Having had a deep discussion for the last 2 hours about music with my best friend, i think it could only be fair for you to join me in praising, the wonderful, the magnificent, Paul Morrissey.


Currently rifling through all the Smiths collections since 1984......well before i was born but there you go......


*sigh*


Has anybody heard local band called Wake? They're dead good......

Drum, yes they've been mentioned over here in the music room

I am the proud owner, still, of vinyl copy of A Life With Brian.


Had a rather funny baggy episode recently. I did a little DJing course at a certain London DJ school last autumn, the tutor being an old hand who is now mainly 'left-coast' (leftfield west-coast hip hop) but had DJed most things over the years. And of course we all took along some records to practice with. And among my collection was the 12" Fool's Gold. Which he promptly used to compare with a more recent record to demonstrate a particular feature of modern music (over compression, lack of dynamic range). He was drooling over my records like...a teenager! Sooo sweet. Actually, the young boys in the class were also a bit weird about the Roses 12": "Is that an 'original'? Oooh, it must be worth loads!"


I used to see my 1960s coffee sets in museums, but I have recently started to see some of my records at places like the V&A and the Design Museum. It's all starting to make me feel a bit old...

Smog (this time as Bil Callahan) has released a new one today. Not as sparse and windswept as A River Ain't Too Much, but good stuff nevertheless. Here's a bit of smog in action live http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAjUxpcB0pw

Also got Coco Rosies's new one, but not had a chance to listen to it yet.


Blinder, did you get the new Bright Eyes yet? What's it like, he cheered up yet ;)

CD Times are doing one of those interminable top album lists.

So obviously I can't resist.

2. Charlie Drake sings Nick Drake

3. .....

I think it was last played at an exceedingly drunken new years at the old ancestral home. We were in the garden with it playing at full pelt while we played launch ourselves across the frozen pond (yes it was so long ago, water froze in the winter!!)

    • There's a book Why do Buses Come in Threes? - Rob Eastaway The title was inspired by the tendency of buses near my East Dulwich home to cluster in threes or fours.

    • In just two days, we’ll take to the streets to show Donald Trump that he and his politics are not welcome here. On Saturday the global far-right mobilised their biggest protest for decades. We want to show that supporters of Trump and fascism are not the majority – far from it. Here are all the details you need for the day. The march assembles at Portland Place, near the BBC, at 2pm (see assembly blocs below). After speeches here, the march will move off at 3pm. It will then march down Regent St, through Piccadilly Circus, on Whitehall (past Downing St) to our rally at Parliament Square. The rally at Parliament Square will begin around 5pm and finish at 7pm. If you can’t make it to the march, feel free to join the rally after work! (Nearest tube: Westminster). The short, accessible version of the route assembles at the top of Whitehall (SW1A 2DY) at 4.30pm to march to Parliament Square for 5pm. You may also prefer to just join the rally directly at Parliament Square.  Join a bloc – and make friends! Our movement is diverse, and various elements are forming ‘blocs’ on the march to emphasise their visual presence collectively. You can join these blocs or form up behind them:   A) Palestine, near BBC, W1A 1AA B) Climate, W1B 1NS C) Amnesty, around junction with New Cavendish St, W1B 1LU D) Migrants' rights, W1B 1LS E) Jewish bloc, W1B 1QQ F) Ukraine, around junction with Weymouth St, W1B 1JL G) Europe, W1B 1NR More stewards still needed Stewards are a crucial part of keeping the protest safe for everyone to participate. They are a visible point of contact for attendees who may need directions or other assistance. Experience of stewarding is useful but it's also fine if you haven't done it before. You will be issued with a hi-vis jacket and briefed in advance and on the day.  Sign up to be a steward Staying comfortable on the day The demonstration lasts for several hours, so we suggest you should:     Bring a bottle of water and snacks (and eat beforehand)     Charge your phone fully the night before, and bring a portable charger if you can     Go to the loo beforehand (really!)     Buddy up with someone, or stick together as a group – it can be hard to find people easily if people wander off     Coming alone? Protests can be a great place to meet like-minded people. If you feel unsure, you can always talk to a steward     Consider the weather: bring a waterproof jacket or wear suncream where necessary     Wear comfortable clothes and footwear, and use our accessible route if you need to (see above) Bring your friends and family on Wednesday. Let’s make this massive! In solidarity, Stop Trump Coalition
