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......

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...

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 ;)

CD Times are doing one of those interminable top album lists.

So obviously I can't resist.

1. The Wombles Party Album

2. Charlie Drake sings Nick Drake

3. .....

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!!)

    • Hi Sue, they were not local solicitors. Andrea’s was based in Wales and the other firms involved were large nationwide conveyancing companies (rather than conventional high street solicitors). I’m happy to advise clients and buyers privately on what I believe to be their shortcomings but I don’t think doing so in public on the forum would be appropriate, particularly as they are not locally based. My general advice would always be to steer clear of the big conveyancing companies as they are, in my experience, notoriously difficult to contact when the need arises and the case handler is often not a fully qualified solicitor and so issues have to be referred upwards to “technical teams” internally, which was part of the problem in Andrea’s chain.

    • A slightly vulnerable but hopeful post… Hi everyone, I’m a guy in my mid-thirties who’s recently moved back to London and East Dulwich (I previously lived here for many years before, so I know the area well). But if I’m honest, I’ve found the return a little tough. Most of my close friends have moved out of London to start families — totally understandable — but it’s left me feeling a bit adrift and not quite sure how to make new connections again. Work has taken up a huge chunk of my life in recent years, and I’ve definitely let hobbies, interests and a proper social life fall by the wayside. I feel like I went from a fun social life in my 20’s to suddenly blinking and realising things had gone a bit er…quiet. So, I’m trying to redress the balance a bit — mainly so myself and my partner don’t murder each other 😂, and just to meet some new local faces. I was wondering: is anyone else in a similar boat? And would there be any interest in starting a relaxed, low-key local social group? Could be a casual pub meet, sports, park hangouts, live comedy nights — open to ideas!  I’m happy to do the organising/admin side of things — just wanted to put it out there and see if there’s any appetite. I’ll gauge interest and take it from there.  If you’d prefer not to reply publicly, feel free to drop me a DM.  Cheers all! 👋
