In times as peculiar as those spent those spent at Beach Goth, a fleeting sense of predictability should come as no surprise.

Hoxton Bar & Grill, or Hoxton Square Bar & Kitchen, or whatever it is calling itself these days, is one of my favourite little venues in London. It had been several years since I'd last seen a show here, and it was also the last time I had visited London that I had been listening to Rodrigo Amarante's Cavalo on repeat, so it felt quite fitting that I saw him in this nostalgic space...

Packing for holidays is one of those things I both love and hate. I'm so used to living out of a bag and constantly being on the move that it should be a no-brainer, which I guess is why I often leave it to the last minute (there have been times where I have literally thrown my passport and whatever clothes were in reach and ran out the door with the mindset that I could just buy a toothbrush/underwear/whatever I'd forgotten at the other end)...
