Nigerian Modernism at Tate Modern exhausting. I should have taken a chair with me. Lovely range of works, but the sloppy positioning of captions often found it difficult to identify works.

Have just had a VERY long bus journey through Bromley, Beckenham and surrounds, and now I understand why Bowie drank, took drugs and lived in Berlin and New York.

Going there next Friday too for Cymande, so expect the same hassle.

Yeah, and stopping people half the time before a ticket check. After which there was barely a queue. When I went there in March, I could kinda live with it cos we were late, but this was bullshit. No communication whatsoever.

Entry to BrixtonAcademy still awful, so missed all but one of Nadine Shah's set. However, Self Esteem was as brilliant as hoped. Joyous stuff.

They’ve been calling a significant section of the public unBritish hatemongers. They’ve been telling everyone who objects to their horrible politics to fuck off, for years. It’s not that mild-mannered is it, and that’s before we get to the Enoch Powell speech.

Is Labour just mild-mannered Faragism?

First time seeing Self Esteem tonight, which i'm very much looking forward to, especially as Nadine Shah is one of the support acts. Tremendous.

Well, from what I understand his family is in tow, and there is that pic of him hanging out with Harry Styles...

I may have drunkenly made a request for Soul and Fire, to which he replied 'yes'.
