Thank you, London!

That's a photo of Darren Hayes together with his set designer Willy Williams and me that was shot last week after Hayes' memorable performance at Royal Albert Hall. Thanks for the experience, D. It is time to bring that show to the U.S. pronto!
My trip to London was a real treat this year. I met lots of great new music folks, strolled around town, had a very fancy lunch at Charlotte Street (Roka rocks), drinks in SoHo and did some mandatory shopping at Fopp and Virgin where I picked up some great new CDs (including Passenger's "Wicked Man's Rest," which is a must have).
Also, met up with fellow blogger Raj for coffee who burned some of his favorite tunes on disc for me. Thank you much!
A big thank you also to Bradster for being such a great host and the very caring Stuart for setting things up with Roisin at EMI. The couch was comfy!
And lastly, a very special shout out to the amazing Justin Shave and the adorable Mizz Antigone. It was great to get to know you. Hope to chat more soon!
