Our very PJ poetess Clarissa Pabi won it the year before, so it's only right to see what this years talent had on offer, and I think she's pretty good. I definitely agree though, it's hard being a girl who's funny.

Keep your ears and eyes posted on South-London based electronic duo Mount Kimbie. Not only are these musically switched-on fellas starting to create a buzz with their debut-EP hit 'Maybes,' but they're also turning the heads of some hot bands on the scene lately. (The XX, anybody? Watch this space for upcoming news and collaborations...)
Have a listen to 'em, let your ears be impressed, and come down to Cargo on Thursday night to show some appreciation at their live set!
Check out this interactive art piece created by Film Maker Petah Hayes in Collaboration with PLain Janes and Idea's on Legs for our Plain Janes Love Making a scene night that happened in June.
PJ audience members were invited to dance in black fairy light body suits, and dance to music, their movements were recorded by camera, and turned into this animated piece.

I remember reading ages ago in a paper or something that although photography used to be considered a lesser form of art, it was most certainly coming into it's own as a respected form this decade and damn right it should be too.
So to celebrate the beauty that is photography, why not check out Vice Magazine's First Photography exhibition opening this thursday on the 13th August 2009 and running for two weeks, monday - friday 9am - 7pm at the Print Space in East London,
After the heat that gets created everytime they drop their annual photography edition of the mag, should be good to see what they've got lined up for their exhibition.
