Strangers often comment on the quality of the brickwork and pointing to be found in the moderately well-to-do suburbs of #Sheffield
This is somewhere in the vicinity of Crookes. I won't reveal the street name to save the inhabitants from the attention of hordes of brick admiring tourists.

A photograph of Siouxsie and the Banshees, with Siouxsie looking very young and less stern than she usually did, although it appears that she might be mobilising her features to settle in a familiar scowl.

Internationales Jahrbuch für die Nietzsche-Desperate Dan-Forschung
Abstract
THUS SPAKE DESPERATE DAN
Explores the multifaceted dimensions of The Dandy and Desperate Dan-Nietzche mimesis through the lenses of weird, eerie, and liminal spaces, drawing on concepts from psychogeography and hauntology.

Margaret Thatcher was a terrible wicked villain, the enemy of the people, the enemy within.

1. The Stonebreakers. The entrepreneurial realist Courbet.
2. Never Work. The tyrant Debord.

It's interesting that the English pronunciation of Debord sounds very like 'The Bore'.

Crosspool in the days when it was an interesting looking place, before it was fashioned into the dullest suburb in the whole city state of Sheffield.

Moved to Sheffield for teacher training, didn't vibe with housemates, spent time solo in pubs. Met cool group @ Grindstone, girl introduced me to NOS. Services amazing. Got involved, met Chris. Things got messy when stories came out. Felt betrayed. #LifeJourney #Sheffield #NOS #FaithAndBetrayal

The Reconfiguration of Stratford, East London.
We could have had this… Fun Palace dream, 1954/64. (We were never going to get this).
Instead, they imposed this… Nu-Stratford Nightmare, 2018 - date. (This was inevitable and is ongoing).

Is it to encourage reflection on the idea that 'schizophrenia' is a transformative state involving an attempt to cope with living in a sick society?
A marker of a recent diagnosis?
The work of a schoolchild who thinks that schizophrenia is fab and groovy and cool?

I have a fondness for flowers that hang on until late autumn but is this a sign of resilience or are they out of time latecomers destined for the oblivion of destruction?
There seemed to be a few of these about. Maybe they're renowned autumn blooms.
How would I know?
Am I a country bumpkin?

Woe and alack!
Nary a listen to me Bandcamp jewels!
It’s so hard being a misunderstood genius like wot I am.

Leaves, 08/11/125.
There is an Icelandic indie band called leaves, formed in 2000 and still going, apparently.
I saw them play at The Boardwalk #Sheffield 16/08/25 and wrote (amongst other things):
"As the pig is to the Stannington farmer, so the elf is to the resident of Iceland..."

Eric Ravilious was keen on depicting hill figures in his work from time to time.

Not at all far from here libcom.org/article/shef...
Although you wouldn't know it to look at it.

Think Notting Hill type gentrification (different time & space, extended incursion) with cheaper prices & less attention paid to what's going on overall.

Moor Market #Sheffield
14 January 2017
It doesn't really show on this photograph but the ceiling of the market building is far too high, giving it an unheimlich and anti-human feel.
Developments that are too large for the environment, or the people in the environment, are often disturbing.

Has someone gone awry in their depiction of the Hieroglyphic Monad, you ask. No, they have not. They have succeeded in capturing the very essence of Frank.

Otto Dix, Der Krieg. Dig the Goya and Holbein references. I don’t know if they’re commonly recognised. I worked them out for myself.

A masterpiece of call and response.
SPG have created their own version but it fails to match the majesty of The Ramblers.

I thought the Hairy Cornflake had been written out of history but it seems he presents a show on Heritage Chart Radio, the brainchild of Mike Read.

You gotta help me, doctor. I keep saying pointy nosed geezers emerging from walls in places that exist but have no names.
