Subtitled 'An ode to the Hawley Arms' this catchy tune by OllyTheOctopus speculates on the possible causes and fallout from the recent conflagration. How will Kate Moss cope with the loss, and will Quinn's down the road, cope with the load? Pertinent questions, but we're most tickled by the notion that 'Noel Fielding's impractical clothes, stopped him getting to the hose'. A work of minor genius.......

Fed up of the froth, mirth and sentimentality of the Yuletide muzak yet? To bring you an antidote and alternative soundtrack for your Christmas holidays we caught up with the utterly charming Roi Robertson of Mechanical Cabaret over a sorbet and peppermint tea and ruminated on the band's latest single, pastoral London views and the fact that we've never seen him and Noel Fielding in the same room together... Who's in the band? I......

Damien Hirst has made the Tate's Christmas by gifting them 4 of his art works. The infamous cow and calf bisected and suspended in formaldehyde, "Mother and Child Divided" is the Turner Prize winning crowning glory.

They have a lot to prove tonight. Within 30 seconds of taking to the stage lead singer Guy......

Londonist's favourite electro-punk outfit Robots in Disguise are headlining Club Eat Your Make Up this Thursday, a new club night which promises sleazy indie and electro-trash in abundance. If the name Robots in Disguise is new to you, then you may recognise them from their numerous cameo appearances in The Mighty Boosh, as The Electro Girls, and The Goth Girls. In fact, Noel Fielding himself is an occasional live-only band member. We've had a......

Turn right out of Colliers Wood tube, walk up the road for about two minutes, and you'll find GJs bar and restaurant. And if you happen to pass by on the second Thursday of the month then you'll find one fo the capitals' best comedy nights: Roar with Laughter. The last time Londonist visted we were still chuckling a week later, so we went back and asked compere Sweaty Dave (that's him pictured... as......
