Bruxelles

[imomus]

I'm in Brussels, staying in an apartment without wifi above the venue where I'll play a show on Monday night, so for the next couple of days there'll just be these show posters here on Click Opera.

I will say, though, that Hisae and I have already experienced La Centrale Electrique, a rather impressive contemporary art centre, and a great stand-up seafood eaterie next to it called Nordsee. Oh, and tonight (Sunday, although the post says Monday and is advertising my Monday and Tuesday shows here) Aki Onda is playing at the Palace of Fine Arts, accompanying the films of Ken Jacobs.

Below are my show details, in French. I play Monday at an arts centre and Tuesday at a fashion shop, as part of fashion week. Both events start at 8pm.

la compilothèque
50, quai des péniches
1000 Bruxelles

Depuis plus de deux ans se réunissent les quelques membres d'un drôle de "club échangiste": la compilothèque est une collection de compilations musicales de tous horizons, empruntables, et à laquelle on est soi-même invité à participer. Une autre manière de découvrir et de partager de la musique. La compilothèque s'étoffe et rassemble déjà des compiles pour la route, les enfants, pour danser ou passer l'hiver, pour résister à ça, ou chercher une autre face, pour se faire un film dans la tête, s'interroger sur la constance multiforme de l'esprit british à travers les âges, ou encore descendre une piste au sport d'hiver... D'abord dans un petit café espagnol de Saint-Gilles, et depuis quelques mois dans un café sur le quai des péniches, la compilothèque y propose également des projections de films, des concerts et des tables d'hôtes.

Le Vestiaire est le projet de 2 jeunes créatrices bruxelloises. Céline Collard a étudié la mode à la Haute Ecole Francisco Ferrer. Sa collègue, Caroline Foulon a fait ses classes à La Cambre. Jusqu'à il y a un an et demi, leurs vêtements ne pouvaient s'acheter qu'à Anvers et à Paris. Ces 2 créatrices essayent d'être compatibles. Céline s'occupe des patrons, et développe des pièces de base classiques: essentiellement des jupes et robes en coton ou en fine laine. Quant à Caroline, elle conçoit plutôt des pulls et n'hésite pas à jouer avec des motifs particuliers. Chaque saison, le duo complète ses propres collections par celle d'une 3e styliste dont le style s'adapte au leur.

I like the contravention of that old precept of photographic composition.

I'll be there!

You´re lucky I can´t drive, or I´d totally be there.

When exactly ARE you coming to Holland? I´ve been asking you for five years, for Christ´s sake.

Our sunflowers looked like that last week but now they look like they've been smoking cigars for a few decades or something.

Sunflowers...

Is the plot of sunflowers on Houston Street in New York? It reminds me of a little garden I used to see there on the north side of the street... waaaay east on Houston...

P.S. -- Loved the article about the future of the library the other day.

I know that you like The Incredible String Band. Would you consider collaborating with Stephen Duffy, who is highly influenced?

His new tracks are great, here's an interview:

Aki makes cool stuff -- hope he is not lugging those huge amps around Belgium -- he had terrible time trying to catch a cab after our show at Tonic...

Mr Momus
I leave for Japan in 3 days and was wondering if you had any ideas for a "must see must do" list. I will be in Tokyo for 4 days and because of your amazing website we are planning on an early morning visit to the fish market. If you don't have time, no problem at all.

If you haven't been there already, the Musical Instruments Museum (http://www.mim.fgov.be/) is worth a gander.

Tell Hisae to stay close to you, Belgian men are decidedly strange.

Don't correct me if I'm right, but Nordsee had an outlet in would you believe Southend-on-Sea. Now the Thames Estuary is the arse hole of England and ol' Sarf' end is half way up it, so not surprisngly Nordsee didn't last long before Colonel Saunders run them out of town. With Chav comments like "without the dog sick mate", refering to the Hollandaise sauce, it was surely doomed.
