http://babylonwales.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html
Notes from the margins of Welsh popular culture. Monday, December 25, 2006. Homage to Blaenau Ffestiniog. I don't know about you but whenever I think of Christmas it isn't Santa who pops into my head but Arthur Koestler. For three years Koestler (see pic), author of. Lived at a cottage in Blaenau Ffestiniog. Biographers often describe his abode there as "bleak" which is code for: outside London. The above picture shows Koestler in his Welsh cottage in early 1948.

An indiepop night and fanzine. Monday, 11 August 2008. Band of the Week - A Classic Education. A Classic Education have the honour of being named Pull Yourself Together's. First ever band of the week, and boy do they deserve it. We had the luck to accidentally see them at Indietracks. Playing on the Church Stage. This venue turned out to be the perfect venue for this Bologna. Based dose of epicindiepop. Think Modest Mouse, think Arcade Fire, think Decemberists. 160;(on the player above) and the poignant.
