One club event we've neglected to mention really (and we really should have) is the birth of the amazing Modular Weekly parties at Ditch in Shoreditch. Modular is the label home of some of our favourite electronic artists including The Presets, MSTRKFFT, Klaxons and Cut Copy, as well as looking after Jack Johnson & Yeah Yeah Yeahs. And when they put on a party, they rock it! Sure if you're not wearing skinny jeans,......

You Know I'm No Good. Amy Winehouse is a girl who makes us squeal out loud. When she released her first album, we foolishly dismissed her as nu-jazz and threw her into a skip with Katie Melua. Now as she crawls round London drunk unafraid to offend anyone who gets in her way and pulls off the best Never Mind The Buzzcocks performance we've ever seen, we realise how foolish we were - she's......

Here's the......
