So. Freakin'. Cool.
I really, really have to go
here :) I especially like the part of the article which talks about Holler's previous installations, including "
Frisbee House (2000) - a room full of frisbees". The man is clearly a genius.

A quick survey.
Jarvis Cocker - cool or uncool? So uncool he's cool, perhaps? Just saw the illustrious Mr Cocker play at a film shoot for channel 4's Album Chart show at
Koko (one of my favourite London venues, also saw
Brakes and
Lemar) and though I really enjoyed his set I was struck by the fact that the audience didn't really respond to him. He's so awkward-looking that your eyes are kind of glued to him the entire time he performs, in the same way you would slow down on the freeway to see a car crash...so what do you think?

We Are [indeed] Scientists
Saw
We Are Scientists play the Brixton Academy last night. I really like the venue (it is a weird old theatre famous for having sloping floors so that even short people can see when standing in the stalls) and I
love the band. Especially the part where they did a karaoke version of
End of the Road for their encore. So hot.

Lily Allen.
Went and saw Lily Allen play the London Astoria tonight for the last gig of her tour, and can I just say that any girl who can
rhyme 'Tesco' with 'alfresco' is alright with me.
