Sophie Dahl and Jamie Cullum : does size matter?
What is your honest opinion about tall girls who date short boys and still wear high hills? I think that Jamie Cullum likes them since he went out at Hampton Court Palace with Sophie Dahl who is a head taller than him. But after all they are engaged! The model was the good example for what is called Large while the pianist Cullum was like the Little one at Raisa Gorbachev Foundation Fourth Annual Fundraising Gala Dinner. Sophie is a six footer while Jamie is just 5'6" . But maybe they tried to...

Mixtape: PHOTO
The rough trade counter culture compilation of 2008 is a cassette with a USB stick inside it. I was actually disappointed to see that it wasn't a tape. I used to worship my tape collection, the mixtapes especially, recorded for me by friends and girlfriends. I still have a few at my parent's house and I'm going to try and dig out those musical relics and love them again. Send me some pictures of your old mixtapes or some old tracklistings and we can reminisce together.

It didn’t end well for them
It feels incredibly strange to wake up on a gig morning and not have those usual reflexes to draw upon. I've been out of the game of regular "gigging" for over a year now for some self-imposed re-grouping and to give myself space to work on the new record. Tonight however I accepted an offer from Mr. Clint Eastwood to play at the Monterey Jazz Festival now in to its 51st year as one of the great Jazz Festivals of the world. I toyed with the idea of saying no, on the grounds of not...

"J"
 I dropped a hefty hardback edition of Murakami's "Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman" on my computer the other day and it severed the "J" key from my computer's keyboard. I started off being annoyed and chastised the book severely. After realising however that the key actually works fine I became strangely attached to my slightly battered looking machine with its missing "J", another battle scar in our 4 year history that marks itself out amongst the other laptops in the coffee...

Jamie Cullum - I'm All Over It
Clint Eastwood is cool: he was cool as a Young Buck chewing cigar butts and he’s still cool as a wiry pensioner. It would take something monumentally uncool to dent this – like, say collaborating with Jamie the jazz-gonk Cullum. But though their closing credits dirge from Gran Torino was justly derided [easy now, you know that was ACE - ed], Cullum’s All Over It Now is more appetising, if only because it doesn’t threaten any iconic reputations. “Hello innocence,...

No specific destination
I did the London Skyride yesterday. Days off are rare at the moment; even rarer are those that allow me to simply ride my ancient bicycle with no specific destination in mind. After lunch near Marble Arch with a friend I freewheeled it along to speaker's corner to hear some semi-sane ravings for old time sake. I used to be addicted to Speaker's Corner. Whilst half listening to a man warn of The Robots impending takeover I noticed hundreds of people wearing yellow jerseys with the words...

Trainee Storm Troopers
I feel like I am gradually being integrated back into society. Life is so different to how it was about two months ago. 18 months on the road now seems like a bizarre and wonderful dream that happened to some other guy. It suits me though, for now. I've been ingesting all London has to offer for the first time - gigs, movies, theatre, raves and general city-dwelling antics. I've also rediscovered how to plant my lazy ass on the sofa and watch a wide variety of shit tv. I also...
