    Tokyo and Osaka

    find London not the most outwardly friendly place as far as meeting random strangers...obviously different if person you meet is via mutual friend or other medium (eg online forum, event etc)

    Congos in London

    I see the Congos are playing in London at Hootananny tomorrow...does anyone have any idea what they would be like live (old favourite but worried they might be somewhat over ripe)

    Tokyo and Osaka

    thanks for all your advice...turned out to be a much more velo than music flavoured trip. Definitely got the gaijin feeling - not so much stared at, more a case of being actively ignored/being invisible to strangers - made even London seem like a "friendly place". That said met some lovely...

    PsychoBuildings @ the Hayward

    would strongly suggest going on a weekday or early on a weekend morning as queues can be pretty horrendous for some of the exhibits. Had a fun time with some of the more immersive pieces

    cycling to work in London

    love my ride to work...the mix of adrenalin and endorphins on the ride home is often the highlight of my day and has led to cycling becoming one of my extra curricular passions alongside music. Would reaffirm the view that it is a good idea to cycle aggressively ie cycling at traffic speed and...

    Music Journalists

    Looking for suggestions on who are the most frequerntly read music journalists currently among youth audiences...not necessarily looking for the ones who are the most interesting (Reynolds, Frere-Jones etc), just the ones that are likely to have the greatest reach. Problem I'm finding is that...

    Calling Woebot et al... I need an URGENT highlife primer

    was one of the Soundway compilations that got me bopping my head but am keen to go and see it played out rather than simply jumping around in my lounge

    Calling Woebot et al... I need an URGENT highlife primer

    ...in London anyone know where you are likely to find highlife and related sounds played out in London? listened to some last night and had a mad urge to wiggle to it surrounded by a crowd of people doing likewise

    TuneGlue

    given Last.fm's involvement, I think you can safely assume that linkages are based on other listeners' habits rather than the nature of the musical content.

    TuneGlue

    Yet another website looking at relations between different artists - powered by Last.fm and Amazon - worth a play http://clients.onyro.com/tuneglue/ good for a dose of time wasting

    films you've seen recently and would NOT recommend

    LA Takedown - seen Heat and enjoyed and I gathered it is Mann's remake of this film. The two whilst similar in plot are worlds apart in terms of execution. Feels like a bad 80s TV cop programme

    When did Australians become hated?

    Find Australians (males in particular) less 'encumbered' by matters such as political correctness. This is something of a gross generalisation and I know plenty of Australian liberals who don't fit this mould but I would argue that there is a 'live for the day' mentality which can rile people...
