montyfood: Telefon Tel Aviv @ Hoxton Bar and Kitchen, London

http://www.montyfood.com/2009/06/telefon-tel-aviv-hoxton-bar-and-kitchen.html

Chewing the yummy, spewing the yucky. Telefon Tel Aviv @ Hoxton Bar and Kitchen, London. Monday, June 22, 2009 at. I think it was Elvis Costello who suggested that writing about music is like dancing about architecture. Telefon Tel Aviv’s new tunes sound like overpowering architectural structures but many make you want to dance inside them. Music for dimly lit cyber cathedrals. Posted on July 1, 2009 at 2:41 PM. Btw Frank Zappa made the comment or are you dancing about architecture. Get the 'food feed.

montyfood: Fakesgiving

http://www.montyfood.com/2008/11/fakesgiving.html

Chewing the yummy, spewing the yucky. Thursday, November 20, 2008 at. Us Brits are always at least five hours ahead of the You Ess of Ay, so it seems an strangely empty gesture to be a whole week ahead of a stateside national holiday. Because, loyal reader, tonight I am off to a Thanksgiving dinner. I and a cadre of friends have been celebrating this peculiarly American of feasts for the past several years or so. We're ameriphiles. So, it's a Franksgiving (named after FDR. Who plumped for the third Thurs...

montyfood: Yellow Magic Orchestra @ Royal Festival Hall

http://www.montyfood.com/2008/06/yellow-magic-orchestra-royal-festival.html

Chewing the yummy, spewing the yucky. Yellow Magic Orchestra @ Royal Festival Hall. Wednesday, June 18, 2008 at. Picture credit © JJ Hall). Last Sunday night I went on a pilgrimage. At London's South Bank Centre, this year being curated by Massive Attack who had invited Yellow Magic Orchestra. Sounds uncannily prescient of the fragile, glassy, broken soundscapes of many laptop glitch musicians nearly two decades later. I wasn't expecting there to be a support act, but to my surprise Australian band Pivot.

montyfood: It's Lost time

http://www.montyfood.com/2009/05/it-lost-time.html

Chewing the yummy, spewing the yucky. Wednesday, May 13, 2009 at. For some misbegotten reason, I just want to weigh in before the season 5 finale airs stateside tonight with some ideas, predictions and general stabs in the dark. As ever I tend to see this blog as a pointless prognostication engine. And yes, I do have plans to make some vague guesses about this weekend's Eurovision contest. How could I not? Stranger in a Strange Land. Just a wonderfully perplexing circularity. The Empire Strikes Back.

montyfood: September 2009

http://www.montyfood.com/2009_09_01_archive.html

Chewing the yummy, spewing the yucky. Derren Brown tries to stick me to the sofa. Friday, September 18, 2009 at. My way through this latest attempt to subliminally stick me to my seat. I survived Derren's attempts to take over my brain and mentally attach my rectum to the chair. (Although from what I hear, allowing Derren to take control of one's rear end is not generally advised.)

montyfood: May 2010

http://www.montyfood.com/2010_05_01_archive.html

Chewing the yummy, spewing the yucky. Friday, May 28, 2010 at. I have only myself to blame. Having established a tradition over the last few years. So first, a quick digression to say how utterly disappointed I am with this year's BBC Eurovision antics. After last year's syncretic attempt. In an odd sidenote about the British song, the shadow of a far larger worldwide contest. While the French fans opt for this year's song. The entry from that valedictory year and another. Of skinheads, scallies and othe...

montyfood: Sarah Silverman @ Hammersmith Apollo

http://www.montyfood.com/2008/10/sarah-silverman-hammersmith-apollo.html

Chewing the yummy, spewing the yucky. Sarah Silverman @ Hammersmith Apollo. Monday, October 20, 2008 at. Dared to say “just buy a ticket and trust us… you won't be disappointed”. They couldn’t have been more wrong. I’m sad to reflect that the best part of the evening was the beer and burger I had before the show. Responses to Sarah Silverman @ Hammersmith Apollo. Posted on October 20, 2008 at 6:44 PM. I have to agree. The show was dire. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

montyfood: Fresh lick of paint

http://www.montyfood.com/2009/06/fresh-lick-of-paint.html

Chewing the yummy, spewing the yucky. Fresh lick of paint. Monday, June 8, 2009 at. I've had an off-the-peg Blogger template since the get-go two and a half years ago, and it was always something I wanted to change but - much like actually writing the damn thing - I never got round to it. So twelve months ago I mocked out the layout you see now in Photoshop with the intention of figuring out how to code it up for Blogger. It was a job that proceeded ridiculously slowly.

montyfood: Montyfood's Eurovision 2008 rundown

http://www.montyfood.com/2008/05/montyfood-eurovision-2008-rundown.html

Chewing the yummy, spewing the yucky. Montyfoods Eurovision 2008 rundown. Saturday, May 24, 2008 at. Can it really be that time of year when Europe engages in its annual Battle of the Pop Songs that is the unparalleled Eurovision Song Contest? So here's the rundown: Romania. S Nico and Vlad (I have no idea whether he's a vampire or not, if he is he's certainly a very handsome one) will kick off with some faux-operatic pop balladry, the sort of thing that could do well across a wide demographic. Troub...
