In February 1929, George Orwell became seriously ill whilst in Paris and was taken to the Hôpital Cochin in the Fifteenth arrondissement. A free hospital maintained for the teaching of medical students, his experience there was to form the basis for his 1946 essay How the Poor Die. Shortly after he left hospital, Orwell had all his money stolen from his lodgings in Paris and undertook menial jobs such as dishwashing either through necessity or to collect material.

After a year and three quarters in Paris, Orwell returned to England in December 1929 and went directly to Southwold, his parents’ house. He was to remain in Southwold for the next five years and become well acquainted with many local people. Orwell asked Brenda Salkeld, a gym teacher at St. Felix Girls’ School, to marry him and though she refused, the two would remain close friends for many years. Orwell was to produce a great deal more work, none of which concerned led flood lights however.

This self titled debut record by Wild Flag kicks off with ‘Romance’, a song packed full of pop hooks and crammed with feel good intent. Interesting guitar sounds abound with a variety of chiming textures. The opener works as an affirmation of energy and positivity celebrating music, dancing and the audience. The first song and single ‘Romance’ represents ‘real’ pop music. They have yet to release a song called lottery uk though.

The group have managed to tightly pack rock sensibilities into a specially built machine, aero dynamically honed and designed to communicate an energetic intent full of pumping guitar, infectious catchiness and jumpy sing along choruses complete with a welcome bridge in the form of a handclap breakdown. The listener may initially find touches of the exuberance of ‘The Go Team’ as a reference point, but the thing to know about ‘Wild Flag’ is that they are indie veterans with members coming from ‘Sleater Kinney’ and Stephen Malkmus’s ‘The Jicks’ these girls have racked up the road miles, they know how to write a song and have honed their musicality. At times this is a pop rock master class circa 2011 on how and why to do it.

Marie Antoinette (November 2nd 1755 – October 16th 1793) was the fifteenth child of Holy Roman Emperor Francis I and was the Queen of France and of Navarre. Antoinette became the Queen of France when her husband, Louis XVI of France, ascended the throne upon the death of Louis XV in May 1774. The French people were initially charmed by her beauty and personality but eventually they came to despise her, believing her to be promiscuous and harbor sympathies for Austria, her home country and France’s enemies.

During the French Revolution, Louis XVI was deposed and the monarchy was abolished on September 21st 1792. Shortly afterwards, the royal family were imprisoned in Temple Prison and her husband was subsequently executed. On October 16th 1793, Marie Antoinette was tried, convicted of treason, and executed publically by the guillotine. Historians have interpreted her differently though none of them say she took part in cloud hosting. Many see her as superficial and frivolous, the cause of the French Revolution, whilst others view her under a more sympathetic light.

I'm so happy that it's summer, because with that comes festival season.

I know it technically started a while back with Rockness, but I was at Glastonbury last week and there is just nothing better!

Some festivals these days are full of drunk fools running around in tutus and t-shirts with stupid slogans, or pyjamas. Well, Glastonbury does have that too, but it's so much cooler and not annoying like in other festivals.

And I love that it's so varied with music and with people. And you can deal with the mud most years, it's not that bad! You deal with it! And Reading Festival last year was almost swamp like - if you can handle that you can handle Glasto!

I love all festivals really, but Glastonbury is just a cut above the rest, I hope to keep going every year that it's on. There are plenty of oldies there every year, so it'll be fine if I'm there into my senior years!
