Celebrity Murder Party XI went really well – you can see the selected highlights (all 240+ of them – I actually shot 633 pictures!) here.

Best thing about it was that traditionally they meet up in a public place, which causes all kinds of interest and amusement – this time it was Marble Arch, the venue was at Bond Street so cue a march up and down Oxford Street, in costume! That was fun, and the reactions were funny:

Miss Honey Bare aka Kelly provided the sugar highs

Bush No. 10 was one of the DJs, he was in a fighting mood:

Happy punters

Stick em up, Batgirl!

OH NOES! Who let Dobbin out?

Ahh Lt. Thaddeus Harris is here to save the day!

Time please! And stop ordering those Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters, we’re fresh out of Qualactic lime.

Great news is that CMP has raised over £11,000 for Camp Cando – glad to be a small part of that…it’s going on a hiatus for the rest of 2009, but back bigger and better I hope in 2010. I had a lot of fun and it was a learning experince for me how to ask strangers if I can take a picture – I’m usually a candid sort of guy – but it worked out well!

I’m starting my portraiture studio course at Central St Martins in a few weeks so more photography to come from me – as the description over at the Flickr set suggests, let’s get this party started right! Let’s get this party started quickly…I want to make this my job. And I will.

A little voice inside my head said: “Don’t look back, you can never look back.”. Well actually it was Don Henley but in the case of The Asylum, home of the legendary Bastard, one the world’s first ever mashup nights (well that was King of the Boots, also run by Cartel Mike and Johnny, and might have been there too) in London back in 2001 or 2002 until 2006, it’s very true.

This was the club that was so underground (it wasn’t properly licensed!), grungey and accidentally hip, that not only did Chris Morris base the pisstake of the club in Nathan Barley on it, the owners went onto run the Macbeth in Hoxton, where one of them or their staff got into that whole Blake/Amy debacle.

It seems that The Asylum has been kidnapped by Laura Ashley, and forced to wear floral wallpaper, union jack underpants and Ye Olde tourist-trap trinkets. So sad.

History – right there. Or was…

(not pictured behind them is the Ye Olde fireplace, the patio chav-style windows at the end, the union jack chairs, the WI tea cups used as ice holders and the tablecloths. I shit you not. Go look at the pictures from upto 3 years ago and compare!)

Prog rock? More plush-soft more like…

Eye(let) fank ewe!

I’ve setup the ‘Best’ set in Flickr, which includes what I think to be my best photographs so far, well of the ones I’ve shared online, anyway (there are about 10,000+ film ones that have never been scanned!).

Quite hard for me to choose, I’m very picky technically but also have to see the other side that some pictures transcend that criteria – even if I can see in my head the picture I saw at the time, and the photo doesn’t measure up. I’m sure all serious photographers get this.

To see more – go to the new special Radio Clash Photography area or click the link at the top of the page (wooh!)

After over 2 years (OMG has it been that long?) I’ve stopped the weekly DJ sets at the Parkade in Second Life.

No bad reason, no drama, just need to spend time on other stuff (like: finding work, career, photography). I’ll probably pop back time to time to DJ for the odd special set

I recorded the last set, at some point it’ll be here. Sad to leave ‘Cruise Control’ behind, but after 2 years it’s time to focus on career and paying gigs. I’m clamping down on creating free stuff, it’s great and all, but it doesn’t pay the bills – and the bills are the real problem at the moment.
