Bought the latest Tracey Thorn called "Love and it's Opposite". I's a grower. Subtle and pensive. Was listening to her about 25 years ago when she was in The MArine Girls.


Completely from left field, got a compilation called "Songs for Dad" from my two little ones on Father's Day. Thought it was a touching gesture that would quickly be gathering dust - but this starts with "Come FLy with Me2 by Sinatra, ends with Johnnie Ray's "Just Walking in the Rain" and in between sweeps through a load of gems from the 50s, including "Good Rocking Daddy" by Etta James. Cool.

Micah P Hinson's new one. A change of direction, much richer arrangements and a bit cheerier if I'm not mistaken.

Very good.


Also got She & Him - Volume 2, Zooey Deschanel's musical project, this time with M Ward. Sort of Gainsbourg & Birkin after hanging around with Johnny Cash for too long.


Have read a couple of good reviews of the Tracy Thorn album, might give it a quick spotify and see if I like it.

Jeff Beck's new album Emotion And Commotion and quite a bit of old reggae at the moment. Always the same with me when the sun comes out. So it's been Lee "Scratch" Perry's Arkology boxset, a singles compilation from Doctor Alimantado, King Tubby's Meet The Rockers Uptown and Eek-A-Mouse's first album Wa-Do-Dem.

    • So your remedy for anyone harming an animal, amongst which I assume you include at least all insects, is, well, to kill an animal. Good and logical call. Hyperbole only gets you so far, you know. 
    • Hello, just wondered if you found anything? I'm also looking for a studio space, perhaps sharing. 
    • From what I have gathered from Bradbury Oak residents  I have spoken with, that at a meeting with RNIB earlier in the year, none of the residents were in favour of new build. There is the implication that rent rises are anticipated to help towards building costs. Rent is currently in the region of £300 pw - as with most sheltered housing (council and Housing Association), Since these rents also include maintenance charges, utility charges - Housing Benefit is only applicable to the actual 'rent element' per flat.
    • At the Dulwich Hill SNT meeting last night we spoke about Met. Engage. Dulwich Hill had signed up 185 households. Scheme  had been trialled in other parts of the country successfully and now the Met. Police are rolling it out, To the end of August, the Met Police had gathered 17,000 registrations which equites to 2% of households.
