[IMG: Finger On The Pulse] I love live music, which is why I used to produce a television show on the San Francisco bay area's music scene. Now that I'm in London, I look forward to exploring the music scene here and will be listing the London shows I am excited about seeing on this page. You can check out the list of San Francisco shows I went to from 2005-2007 to get a sense of my tastes.
