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.

      Dog Kennel Hill School to change name

      By FatherJack · Posted

      DKH was two form entry, it is now one form entry to cope with the fact it was far more under subscribed than other schools in the area. They had actually combined year groups into single classes, 3/4 and 5/6.  When a school changes name, it’s usually because of a bad reputation perhaps the results.  The new name is dry with no history unlike its current name. It’s a very sketchy decision. It’s an expensive vanity project for someone.  What  will happen if the name change does not increase applications to the school?

      Nasty kids in Peckham Park

      By MCK100 · Posted

      @first mate I assume Alice made a mistake, as she removed her reaction.  I was wondering about park wardens. As I said, there was one there last night, who was incredibly helpful and proactive. As well as bringing me to the police, he caught up with a young guy on a bike who'd earlier been the victim of an attempted theft by these kids and linked him up with the police too. But I do wonder, as I've only very occasionally seen him riding around, how many they have and what hours they patrol. I've no doubt they'd be a strong deterrent if they had a better presence. They were nowhere to be seen the first time around.  Update: I've just found this: https://services.southwark.gov.uk/community-safety/community-wardens The guy in the photo at the bottom of the page was the lovely warden of last night and I've just now remembered him telling me he's based in Burgess Park. Anyway, there needs to be more of them, as I rarely see one in Peckham.

      Some of us oldies would associate Grove with the old Grove Vale School (which I went to in the 1950s)
