Mockney Piers again showing his taste, this time through music. Pretty impressive postings from everyone


I remember going to see Arcade Fire at the Sheffield Leadmill last year (pretty much last show they played before disappearing) and I said to my partner this would be last time we saw them anywhere so small.


I had NO IDEA however that they would sell out the Academy in brixton several nights running. Good on 'em


I would add to anyones list, former ED resident Cathal Coughlan. Sometimes I do this too forcefully but still..

I am mostly listening to:


At the drive in

god speed you black emperor

jenny lewis and the watson twins

modest mouse

regina spektor

smog

sufjan stevens

the decemberists

the fratellis


also have to mention the new pornogrohers (well, the bleeding herat show), buck 65 and devil eyes, bit of joanne newsome (ys on the to buy list)sigur ros and hopp?polla.


I mostly listen to Neutral Milk Hotel - in the aeroplane over the sea. I have done for a while now!

Think I'd do the same blinder (if I'd thought of it!). I listen to it all the time, but its still exciting, fresh, interesting etc.

[for the top comment]

Went to see Jet a Hammersmith Apollo last night. For those who don't know them, they're a Melbourne outfit.


Jet are not a band you'd ever accuse of originality, they sound like AC/DC, and the Rolling Stones, with bits of Beatles, Oasis, U2 and various others thrown in... However, they're good at what they do, and it was a fun energetic gig, and the lights were fantastic, although my friend felt they were a bit too much, as it made it quite difficult to actually watch the band, and people were turning their heads away so as to avoid having their retinas burnt out!!!


Also, for anyone in to their rock, it's rumoured (please let it be true), that the reformed Smashing Pumkins will be headlining Reading this year along with the Chilli Peppers..... Saw the Smashing Pumkins when I was about 16 (around 94), and it was the loudest gig I've ever been to!!! >:D<

keef - still to this day, no matter how many gigs i've been to, the pumpkins melon collie tour was the best concert I have ever seen. to start the whole gig with the steve mcqueen car chase on a massive screen was $%?&! dynamite. support act was Def FX - part Goth/Punk outfit. ahhh......psychoactive summer like no other....

I haven't done tango at Thomas Moore but I did do tango at the Horniman museum a year ago. Not sure if its the same people doing both - they were called Mandacaru Dance theatre. Was good fun and were fun people there. By the way Polly, congrats on the engagement!

Doubt I'll be at the GM as I'll be at the Flow festival In Helsinki but that Tunng record is great.

Now listening to -

    • This is a remarkable interpretation of history. Wikipedia (with more footnotes and citations than you could shake a shitty stick at sez: The austerity programme was initiated in 2010 by the Conservative and Liberal Democrat coalition government. In his June 2010 budget speech, Osborne identified two goals. The first was that the structural current budget deficit would be eliminated to "achieve [a] cyclically-adjusted current balance by the end of the rolling, five-year forecast period". The second was that national debt as a percentage of GDP would fall. The government intended to achieve both of its goals through substantial reductions in public expenditure.[21] This was to be achieved by a combination of public spending cuts and tax increases amounting to £110 billion.[26] Between 2010 and 2013, the Coalition government said that it had reduced public spending by £14.3 billion compared with 2009–10.[27] Growth remained low, while unemployment rose. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_government_austerity_programme From memory, last time around they were against the LTNs and competing with the Tories to pick up backlash votes - both failed. They had no counterproposals or ideas about how to manage congestion or pollution. This time around they're simply silent on the matter: https://www.southwark-libdems.org.uk/your-local-lib-dem-team/goosegreen Also, as we have seen from Mr Barber's comments on the new development on the old Jewsons yard, "leading campaigns to protect the character of East Dulwich and Goose Green" is code for "blocking new housing".
    • @Insuflo NO, please no, please don't encourage him to post more often! 😒
    • Revealing of what, exactly? I resurrected this thread, after a year, to highlight the foolishness of the OP’s op. And how posturing would be sagacity is quickly undermined by events, dear boy, events. The thread is about Mandelson. I knew he was a wrong ‘un all along, we all did; the Epstein shit just proves it. In reality, Kinnock, Blair, Brown, Starmer et all knew as well but accepted it, because they found him useful. As did a large proportion of the 2024 intake of Labour MPs who were personally vetted and approved by Mandelson.
