Am I too cool for School...er Skool?
My flat had a gas leak today, so the gas was turned off, and we had to head out for dinner. Walking down Portobello Road I happened to notice that the Electric Cinema was showing not a normal film but 'DJ Shadow - In tune and on time'.I'm a great fan of DJ Shadow (Josh Davis), who was widely considered to have made the finest hip-hop/trip-hop/dance album of the 1990s, Entroducing.
So I got the girlfriend to ask what that meant, and we got the slightly curt answer 'private showing'. So off we went.
Then a very nice woman ran after us, and said that two NME competition winners hadn't turned up, so we could have their passes.
This involved sitting in a lovely cinema (seats a bit like business class air travel), with free alcohol, watching the Great Man's new DVD. And then -- he was there himself! Handing out free DVDs, CDs, and t-shirts, all signed.
On that score, I recommend the new RJD2 album, Since we last spoke.
I'll return to photoshopped jokes tomorrow.
