Hot Leg Review - first Hot Leg Review EVER?

Was as we expected, maybe hotter, certainly smellier than I would have liked. We spent the evening secretly wishing they would play some songs that we knew - not necessarily Darkness songs, but maybe some cheeky covers, tipping their hat to their ref...

A friend's comments on the Camden fire

Here, brings back some memories, though I've not been there for longer even than he's not been there. Clare was actually there last night, struggling to get to a friend's club night at The Enterprise, but the only kind of burned she would have got wa...

Los Angeles

So, we sadly had to leave Santa Barbara, and we drove on down to LA... Was a bit intimidated at the thought of driving in LA, I've only driven London once or twice before and that was a long time ago, mostly I've only done gentle village roads. The j...

Hmm, having no joy tracking down the full 100 of Time Out's best london gigs chart they did last issue, but prompted by a thread on PopExcellent I've had a think about my top five gigs... I'm sure I'll think of more later and strike these out...1. Bl...

Johnny Borell & the drummer from Razorlight

About a month ago on Camden high street. They were sitting in the back of a really cool American 1950's convertable. Don't know who was driving. They had the top down and the music was really loud. They were both wearing t-shirts and Johnny was weari...

Gazza

I was in Camden market (antiquey bit) on Sunday and sitting outside Chris Evans' stall (saw him too but not that interesting) was Gazza. He was smoking a fag and had a starbucks coffee. How skinny is that man now?

Graham Coxon

Dashed in to Cafe Nero in Camden on Saturday and who was ahead of me in the queue but Mr Coxon. He was with with his cute little girl buying coffee and muffins. We said hello and he was friendly but shy.

Stoke Newington? Edgy?Hahahahahaahaha! Have they visited Harlesden lately? Or Peckham?Mind you, I have only ever been to N16 about four times. Ever. It's actually pointless trying to sum up bits of London like that. There's little bits to suit everyo...

Rik Mayall

Saw him on Sunday walking passed M&S clutching a brown satchel to his chest like his life depended on it. Quite grey and wearing a red flowery shirt.

Jarvis Cocker

At the Regina Spektor gig watching the support act The Earlies.

bobby gillespie

He was running past sainsbury's waving madly at someone on the other side of the world, looked like he was in very good shape.

Carl Libertine

I saw him walking past Pret on Camden High Street about a week and a half ago, he looked very attractive and i hadn't really thought he was particularly sexy before then. He was chatting on his mobile phone.
