2 φεγγαρια

Και ομως καταλαβες ποιος ειναι ο φιλος του Corto Maltese που δεν θελει ποτε να μεγαλωσει και μενει ακομα στο Kensington Gardens...

You just blew my mind away that day..

I never forgot about it.

Event # 2

BLOC PARTY rounded off their year last night by playing a special gig at KOKO in Camden Town . KOKO is probably the best venue i have ever been to see a band play live. An old Victorian theatre renovated to modern standards. The band blew me away. Slick, relaxed and refreshingly different they covered their excellent Silent Alarm debut album with their New Order-like strings and base.

Event # 1

Friday the 16th of December. 10 days before Xmas. It’s hard to concentrate at work.
I plan to leave early tonight. I am meeting Mia outside the Robin’s nest café at 6. Promptly.

‘Don’t be late again please’ she says.
‘I won’t’ I say back. ‘Mia there is something else.’
‘What?’
‘Wear your trainers…’

I am excited about 2night. I put on my gloves and hat, check that I have the tickets and I go rushing down the stairs. It sure smells like winter, it’s all around me but it’s quite hard to describe.

I arrive at 6.10 but she just smiles. We have time for a drink. The café is packed but we manage to squeeze in.

‘So why do you like them so much?’
‘I don’t know, its no big story or anything.. It’s just that when I first heard their music I really connected with it. One particular verse has stuck with me ever since.’

When I counted up my demons
Saw there was one for every day
With the good ones on my shoulders
I drove the other ones away

*Coldplay play Earl’s Court tonight on their last show of the year.

The band just arrived on stage.Big yellow ballons fill the arena when the Yellow anthem is played.

Ακους? Που και που να μου στελνεις και καμια καρτα..
