Choices

Tonight, Ed - of Red T Music - is putting on one of his MicroMu events at MAO Live House: strange but true - Oxygen Can, a rather fun heavy metal outfit, are doing an 'unplugged' show. I'm really not sure how that's going to work - you might be able to unplug their instruments, but you can't unplug them: these boys are diehard headbangers. Still, their distinctive gimmick is that they have a second drummer who beats the shit out of an oil drum with a pair of heavy wooden billets - I suppose they don't need any amplification for that. Definitely an intriguing prospect, this; I am sorely tempted.

However, over at nearby rival venue Yugong Yishan there is once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see a screening of notorious North Korean monster movie, Pulgasari - the climax of a mini DPRK film festival being staged there all evening by the Koryo Tours boys.

Ah, and then there are some tasty match-ups in the English Premier League today: the Manchester derby, and Chelsea v Arsenal. I fear the lure of Luga's Villa may win out over the more 'cultural' options.....


Dang!
