LONDON LOVES

02/16/2025

Is anyone seeing this? They are threatening to shut down the 'London Loves' page, claiming copyright infringement. I started London Loves around 1999 in Seattle, and nobody in the PNW has played more British rock and Britpop in clubs and bars than me. I have done record release parties for Oasis, Kasabian, and many others. I would love for the person claiming infringement to contact me directly.

DJing a London Loves/Lust for Life style vinyl set at The Midnight PDX on Belmont, tonight 8-12 if you’re in Portland!

Didn’t remember that it’s the anniversary of Ian Curtis’ death until today. Definitely owe Joy Division for inspiring me!

LoFi is a huge chapter in my DJ story! They are closing this summer, and I’m lucky enough to be returning to town before they do. Before London Loves moved to LoFi, I had a great time guest DJing at “Sorted”. Hope to see some Britpop Loyals there.

Been spending some time editing and adding to my London Loves playlists! If you were a supporter of my DJ night over the years it will hopefully give you a dose of nostalgia. London Loves Records #1- #3 were originally laid out almost how I'd mix at an event, but everyone uses shuffle? So? Anyhow, we also have a London Loves Records: Ballads, Singalongs, and Anthems.(BSA), and a newer mix that I've been digging, "London Loves: "Daydream indie". I've been trying to add some newer artists to my playlists, as well as lost treasures people might suggest. One of the new artists I stumbled onto is Missing Image and I've snuck 1 of their songs onto a playlist and I'm looking forward to their April release "Lemon Tree" which looks and sounds like a bit of psychedelic pop genius. Stay Tuned!

I’m going to be editing and adding to our London Loves playlists on Spotify soon. If you have a band or a music project that might fit our format, which is pretty expansive . Including Britpop, Wave, post-punk, indie, etc, plus we also have a few Lust 4 Life playlists which include pretty much any rock n roll you can dance to and some EDM. So please submit suggestions or provide links. Cheers Haakon

Our friends Dirty Sidewalks have a new single. Somewhere between The Beach Boys, Jesus and the Mary Chain, and Seattle’s classic garage sound of The Sonics, they’ve launched “Girl”. Catchy enough for the radio and dirty enough to stay on your indie playlist. Check
