The music caught my attention – a remix of Air War by the excellent Crystal Castles, who’s Alice Glass recently topped the NME cool list (cool girls are so much cooler than cool boys). Anyway, the visuals kept […]
Just posted on Shiny Red: As part of activity to celebrate all the ways you can organise a party on Yell.com, I had a good day asking members of the public about the last party they went to. Below is the result, unsurprisingly a few juicy anecdotes were shared and it was obvious that we do like to […]
