NUC: The Deptford Project, Deptford

Saturday rained, Sunday did not. Saturday's café notes from Deptford is at Canary Magazine, which is down the digital street on a South East London server. Canary is good because 1. it's not oversaturated with content; 2. it's set out clearly; 3. it's got intelligent, creative articles which aren't dumbed down or formulaic and boring, and are instead embellished with such delights as Freud, existentialism and class war; 4. it's got stuff about stuff that I might be interested in - art and music and film and other random thoughts, little twists on everyday life; 5. it seems to have a voice - a Canary voice, if you will - that has a particular mood and direction (lose this at your peril...); 6. it's hoping to go to print which is way retro (physical things are cool); 7. it's got me in it, bestowing to me the semblance of legitimacy.
