Tiffany lives in the black country?!?!

In a lolworthy statement, she apparently divides her time between Los Angeles and... Cannock.

I've said already, but a friend of a friend (I know this is sodding vague) met the Sandisons, and apparently they're really into painting and art.

Not sure if they still live around here but ive seen various members of The Arctic Monkeys in and around the pubs of Sheffield. Once played pool in The Red Lion whilst Alex Turner was watching and just could get out of my head "Kids that scrap with pool cues in their hands"

Casino Versus Japan works at the record store like a block down the street from me. He himself once told me when I went to buy the CD that The Campfire Headphase was one of his favorite records ever. And this was before I knew who he was. I thought he was just a really cool dude at the record store with impeccable taste and a fine knowledge of the Boards. And it turns out he's Casino Versus Japan. Erik Kowalski. True fucking story. I still can't believe that dude lives in my town and works at my record shop. WTF!

Apparently dutch guitarist / guitar builder Erik van de Haar lives in my city, just 5 minutes by bike away. I also happen to own one of his custom build guitars

, plays like a charm.

Speaking of Drum and Bass legends, Rob Haigh aka Omni Trio used to run Parliament Records in Hertford, which is where I used to live. (and to add, got all my good music taste from.

) Also not far away from there is Stevenage, which amongst other claims to fame is where Rob Playford aka DJ Timecode started Moving Shadow.
