What is East Dulwich Listening to?

[kpc]

Dan Sartain - Join (while driving to work)

[mockney piers]

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 .

The weather has turned outside, but inside it's all sunny

[Jah Lush]

You'll know this from that Linx advert. Top tune.

The Seeds - Can't Seem To Make You Mine

[mockney piers]

Right now I'm listening to someone or something called Kay Lee apparently. It seems to involve alot of bad dancing by drunk people. The dads are particularly bad I might add.

[bigbadwolf]

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.

Top 200 Albums of the decade @Pitchfork

No.1 certainly raised my eyebrows.

[flapjackdavey]

bert jansch again :))

[mockney piers]

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.

[kpc]

At least Fleet F*xes wasn't no.1

Now that my latest package from Rough Trade has finally been delivered Yo La Tengo - Popular Songs kept me company on the way to work.

[mockney piers]

Oh yes. Right Fopp trip is a must for that and Fiery Furnaces latest.

[monica]

Im loving Muse and Elbow, it must be my student side coming through.

[Andystar]

I'm loving muse as well..

also i'm getting into a band from Iceland called M?m [/url]

The new Editors song

& the Weezer song with the funny fan video..

[louisiana]

Grievous Angel (dubstep)...which is probably a bad idea for this time of day

[mockney piers]

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'

[giggirl]

I'm listening to Simon & Garfunkel - Sounds of Silence - in preparation for the Forum going dead.

[kpc]

Read about this somewherenthe other day. Free stuff works with me - thanks for the link.

[mockney piers]

Right now on this drizzle sodden platform I'm listening to all things summery on The Duckworth Lewis Method. Not just a

must have for all cricket fans, but a pretty damn good album too.

[SeanMacGabhann]

Top tunes on there for sure - another thumbs up from me

[david_carnell]

Electro-folk anyone:

[mockney piers]

Thanks to an FnB recommendation am listening to 'Something give never heard before' a blugrass tribute to Modest Mouse.

Utter class (and on spotify!!!)
