St Pancras turns platforms into a stage

The Guillemots on stage at St Pancras in support of the Prince's Trust Music

The Guillemots are amongst the line-up at St Pancras and I'm not talking about the queue to get on the Eurostar. It's just the latest pop-up venue for artists to showcase their music. I think it works and I love how us hectic Londoners will not only get live performances where we least expect them but also get to grips with all the amazing new artists out there that we just don't have time to my-space. Genius

I am impressed with......

how some people use the internet. You-tube inspired film Life in a Day is filmed by 340 amateurs (there were 80,000 entries) on one single day ( 24th July) as part of an innovative documentary about life on planet earth...
Here is the trailer. Inspiring

Une belle grosse bouse-

Voices in Tandem

Voices in tandem
usually apart
Drawing closer
with each vocal breath
A change in tone
is all that can save us
and dissipate anger
resentment and death

A lull of pure silence
a purr of clean relief
As voices in tandem
take up their distinct beat
veering into each other
then stopping to go back
and holding their lover.
