We are, on occasion, that which can occupy that place, and allow what to reign there? The Little Other.

Next Wednesday, Special Sounds returns to Oliver's Music Bar, Nevada Street, Greenwich. Featuring live music from performance-based, electronic experimentalists, Nine Owls in a Baguette; effervescent electro-pop from The Pipettes' very own Gwenno; sweet and tender acoustic lullabies with just a smoke-tinged whiff of jazz and bossa nova, from Greenwich's very own, Kaz Simmons; and kicking things off, a short set of glitches and crooning from Monster Bobby. There will also be a short lecture on Spinoza from Infinite Thought, interval music provided by The Impostume and Owen Hatherley, plus a chance to win exclusive mix cds from Owen and Mr. Impostume in our delightful quiz (so do try and bring a pen and some paper!)

Steve Reed's Drawings From Last Month's Special Sounds Night at Oliver's

Slightly too embarrassed to fully play the part of 'artist in residence', our very own Mrs. Reed sketched these images rather furtively under the table at last month's Special Sounds night at Oliver's.
Steve would like to apologise for spelling Xylitol wrong.
Details of this month's night of Special Sounds to follow shortly.
