More Aircraft…

Posted by listenhear on 17th August 2008

I’ve been busy holed up all weekend recording things for my next show. The trouble I’ve had is being distracted by a stream of historical military aircraft flying over my flat and down the coast on their way to Eastbourne Air Show. Now, despite having my trusty and dog-eared I-Spy book of aeroplanes handy, I was unable to successfully identify any of them…oh well…  :>)

Helicopter

Posted by listenhear on 9th August 2008

I’m not sure what was going on but the Sussex Police helicopter was hovering above my flat for an awful long time this evening…..

Thunderstorm, Brighton

Posted by listenhear on 7th August 2008

Yesterday evening, on the day I had my roof repaired. 

Another one of the great things about living by the sea is watching storms approach over the horizon. 

Not brilliant, recorded hastily, with rain eventually hitting everything…the courtyard behind my flat with refrigeration and aircon from the local bars working overtime…got soaked…fun….managed some better recordings from my flat later, but you’ll probably have to see a show of mine to ever hear them :)

Brighton Parade

Posted by listenhear on 3rd August 2008

2nd August 2008 

For once the weather forecast was correct. Brighton is famous for many things, not least this…..

On a warm but drizzly day thousands paraded through Brighton, as always it was a magnificent sight and thankfully no one seemed that bothered about the weather. I have little (actually no) choice but to enjoy the parade as it passes just feet away from my flat. I’m glad it does.

Although, if I have one complaint, it is this - the amount of really naff, badly tuned sound systems, volume is everything it seems, but…! I can put up with the floats having poor sound but not the bars and cafés who have no excuse…..The worst offender this year was surely The Dorset, one of my favourite hang outs, in the North Laines area….I’ve never witnessed such a bad sounding system…..ever….not only bad but also painfully loud….loud is great, but such poor quality isn’t…not a great combination guys…whoever hired you that system? Ask for your money back.

Merry-Go-Round (Carousel)

Posted by listenhear on 30th July 2008

Once again the BBC weather forecast is way of the mark…..very warm and sunny, not the promised clouds and rain, it happens all the time now…

The Merry-Go-Round (Carousel) on Brighton seafront is one of the few traditional seaside rides left in the town. Always popular. The organ goes horribly wrong around 3′04″.

As I was walking home this evening I was just struck by the noise of this Brighton Beach bar. Quiet drink anyone?

Brighton Pier and other stuff.

Posted by listenhear on 26th April 2008

Today (Saturday 26th) is the first warmish day of the year and the seafront was unbelievably packed with day trippers. I decided to take a walk along the pier, I enjoy the naffness of it all, but much like everywhere else on a Saturday (and as you’ll perhaps hear), it is, as always, a mecca for young drunk Englishmen. The British yob culture continues to get out of control.

Sunday Morning…continued

Posted by listenhear on 19th February 2007

But, as always I manage to get back to sleep…until someone decides it would be a good idea to have a parade along the seafront…I love living in Brighton, but you know sometimes, just sometimes, it would be nice to get some sleep on a Sunday morning:)

Sunday Morning…

Posted by listenhear on 19th February 2007

So, I’m used to the gentle underscore of the refrigeration and aircon sounds produced by the clubs and pubs around my flat, but then this happens, at first light and after a late Saturday night….natures wake up call
