Hoodoo Gurus… of Blood!

Hoodoo Gurus
Hoodoo Gurus ticket from London
Driving down to London from Yorkshire listening to Concerto for Choppers (Part III) it strikes me that putting “…of blood” at the end of nearly anything to create a ‘Cult Movie’.

Here a few that leap to mind:

Circuit of Blood! A speedway tracks holds the terrible secrets of one man and one hundred dead riders.

Wake of Blood! Dennis and Sandy never bargained for terror when they chose their holiday on the Norfolk Broads!

Dinnette of Blood! You are today’s special when Mickey the fry cook comes to play.

Blancmange of Blood! When five restaurant reviewers come together to test Translyvania’s greatest chef, can anyone survive The Blancmange of Blood!?

Saw the Hoodoo Gurus, superb live band… More later.

Moscow A Back Yard Gallery

Moscow 1001

(Petrovka Street) from my hotel and, having passed a superb general store that was packed with meats, cheeses, cakes and pastries, each served from a counter by one or two actual people, I found an art gallery. Turns out it was the Moscow Museum of Modern Art (Petrovka Gallery). In its free-to-enter yard was this. Not just this, but a whole lot of other sculptures. A good thing for many reasons, not the least of which was that inside the museum only one floor was open. But I only discovered that later.

First batch of pix from Moscow trip in 2010 Рslightly less zoomed detail.  This one was taken on the first day I got to Moscow. I wandered up the road (Petrovka Street) from my hotel and, having passed a superb general store that was packed with meats, cheeses, cakes and pastries, each served from a counter by one or two actual people, I found an art gallery.
