As London seems to be the best city in the world outside of Nashville to see quality twang, I go to quite a few gigs.
Also, music-wise, I like listening to Gideon Coe on BBC 6 Music, pretty much everything on WNCW and, of course, Bob Dylan's Theme Time Radio Hour.
I go to the pictures a fair bit too, though the rowdy audiences at the Holloway Road Odeon mean I rarely go to my local cinema.
I regularly write about a lot of other stuff I like at my blog, Carnival Saloon. | | Music | Bands: Wilco, The Broken Family Band, The Redlands Palomino Company, REM, The E-Street Band, Bright Eyes, Rachel Unthank & The Winterset, The Be Good Tanyas, Neutral Milk Hotel, The Ronettes, The Jayhawks, Chip Taylor & Carrie Rodriguez, Belly, The Hold Steady, The National, Bright Eyes, Au Revoir Simone, Grand Drive, Rilo Kiley, The Wave Pictures, Neutral Milk Hotel
