Weekend reviewWent to International Student House on Friday for a gig, and to a good pub called The Albany, then to Winchester on Saturday to see MJ Hibbet, had a FOUR HOUR journey back from there because of the rail replacement bus service being caught up behind ... Darkness review<a href="http://www.clarkeology.com/m/7821/7821/Don%27t+Let+The+Bells+End">read my review of The Darkness Carling Homecoming here</a>... very good.Curry and Mouse PooTOP curry yesterday, went to Tayyab near Whitechapel, very good, queued right out the door, which makes a change from all the hustling you get on Brick Lane... had a few pints before in The Ten Bells, also well recommended.Note to self: Never, ever g... TayyabApparently authentic Pakistani food, absolutely bloody fantastic curry anyway, and well worth the enormous queue we had to get in on Saturday night.

Suede were amazingSo glad we went to the Astoria to see Suede on Saturday, they were fantastic. They played two sets, the first being all the non singles that they say they wanted to play - coincidentally it was all their best songs, all the songs they've been ignorin... Flat viewingsGot some viewings arranged for Monday morning in Folkestone, one 5 bed house, one 4 bed flat and the most expensive one is the smallest at 3 beds, but it looks very good, I just hope it's big enough... there's one just come on today, that's even MORE...

RE: Darkness Music Passport reviewMust have been standing right next to you - was also next to their parents last night!RE: The Cure reviewHi Would just like to say in response to the review i've just read by "Pauly" that it was an absolutely amazing gig to which i will probably never be so fortunate to attend anything of similar size again.

RE: The Cure reviewWell. what can I say about this? This is the sort of person who takes the place as a special gig instead of a true fan. The blokes a total liger.

Chris had big sunglass... Pixies reviewPixies were amazing last night at Brixton, could be one of the best gigs ever.
