I'm obviously having a mid life crisis and listening to pop drenched lo-Fi garage rocksters Japandriods and Waaves.

The former is particularly good and gets a big thumbs up from me though sometimes I feel like I really should have a skateboard to hand, so Brendan, right up your street ( I'll put it on that key I promises you).


As antidote to that i'm also dosing myself up with the amazing, and probably incomparable Wildbirds & Peacedrums new album The Snake. Proper beautiful, complex, pounding and ethereal. Marvellous.


Ps page 7!?!

Remembered from an interview with Luke Haines (Auteurs, Black Box Recorder etc)

"I see Graham Coxon going around Camden on a skateboard. He's in his thirties you know"

I'd give it a swerve if I were you, MP.

Picked up the new Richard Hawley (fewer old-school strings, still fab) and the latest David Sylvian


If anyone thought his Blemish album a tad "out there" then wait until you hear this. I can't decide if it's wildly self-indulgent and rubbish, or wildly-self-indulgent and lovely

I felt the same way when I first heard The Drift by Scott Walker ... I later decided that it was very very good indeed ... not something you can listen to casually though ... you have to set time aside and listen to the entire album from start to finish ... s friend of mine used to joke that he would play it in the car at full blast whilst driving his kids back from school ... and they would be screaming " dad dad this old man is scaring us ... we want spongebob ! " etc .

That sounds like great fun Mockney but at which point during the celebration will a pissed up best man or father in law stagger onto the dancefloor with blood streaming from his broken nose and throw the bridesmaid over his shoulder whilst everyone whispers "Gosh, Rab ca' be such a hanfool onesh he's got a wee maiden in his seets", take her out into the carpark, and monsterously 'pillage' her in true Pictish fashion.


Followed by an extensive Police investigation leading to a heavy custodial sentence. I don't mean to be provocative but I've heard that this sort of thing is expected at clan gatherings north of the border.


Also, beware of 20 foot wicker effigies.

Oh dear. Radiohead in topping list compiled by self obsessed 'left field' musos shocker.


I have to say pitchfork is a pretty good website and usually worth a read. I take any of their reviews with a veritable job lot of salt (see what I did there).

I've about 18 of the top 20 albums and some of them are much loved in the mockney household. Animal collective are superb but among best of all time?!? No way.


The only one I'd consider would be Modest Mouses's Moon & Antarctica.

I'm quite enjoying a slightly odd album by Euros Child called Son of Euro Child.

If you're looking to fill in an hour or two of the next fortnight you could do worsethan get hold of it.


They're giving it away free at their site which is nice.

Tis a breathtakingly good album- at the polar opposite end of the SW scale I've been listening to 'til the band comes in' today


Also bootleg from friday's pixies gig, new Stevenson ranch davidians album and grizzly bear's 'yellow house'

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      Who was Diana Rayworth, when 'resting from acting'. Her successful career was very sadly cut short following a devastating accident.

      By civilservant · Posted

      thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street...

      Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
