A weekend in the bubble that is Stroud. Attended NeoAncients –
lots of music and motivating talks that connected politically and galvanised my
soul. In terms of sound shout out to Haress, Smote, Dawn Terry, The Last
Sacrifice. The great talks - Staying Analogue in the Age of Distraction -
Andrew Smith. Megalithic Portal x Megalithic Imperative - Andy Burnham + Neil
Mortimer + Patricia Brien, check out the website – megalithic.co.uk Visions of
the Occult - Victoria Jenkins. Common People - Stephen Ellcock + Leah Gordon
with Maxine Peake. Don’t forget The Museum of Roadside Magic and The People’s
Pyramid Mummification Van. Generally a time of making connections between the ideas in
the books Common People, England on Fire and Trespass, the over 5000 government
acts that make up the Enclosures Act, its relationship to the slave trade,
working people, the landed gentry and Sizewell operations. Fave notes – meme magic,
merky territory, ghosts in the liminal spaces. Onto screens – Hypnotic –
great idea shame about the music, script, acting, camera work and editing.
