For Akemi in the Arndale and La:La Vol.2, Artist and filmmaker Ric Jones Did a small installation Entitled “Things i never said” filled with luggage tags with things he had never said at certain moments when he really should have. Some tags were left blank for people to fill out themselves. Here are what some people wrote:
“how can you be doing this to me”
“i dont like this”
“thats a nice Walrus”
“your dick is weirdly thin”
“I Want to kill Justin Bieber By setting him on fire”
“I really love all of you guys you make me feel really lucky”

Age of Glass:If you came down to the last La:La at the contact then you would have caught their blinding set… hence they are back:
Butcher The Bar: (pictured) There’s a subtlety and honesty to this music that’ll keep you returning to it for a good long while. Highly Recommended - Boomkat Butcher Also happens to have an album out the same day. Check him:
