London's top record shops?

Posted by The_Suit about 1 year ago
Last active about 1 year ago 11 responses

I quite like my music, however up until recently, I’d been content to purchase my CDs online or from Fopp, believing ‘proper’ record stores were the preserve of scary music snobs and/or vinyl purists who would have me shot on sight for even mentioning CDs. That’s all changed in the last co...

Burn Soo Bright - indie/Britpop dancing and fun on Friday 4th May

Posted by Allie about 1 year ago
Last active about 1 year ago 33 responses

Do you like Britpop? We do! We thought there was a distinct lack of good indie/Britpop club night action in London (most of the indie nights are on Tuesdays or Wednesdays – not good when you’re meant to be a sensible adult with a job!) so we decided to start our own club and play by our own rules. That m...

If you are at a loose end this Friday, have an urge to see a band named after badly dubbed films, or simply wish to get another look at my fabulous headphones (that seems to imply more than it was meant to), then come and see Hong Kong Cinema at the Camden Barfly. You can see a video of their last gig at the Isl...

To mark the start of Operation Tiffanie (the Met’s campaign against hugger-muggers in the West End), we’re going for a Crime and Punishment theme this month. Nope, that doesn’t mean a night of songs for hanging around in a gloomy flat being all introspective (chuh, if you read books you’d get...

For our second Burn Soo Bright of 2008, we’re going for a ‘music about music’ theme. That’s songs that mention band names, instruments, musical styles or anything else to do with music – think ‘She Bangs the Drums’, ‘Rock & Roll Star’ and ‘Pumping on yo...

Not been to this night at King’s college for a while. I heard it shut for a bit but has now reopened. Has anybody been since the smoking ban? For, I can’t really imagine the stairs between each cigarette.

I should not KOKO

So far, 2008, has seen me spend more time in KOKO than I’d care to own up to. Now, I like KOKO. Club NME has some very good bands playing, even if the crowd leaves a lot to be desired. I’m also a lover of Button Down Disco. That said, I’m sure there’s more to life and indie clubs than s...
