If you like your art noisy, unconventional, mixed up with lots of other stuff, and against a whacky backdrop, and your music electronic and unpredictable, then this is one for you. Noise of Art is an umbrella label for a group of talented musicians under the loose leadership of founder Ben Osbourne. This performance (to celebrate the release of a new album, Picadilly Nite Version #1, this spring) sees them teamed up with the BFI......

It's a curtailed Troll this week, as, frankly, there isn't much exciting news in the world of TV. That predictable crowd-pleaser Brat Camp (Wed 9pm C4) is back, and the little treasures this year are just as toxically obnoxious as ever. Somehow, the tantrums of the kids in Rock School (Sun 9pm C4) are harder to take - mainly because for the kids involved, reality TV is giving them a path out of Lowestoft......

Hmmm did we miss the heavenly firework display that covered the Earth's atmosphere a few weeks ago? Should we be worried even now that the shuffling noise coming from the corridor is not just Will dragging his sack of fan mail into the office, but actually a carnivorous plant intent on giving us a good tongue lashing? A Day of The Triffids style light show is the only way we can rationalise that David......

It's proper gig going weather now, so no 'it's a shame to waste the nice weather' rubbish, get thee to a venue and immerse yourself in the glory of music. And then come back stinking of cigarette smoke because the girls next to you spend more time holding their fags in a posey manner near your face, instead of actually smoking them. Anyway, more details of a gig we mentioned on Wednesday. The Sways......

If, like Londonist, you're incredibly impatient when it comes to visiting websites that are running v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y, added to which you have a memory like one of those thingummies through which you sift flour, then you may have tried to download the latest Warchild album on the day of release, only to be frustrated by the downloading experience. Well, this is just a little reminder for you that Help: A Day In The Life......

As Michael once said: It doesn't matter if you're black or white. He forgot to add as long as you're rich but then again he never recorded a cover of I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles, no matter how much we pleaded. Although he has been under a lot of stress of late it's not stopping him from recording a star studded charity single for Hurrican Katrina Relief. No doubt with it's own benefit show to......

Help: A Day In The Life Anyone else spend the weekend battling with War Child's servers, trying to download Help: A Day In The Life? Frustrating as it was at times getting on that golden free server, the end result was a mostly satisfying always interesting collection of 22 tracks, recorded and released in just over 24 hours, that will make it's physical appearance in the record racks on the 26th September. Stripped of......

As the country attempts to break the record for the greatest number of non sports fans ever to bunk off work to watch a test match, a bunch of scruffy oiks (a.k.a musicians) are attempting to break another record, that of the fastest album ever recorded. As of midday today a host of bands, wherever they are in the world, entered the studio to record a track (either a new track, reworking or a......

First off congratulations to Annie Sullivan and Andy Lee who won the Kaibosh and Delta Blues competitions respectively. Prizes in the post. Soon as we get some stamps. So what have we learnt this week down in the Londonist music dungeon? Well we've learnt that it's not a good idea to be a photographer at a Britney Spears Baby Shower. We've learnt that David Gray is a little late at jumping onto bandwagons. We've......
