‘You’re doing what?’ said my friend incredulously as if I were off for a week of Georgian Nose Whistling. It was horn-playing, Vienna-horn playing, Vienna horn playing in the wilds of Scotland. Along as the photographer, my eardrums were girded, my inner vegetarian locked up.

As I worked on a new music video for Vita and the Vicious and got to discover a new venue ticked away in the depths of East London.
Vita and Judy outside the George
Vita’s wears blouse and shorts from Tara Starlet and a vintage Victorian cape. Pocket watch, with thanks to ‘Freedom Jewellery’ for Topshop.
Run Riot’s undercover lady of pleasure ‘C Saint-John’ indulged her self with a charmed Erotic Education Salon as hosted by the sensual Coco de Mer. This evenings subject, dear reader, was of the great topic: ‘Female Ejaculation’. The speaker was no other than the acclaimed female ejaculation expert and author Deborah Sundahl – a glorious pioneer of this area. Her book, ‘Female Ejaculation and the G-spot’, and her video line titled, ‘The Female Ejaculation Sex Education Series’ draws on her 22 years experience, research and instruction on this important topic of female sexuality.
Here at Run-Riot we like to break through the fourth wall and spit on its filthy rubble. Here's a video about making a video from neo-grunge, solo artist She Makes War - "Let This Be". She played bass for Tricky. That makes her cool.
Famous for his Gaia theory, Lovelock is one of Britain's great outsiders and his South Bank audience this week contained another. Vivienne Westwood asked a pointed question at the end and Eco blogger Lucy Gilliam was there to see it all.

Alright! So I'm a bit out of breath after my new excercise thing am working on to counter the size of my ever increasing belly but I think can get it together to recommend some gigs for the week!
Monday:
The gig of the day today has got to be Peggy Sue's album Launch at The Garage with Dan Michaelson & Mariners Children supporting! It may have sold out though so not much good...Apart from that Is Tropical might be worth checking out at Puregroove, it's free entry
This weekend out and about blogger Megan McClimont went to The Great Exhibition, a 'steam punk' extravaganza. That's Sci-fi with an intriguing vintage twist to you and me.

Sebastian Weikart is a digital guru who loves his music. A contributor to The Gig List and scene v-logger he recently fell a little bit in love with a certain music festival.
Hands up, who likes free stuff? Free beer, free food, even free falafels for picky vegans? Do you like sunshine, warm air and gorgeous year round climate?
Tell me, do you by any chance enjoy seeing awesome bands everywhere you stumble - in pubs, bars and countless outdoor events?
So after a relative week off as most folks were away at SXSW I'm back to a usual week again. LOADS of ace shows to go to this week going to be exciting :)
Aaaaaand for the shows:
Monday:
There are a couple of big and great shows tonight but I think they are both sold out. Thats Magnetic Fields at The Barbican & Wild Beasts at Koko but since none of us are going to that unless you already knew about it no point me
