OK, get your shorts back on for an Indian Summer, everyone read Shantaram and lets all go live in a Bombay Slum. What can possibly go wrong? It's official, the sun is out. There is no grey Tupperwear type lid on the sky. Strangers are embracing each other on Camden High St and embarking on dance routines like life has turned into a Bjork video, there are tramps linking arms like a mental version of Strictly Come Drinking.
There is a golden shaft of dusty sunlight pouring in through the load in door streaking across a darkened stage as the crew sit around talking about vintage guitars and bicycles whilst they wait for the mighty Dinosaur Jr. to turn up and soundcheck. Upstairs in the office we frantically try to get everything done before they start playing at the kind of volume reserved for war and the end of the world. It's just the end of another week in sunny Camden Town, and if Dinosaur Jr .followed by a classic Club NME featuring Music Go Music doesn't float your canoe, then get thee down to Guilty Pleasures’ 5th Birthday Safari themed fandango on Saturday, after all it's gonna be snowing all next week.

ANNIE MAC PRESENTS
Save the date in your diary now. The one woman tune hurricane that is the Annie Mac returns with another blinding line up, so cutting edge there may be (Fake) blood involved.. In fact they headline alongside Ms Dynamite, Skream And Benga, Zinc featuring Katy B and Greenmoney. It's gonna go off like the grand national, but with less injuries to horses.

THE FALL
Always different always the same, so said John Peel R.I.P. If Norman Jay has an O.B.E. for services to music, shouldn't Mark E Smith be knighted? Still the best band in world bar none, still playing the kind of gigs people refer to as life changing, still uncompromising, still amazing. Still The Fall after all these years. Come see where most American indie bands got their ideas from when The Fall play on Tues 17th November.
