horsemouth is a little bored (but soon he is off to ireland). saturday sean was supposed to visit but there was also creation rebel up at walthamstow garden party (in the end sean will come monday or tuesday). later still on saturday horsemouth was off babysitting.
sunday afternoon there’s a good solid african music line up there (seun kuti and egypt 80, fatoumata diawara).
on the glorious 12th he failed to get out the door to look at the old school house (a very churchy looking building just off lea bridge road) - he always wondered what it was (and now he knows). soon it is up for sale (as a grade II listed building there’s limited opportunity to chop it about).
he shopped in the morning and read/ farted about on the internet in the afternoon.
he began the day listening to nirvana’s in utero (satisfyingly crunchy, strangely melodic and very well made) and ended it with metallica’s 1983 kill ‘em all - there’s a band photo, they all look very young and very serious, the riffing is there (but the vocals and the production aren’t).
horsemouth has ‘discovered’ veronique chailot a normandy french singer of early music who since 2005 has played with veziana, an ensemble dedicated to early music from both sides of the pyrenees.
horsemouth is reading the mystic mind: the psychology of medieval mystics and ascetics - a collaboration between a medieval historian and a psychologist has a precedent in his studies of the desert fathers but also on the position of women in the early church - in peter brown’s the body and society and in joyce e. salisbury’s church fathers, independent virgins - this also feeds in to his interest in utopian communes, monastic communities and secular solitaries (in both fiction and real life).
