Also listening to 400 Blows - Movin' (a cover of Brass Construction's classic)


Apparently, 400 Blows was founded in South London in the beginning 80's as a duo of Alexander Scott Fraser and Andrew Edward Beer. Wonder if they're around Dulwich somewhere...


If anyone knows where I can get a CD with the 400 Blows version of Movin' on it (don't mind a compilation, please let me know!


:)

"'Street Fighting Years' - Simple Minds "


when it all went a bit wrong (assuming with hindsight rather than nostalgia it wasn't all a bit wrong)


was listening to Sparkle in the Rain and I think it's still a decent album assuming it isn't the glow of hose young sunny days casting errr umm a shadow

mercury music nominees mmm nominated.


Any thoughts? Not exactly a vintage year admittedly, but generally o the opinion that UK has been a bit weak for a few years now. Some great small labels here scouring the world for original talent, but it's Ll got a bit stagnant here of late.


Still that Lisa Hannigan is very listenable in a coffee table sort of way. Anyone who should be on there who isn't (nope Simple Minds is a big no no)?

    • London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom. 
    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
    • Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
