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.

    • Another recommendation for Oddbods. As proof of our satisfaction we've asked them to return for some more jobs, which is sign we were happy with their work
    • Most of the groceries shops in Lordship Lane have a security presence…curious thing is I and another woman recently saw a shop lifter lift and not pay for a couple of packet of steaks, veg and bottle of wine..  Literally walked Pat the tills, one member of staff and security guard despite someone else going in front by a few people and mentioning person in question! I have to say, speechless and admired their bravado - I would not have the guts and knowing my luck, if I accidentally didn’t put something tru the till despite receipt would prob get stopped! Yes, worked with families, homeless and other people who were struggling for food so I do understand why they do it.. sad when you think about it, that in this day and age, all sorts of c people need assistance and help from community in general, food banks, olio etc….
    • Just not keen to have all these  things  in my body… having said  that, thinking about Covid again as need to come to London to two hospitals for poss overnight stays. 
    • And another one, number 6, has just gone passed as well!  I presume that the LTNs are blocking them from a more useful route. Or the surrounding road works.
