Slow Wolf have their bodies in London and their heads in a distant country. With three Scots and a partially devolved English rhythm section, they range from intimate acoustic sets to a stomping full band. Definitely one to watch.

Some pretty cool high res photographs of 1949 London have appeared over on Retronaut. The series is mostly photos of one street, which shows everything from fashion to architecture. Most interesting to me is the lit up advertisements on the sides of the buildings. What a great way to take a look at the past.

Owen Gatley, an illustrator based in Berlin, has made some wonderful maps of London, Paris and New York. Using symbols to show where major landmarks such as London’s Big Ben and New York’s Statue of Liberty are, Gatley has created a unique view of the famous cities. The maps were featured in the Luck issue of Ideas Illustrated. We wonder if anyone’s used them to get around the cities?

Graffiti and street art have always been transient forms of self-expression. Deemed by many to be mere acts of vandalism, the artists’ work generally exists only for a very short period of time (unless we’re talking Banksy, Bambi or Roa), before being washed away in the next public clean-up.

Living in London is great, but it’s not when you live so south that people start to question that its actually London and not the countryside. West Norwood is one of those places. It’s lovely but it’s certainly not Dalston or Hoxton. That’s why its nice that it has a coffee shop that sells quality coffee, so [...]

I came across Jenni Sparks’ illustrated map of London and was blown away by it. The time and effort in the research is impressive enough, but then the quirky illustrative style really made me want it. And be back in London.

Working in a ‘poetic and melancholic post-situationalist tradition’, London-based artist Robert Montgomery hijacks billboards to create pieces that challenge modern society, fame, advertising, and our consumerist culture.
