What is East Dulwich Listening to?

[mockney piers]

Went on a rate-cut celebration spending spree down fopp.

Ted Barnes - portal Nou.

Wow frankly, shiveringly dark, occasionally intimate countryesque, folk inspired tunes, with accordian, strings, guitar, harmonicas, and glockenspiels, accompanied by his own gruff vocals (think Robert Fischer from the Willard Grant Conspiracy) and collaborations with other quality vocalists such as Froncoiz Breut and Beth Orton.

Frankly breath taking. Go...go now...buy!

Also worth a mention, the latest Wolf Parade CD, lovely, and Yeasayer's debut 'All Hour Cymbals', which is treading ground forged by Panda Bear/Animal Collective, but really good stuff.

Im listening to the Foo Fighters at the moment (their most recent album).. I didnt think I would love it as much as I do but its the perfect balance between heavy and balled..

[capt_birdseye]

I recorded a few Clash programmes last week. Revolution Rock, a bit of a light-weight Clash documentary, but with loads of concert footage. Westway to the World, haven't watched that yet. Also Joe Strummer, The Future is unwritten, a really well made biopic of the man. Sounds like he was a bit of an arse in his Clash heyday, but in his latter years came across as a really down to earth decent guy, very humble and clearly widely loved by all those who met him.

It's got me listening to lots of Clash again, really reminds me of what a top-draw band they were, some really fantastic tunes.

Highly recommend the Fopp sale at the moment.

Large selection of albums for sale at ?2-5, most in the ?2-3 and good ones to, especially if you're looking to beef p your back catalogue.

I just got:

Buck 65 - Situation

Go Team! - Proof of Youth

The Lilac Time - Astronaut

Fleet Foxes - Eponymous

Wedding Present - RCA Years

Tom Verlaine - Warm & Cool

for ?18. Lunch hour well spent.

Station-to-station randomly on shuffle this morning...fine, stirring, full

[SeanMacGabhann]

It's not the side-effects of the cocaine....I'm thinking that it must be love

stirring indeed quids

for me, everytime Creature Fear on the Bon Iver album comes on as I walk across Blackfriars Bridge I get a huge "woooosh"

[mockney piers]

Despite Beef's .. err...beef with Bon Iver, I think t'is a fine album indeed.

just listening to another of his pet hates, Fleet Foxes. I have to say, can't put my finger on who, but I basically already own this album as done by someone else, will update when tip of tongue manifests to a name.

Not Mercury Rev, but getting closer.

[Moos]

I get a huge "woooosh"

I drive irresponsibly if Solsbury Hill ever comes on.

[jaybee82]

I'm particularly enjoying 'Untrue' by Burial at the mo, lots of cultural urban references and all penned by a bloke from Camberwell. Essential night bus listening!

[Jah Lush]

Last night was a Sly & The Family Stone compilation followed The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion's Now I Got Worry. Tonight will be the sound of my cage rattling because I'm so skint I can't come out to play.

[mockney piers]

Ahh, SatFS back catalogue was being sold a 2 quid a pop in Fopp!!

[Jah Lush]

Payday next week and I really must get myself down to Fopp. Is the one in Covent Garden in Endell Street?

[mockney piers]

Up by Cambridge Circus on the corner of the road leading to 7(?) dials.

[Jah Lush]

Thanks Piers. I know it well. I think a good blast of Howling Wolf's Poor Boy and Down In The Bottom will be the order of the day when I get home.

Radiohead - Kid A

[mockney piers]

As of this morning I'm listening to Fight Like Apes and The Mystery of the Golden Medallion by Fight Like Apes

These guys are friends of a good pal of mine who knows them when they were both struggling bands in Dublin.

Now my mate is a struggling band in London and these guys have a proper album out, in the shops and everything.

If you like quirky, energetic power pop then it'll be right up your street.

One to check out, Lend Me Your Face, probably on youtube, myspace etc.

Deep Purple Machinehead

Led Zep 3

David Bowie Hunky Dory

edit. for those of you on tenterhooks on wether i picked L'Scratch'P's Andrew WK or the new ON U Sound, well, Andrew,s effort sounded like a vague idea of what new york indie has beens think dub sounds like, the other was, well, Adrian sherwood was back behind the desk and, uh, I'm off to check how that 'Tree' thread is moving....

[macroban]

Buffalo Springfield, Long Beach Arena, Long Beach, California, 5 May 1968

These guys were quite good live. Almost as good as Moby Grape.

Guardian review from Laura Barton here.

Go buy. Now. GO!

[SeanMacGabhann]

Looks like balls to me. There's not a single speed metal band on there. What's the picture on the cover?
