Back in the day, when I was embarking on this writing game, I imposed three cardinal rules upon myself: 1. Only write about cool bands; 2. Never write bullsh!t advertisements for brands that you don’t believe in for the man; 3. Never cut your hair shorter than your earlobes. You see, I was like Richie Edwards, 4 Real. Not that I liked the Manic Street Preachers, of course. No, they were way too mainstream, man. And where do I stand on those rules now? Well, number three was ruined by my gene pool (and may you forever burn, great-uncle John, the only other bald member in my entire extended family) and number one… Well, there’s not much to write about Belle & Sebastian, Hefner, and Godspeed You! Black Emperor nowadays. But as for shilling, no way. To this day, I only (well, mostly) write about cool places. This is why you can (mostly) trust me when I tell you that places are tops and are definitely worth visiting. That the places below have connections to the community here should most definitely not put you off because they are all ace (most definitely). Coat of Arms Something of a regular haunt…
