  3. #Brixton Market Saved From Private Equity Firms – for Now

    A historic #British #market has won a reprieve after fears it would fall into the hands of private #equity firms.

    After almost 40,000 people signed the ‘Buy Back #Brixton’ petition, Green-run #Lambeth council has designated Brixton Village Market and its historic Market Row as Assets of #Community Value (ACV).

  7. Went to see the Super Furry Animals at Brixton Academy.

    Missed this band over the last, what, 15 years since they last played?

    Banger after banger. One of those bass rumbles felt like the building was shaking, earthquake alerts.

    The classic SFA song has some sweet jangly guitar tune going on then two verses in you feel something weird and electronic in the beat and then the wall of noise and beeps and booms hits you in the face. Love it.

    Power-ranger helmet, furry suits, flashing lights and strange cartoon alien creatures on the backdrop.

    Ending with that first song they ever wrote together, as they almost always did. The Man Don't Give A Fuck is a masterpiece and that beepy boomy wall of noise is different every time. Whole room bouncing up and down shouting that they don't give a fuck about anybody else you know they don't give a fuck about anybody else you know.

    No encores. Ever. If you have a finale like that why would you? Prompt finish and out. Staff must love it. Everyone hanging on to that last second then moving on at once instead of hanging around unsure if anyone's gonna play again.

    Looking forward to doing it again outdoors at Beautiful Days.

  15. Somehow my Ghostsigns email address has been linked to the fictitious business, Bovril Sign Brixton.

    Which makes for some bizarre spam...

    That said, if Andrew can reduce my fuel expenditure on Bovril Sign Brixton, then I could be in the money as the current spend is a grand total of £0 per annum...

    For those interested, the sign in question is this one, which I wrote a little bit about here: ghostsigns.co.uk/2018/06/bovri.

  17. As I quickly glanced left, for a moment I thought the lit buildings were huge pillars holding the night #sky above me – a highway to… somewhere.

    Then I realised that Night's Bridge is by Hyde Park & I was approaching Loughborough Junction, so the moment passed.

  19. RE: mastodon.social/@sheislaurence

    If commenting directly on the #Lambeth planning website is too much for you, try this #petition created by the Save Nour peeps. They successfully fight #Brixton's #gentrification (Nour, Hondo) & now taking on the defense of International House to save not just local character but essential #community activity.

  21. This is International House in #Brixton #London, a high rise that has been a thriving home to dozens of #community groups, #charities, #advocacy & #socialjustice orgs since 2018. There's an amazing #rooftopcafé & even saunas! But #Lambeth is seeking to sell it off to a #UAE property developer to turn it into... luxury flats & corporate offices (with token #socialhousing & commmunity space).

    OBJECT now in the consultation before 12/03 & share!

  23. What I love about Brixton, Im walking the back steets and pass a man pulling a fat speaker playing some lovely afternoon soul, the lyrics appealing to the listener to "enjoy the day"
