What is East Dulwich Listening to?

[drum_saturdaygirl]

Having had a deep discussion for the last 2 hours about music with my best friend, i think it could only be fair for you to join me in praising, the wonderful, the magnificent, Paul Morrissey.

Currently rifling through all the Smiths collections since 1984......well before i was born but there you go......

*sigh*

Has anybody heard local band called Wake? They're dead good......

[blinder999]

Steven Patrick innit? Genius, yes. Must go and dig out Hatful of Hollow.

[mockney piers]

Drum, yes they've been mentioned over here in the music room

I am the proud owner, still, of vinyl copy of A Life With Brian.

Had a rather funny baggy episode recently. I did a little DJing course at a certain London DJ school last autumn, the tutor being an old hand who is now mainly 'left-coast' (leftfield west-coast hip hop) but had DJed most things over the years. And of course we all took along some records to practice with. And among my collection was the 12" Fool's Gold. Which he promptly used to compare with a more recent record to demonstrate a particular feature of modern music (over compression, lack of dynamic range). He was drooling over my records like...a teenager! Sooo sweet. Actually, the young boys in the class were also a bit weird about the Roses 12": "Is that an 'original'? Oooh, it must be worth loads!"

I used to see my 1960s coffee sets in museums, but I have recently started to see some of my records at places like the V&A and the Design Museum. It's all starting to make me feel a bit old...

If you want to feel old, go to the museum of childhood. I went round going "I had that...and that...and that".

[mockney piers]

How excited am I?

Popped into Fopp to find Modest Mouse's new album (We were dead before the ship even sank) is out already.

Hurrah!!

Transient random noise bursts with announcements.

[mockney piers]

I couldn't have described LCD Soundsytem better myself? (overrated rubbish does spring to mind though)

Or are you stuck in victoria station Starbucks?

Just got the new Maximo Park album. It's not bad. :)

Does that mean it's not good either?

[Ant]

It means it's not an out and out blinder. I've only managed two somewhat distracted listens so far and so I can't say a lot more than that. But yes, it's good.

[mockney piers]

Smog (this time as Bil Callahan) has released a new one today. Not as sparse and windswept as A River Ain't Too Much, but good stuff nevertheless. Here's a bit of smog in action live http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAjUxpcB0pw

Also got Coco Rosies's new one, but not had a chance to listen to it yet.

Blinder, did you get the new Bright Eyes yet? What's it like, he cheered up yet ;)

[capt_birdseye]

Is everyone here a bit highbrow for the Kings of Leon?

[mockney piers]

No way!! Love them and their daft beardy ways.

What's their new album like? I've been umming and ahhing every time I pass it by.

[capt_birdseye]

Heard it for the first time today, needs a few listens I would guess. Not so many catchy tunes this time but sounds promising.

Lol, I actually have Lingalongamax on vinyl tucked away in the attic somewhere!!

[capt_birdseye]

I used to have that William Shatner record, The Transformed Man, it was mental!

[Jah Lush]

A guilty pleasure surely Mockney? Get it out of the attic and onto your decks. Long overdue for a remix I reckon. Maybe get Aphex Twin to do it.

[mockney piers]

I think it was last played at an exceedingly drunken new years at the old ancestral home. We were in the garden with it playing at full pelt while we played launch ourselves across the frozen pond (yes it was so long ago, water froze in the winter!!)

[Keef]

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Original motion picture soundtrack... Now that IS what I call music :-S I actually did buy that with my pocket money many years ago.
