Yes yes felt-tip. I feel it's not as good as Immers 1&2, but it's pretty fine all the same.


I'm listening to Matthew Dear's new one 'Black City' on Spotify. Techno/pop crossover (that sounds awful eh?). So far it's a bit patchy, but still has some dazzling moments.

sorry to get all comprehensive, but just yesterday, elsewhere in the ether we were having an early 2010 retrospective, so a C&P is easier. My list of the year so far:


OUTSTANDING


Janelle Monae

Arcade Fire

The National

Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti


Excellent


Avi Buffalo

Male Bonding

Wavves

Morning Benders

School of Seven Bells

Joanna Newsom

Gorillaz

Jonsi

Pantha du Prince

Caribou

Bill Callahan (live album)

Big Boi

Archie Bronson Outfit


Good


Dum Dum Girls

Broken Bells

BRMC

MGMT

Woodpigeon

Beach House

The Tallest Man on Earth

Nedry

Jamie Lidell

The Black Keys

Gil Scott Heron

Holy Fuck

LCD Soundsystem


Meh


Nas & Damian Marley

Best Coast

Robyn

Band of Horses

Future Islands

Mumford & Sons

Would add Tame Impala to the upper quartile of your list - and Tokyo Police Club should make the good section.


Seems a bit harsh on Best Coast - is this not just a reaction to the not inconsiderable hype?


And Band of Horses is definitely a let down compared to previous.


Sleigh Bells I like (insert your own joke about early for Christmas) - sounds like something that shouldn't work but does.

I loved the tame impala single, but not got round to listening to the album yet...similarly with best coast; i adore 'when i'm with you', but the album just seems like the same song over and over again. The whole 60's surf pop sound is very in at the moment, and it seems to me like they're just riding the crest of the wave (excellent pun very much intended) without offering much new (i know, why change a winning formula?). For me Wavves second album does it a lot better though.

    • I know I'm a bit premature but don't want to forget through too much Chrisntas cheer! Southwark Council Christmas trees recycling arrangements 2025 - bit worrying for the future that they're emphasising the free bit. "We’ll collect and recycle your real Christmas tree for free!  Trees should not be taller than 5ft. You should chop any taller trees into smaller pieces. Remove all decorations and the pot or stand and recycle it by: putting your tree with your garden waste containers on collection day requesting a free collection if you do not have a garden waste collection  taking it to our Reuse and Recycling Centre [43 Devon Street, SE15 1AL open 08:30-16:30 Mon-Sun] If you live in a flat you must leave the tree: outside on the kerb visible for the collection crew not in a bin store" I'll add the link to the collection booking service when it opens on 22 December. 
    • Most homes in East Dulwich / Good Green ward have collections on Tuesdays or Wednesdays. So no changes for them this year.  But for those few local homes with collections normally on Thursdays or Friday, with Christmas, Boxing day happening on Thursday and Friday any blue, brown or green bin collections will be delayed by two days. So Thursday 25 December collections will be on Saturday 27 December and Friday 26 December collections on Sunday 28 December. For New Years day those Thursday collections will be on the Friday 2 January and those with normal collections of Fridays that will be on Saturday 3 January. To double check when your Southwark Council rubbish, recycling, food waste, garden waste collections will be taking place please please check here - https://services.southwark.gov.uk/bins/lookup
    • Luckily I don't really any regular reason to park at Dawson Heights.  It must be very difficult for the residents I do feel for them.  Thank you for them.  I just presumed that Southwark owned the estate and would be responsible for parking enforcement there.
