The Eroticism of the Baroque

Unusual night for me last night, went to the Brandenberg orchestra to see them play some Baroque concertos (Vivaldi, Bach etc.). I actually thoroughly enjoyed myself as well as learning a little bit - like what a concerto is for one thing. Plus, there is something strangely erotic about a woman playing a string instrument in elegant clothing. The bass player was a hornbag.

More on my usual bent, getting excited about the Big Day Out on Jan 26th. Some great festival bands just announced: The Hives, John Spencer Blues ExplOOSHEOOON and - yes! - the Polyphonic Spree.

Stag/Buck's Night for future brother-in-law Steve on Friday followed by a quiet Saturday, at least until Arsenal v Spurs kicks off at 11pm. Newtown Festival on Sunday, but no tree-climbing I suppose, regretfully.
