The London music scene seems to be on fire at the moment! I can't remember a time when there were more gigs to go to... In the last 10 days I've seen:

• Crystal Castles
• Danny Rapscallion of The Rapscallions
• Cardboard Radio
• Rosemary
• A jam session at the Macbeth
• Miss Odd Kid
• Middleman
• Sportsday Megaphone
• Metronomy
• Scout Niblett
• Bonnie Prince Billy

One interesting thing I noticed while putting together this list is that it didn't even occur to me to try and find the bands' own websites... I went straight to MySpace. MySpace has become the de facto standard for music urls - no mean feat. A lot of things about MySpace annoy me but I can't argue with how simple its made it for anyone and everyone to get themselves online.

Incidentally though - everyone should check out Metronomy. They're absolutely ace!
