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.

    • Closing down completely. The lovely people there are all retiring. Thanks, but Deptford is a long way to go to make two journeys to  take and collect a car! Do they not do even relatively minor repairs if it fails its MOT first time? Then that would require four journeys 😭 Wondering if there's already a thread on here for garage recommendations? People on my road WhatsApp group have recommended some local ones. I'm particularly gutted because apart from the lovely people who worked there,  Dell was a five minute walk for me!
    • I did think that might be the reason, but five years out of seven it's going to be a weekday (I think. Not sure how leap years might affect things!)
    • Probably because the 5th was a weekday. We still have the weekend to come. Also, some fireworks going off nearly every night for the last few months. Last night something was being let off that made a very deep booming noise every 10 seconds or so. That said, if the general public are beginning to see the harm done by firework noise and choosing to use low noise options and refusing to support organised events that still use the full throttle type, I for one would be very happy. Does anyone know if the Herne Hill Velodrome Halloween fireworks event used low noise options?
    • Are they like the 'Gilets Jaunes' with BTL mortgages?
