    Cities we applaud

    Rotterdam - after coming from Am'dam, this place seemed so spacious, friendly and far from pretentious Berlin - so much going on and yet so much space Lisbon - does the faded grandeur thing really well and in summer is teaming with people out on the streets. A more boho version of Barcelona...

    Fuck London

    Interested in hearing what people think of this film particularly given Dissensus' London bias. Really appreciated it (the bleakness of the film means that it's hard to ENJOY it) but be interesting to hear people's opinion on how accurate a picture it paints of life out East (and I'm not talking...

    Brixton, London

    Cycled through Brixton a couple of times recently and found the place a shadow of its former self. Coldharbour Lane late on a Saturday morning and all the shop fronts had shutters down (presume shops closed down). This is a real sharp contrast to 7 or 8 years ago when Brixton felt like a mini...

    Liquid Liquid, Junior Boys and Optimo

    gig was fun...Sal P is a real entertainer on stage, not so much a talker but definitely with a bit of shaking of the hips. Crowd got progressively more into it but the usual 'composed' London audience.
