AS our days are filled with ennui, we can help each other survive them here.

First up I offer a curious remix of Secret Meeting by The National

In fact the whole blimmin album!

[Keef]

Can the BatDogs rehearse in here please?

[mockney piers]

sure, as long as they unearth funky tunes and post a link while they're at it ;)

[mockney piers]

Shameless plug but they're actually quite good.

They're Dublin lads and I did the photo for the CD cover of their first single, woo.

Pilotlight

[CrystalClear]

And I'm currently wearing their pin badge.....

[mockney piers]

Ok another for you, not a shameless plug this time, I don't know these people, just a lovely song, by a band called My Latest Novel from bonnie scotland.

Dear Ms Shambles,

You are so cosmo! I am so bloomin square - I think the last CD I bought was Take That, and I love it. I am showing my age.........

[shambles]

hey DM check this out - really made me smile!

Dear Ms Shambles,

James and I have been rolling about laughing at this! We even danced to it in the end. We have made a pact to buy this recording, and play it at the Max and Freya's weddings, so that we can dance in the manner of this man 'Matt' in order to appropriately embarass the children. It is a key part of growing older - to have parents who dance badly at events of significance - don't you agree?

Thank you so much for this clip - it has made our evening.

You Keef,

Why don't you call your band the "keefies" or even better the "mockneys", I am sure Wogan will find you a slot in the next eurovision context...ha...ha..!!! >:D<

[mockney piers]

Shambles, had a listen and they're alright as it goes.

Play locally do they, or is he a northern gooner type too? ;)

My music link of today is stark, icy norse mood music.

Sadly they don't have the simply stunning "den her sang hander om at fa det bedste ud af det" available, but if you're a fan of sigur ros et al, you'll like this.

[mockney piers]

And just to cheer you up after that you absolutely MUST watch this video that proves once and for all that not all swedes are beautiful, but that they do all make fantastic pop music

[shambles]

where on earth did you find that piers!!! reminds me of what an EDF choir might look like!! great lyrics too :-)

my little bro has played in London at the half moon amongst other venues - thinks he's Jeff Buckley (but he's not..sshh!)

DM - glad you enjoyed the dancing - i quite agree with you about how embarrassing your kids is every parents god given right! i don't need to try too hard!!

[dulwichmum]

Dear Ms Shambles,

My word we are just exhausted. James and I have been dancing with the children to that youtube clip you put on last night. What a laugh we have had! And to think I was going to a parenting course to take the arguements out of bed time...

Thanks for making our evenings fun.

DMx

[shambles]

ok.for all young bunny's.. :-)

[mockney piers]

As ever an antidote.

[mockney piers]

Excited CrytalClear?

[CrystalClear]

yeah, I'd read johnny marr had joined them too. Very excited, great song and video (for the new single). Have been huming it all afternoon! :))

[mockney piers]

Here's a happy little ditty by the Little Ones. slightly odd video, I like to think it's EDFers emerging in to the quiet room, but always got time for a rubik's cube.

They were so easy to do once you cracked the whole they're swappable stickers thing.

Hope you enjoy

[CrystalClear]

[mockney piers]

In a change from the usual here's a weakly musically themed (das boot) comedy classic clip

[mockney piers]

Ok, some music, its choonage friday after all.

Lovely stuff from Broken Social Scene

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JW7OHINl35k&mode=related&search=

It's in the slightly odd 7/4 time signature of Heart Of Glass fame.

[blinder999]

ooh yes this is my fave BSS track from the great You Forgot It In People
