louisiana - if the mixtape is the one I'm thinking of, you should listen to the herbaliser one from the series (ninja tune?)


for mixtape podcast types, I'm liking a 'Cover me Badd' mixtape from stone's throw records. 45 minutes of some quality / hilarious cover versions.

I read all the hyperbolic reviews of LCD and bought the album, and really had to wonder why the hype.

It was just a self-indulgent, substandard Daft Punk as far as I could work out.

If anyone wants a free copy I'm happy to give it away at the next meet as it's just gathering dust.


I'm listening to Bill Callahan's (smog) new one at the mo. Strangely upbeat for him, but lovely stuff nonetheless.


I noticed last night that Dead Man's Shoes kicks off with a smog track that fitted absolutely perfectly.

Agree with you there Mockney. They are so overrated. I really liked the first LCD Soundsystem album, but even that was a bit patchy but the second one starts off OK even though it totally rips off Krafwerk and Bowie, especially on the first track. I only like about three or four tracks on the new one after that it really is insipid, uninspired, ordinary and dare I it say rather boring.

Actually in all fairness capt' I'm forever badgering people to listen to it and I'm going to have to admit to myself one day that about 2 in every three give me a 'yes piers, whatever' look. Aah well, not to everyone's taste I guess.


Enjoying this andrew bird so far, nithing stand out as yet.

Amazingly I went in to Fopp and managed NOT to spend money. However the Camden branch is giving away the double Camden Crawl CD for free, so if you're nearby I'd grab it. 38 tracks of future stars for nowt.


Mind you I'm unconvinced of Akala's claim that..

"I'm Shakespeare reincarnated, except I spit flows and strip hos naked"


Hmm, worthy of the bard himself, I'm sure.

I'm not sure where it comes from, but it seems to like parking across the street from my house and playing that tune over and over again.


I liked it a lot better when I lived on the corner of Fellbrigg and Shawbury Road. Then it would just sound as if it were passing in the distance, reminding me of the heady days of school summer holidays.


*sigh*

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
