100 years of popular music as a Tube map.

This is excellent. I lived at Nas (never heard of them) and went to school between LL Cool J and Eric B and Rakim. Very excellent!

This is a treasure.

And the comments are almost as entertaining!

I can see I shall be spending days trawling this map...

I think it was probably sparked off by The Great Bear by Simon Patterson, which I saw at the Tate a few years ago and loved enough to have a framed print made.

The Great Bear is also excellent - as is the tube map itself.

I've got that too. As soon as I have a new kitchen, it's going up.

Well it's in my study if you ever want to visit.

Am so tempted to call your bluff.

Feel free - my study is like one of those grace and favour apartments that are open to the public once a year. And the daybed is quite comfy, as I found out on sunday night.
