anyone with an interest in hiphop, sampling, and crate digging in general should listen to this show on r4.

I caught the tail-end of this brilliant documentary on radio 4 yesterday. Not sure if it's been on before but here it is on iplayer. Some great stories about vinyl archives rescuing collections from obsessive collectors, one guy had so much vinyl he could only reach his bed through a tunnel (in the vinyl) and had buried his turntable under his collection years earlier, so couldn't even play it anymore, they said they also found some rare pieces (an early signed Rolling Stones single) in a spot where his dog had been peeing for the last ten years

St. Petersburg, home of the £500 lunch!

Not my favourite destination, but before I got there, somewhere I'd always wanted to visit, because of it's deserved reputation for beauty. In the couple of days I spent there, that beauty seemed to be more of a surface thing. I wouldn't describe it as the friendliest of towns, but a very interesting one. My visit was quite a humbling experience, due to the city's enthusiastic disdain towards visitors.

Another stupid hat.

Homo-eroticism aside, what was not so obvious about the banya from the programme was its side room complete with bar, flashing lights and stripper's stage, with pole.

We'll always have Leningrad.

The meat girls were not so friendly.

Carl Warner's world of food

Norway!

Playing with my food.


Ever since visiting Svarlbad and Tromso a decade ago I have wanted to come back to Norway, it's different in subtle ways to the rest of Europe, not exotic but has a parallel universe feel to it. Absolutely one of the best places I visted on the Rough Guides, also one of the most expensive, they are oil-rich [North Sea Oil - remember that? I think it bought some tax cuts for the well-off here in the UK in the 1980's] and their currency is separate to the Euro and consequently very strong. Alesund is billed as an Art Deco town, very pretty and friendly, and it gets rather wild in isolated pockets at the weekend. Delicious food but bring your own everything if you are even thinking of being on a budget there.

If you want to stay on a lighthouse or fly up a fjord,
this is a good place to start
