    FACT Magazine

    Had a look for a thread on this one but couldn't find it...really like it, it's enough to whet my appetite but also leave me wanting for more, the ups and downs of its brevity I guess. I loved the format particularly when it came out in the original record sleeve and its coverage runs a nice...

    bike rides you have enjoyed.

    there's an old abandoned rail line between Finsbury Park and Highgate that's been turned into a walking/cycling path. Really nice escape London as you don't have too many signs of being in London...just wouldn't advise cycling down it at night (trees block most of London's light pollution)...

    Budapest

    would have to add my recommendation for the city...does the whole 'faded grandeur' thing pretty well although i get the feeling that the city is changing fast. i definitely see the Berlin comparison although things are changing there at such a rate that i'm not sure how long these comparisons...

    GRIME- breaking news, gossip, slander, lies etc

    > i would imagine fear of the 'hoodie wearing proles' among venues and promoters at least as far as Shoreditch and the like goes (which is largely where the middle classes go to slum it a bit imho)...

    luomo-vocalcity

    It's been a while since I've had a good listen to the album...I do remember seeing Luomo and Isolee play at Sonar after the release of the album some years ago and being rewired from total jungilist to something a lot more open to techno/house...and this was after a long period of ambivalence...

    Berlin - whither should I go?

    I've heard that the Week-end club (http://www.week-end-berlin.de/) gets a mixed reputation at times (crowd being somewhat aloof) but the space with some amazing views on three sides including across Alexanderplatz. beats black painted walls in a basement and there programming seems pretty...

    Carnival Action

    Anybody got any thoughts to share on Carnival...had a great time bumping along to some of the roots sound systems although would have loved to have caught some other sounds than the usual assortments. Found it quite interesting watching the crowd - fun and not too much aggro but you get the...

    bank holiday

    TDK Bank Holiday Gig Went to the TDK thing last year, proved a bit more of a struggle, everyone struggling to get in to certain spaces to catch particular acts (and resulting in some rather frustrated punters)...would be great if they could use the outdoor courtyard space later in the evening...

    traum/trapez in london this saturday

    caught Steve Barnes which varied from inspired to by the numbers...unfortunately was in no state to hang around and catch much of Triple R. Number of attendees was rather disappointing - am hoping the promoters didn't get too burned. Must say, whilst Barden's Boudoir seems to have some a lot...

    RIAA getting nasty

    Hoping that the case of Mondo Kims getting busted is a one off instance as would hate to see mixtapes become less available than they already are http://www.catchdubs.com/old/2005_06_01_index.html#111835535772039518
