A few months ago I moved to East Sussex and now live just outside the county town of Lewes. I was born and brought up over the border in West Sussex – and grew up with the slightly odd idea that West was best.

I've always been a fan of public transport, although living in London taught me it's sometimes neither cheaper nor quicker. In April 2009 I thought I'd compare the costs - not just financially but also the environmental impact and the time I'm spending.

David Devant and his Spirit Wife played a gig in late May 2009 as part of the Brighton Festival Fringe. After completing a 60-minute set at St. Andrew's Church, Waterloo Street, Hove, they crossed the road and carried on performing at The Iron Duke pub (with a little help from the audience). I recorded a couple of minutes on my mobile phone...

In June 2009 I was at the Brighton Dome, where Jarvis Cocker - the UK's favourite hyperactive geography teacher - performed songs from his new "Further Complications" album. In this audio clip he encourages some audience participation and then tells a Barry Manilow story...

I offered my suggestions for the decade's top ten gadgets in a short interview on the BBC Radio Cumbria breakfast show last week.
