Couldn't seem to find a thread about this...

I live at LL Cool J. Not sure about that Bjork interchange though....

I love how you can go from Wilco to Juan Atkins in just one stop.

And that Funk ends with Cameo.

I was going to do this exact same idea five years ago but luckily I never got round to it. I wonder if you can do one with each stop represented by a reasonably well known artist actually from that area (ok nobody is actually born and raised IN Picadilly Circus etc. so Zone 1 and 2 stops could be taken up by people who relocated to London after having a hit perhaps).

Similarly, jazz ends with Jamie Cullum. Strikes anticipated.

The clash are one step from Jimmy Cliff and Jimi Hendrix.

if you're stuck for a band name...

I read this is Dorian Lynskey's work, is that right?

Wilco for Hammersmith just seems so wrong

I travel the ROCK line every day from Flying Burritos to VU. me = PWNED

oh, and lest we forget...

the corresponding article is here and tries to explain the rationale:

the comments are funny.

I like Puberty Design, Halogen Suit, Third Hollow Sun, OK Turban, Erect Bone.... fuck it. 90% of anagrams make for good band names.

And there must already be some Chondritic Sound related creep-out project called Filth Drones.

I live somewhere between Run DMC and Elvis Presley. I take the Hip Hop line every day!

why are the britishes so obsessed with conceptual rewokings of their transit line? you should see the faces light up when they see that artist's wittgenstein thingy Tube map at the Tate.

if an artist reworked our transit map (which I'm certain has been done), I think it would elicit a "meh" reaction in nyc..

I can't find the one I'm looking for, but it was pretty cool--had a bunch of imaginary subway lines that would be really useful!

Awesomeness at RZA & Shadow having their own line!

cos the London map set a design standard for one of the oldest and most sophisticated networks. It's a design masterpiece and as it's so hard to celebrate the network itself due to it's age, unreliability and scuzziness, all the love goes to the map and other LT design and iconography.

i do love the NYC graphics almost as much though.

haha that line is known locally as "the drain"

personally I love the fact that Oasis is Proven By Art to be a dead end
