They just mentioned the distillers on the radio and reminded me how much I like this song


The Distillers - City of Angels


That should noisy up an otherwise quiet and overcast Wednesday afternoon for you.


Apparently the singer is a Kiwi or Australian or something like that.

I used to listen to this song on my walkman and sing it out loud when I was a kid in the park just up from my house in Empire Bay.. I particularly loved the line about the vegemite sandwich..I recently introduced Mrs Strawbs (Jaws) to it and she thought it was quite funny..



sorry no song to contribute as I am blocked to all sites at work.. :(

I bought the excellent Love Story on DVD at the weekend, and would highly recommend it to anybody with an interest in the band, or the sixties LA scene in general.. Interviews with pretty much the whole band, and lots of light shed on how it all went wrong after the sheer genius of Forever Changes.

    • I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.  
    • In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.
    • There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can. 
    • Like I thought… prob like that for most of the day.. especially after people had walked their dogs, with friends, relatives  kids…
