The Ting Tings have produced a rather cheerful if frivolous summer album.


I saw an amazing band at Stoke fest on Sunday - The Cesarians. They have stuff on youtube and itunes but I can't do a link with my handheld.


They have shades of The Divine Comedy but seem heavily influenced by Kurt Weil and dark murky cabaret - quite broody, quite dark.

Hee hee - there I go again! That's so funny! Nope - you are absolutely right MP - I am blushing terribly (Four years as an editor and proofreader - four years!)


And yes I do know cesarean is spelt differently.


Can I now wear a crown as Queen of Malapropisms?

Thanks for the nod BB - they remind me of a band I liked in the mid 90s




Jack being the band name - their singer Anthony Reynolds released a great album last year; British Ballads


i shall keep an eye on their live listings - Sat could have been a go, but N17 I ask you!!??

Got the new sigur Ros album.

It seems to be thing in reviews to talk about how their sound is thawing out, you can hear the icicles dripping etc ad nauseum.


But then, I can see their point.


Regardless of what metaphors you choose to apply it is a truly beautiful album and does indeed have much greater pop sensibilities than their older stuff, I'd almost call it perky!!

Got my money back AND payday all at the same time, so a Fopp trip was almost inevitable.


I got the lovely Picaresque by the underrated Decemberists (yes, it's all a bit prog, but prog having fun!!)


Elegies to Lessons Learnt by iLiKETRAiNS, giving it a listen now. It's basically Explosions in the Sky with Andrew Eldritch singing, and I'm not saying that like it's a bad thing. Takes itself a bit seriously, but really rather good.


Well, blimey, Micah P Hinson and the Red Empire Orchestra, is (are?) very good indeed. Yes it's Americana, but go on, give it a go, you never know. It sits somewhere between Johnny Cash's country lyricism and Bill Callahan's pared down yet thoroughly modern music. Amazing rich gravelly tones, and then you see a photo of this youthful, slightly gawky kid and, well, I can't quiet reconcile the two frankly (I had similar problems with Mr Callahan frankly). Anyhoo, gets the thumbs up from me.


I somehow managed to buy The Only Thing I Ever Wanted by Psapp, which I own already, so that can go back.


Other than that I shall report back on Yellow Magic Orchestra who I've been reading about for ages, and an AiRecords sampler that I'm very excited about.

Page 9?!, clearly too much Mag talk and not enough about music.


Listening to the Spinto Band?s new one. It?s more of the same really, but no less jolly and fun for that, especially with the last gasp of an Indian (to a somewhat miserable normal) summer fizzling away.


Jenny Lewis will require a couple of listens as it?s less immediate than Rabbit Fur Coat, but so far sounding promising.

      Vet recommendation

      By NewWave · Posted

      I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.

      Be careful in local shops

      By bonaome · Posted

      In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.

      There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can.
