Am going through a huge Soft Machine phase at the moment.


ditto. you tubes great for really early glimpses. Ive got a fun story about one of them. The keyboard guy with the dark glasses Mike. I used to live a few doors down from him in Hackney. I could see over his garden from my bedsit. In that garden was just flat earth, no grass or beds or borders. Mud. In the very middle of that was one daffodil plant. He had a beaten up old porsche that was festooned inside with sheet music. Also a wife who wore the same kind of rectangular shades as he. Kind of kept his head down, but did well on the "Im a fan , like your music a lot".

Thanks for the Nick Drake, DC


As it happens I posted a Drake song "Northern Sky" in a thread called "Songs that bring a tear" some time back. Obviously have to get onto that lazy Admin guy to get him to sharpen up his lazy-arse act with that search box thingummy.

You're welcome CitizenED. He's one of my faves.


As he's playing in town this week (although I'm sadly not going) I thought I'd have a bit of the King (no, the other King)....the King of Rock 'n' Soul!


Solomon Burke - Don't Give Up On Me


and also, for all you Wire fans the season three closing montage...


Solomon Burke - Fast Train

    • From memory foxes only became a regular sight in the 90s, the attached article says they first appeared in the 30s becoming far more common in the 80s.  Apparently, whilst we think that urban foxes live longer than rural due to their 'easy' life few will make it over the age of two.  In towns they are far more crowded than their natural habitat where they are more territorial. I've never seen foxes and cats fighting but once saw two cats squaring up to each other and a watching fox went up and butted its head against one of the cats.  There's a video on youtube of a cat and fox facing off when the cat is eating outside, but it wont let me embed on this post.  Get too close and I'll scratch you. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/oct/15/urban-foxes-are-they-fantastic-or-a-growing-menace My main issue is leaving things out like gardening gloves and they go or are shredded.  One stole a bag of bird food in front of me, took it next door, shredded the bag and then left it.  
    • I was trying to remember when Franklins moved to Lordship Lane from Walworth Road where it was combined with an antique/bric a brac shop. Mid 1990s, first wave ED gentrification?
    • Hello, I lost a babies blanket between Tessa Jowell and the Picture House on Lordship Lane 😞It is teal colour with the name Cillian embroidered on it.  If anyone sees/finds it please let me know.  Thank you! 
    • Good to hear Sue - I  love Franklin’s  Although to be fair it would be a mad world where decades old local institution couldn’t do much better than (gawd help us all) a generic Youngs pub  (I had better meals in that place when it was the vale and ran by the Murphia. And that was fairly poor food even then )
