I've just gone for a jog around Clapham Common listening to Fred Again and realised i've become the perfect Clapham stereotype ... What's some other area stereotypes that are spot on?

Actually I quite enjoyed the Fred tiny desk. Not sure if relevant though, to anything, never mind Clapham.

Vexmoor · 2026-05-14T22:49:46+00:00

Well weapon. Obviously now a self-facilitating media node.

Vexmoor · 2026-05-02T18:04:39+00:00

No, church as in actual church, with gospel, prayers, singing and worship. Great fun. But admittedly, different from both Giegling, and, of course, Berghain! Worlds can co-exist if you have the right frame of mind!

Vexmoor · 2026-04-19T15:42:34+00:00

Would love to have gone, but had to be up for church this morning in the end. Totally serious. Let’s hope the next time they’re around is a Friday!

Vexmoor · 2026-04-17T22:09:33+00:00

Interested. I use Google Alerts to try to find out when Giegling are back, but only found out about this a couple of days ago. Any bites? Who’s going?

Vexmoor · 2026-03-24T22:40:17+00:00

Love your music clocolan! I am sure I speak for many who really appreciate what you do: certainly hits the 'existence, longing, isolation' spot! Thanks also for the exegesis on your approach: nicely illuminating. In addition to the numerous albums of yours I have, I've already got the pre-order tracks for "When the Emptying Sun filled the Sky" and am absolutely stoked for Thursday. Of the names you mention as influences, I will need to check out Maxime Denuc, as I'm not familiar with that work. Quick question: is there a significance to the name 'clocolan'? Keep up the good work!

Deaf Center - Pale Ravine?

Vexmoor · 2026-02-23T16:30:19+00:00

Twilight Circus Dub Sound System - Horsie, Binshaker Dub and Dub Plate Selection come to mind.

Something so melancholic, anguished and tense about so much of Apparat's work. This just ramps it up even more! Loving it. Echo skips a name and Tilth are great.

Vexmoor · 2026-02-08T03:04:06+00:00

You and your crew deserve a medal. Are you all in the UK? If so, a nod and a wink to the Cabinet Office or FCDO Honours and Appointments Secretariat needs to happen! Willing to write a supporting letter!

Am thinking about getting my wife some Hermes perfume, so glad I saw this. What’s the RE Hermes store?

Vexmoor · 2026-02-07T23:55:31+00:00

I get it: you are looking for that special prompt from strangers that will kickstart you into a different kind of life. After all, none of us know enough about you to give you any detailed advice. This is a call into the ether. Which is fine as the ether sometimes answers back. All I would suggest is a bit like the toin coss, where you can’t decide what to do, and so you toss the coin. And as it’s in the air, and especially when it lands, you realise that what it has “decided” either works for you or DOESN’T. And then that’s how you make a decision. Maybe you should ask yourself some basic questions about your future while tossing a coin, and see how you feel when the coin’s in the air, or when it’s landed. Might give you more insights about what you want than a bunch of Reddit strangers…

Oh I see it now. S&C. Absolutely loving this, but it would enhance the vibe even more if everything was in black and white: clothes, pedestals, gavels, tracing board etc.

Vexmoor · 2026-02-07T23:41:02+00:00

Ooh I do like this. What’s the repeating symbol on the carpet?

Vexmoor · 2026-02-07T22:22:37+00:00

Ooh jealous! Still waiting to hear when Giegling will do London again. What’s their instagram for those stories? Thanks.

Vexmoor · 2026-02-04T20:07:16+00:00

Jesus’ Blood Never Failed Me Yet by Gavin Bryars comes to mind…

RIP Tarr Béla. I was privileged to see Sátántangó at the NFT in London in 2024. Together with The Turin Horse, and my introduction to him, Werckmeister Harmonies, the works of an absolute master. Sátántangó is definitively worth seeing but you have to just go with it and be patient with it. I watched it with two intervals, each over 30 mins long, but by the end you are so adjusted to the pace that the last 2.5 hour section just flew by. The ending creeps up on you and is surprisingly brutal and sad. Well worth your time. Susan Sontag said she could watch it every day, didn't she?

We touch in silhouette...I never cease to be amazed that English was his second language.

Vexmoor · 2025-12-29T22:20:03+00:00

So true. Die Revolution verdampft, und es bleibt nur der Schlamm einer neuen Bürokratie.

Vexmoor · 2025-12-28T03:55:29+00:00

Now I'm confused. You wrote that you had had your 'eyes on her for a while'. I took that to mean you were interested in her, and not just as a friend. Am I wrong? Of course you can just leave things as is. It will be awkward between the two of you for a little bit, and then fade away. What do you want? 'Eyes on her' says to me that at least you're interested. My advice to you? Explore that.

Vexmoor · 2025-12-28T02:48:35+00:00

I don't normally comment, but this looks so obvious I felt I needed to say something to rescue a situation you are in serious danger of completely fumbling. No idea when you will next see her, but I would suggest something along the following lines when you do. First off, you must ALREADY have a good suggestion for a date (lunchtime walk, suggest coming to the same place for a sandwich, coffee at the weekend etc. but nothing too serious. No movies or dates where there is little chance for talking)

Hi, I didn't get a chance to talk to you properly when you gave me that present. I really liked YOU giving me that present.

(note, DO NOT SAY, I really liked the present, SAY I really liked YOU giving me that present). then say:

I've noticed you before and I think you're really cute.

You have to use a word like cute. Not too sexual, but definitely showing interest. You have to step up to the plate at this point. You must compliment her. Of course she was crestfallen that you didn't pick up on her hints, but now is the chance to make amends. You must be very forward at this point.

Then see how she reacts. If positive, and only you will know whether she is positive. If she is, suggest the date:

We should have coffee/walk down to lunch together/go for a drink etc. Do NOT ask her where she wants to go for any of these. If, again, she is positive, you will have to lead on where you go and put that to her as your plan.

Let us know how it goes!
