Gig-going drought nearly over! I may go and see Death Cab for Cutie at Camden Monarch on Tuesday 12, and I'll definitely be at Delta + Kidd Dynamo in the same venue the following night.
Also in London on Wednesday 13 is the return of Cornershop (at the Scala) and a Strange Fruit night featuring Electrelane and Meanwhile Back in Communist Russia at 93 Feet East.

Isn't it funny how you don't notice some things until it's too late. Last week French composer Yann Tierson played the Royal Festival Hall on the strength of his soundtrack work on Amelie and the Dream Life of Angels, and I gave it a miss. I've only realised that he also wrote 'La Dispute' on Third Eye Foundation's recent remix album, which is enough reason for going to see him on its own! Oh well, maybe next time.
