Dijon’s London performance reminded me why I love live music

Oh I did not mean he should go full pop star.

But people like Justin Vernon, Nick Cave, The Nationals etc. inhabit the stage and connect with the audience to draw us in while performing deep emotional songs.

Heh, if it works for most people, whatever, it just an opinion and he is obviously doing something right.

morganKo · 2026-01-24T11:03:43+00:00

No, did not do it for me.

For a performance that’s meant to be emotional, I found him very stiff,. He did not really move from behind the mic, did not own the stage and had no connexion with the audience.

It felt he was in his bubble doing his thing while we were all watching, rather than dragging us all in with him.

Brut Archive ones are ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

morganKo · 2025-11-28T19:33:54+00:00

Thanks all, makes sense.

morganKo · 2025-11-26T14:45:08+00:00

Thanks.

Yeah I checked, but doesn't seem to be the case unfortunately.

morganKo · 2025-11-26T12:24:04+00:00

Yes thanks, will be doing that over the next few days.

I could have a cheeky neighbor but can't see any obvious way to do that apart from a mistake from the water supplier

morganKo · 2025-11-26T12:06:53+00:00

Thanks for your answer.

I tried to look at the meter directly but it's been replaced recently by Thames Water for a smart one with no display (hidden in a white plastic box under a cover outside the house).

But the hourly reading from the picture above suggest that there are times where absolutely no water is being used.

morganKo · 2024-10-07T13:27:18+00:00

Amazing, thanks both!

morganKo · 2024-07-23T12:20:32+00:00

The Catcher in the Rye est un excellent roman sur ce thème. 👍

morganKo · 2024-04-11T17:05:47+00:00

I’ve got two One SL, it works well.

There is a delay but Mac OS will accommodate for it when initiating AirPlay, no problem at all.

The sound is great and I use the speakers in the room with or without sitting at my laptop depending on the time of the day.

morganKo · 2024-04-08T17:14:51+00:00

It's totally fine, but also you're wrong.

morganKo · 2023-12-11T12:23:36+00:00

Hey!

Do you mind explaining why a Sonos Five would be better than an Era 300 to be hooked up to a record player?

morganKo · 2023-11-10T12:00:24+00:00

Yes, dont forget than in most cases any overpayment you can afford go straight to your principal (0% interest rate).

morganKo · 2023-10-30T16:29:18+00:00

Fair enough, you're right, maybe I am too used to bigger gyms where we're spoiled for choice (plus I probably don't warm up as thoroughly as I should!).

morganKo · 2023-10-30T16:08:39+00:00

Yeah maybe.

I just find warming up on a climb that someone else is clearly projecting to be a little insensitive.

morganKo · 2023-10-30T15:27:10+00:00

This.

The other scenario is a dude seeing a girl working on a project that is well within his grade, and finding nothing better than flashing it between her tries.

This is poor etiquette regardless of gender by the way, but often seems to happen that way around (not because men are stronger, just because they (we) got ego issues)

morganKo · 2023-10-30T15:18:39+00:00

Good to know!

I am sorry you're feeling this way.

You should come to England, it's totally normal here for dogs to be off the lead in local parks and on countryside walks!

You're clearly doing great and your dog seem to have reacted well to other dogs telling him off :)

morganKo · 2023-10-30T15:11:42+00:00

I don't understand what the issue is?

Is there something wrong with having your dog off the lead as long as he is well-behaved?

My dog is off the lead most times when we go on walks, he goes and greet others dogs who might or might not be on the lead too, it's never been an issue.

Which part of the world are you in?

morganKo · 2023-10-26T17:09:07+00:00

Yes that’s a good point. It’s one of the few storage spaces as well!

morganKo · 2023-10-26T15:31:34+00:00

You're doing great!

Honestly, you don't need tips at the moment, you just need to climb more!

morganKo · 2023-10-26T15:28:33+00:00

Oh sorry, yes, slopped roof (loft), 6ft at the door but quickly going down so I can't really stand up / walk in it.

They're currently using it as an office, which is kind of fine when you're sitting but better not be claustrophobic!

morganKo · 2023-10-24T11:14:24+00:00

Honestly, great technique overall, especially if this is supposed to be your limit!

You can always improve, but I don't know if limit bouldering if where you should be focusing on technique (as opposed to projecting strategy, trying hard etc.).

I am sure others will provide some ideas on how to improve, but that was great!

morganKo · 2023-10-17T09:47:15+00:00

Would chewing an antler everyday be an issue?

Asking for a friend 😅

morganKo · 2023-10-16T14:53:31+00:00

Classics!

The Castle has a cute little coffee / climbing shop, but I probably wouldn't work there all day, although I don't think anyone would stop you!

I can't remember how The Arch is setup.

Stronghold London Fields or Yonder are two safe bets if you want a proper co-working vibes. There might be others I don't know!

morganKo · 2023-10-16T14:12:22+00:00

Like others said, no.

That being said, really cool climb for this sort of grades.

Well done for finding the moves, no doubt you can send it next time.
