Are sun kil moon worth a listen then? I heard their Modest Mouse cover album and ran a mile, but perhaps I was being unfair on them.


Am currently ripping all my collection to FLAC in readiness for my DAC to appear (hopefully today) for my set up in my new home office, so really just listening to whatever passes through.


But have really enjoyed M?m and Notwist, neither of which had I heard for a while.


Of recently bought, I seem to have leant towards easy electropop, with Chvrches and Marnie (the pretty lilting scottish one from Ladytron).

I think Sun Kil Moon are excellent. Their 2008 album 'April' and their latest 'Benji' are both terrific. 'Benji' is probably the best thing i've heard this year so far.


I've also been going back to Nick Cave a lot recently; for some reason it always surprises me just how good his back catalogue is. Been giving a lot of time to 'Tender Prey', 'Murder Ballads', 'No More Shall We Part' and 'Boatman's Call'.

This might get snorky out of his slumber, but No More Shall We Part is an almost faultless album!!


I'll give Benji a quick spotify then, see if they can redeem themselves after the horror of Tiny Cities. I liked the Red House Painters, so something should gel.

I liked her first album, but not given her much attention since- agreed that she's good live though. I saw her supporting Grizzly Bear (with LSO) at the Barbican a few years back. That Grizzly Bear gig was one of the best i've ever seen.


I gave her new one a couple of runs through but it didn't grab me at all. I shall revisit.

Yes! This.


If you've never seen them live then you must. A Slide-In at the Queen's Head is something to behold. For me the best band to come out of England in the last 20 years. The album is also a corker. I love 'em.

They're off to the SXSW Festival next week in Austin, Texas so when they get back I'll sort out a gig we can go to. Mind you, don't think they'll be doing the Tulse Hill Tavern or the Queen's Head anymore now unless it's hush hush as they're getting quite a bit of press and airplay now and the gigs are rammed to the rafters now the trendies have latched onto them.

    • The sites in question though are not comparable to the builders yard by the station and less likely to be granted planning permission for 9 storey buildings. The builders yard fronts on to the railway line on one side and virtually no residential property surrounding on the other sides. The Gibbs & Dandy /Kwikfit and ED trading trading estate are surrounded at close proximity by residential, and in the case of the latter a Grade II building, so there would more stringent height restrictions. Both these sites are tired and in need of development to provide much needed housing.
    • Not sure if this is any help but was initally told to use google chrome as the browser and the code was the reference. However the person at Southwark parking took pity on me and did it for me 
    • I can see how it could've worked 20 or 30 years ago, when you couldn't swing a pool cue in the Foresters without hitting a sparks, a plumber or a chippy, but the area has changed somewhat. I'm not sure people around here have such trade-able skills these days. Have a word with someone in your local and you'll see. People are always going to need their boiler fixed, a damp patch sorted or their dimmer switch dimmed, but I can pretty much guarantee I'm never going need my corporate policy complied with, my social media planned, my data mined, my green transport tsared, my information architected or my analytics analysed. It reminds me of the great DIY con of the mid to late seventies. My Mum bought into it, my Dad didn't. Anyway, my Mum won out and we let the gardener go (he went on to be TV's Timmy Mallett, so that's a warning from history), but my Dad shorted the house out and singed his head when he cut through the flex on his new Black & Decker hedge trimmer. We all laughed, of course, but he got his own back when, because we didn't use a qualified electrician to do things properly, she electrocuted herself when she pulled the back of the plug off her Carmen heated rollers while it was still in the socket. Keep things professional, say 'No!' to this sort of nonsense. We pay people a decent rate of pay because they're specialists at these things. I did once barter my sister's space hopper and roller skates for twenty-odd square foot of crazy paving, though. That was a birthday present my Mum never forgot, and not in a good way.  
    • Thanks both of you. I have also been having the same problem. I emailed the named person on the letter, with no response. I also tried phoning and was transferred to another number which cut me off. I hope they extend the deadline for applying as there are likely to be many people without a permit by the deadline for applying.
