Recommended Posts

Trying to ban myself from the forum for a few days as I clearly spend too much time with half an eye on it, but you make it so difficult.


My purchases in the last week or so (i'm very bored at work and there's a fopp around the corner):


(tu)Acrcade Fire

(tu)Herman D?ne (superb a must have)

(tu)Little Barrie

(tu)Tinariwan

(tu)Cold War Kids

(tu)The Fiery Furnaces


Findlay Brown


(td)Malcolm Middleton


Amy Winehouse irks me me I must say. She keeps swanning into my work local expecting the world to stop due to her presence.

Out the way shortarse I'm trying to get to the bar is all she receives :)


I can testify to the fact that huguenot is listens to Neil Young and Toto...err that's it.

Capt_Birdseye give The Killers' second album (Sam's Town) another go, it's a grower...... Also, while Snow Patrol's albums are rather bland, they are fantastic live!


Lately I've been listening to The Feeling, nice happy album which is all too rare in these the days of depressing shite written by rich people who think they have something important to say!!!!!!!! Chris Martin I'm looking at you.


Generally loud guitar based rock does it for me.. Fave band ever Guns N' Roses (Slash is a God).


Also guilty pleasures from the 80's such as China in your hand :-S

Saw Snow Patrol a few years ago at Brixton, supporting Grandaddy (they were ace). Just find them a bit dull I'm afraid. I've really tried with the new Killers and I do like a few of the songs, but it really peters out and the last 4 or 5 tracks are really lame.


Guilty pleasures for me are Red Hot Chili Peppers, I know it's not trendy to like them but I don't care! Last album could have done with some pruning though.

Really like The Killers at the moment.


Bit of an 80s girl though - agree with QZ about The Cure and The Stone Roses. Saw The Cure at the NEC in 1989 and they were fab especially after several cans of Special Vat cider (strictly a Pinot Grigio girl these days you'll be relieved to hear).Also like some cheesy 80s stuff but I'll say no more on that topic...

You are all correct - Snow Patrol are awful, but this remix of Chasing Cars is fantastic...

I think I was at that NEC gig too Georgia! Was listening to Head On The Door last week.


Also:


Magnetic Fields - 69 Love Songs

Neutral Milk Hotel - In The Airplane Over The Sea

Prefab Sprout - Steve McQueen


Nothing recent tickles my fancy, apart from the latest Killers album, my current guilty pleasure. My younger self would have sniffed disdainfully about lowest common denominator major label sheep music. Getting old does have some advantages I suppose.

(td) Snow Patrol are poor, especially live. The singer just cannot sing

(td) Razorlight are abysmal - rehashed Boomtown Rats!

(td) Babyshambles


(td)(tu) New stuff by Kaiser Chiefs and Killers are OK, but not up there with their previous records in my opinion.


(tu) Hot Club De Paris

(tu) Built To Spill

(tu) Death Cab For Cutie

Another 80s fan here. you cant beat the Cure.

Also love the Feeling. wot about his M&S ads? very nice


Nick Cave at Brixton last year was one of the best things I've ever seen or heard.

Except perhaps for S&G in Hyde park altho we kept ruining it for everyone else by singing along. Hard not to!

    • Vladi, let me help you because your remarks aimed at discrediting me is a bit rubbish. 1.     If this happened only once, I wouldn’t have bothered Googling it, I wouldn’t have found the original post and I wouldn't have replied. So the fact that 2 people are complaining about poor quality chicken isn’t a coincidence. They are linked by customer experience, and a search engine.   2.     I never mentioned a fillet. 3.     £14 Buys you exactly 4 chicken thighs/legs in this store.  4.     Probably" could also have been worded as "for the third time, possibly fourth". 5.     I mentioned that I cooked the pieces within an hour of purchase. Therefore, no freezing, no defrosting.  6.     Did you know that it's possible to delete old posts when they are no longer relevant, saving your inbox from inane out-of-date replies? 7.     Why should l be a regular poster on here to be credible anyway? 
    • KARTULI - GEORGIAN CUISINE AND WINE Restaurant review, found this on You Tube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkkgIki4fm0    
    • I can't really comment on the general West/East/Village discussion.  It's all out of my price range, and like others I expect, we moved here when the area was much more affordable and dare I say much of it 'ordinary'.  But was thinking exactly the same as New Wave regards to SE23 as a place to live, and convenient for SE22 etc for visiting including buses and an easy cycle.  You have hills of course in Forest Hill but this adds to the charm (and from a lot of places the views). At the edge of Forest Hill you have the best pub in the country, the Blythe Hill Tavern.  Pubs can get better, and can get worse, as they do everywhere, including Forest Hill, but the Blythe is consistently great for the craic and the beer (no restaurant but the pizza van comes at weekends).
    • Forest Hill area around Manor Mount/Horniman gardens...Or Off of Honor Oak Rd good transport Links (Overground and Southern to London Bridge)  decent Bus Routes (P4 goes past Dulwich College and into the Village). Very easy to get to Crystal Palace park Horniman Gardens and museum on the doorstep Horniman Triangle kids playground Dulwich Woods and Dulwich Park and riding school in walking distance. A few decent pubs and again easy to go to Peckham, and ED for good resturants. A few excellent coffee shops where you can get lunch. Theres a brilliant Thai resturant (Matoom) and a very good Japanesese (Sushi Garden) and 2 family friendly pubs/bars that serve good food (The Signal and Sylvan Post). a fantastic butcher, a couple of Deli's and a Sainsbury for all the other 'stuff' There is also a local pool and small gym We've lived in this area (Near Horniman border of Lewisham and Southwark) for 13 years having moved from Notting Hill. It feels very safe and is family friendly..We were originally looking to buy in Dulwich but did'nt want a small victorian terrace we got more for our money here and have been very happy.
