Mind you, I do that while I'm in Glasgow too. I don’t know, JC, I was casting envious eyes at some of the gigs coming up there in the coming weeks. Mind you, I do that while I’m in Glasgow too.

The one thing I find strange about London given the size of the place is how few of its bands I truly love in comparison to the likes of Manchester and Glasgow. Love the Cinerma cover version.. Thanks for the mention!!!

It's strange: one person after another just fed up with the expense and the number of people.

I must say that I think Lilly Allen's "LDN" gets it just about right. ;-) I spent ten years in that city. Loved it at first, then got ground down by the pace, the atrocious public transport system (great network, but it doesn't work), the astronomical cost of living, the grime, and the tiny living spaces. But then again I've come to suspect that my destiny is to progressively downsize the urb in which I live. Born & raised in New York, swapped for Washington DC, then Cambridge (the blip on the curve), then London, and now Vancouver. I shall probably die in a yurt somewhere in the outskirts of Olgii, Mongolia... Lahndahn…
