After a year coming heavily to te tunnels one may think it's not impressionable anymore. But one would be wrong wouldn't one?

Just wait for the proper pictures.

Every Friday at 5pm Beer O'Clock is declared at the office.

Last night I was at the old vic tunnels for a Secret Cinema session. It's supposed to be secret so I won't spoil it to you, suffice it to say it's an unmissable event, so if you're in London, go to their official website and buy tickets before they sell out.

Here are some pictures to tease you out. Watch them as a slideshow, the order is relevant ;-)

I was reading this interesting post about what TV used to be and what it represented for a generation of now grownups. TV has changed so radically and broadcasting was augmented in such a way that TV shows are not perceived as special as they used to be.

I understand the nostalgic feeling the author is talking about and of course, the memories of something one grew up with are always magical and special just as today's children activities will be for the adults of the future.

Mind, though, I didn't say today's TV, I said today's activities because TV, as you said, it's becoming less magical and special, and it also means it's becoming obsolete.

I don't mean TV sets are going to become obsolete, but the TV broadcasting model is. TV became interactive over the years and that's going to increase. And countless devices can be plugged into it for further interactivity.

Does that spoil TV as it used to be in our generation? I think it does.

Is that a bad thing? I'll dare to say not at all. There are many things today that children can grow up regarding as magical and special.

Willing that our children to grow up with the same childhood as ours would be just like our parents telling us the TV spoiled the magic of the radio. Which if you ask me, it did.

But so what? In the current technology model, children are more empowered to find things that are more special than, dare I say, the sound of music, but that are only viable because someone in their home just have the technical ability to produce and share it within a domestic realm.

Even better, children of today have the technical empowerment to create those special things themselves and that's something that can be magical and special and it was much, much harder on our generation.

The TV era is dying. So long, farewell, auf wieder sehen, good bye. Parents should embrace the new era and environmentally empower, as well as guide, children with what they are already technologically empowered so things don't derail and their childhood can be as special as the one of the TV generation.

Very politically incorrect but highly catchy, don't start listening if you don't want a song in your head for hours to come...

Fuck the motherfucker, Fuck the motherfucker

Fuck the motherfucker, he's a fucking motherfucker

Fuck the motherfucker, fuck the fucking fucker
Fuck the motherfucker, he's a total fucking fucker

Fuck the motherfucker, Fuck the motherfucker
Fuck the motherfucker, fucking fuck the motherfucker

Fuck the motherfucker, fuck the motherfucking pope

Fuck the motherfucker, and fuck you motherfucker
If you think that motherfucker is sacred (fucking motherfucker)
If you cover for another motherfucker who's a kiddie fucker
Fuck you you're no better then the mother fucking rapist
And if you don't like this swearing that this motherfucker forced from me
And reckon it's shows moral or intellectual paucity
Then fuck you motherfucker, this is language one employs
When one is fucking cross about fuckers fucking boys

I don't give a fuck if calling the pope a motherfucker
Means you unthinkingly brand me and unthinking apostate, and
This has naught to do with other fucking godly motherfuckers
I'm not interested right now in fucking scriptural debate
There are other fucking songs and there are other fucking ways
I'll be a religious apologist on other fucking days
And the fact remains that if you protect a single kiddie fucker
Then pope or prince or plumber you're a fucking motherfucker

You see I don't give a fuck what any other motherfucker
Believes about Jesus and his motherfucking mother
I've no problem with the spiritual beliefs of all these fuckers
While those beliefs don't hit back on the happiness of others
But if you build your church on claims of fucking moral authority
And with threats of hell impose it on others in society
Then you, you motherfuckers, can expect some fucking wrath
When it turn out you've been fucking us in our motherfucking asses

So fuck the motherfucker and fuck you motherfucker
If you're still a motherfucking papist (fucking motherfucker)
If you covered for a single motherfucker who's a kiddie fucker,
Fuck the motherfucker he's as evil as the rapist
And if you look into your motherfucking heart and tell me true
If this motherfucking stupid fucking song offended you
With it's filthy fucking language and it's fucking disrespect
If it made you feel angry go ahead and write a letter

But if you find me more offensive then the fucking possibility
The pope protected priests when they where getting fucking fiddly
Then listen to me motherfucker, this here is a fact
You are just as morally misguided as that motherfucking
Power hungry, self aggrandised bigot in the stupid fucking hat

Fuck the motherfucker, Fuck the motherfucker
Fuck the motherfucker, he's a fucking motherfucker

Fuck the motherfucker, ...

After the absolutely spectacular Drugstore Comeback Gig in September last year, Isabel Monteiro has changed the whole line up of the band for its new iteration. The original Drugstore members live in three different continents and there are other problems Miss Monteiro explains on her blog.

I can't say I wasn't aprehensive about a whole new lineup for yesterday's gig but while it feels strange to see Drugstore with a new composition, I think it doesn't lack in quality and I'm looking forward to the new releases.

What I missed from yesterday's performance was an even more flamboyant superstar attitude of Isabel's onstage persona that is so entertaining.

"They told me not to drink too much, not to smoke and not to talk too much on stage, f**k them!" She says! And right she is, talk on!
