Soz for the double post, but I'll be staying in London next July, do you have any subculturally significant places for me to visit? Can be shops, pubs, museums, clubs you name it.

If your musical tastes go early enough and you are able to go far enough from the centre, there is the Eel Pie museum. No idea how good it is but I am staying near it soon so intend having a look.

New Rhoda Dakar album is out and it's really above my expectations. Classic reggae/ska/rocksteady versions of pop and rock songs done right!

Brilliant, I adore Patsy Cline, and Rhoda. When I traveled as a kid I had a handful cassettes. Patsy, Toots and the Maytals, Bob Marley, and the Vandals was played most often.

I thought the fella in the video was Chico Buarque at first

Carnaby Street and Soho were the haunts of the original Mods, It's been a good twenty years since I last visited "The Smoke" but there are shops like John Simons' and clubs like Ronnie Scott's still in business as far as I know.

The subcultural experience in London is very anaemic these days, places like Camden Stables.

Yeah John Simons is a must I reckon.

Bought one of those Beach Boys style BDs for the summer.
Hollister (removed the pocket with logo)
'Made in Vietnam', which is weird, because I thought 'Charlie don't surf'

I like this Inkss. And well done for removing the pocket I also do this whenever I can.
I get the Beachboys reference - with narrower stripes it also puts me in mind of Bond visiting Largo at Palmyra in Thunderball.

Currently wearing a Norse Projects nonBD with narrow stripes. I am finding cotton and linen shirts more comfortable in warmer weather than polo and t-shirts. I think it is the feel of the collar.

Been after a 'Milestones' green BD for a while. Found a Made in England St Michael one for sale and bought it. Unfortunately not flat green oxford, but a sort of tonic-ish/sharkskin.

It'll do for now.
