saw him leap upon the bar and start reciting some poem about substances in one bar,the great eastern

Hipsters are ruining Deptford and Peckham.

Those, the expensive records and the guitars will probably sort me out for a year...

My ex was paying off the mortgage for a year thanks to my records and art books collection when I forgot to return home from holidays in sunny London.

The other partner in the studio moved to Ramsgate in an attempt to bring flat whites, cupcakes, craft beer and clanky indie pop to the far Kent coast. If the regular mentions of his cafe, recording studio and live music venue I hear on 6music are anything to go by... he's getting it done too.

He's an old friend, one half of the indie-pop geniuses behind one of my favourite bands: http://hexicon.bandcamp.com/ he now plays drums in Allo Darlin' and with Darren Hayman.

He ran Soup studios http://www.soupstudio.co.uk/ in Hanbury St. with Simon Trought until they got booted out of the basement of the Uke shop.

Mikey's long term plan was to open a new residential studio with a cafe attached in Ramsgate. Not sure how the studio's coming on but the Cafe and music venue seem to be getting on well.

Marc Riley's always been a fan of Hayman and the Wave Pictures (another Fortunapop family connection) for ages but has recently latched onto Allo Darlin' as well and has been down to several gigs and been on about it on the radio. I wish them the best of luck with it all.

Mark riiiaaaaaleh? Ugh
