Well, good to know they were happy enough with how it went in August to try it again. And as somebody that lives near Milton Keynes, another day for me to look forward to traffic congestion. -
I saw St Vincent in London in June and despite a horrific stomach ache from something bad I'd eaten earlier in the day, I thought she was wicked. So I would like to see her again sans stomach problem. Is she enough to entice me over to Lisboa? Probably not. This was one I really wanted to come too as I like the city and hear great things about the event, but it's just not clicking into place the way I was hoping for. Ah well.

Why was the Annie Mac set so bad? On paper I’d have thought she was perfect for it. -
Would that it were so simple eh? According to this piece, there are an estimated 700,000 empty houses in the UK, of which around 250,000 have been empty for 6 months or more, but the process of being able to actually requisition these back is a pain in the arse. There's no legal ability for a council to just go "You didn't lose it so you lost it", and many might not have the money to do that anyway. Although even if you got the 250k-odd back in circulation, that probably isn't going to be enough anyway given a decade or so plus of underinvestment in the housing sector. I say this as someone who lives between Oxford and Cambridge, in an area of high house and even high rental prices so am aware the wriggle room isn't really there. I'm perfectly aware an economy based on endless growth is unsustainable but clearly as a species we're not yet in a position to have an honest chat on zero-growth economics by design and what that would require to work.
