Life Outside The Box: Carfree in Brighton & Hove, and Beyond

Not owning a car is a great way to stay fit, save money, and avoid loads of hassle. This is a blog with thoughts, photos, ideas and links about carfree life: walking, active travel, public transport, places and spaces - things that matter to everyone, but even more when you don’t own a car. Photos are by me unless credited. Forthcoming: book on carfree life. Meantime, get in touch via email at carfreelifeoutsidethebox@gmail.com or Twitter @carfreebrighton

‘Two sides to every story.’ Quite possibly.

A walk into Brighton to see PiL last night. Apart from the drizzly stomp from home to Dome, this post has nothing to do with walking - PiL were avant garde in 1978….and in 2013, they still are.

Travelling Without Wheels or Wings: Sufjan Stevens at Brighton Dome

Sufjan Stevens, known for his (abandoned) project to produce an album for each of the states of the union, took Saturday’s audience at Brighton Dome on an extraordinary journey. From his original acoustic/folk/rock roots, Sufjan now seems to be travelling with Sun Ra, The Pet Shop Boys, Teardrop Explodes, Rufus Wainwright and the Flaming Lips, propelled by electronica, brass and beats. The show swerved from solo voice + piano, to full-on electronic pomp, delivered with dancers, day-glo outfits, a teach-in on African American intergalactic naïve artist Royal Robertson, and a constantly stunning light show. Unquestionably, a Great Escape.
