Battersea Power Station

Sunday, August 31st, 2008

This weekend we took advantage of getting close this iconic London building, while it is still open to the public before its major reconstruction.

Who would think that power station could be that beautiful? Built in 1939, it is maaaaassive, reminds me of a huge ship (Titanic? ;), and it’s Art Deco all around (my favorite :).
It’s been out of use for decades and it is such a shame to see its decadence. Well at least it will not demolished, but will become a part of a new to-be-fantastic development. But for now what you see is an abandoned monster. Beautiful monster.

The next picture was taken on a completely different occasion, but I thought I would add it.

Juvelen - 1

Juvelen - 1 - CD cover

Genre : Pop/Electro

The other (pretty gloomy, I guess) day I was asked to play some gay (ie happy) music at the office. So I played Juvelen, an artist I had discovered recently on last.fm. Few minutes later i received an email saying it was ‘too gay’. Doh!

Well yeah, sometimes people are surprised it is actually a guy :) The sound is quite unique and… cheesy, sometimes. So it’s probably you either love it or hate it. I was not sure what to think myself when was listening to the album for the first time. But you give it a chance. Or two. I needed two. Now it’s stuck in my head. Typical.

The video below is not to the best song from the album (to my taste), but it will give you an idea. Listen to the others on myspace.
