “A Phantom Punch?” video has hit 200 views over on You Tube too.

Been listening to Laura Marling, Feist, My Morning Jacket and Tom Waits new albums to the exclusion of pretty much all else. All Spotify links.
