Here's what what modest mouse is about and why tiny cities was such a disaster,



you can't take their dissection of society and make it onto skinny love!!!!

and have just double checked The Lonesome Crowded West. I have every tune marked as 5/5. Either I've had some weird nights or I'm a bit wrong,

Just checked them all, cant argue against any mark.

I lie, track 2 was a mere 7

OK, apologies for getting carried away, this started as a list of five albums. The missus is away and I have to do something with my time.

Stumbled upon a rerelease of Pauline Murray and the Invisible Girls.


Quite blown away by it.

Perhaps its the lack of familiarity with it, but it has aged incredibly well, it sounds alot fresher than many of its more successful contemporaries.


I wonder why they never eally followed it up

    • a (clean) nappy/pamper, it was like it had snowed in the garden.  The absorbent stuff inside spread everywhere.  Can I have my gardening gloves back please.
    • They've left all kinds of things in my garden including gardening gloves and shoes, not to mention scavenged food and packaging. Once they left an unopened vacuum pack of smoked trout, the next day some pita bread. All a bit biblical.
    • From memory foxes only became a regular sight in the 90s, the attached article says they first appeared in the 30s becoming far more common in the 80s.  Apparently, whilst we think that urban foxes live longer than rural due to their 'easy' life few will make it over the age of two.  In towns they are far more crowded than their natural habitat where they are more territorial. I've never seen foxes and cats fighting but once saw two cats squaring up to each other and a watching fox went up and butted its head against one of the cats.  There's a video on youtube of a cat and fox facing off when the cat is eating outside, but it wont let me embed on this post.  Get too close and I'll scratch you. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/oct/15/urban-foxes-are-they-fantastic-or-a-growing-menace My main issue is leaving things out like gardening gloves and they go or are shredded.  One stole a bag of bird food in front of me, took it next door, shredded the bag and then left it.  
    • I was trying to remember when Franklins moved to Lordship Lane from Walworth Road where it was combined with an antique/bric a brac shop. Mid 1990s, first wave ED gentrification?
