April??? No-one has posted on here since April? Boy this place has changed...


Anyway, it had been about 20 years since I last heard it but finally got hold of a copy of Screaming Blue Messiah's Gun Shy. What a cracking album that is

OK so about a fiver was spent on the budget for the video but's that's all they could afford and not just because it's my mate who co-wrote it and is singing. It's a fecking tune and the last thing that the late great Martin Rushent produced before he very sadly and suddenly passed away recently. Go buy the CD or download it. I can thoroughly recommend the album too. Out now.


Dirty Fingernails - Nitewreckage

I've discovered these original music series of lots of struff, usually under a tenner per 3-5 album collection.

Great way to fill all that back catalogue stuff on the cheap.

So far have been discovering the delights of late 60s Fleetwood Mac, when they were playing the Blues.

I know I'm usually late to the party (by almost 50 years here) but there's some great stuff there.


Also indulged myself with The Sisters of Mercy, though two of the albums are compilations, which kind of detracts from the purpose of a 5 album collection, but considering they only did 3 I can see where they're going with it.


Next stop Simply Red and The Corrs Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt.

    • What nonsense.  It's social mobility.  Huguenots moved to the East End and once they made a bob or two moved to more upmarket areas. Subsequently Jews.  Now Bangladeshi, particularly making a pretty penny once the hipsters moved in.   Antisemitism was a small factor and this was a generation or more ago.   "Jewish people moved out of London's East End between 1900 and the 1950s primarily to escape overcrowded, impoverished conditions and seek better housing and improved social standing in the suburbs." I expect few of us living in the area have witnessed first hand antisemitism.  We may well have seen racism against black, brown people and maybe Eastern Europeans.  Anti Irish sentiment was still prevalent 30 years ago - partly due to the troubles but partly some British superiority complex encouraged by generations of lewd comedians,  Glad that is behind us now.   Why do you have to make such toxic comments?  You'd be better off doing some research and educating yourself.  Here's some reading: https://www.ideastore.co.uk/local-history/collections-and-digital-resources/user-guides/migration-and-communities-in-the-east-end You don't have to thank me.
    • I hear there is a task force on the oceans but I was confused to where it is going - Greenland?  The EU or UK in view that the former has a new trade deal and no doubt the PM is after a new one. @Sephiroth The state sponsored killings in the US and Iran got me thinking.  Whilst the scale is clearly different it's still hypocritical.  Not fact checked but apparently several hundred people are killed each year in the 'States by law enforcement officers.  in the UK it's around a couple so corrected for respective populations a couple of percent of the US figures.
    • The diaspora was largely forced out of the East End a long time ago. The historical antisemitism behind that that is repeating itself again now, very sadly. 
    • Southwark Libraries has copies of all the grades https://southwark.spydus.co.uk/cgi-bin/spydus.exe/FULL/WPAC/BIBENQ/172056040/4862177,1
