How long have you lived in London? Since 25th October 2005.

Favorite London venue? After giving my brain some exercise to think about what my fave venue is, I can only say that I don’t have one. I like going to as many different venues as possible to see bands. I do prefer the venues in East, North, and Central London.

How long have you been blogging?? August 2002.

How did you choose the name of your blog? PopScene is a blur song and a London indie club night that was hip and hot in 1999, around the time that I started my website.

First concert? Must have been Take That. Before you ask, Robbie was my favourite.

Most recent concert? Last night I went to see Untitled Musical Project at Buffalo Bar. It’s perfect music for anger management.

Most memorable concert? Too many to mention. As in this year, I enjoyed seeing Vampire Weekend @ Hoxton Bar, Holy Fuck @ 100 Club, Mystery Jets @ Durrr, and Gonzales @ ICA.

Most disappointing concert? I’d rather forget about the most disappointing concert.

Dream line-up? Lots of bands with men and beat machines (Holy Fuck, Zombie-Zombie, Slagsmalsklubben etc.) + The Faint + Yeah Yeah Yeahs + Sigur Ros, with Erol Alkan + Justice + Tiga doing the after-party. Preferably I want the DJs to do a le grande DJ battle. Exciting!
