What is East Dulwich Listening to?

[mockney piers]

I've got one of their songs on my CamdenCrawl double CD, but otherwise don't really know much about them.

For the first two albums think grunge rock a-la-goth. Third album (Howl) is all rootsy Americana, surprisingly good. New one goes back to previous format.

[Jah Lush]

Only got the first album Captain which I really liked. Recent purchases though have been Martha Wainwright, Joan As Policewoman, Bat For Lashes, a couple of old Kraftwerk albums, a King Tubby boxset and Alternatively Deep by Roots Manuva. And they're all excellent.

I broke my life-long addiction to CD hoarding and now no-longer have any albums on physical format. It was a tough thing to do but ultimately therapeutic. I can now walk past a music shop without needing to go in a spend lots of money.

[mockney piers]

You're a stronger man than I captain.

I'm trying to do that now that I have to pay for a wedding, but the new Stars album is out next week, and the new National alblum...gaah, how will I do it?

Top choices Jah Lush!

[Jah Lush]

Thanks Mockney, I too can't walk past a record shop without going in but it's a happy addiction.

Marriage, that's where it all starts MP, it's a slippy slope from there on in. The last staw was when my then 1 year old started picking them up and chucking them on the floor, causing boxes to smash etc! Storage space is also at a bit of a premium now.

It helps that I'm not too much of an audiophile and can happily listen to an MP3 ripped at 128kbps and not worry that I can't hear Ringo coughing during the bridge.

Darn it, hoist by my own petards you might say.

Just got back to ED with three new - vinyl - albums.

One was a birthday present, IQ6 Zang Tumb Tuum Sampled. I have it on tape from the olden days, but wanted the vinyl - it's never been issued on digital formats. Possibly one of the best label compilations ever.

The other two were picked up in Oxfam for a few pee: Welcome to the Pleasuredome (ZTT IQ1!), and Penthouse & Pavement (which got a mention on Radio 4 today). As you can see, I have a thing about ZTT (but also about 4AD, Sarah, etc etc)

Silver Jews, American Water.

Generally setting my iTunes to play the stuff I havent listened to in ages :-)

[Bleep]

The new Throbbing Gristle LP. Much better than I had expected.

I also picked up a shedload of Italodisco on a recent day-trip to Ghent. For anyone who likes 2nd hand record shopping, go to Belgium, as it's amazing over there.

listening to Wilco, Preston School of Industry, Radiohead and PJ Harvey (songs form the City..). Love music but only listen sparingly. Going by my playlist any suggestions gratefully received.

The new compilation from Colette in Paris (Vol.8).

My sound of summer - and available on acquisition for those who are in the know....

Also, for anyone who loves a vibrant mix of music, pls look online for FIP radio in france. You can download a link which opens and streams through iTunes (win & Mac). Amazing.

Loving the new Wilco album CitizenEd, good choice

How about the Mark Lanagan/Isobel Cambell album?

[Brendan]

The clicketty click of an office full of fingers wizzing through cyberspace.

[citizenED]

Brendan, is that on CD or download only?

[mockney piers]

Todays listening / purchases (yeah I know what I said F&B, but man can not live on back catalogue alone):

Destroyer - Destroyer's Rubies (that bloke off The New Pornographers' side project. Top stuff)

Taken By Trees - Open Field (that lass that left The Concretes new band. Delicate and beautiful)

[mrdodgepot]

today i've been listening to...

morrissey - "your arsenal"

V/A - "long lost psychobilly volume 1"

[capt_birdseye]

Were you listening to Morrisey on the 8.35 train this morning?

[mrdodgepot]

[mockney piers]

Thanks to someone ripping stuff on my PC, and all that automatic synch stuff, I've just found myself listening to Gabrielle!

Gabrielle?!?!?!?! I feel sullied.

Well things from bad to worse with the havoc bro-in-law to be has played.

I've just had to suffer Guns'n'Roses cover of Sympathy for the Devil. Stick to the day job guys.

Luckily Smog - I Feel Like the Mother of the World came on, and I'm happy again.
