Great choice Piers. Always a winner with me.


This was the track used at this year's Labour conference. Now it may be lyrically suspect but WHAT a tune! And to think we had to put up with D-Ream:




I could dance to this all night long - and have done.

JOAN BAEZ - I don't know much about her, other than she once shacked up with Bob Dylan. So she's probably quite folky then. I've been sent tickets for her gig tomorrow night (Thursday 2nd) at the Royal Albert Hall. They are really lovely stalls seats and I don't want them to go to waste. If anyone would like to go and can collect the tickets from me tonight in LL then please PM me and you can have them with my compliments.
TALKING HEADS anyone? Not really, but David Byrne with a promise to do all the Talking Heads hits. So what's not to like? Playing two nights at the Festival Hall next April and on sale tomorrow. I'm a member at the RFH so I bought my tickets this morning. Ticket sales just to members have been substantial - so if you want to go get on the phone tomorrow and book it. The RFH still takes returns so if can't plan this far ahead then book it anyway - if you can't go you can still get a refund.

If Mockney Piers doesn't like this I'll eat my alt.country stetson:


Guardian article about First Aid Kit - "dazzling, pine-scented folk that sounds deeply in thrall to the country-infused Americana of Neil Young, Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris, and also gives a nod to the more recent twists added by Conor Oberst and Bon Iver."

Their cover of the Fleet Foxes

You're not coming home hooked me immediately.

Nice!!! Cheers D_C.


Rather confused by the category "Folk / Acoustic / Japanese Pop" on myspace?!?

Are Fleet Foxes like that? I see their albums on the cheap in Fopp all the time Might have to give them a go.

    • I think it's a good idea and follows the example of other towns/areas. As it says in the article, the area around the main tourist attractions in Southwark, that is The Globe, Southwark Cathedral, Tate Modern and the whole walking route from London Bridge to Blackfriars, takes a lot of maintaining and it shouldn't be a burden on regular council tax payers like us.
