Link to PJ Harvey's review fit and working again, thanks Iain!

Completely forgot about BEYOND NASHVILLE at the Barbican, most of this weekend and various events til Nov 12th. The big one tonight is sold out (Kurt Wagner, Howe Gelb, Kristin Hersh etc) but there are some free events over the weekend. Lincoln and Oh Susanna are on now, Willard Grant Conspiracy are playing for free after 11.30pm, Barbican level 1. Mark Mulcahy is also doing something tomorrow afternoon.

Birthday part 1: fireworks at Alexandra Palace, then some drinking. It's as simple as that!
