Sky Larkin - The Golden Spike.


Quirky lyrics*, jangly guitar pop with shades of Belly, Sugarcubes and a bit of Echobelly.

If that sounds good I highly recommend.

Iron & Wine is great



at this very moment listening to "The Old Kit Bag " album by Richard Thompson

Uh, sorry, but modern Snow Patrol is really good -at least to these codgerish ears. Ok, naive, but gets at a certain unvarnished truth emotional truth. Is it hopelessly naff to like Kings of Leon? That guy's voice is deeply special - and vibes on that rarest of things - honestly expressed male passion and vulnerability.

Paper Planes by MIA is this wonky/skanky celebration of sudden-death sink estate culture.Scary but compelling and ridiculously catchy. Weirdly featured in Slumdog.

Anyone know Schnauss? Modern German bloke who's electronica is a kind of blissed out exploration of mood and theme.


Ok, end of wank-a-thon.


Pip pip!

    • Looking for around half a dozen concrete pavers ( the tinner ones) should measure 44c44cmx by 32mm thick
    • I would imagine that the evidence shows that protein powder is not suitable for under 18s whatever the brand.  Staff should’ve known that.
    • I'm not sure it's sensible  to presume any agreement from interlocutors, but if you do, then I do agree that it's the right thing to say so. My own guess -- it's nothing more -- is that the officers were acting just to effect an arrest on arrival, as requested, quite possibly without any knowledge of the content of wretched tweet at all*, and that their being armed was absolutely incidental.  But I don't know any reliable facts. I do think the turning up (5?) en masse to do so was possibly complacent and unthinking, if there was no reason to believe the arrestee was a threat.  If they had  been doing so for good reason, I guess they could have had at least one weapon trained at him, and had  him hands above head or on the ground in no time.  But I know no reliable facts of the incident whatsoever.  Perhaps they were Father Ted fans -- seriously -- and trogged along, on a quiet afternoon, to see the man himself.  Perhaps they and/or their CO will get a severe bollocking from above.  I don't know. * But even that with some reservations.  The last time I looked up cases on wrongful arrest, years ago, I think I remember there being held then to be at least some onus on the acting arresting officer to be satisfied that  the required grounds for a lawful arrest  did exist.  And I don't know any of the facts of the present case. 
    • They carry guns at the airport.  It may not make it ok but that is a fact.  In France and America they all carry guns.
