The single most amazingly Wap Wap Wah Victorian cockney-fest in cinematic history. This film is brilliant for the following reasons: Tommy Trinder is initially hired to sing in a South London pub for a salary of ‘Two halfs of half and half and a pork pie’; When he goes AWOL for days, drinking around Piccadilly, they’re referred to as ‘One of his sprees’; To free up his hands for a ‘dust up’, he delivers the immortal line Hold this puddin; Everybody drinks and smokes literally everywhere, morning noon and night; One of the songs contains the lyric: ‘What to do, all alone, only a horse for a chaperone’. I could go on.

In 1967, James Mason presented this film based on the writings of Geoffrey Fletcher. It’s a fascinating nose into some of the less familiar corners of London, with some great footage from the city of the 60s. The tap dancer you see in the film only died quite recently at the age of 97. I found this out from being an inveterate archive nerd. Read more

Craig Nunn takes wonderful pictures of all sorts of things. He took photos of me once. He somehow finds time to play in London lo-fi stalwarts Internet Forever, and be a primary school teacher. He calls himself Heartbeeps and he’s got a book out of his photos of India. Read more

On the rare occasions that I make it to London’s glitzy West London area, I like to show people these Fake Houses. Back in the days of underground steam engines, some parts of the track needed to be exposed for engines to let off steam. The residents of this fancy neighbourhood objected to a big pit nasty-ing up the terrace, so they built two fake houses. They’re only five feet thick, all the windows are blacked out, and there are no letterboxes in the concrete doors. Read more

We are blown away by the rich, vibrant, mystical, mischevious world of Australian artist Jason Howe, who ‘draws directly from a subconscious drenched in the hallucinogenic, technicolour imagery of Saturday morning cartoons’. His work was most recently on show at Sydney’s Monstrosity Gallery. Read more

Whenever I’ve had enough of the odd behavior that surfaces due to people being crammed on a train in New York, I check out Subway Douchery and start feeling better as I laugh along with the administrators of this site. It’s just something every New Yorker can relate to because, sometimes, the subway is a freak show. Read more
Austin band The Low Lows are one of my most prized finds of the year so far. It’s introspective music — staggered harmonies delivered by a distant, agonised voice that filters through a wall of tranquil guitar distortion and measured drumming. Every instrument carries a powerful emotion, sometimes keeping their distance from one another, floating up and around the airwaves, and other times colliding and crashing back to earth.

We’ve followed Sydney’s ZANEROBE from the sporty retro ‘Summer World Series’ collection to their beautifully cut, pure wool classic suits. ZANEROBE’s latest collection – Game Day, Sunday – represents an opulent collision somewhere between the two. The tailored outerware collection includes woolen duffles, leather bombers and wax-coated twill jackets, all with the typical ZANEROBE attention to detail in the texture, trim, fit and wash.
