KAREN DOES LONDON: A PICTORIAL ODYSSEY

Payback for the British Invasion (She Was Never That Big on The Beatles)

HITS President Karen Glauber, whose nom de PoMo is Ivana B. Adored, is currently gallivanting about on the other side of the Briny, sipping tea withand unleashing her considerable charm uponan array of U.K. industry gentlefolk. We offer a few highlights in the photo gallery below. Cheerio, and all that rot.


BREAK OUT THE PRADA TEA SET: BBC Radio 1 Head of Music George Ergatoudis welcomes Karen to his London office, where the two discussed Dolly Parton‘s blockbuster set at Glastonbury. They determined that the music was excellent but the mosh pit was subpar. Later, the pair enjoyed buttered scones and deep cuts from King Crimson‘s Larks’ Tongues in Aspic.

KAREN DOES LONDON, CONTINUED: We rejoin our PoMo Goddess at Notting Hill’s exclusive Electric House, where she asks Adele’s manager, Jonathan Dickins, what “Rolling in the Deep” really means. “No idea, love,” Dickins replied, “but it’s bought me 17 gold-plated Ferraris and a life-size replica of Stonehenge, so I’m good. Try the gnocchi.”

KAREN DOES LONDON, THE NEXT CHAPTER:
We continue the adventures of our resident anglophile as she visits Sony U.K. chief Jason Iley during his second day on the job. “Forgive me,” Iley said, “but where do you work again?” “Best not to talk about it,” she replied, thinking quickly. “Here, have a shiny magazine!”


Karen got the lovely prog-rock parting gift pictured at right, and Iley perused an in-depth investigative report on the 25 most hideous outfits at Glastonbury.

KAREN DOES LONDON—THE SAGA CONTINUES: Our own Priestess of the Post Modern enjoys a ride through London Town in the Bentley of manager pal Scott Rodger, whose clients Arcade Fire recently tore it up at Glastonbury. “Sweet ride,” Karen remarked, “but where’s the turntable?”
