Blogwatch

At last! After pressure from myself and Skif, our good friend Leon has capitulated and entered the blogging fray with Between The City And The Deep Blue Sea. Hurrah!

Skif, meanwhile, has been a very busy chap, not only posting regularly and at length about his passions - everything from non-league football to Woody Guthrie - on his regular blog Hobo Tread, but also setting up Box Social, an offshoot of his music fanzine Vanity Project designed to carry reviews of comedy and occasionally the other arts. (You'll find it in the Comedy section of the SWSL sidebar.) There are already pieces on Daniel Kitson, Phil Nichol and poet Simon Armitage up online.

Elsewhere:

After more than a month's worth of superb posts, Mike's heroic countdown of his favourite tracks of 2004 comes to a conclusion;

and Kenny belatedly gets with the programme and gives us his own take on the Editors gig and the blogmeet (there, I said it...) of the next day;

Paul expresses his horror that Robert Kilroy-Silk could become his new MP;

and Phill shamelessly plagiarises SWSL but is immediately forgiven for choosing legendary local fast food establishment Mr Egg as the first in his Why Birmingham Is Great series.
