The lecturer has been spending October in Brussels, Ghent, Lyon, Barcelona, Madrid, Toledo, Malaga, Cordoba, Granada, Montpellier, Milan, Venice, Innsbruck, Vienna...
Glad you got to see the Plan K. I mentioned that on one of your Facebook posts. October 16, 1979 was an important day for Joy Division, as it was their first gig outside of England. Great setlist, with some early versions of songs like "Love Will Tear Us Apart" and "Twenty-Four Hours." Indeed, it was Ian who got told off by Burroughs for wanting a free book. He took it badly, by all accounts! XD Never knew The Beast with Three Backs was recorded in Brussels! Very cool fun fact :D
Another triumph of a vid, thank you! You glancingly referred to nice food there Momus - what's the best meal you ever had, and can it still be obtained?
wow....visual sensory overload. ps. Brought a smile to me re: Operation Twilight.... my cherished Thick Pigeon singles and Ghost of Christmas compilations.
Sad to see Europe become succumb to this new flavor of fascism. Smart men instead of strong men, and hopefully less bloody. But still dehumanized by technocrats.
Pleased to learn you're visiting one of the conservative Visegrád Group of countries, momasu --- The Czech transformation from state socialism to capitalism has been a great success and why your stay there will be cheaper than previous locations.
I find these Open Universities to be so oddly relaxing to watch....
You should come to Toulouse, la ville rose!

Enjoy these travelogue entries of the OU. Is the lecturer's photostream available to browse elsewhere?
Yes! imomus.tumblr.com
Glad to see these back! And this one is very well timed, I'm headed to Malaga in a couple of weeks. Any places there I should stop at?
