What is East Dulwich Listening to?

[Sue]

Well I embedded a jolly youtube clip from the Memphis Jug Band, and in the middle when I played it back was some hideous noise of something else, so I'll try again .... grrrrr

The new Kendrick Lamaar album. It's flippin brilliant

[Jeremy]

I sometimes wonder what this thread would look like if everyone was a bit more honest.

Yeah I know Mcluksy had a reunion, but it's just a load of noise.

Iron & Wine? Who?

I'd forgotten how good "Slippery When Wet" really is

[KidKruger]

OK. Jessie J.

[Otta]

Biggest ear worm for me recently has been this

Which is not that new, but I'm pretty out of touch. Anyway, cool or not, I think it's a pretty great vocal from both of them, and a bloody catchy hook!

[steveo]

I don't know who either of them are but yes, very nice.

YouTube was asking me if I wanted to meet older Russian women when it was playing

[Otta]

You don't know who Christina Aguilera is? Really?

I'm not a fan of much of her stuff, but I think she has an amazing voice.

[steveo]

Is she the one who likes performing in her pants?

[El Pibe]

i think that's all of them now isn't it?

[Jah Lush]

Downloaded the new EP yesterday and it is superb.

Old Nun's Head tomorrow night (Friday)

Heard this for the first time today. Had me almost weeping by the end of it. How does Dylan do this? He's written so many great songs that have been unreleased for decades and when they finally are you're baffled as to why they weren't. This is up there with any of his great love songs. Just gorgeous.

A couple of albums by the criminally underrated Oliver Cherer (aka Dollboy).

Beard of Bees is understated, sun-soaked folk.

Sir Oliffe Leigh & Other Ghosts is beautiful English pastoral folk with a drop of Robert Wyatt-ness thrown in.

Both are utterly gorgeous.

[Jeremy]

Yes, all sounds very nice, but what about that new Olly Murs single? Eh?

[titch juicy]

Olly Murs seems like a likeable young chap.

But, have a listen to a couple of tracks on those albums. So much of the very best music is made by people that don't care a jot for commercial success and therefore don't trouble the playlists of commercial radio or radio 1.

Oliver's (Cherer, not Murs) work is a joy.

[Jeremy]

I was being facetious... I have no interest in Olly Murs, or Radio 1. Sorry, my sarcastic humour doesn't always come across in written form...

[titch juicy]

Ha! fairplay

[Hawley]

This lot:

 

[Jah Lush]

Cheers, Hawley. I like that. Haven't pinpointed what it reminds me of though. There's something familiar there but I like it.

[Hawley]

Little bit like Spacemen 3, maybe even a touch of Velvet Underground?

[Jah Lush]

Yeah, reminds of the intros to Waiting for the Man and also Sister Ray. But the connection I was thinking of is Wooden Shjips, I believe the guitarist is still in them and this is a side project.

I'd forgotten about this track too.

 

[ruffers]

On a very random mix this morning Laid Back - Bakerman. Matched my mood at the time perfectly.

 

[El Pibe]

new modest mouse

5 years in the making and it sounds exactly like the last one, with a couple of hits from the previous one thrown in.

sad face.

Titch, gave that Ollife chap a listen, nice.

Have you listened to any Darren Hayman (or his Raw Sex alter ego 'French')? Passing similarities here and there so you might like.

[Jah Lush]

Good advice from a local species.
