Auto_Da_Fe 10th Oct 2015		Book Donald E. Westlake - Enough!	Rated 4/10 In which a minor TV actor commits an accidental murder and complications ensue. As Westlake's comedy/crime/thriller novels go, this is weak. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
Auto_Da_Fe 7th Oct 2015		Live Music Blow Up @ The New Adelphi	2 singles on Creation, not sure the rating was ever much more than middling.
Auto_Da_Fe 5th Oct 2015		Book Imraan Coovadia - The Institute For Taxi Poetry	Rated 7/10 In which the protagonist's mentor as a taxi poet is murdered and much history is revealed. Like Bolano's 'Savage Detectives', this seems to be set in a slightly parallel world in which poetry is of much more importance. 1 person found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
Auto_Da_Fe 5th Oct 2015		Book Elias Canetti - Auto Da Fé	Rated 10/10 In which a misanthropic professor marries his housekeeper (misled by the respect with which she treats his books), and bad things ensue. 1 person found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
Auto_Da_Fe 2nd Oct 2015		Live Music The Doomed @ The Greyhound, Croydon	Yes, they split up in spring 78, then reformed by September. Played as The Doomed for the rest of the year, then reverted to being The Damned.
Auto_Da_Fe 29th Sep 2015		Live Music The Cramps @ Hammersmith Odeon	here is a poster for Odeon.
Auto_Da_Fe 18th Sep 2015		Live Music Jeffrey Lewis And Peter Stampfel Band @ The Windmill	Review Attended both the early and late shows and, as with the previous two Windmill gigs, this was glorious. Both acts played about 90% the same songs in each set, but in much different order. 1 person found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
Auto_Da_Fe 8th Sep 2015		Live Music Barna Howard @ Servant Jazz Quarters	Review Barna Howard was enjoyable Americana. Robert Chaney was a revelation, charming performances of pleasingly dark songs. 1 person found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
Auto_Da_Fe 4th Aug 2015		CD Single Scott 4 - Your Kingdom To Dust	I take this to be a single - although one of the two tracks is 23 minutes long
Auto_Da_Fe 16th Jul 2015		Live Music Kid Wave @ The Old Blue Last	Review An entertaining and varied bill. First up (despite the advertised billing) were Dolores Haze - Swedish riot grrls, lots of energy and lots of fun. Bleeding Heart Pigeons are from Ireland. I was prejudiced against them because of the guitar/bass/singer's 16 pedals, and the fact tht he appeared to have his father as a roadie. They're competent enough, but sadly short on tunes and excitement. St. Tropez brushed aside my concern at their pedal count (27, but between 3 of them) and presented some highly energetic garage rock from Amsterdam. Somewhere between the early Saints and Hanoi Rocks. And to finish, the atmospheric postpunkish sounds of Kid Wave. Well worth the entry fee.. (it was free). 1 person found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
Auto_Da_Fe 13th Jul 2015		Live Music Ramones @ The Roundhouse	Added a poster - photographed on the wall of the Rough Trade shop in Talbot Road last week
Auto_Da_Fe 25th Jun 2015		Live Music The Higsons @ The Royalty, Southgate	But apparently not - I found a clipping
Auto_Da_Fe 23rd Jun 2015		Vinyl Album The Meteors [Psychobilly] - Undead, Unfriendly And Unstoppable	the sleeves were made in the UK, the vinyl was pressed in France
Auto_Da_Fe 14th May 2015		Live Music The Parade @ Nambucca	"Cancelled due to events beyond our control" say the venue.
Auto_Da_Fe 13th May 2015		Live Music Knell @ Stags Head	Found the details - so: Here (apparently they do consider themselves punk)
Auto_Da_Fe 13th May 2015		Live Music Knell @ Stags Head	Back tonight after football, and more metal happening (possibly punk in the eyes of the protagonists). A lively crowd watching a 4 piece band featuring a heavily tattooed naked bald vocalist. Can't seem to find a clue as to the name of the band - but the number of cameras out suggest it'll all be revealed on Youtube.
Auto_Da_Fe 11th May 2015		Vinyl Album Various Artists - KROQ Devotees Album	A6 is the one that does it for me.. Devofied Merle Haggard!
Auto_Da_Fe 8th May 2015		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Световна Естрада (World's Variety)	B1 rather wonderfully credited to Les Humfreeze Singers on the sleeve.
Auto_Da_Fe 6th May 2015		Live Music Knell @ Stags Head	Just came here for a pint after playing football, with no idea that there would be a gig in the room at the side. But there it was - Chilean death metal, and as death metal goes - as good as any other I've seen. Four people on stage, ten in the audience, one at the desk. No idea how the economics work out, but I did enjoy dipping in for 3 songs. Wasn't carrying a camera, so blurry phone images are all I can add.
Auto_Da_Fe 25th Apr 2015		Live Music The Clash @ Forest National	Vic says neither Belle Stars nor Subway Sect played this gig, despite poster.
Auto_Da_Fe 25th Apr 2015		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Let's Cut A Rug	Track B5 says "Children in Need" with no indication if this is title or artist. The internet and Discogs list Children in Need as the title, and N. Downey (taken from the composer credit) as the artist. I haven't followed that line because the artist listing on the sleeve includes Children in Need. Given the heavy involvement of Deep Freeze Mice with this album, I think it is much more likely that this track simply has no title.
Auto_Da_Fe 24th Apr 2015		Live Music Darren Hayman @ St. Pancras Old Church	Marvelous stuff. Four of the Hefner "Hymns" then the entire Chants for Socialists.
Auto_Da_Fe 14th Apr 2015		Live Music The Curtains @ Bacchus	I've played a couple of those! As an audience member, This gig had 3 attendees - a snogging couple who payed no attention to the band, and me. Also attended a Zodiac Mindwarp gig (which I haven't found a date for) at which I was the only paying punter - but there was a support - Baby Go Boom - and both bands watched each other, so it didn't look quite so bad.

Auto_Da_Fe 10th Apr 2015		Live Music Blonde Redhead @ Store Vega	Perfect - now it's fixed. Thank you!
Auto_Da_Fe 10th Apr 2015		Live Music Blonde Redhead @ Store Vega	Yes - it's not so intuitive.. but starting to create a new entry is the way to go. Start to enter a gig; then enter a new venue. When the new venue exists, I can move the gig.
