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

    • Hey - I’ve got a spare adult ticket if you want it?
    • Not sure what you mean by "involved with firework enjoyment"? I'm all for others enjoying themselves, and I like fireworks, but if they were limited to public displays then people could still enjoy them? Having said that, I see that tickets for the London New Year fireworks start at £20 (Dawson's Heights it is,  then!) The fireworks in Brockwell Park used to be free. I don't know why those don't happen any more?
    • Really interesting discussion here. It's difficult to respect the views of people who support Farage, Trump, Musk etc. Why should we, when their views are deplorable. But then that exact 'deplorable' label, as we know, is counterproductive and drives people to double down / switch off to more progressive views. How do you actually help change minds? We're currently spiralling into dark places culturally and politically imo. The amount of open racism, even amongst front line politicians here and in the US is astounding to me. Feels like we're going backwards. The influence of social media and the tech billionaires / bros, is a powerful and largely malignant one. There was an enlightening (and frightening) bit of journalism by Sky this week about Musk's influence on British politics. He has a strange obsession with the UK and London in particular (as do many on the US right wing): https://news.sky.com/story/the-x-effect-how-elon-musk-is-boosting-the-british-right-13464487
