I'm almost loathe to post here as it's all a load of made-up elitist nonsense that is designed purely to flatter our own own egomaniacal overinflated sense of self-worth and nobody pays attention anyway, buuuut this came up on my shuffle, a lovely song.


Midlake - Roscoe

Their first album was a sort of psychedelic beach boys, but I really love the follow up The Trials of Van Occupanther.

There's more than a smidgeon of the Mac in there, I'd place them a bit closer to Steely Dan though myself.


In fact just about anything on the Bella Union label is usually at least worth checking out.

Leave the music thread alone! For me, it's a very rich source of music that I've never heard before. Most of the music on this thread wouldn?t get radio play. Most of my CD collection wouldn?t get radio play. Bring it on. It really never occurred to me that people might be showing off. Why would you even think that though?


Mockney - you do realise don't you that YOU started the Music thread? Well done. What did you actually have in mind originally though? Did that not pan out for you?

I think you may have missed the buckets of treacle like bitter irony I swamped that post, following some criticism in the other music thread and the threads to avoid thread. ;-)


Luckily only we merry band of few ever read this thread, so noone need ever know.


Here's a good'un by White Denim. Nice to see that old 70s style rock back in fashion, not sure who kicked it off, Kings of Leon, White Stripes? But with People like Comets on Fire and Wolfmother around, its a good time for it.

All you really have to do

I played the album that this is on for the first time in ages the other day. Produced by Andrew Weatherall and featuring the very lovely Dot Allison. I can't believe it's 15 years old. Where'd the frigging time go? Still, a tune and the album still sounds great.


One Dove - White Love

I can't get enough of this folk-pop stuff at the moment and these guys are as good as anything else I've heard.


(Unfortunately I'm not sure what track this is)


I particularly enjoy the fact that they used to be called 'Woodpigeon Divided By Antelope Equals Squirrel' but decided it was too unwieldy! They are described as a "sort of semi-acoustic Arcade Fire or a full-band version of Sufjan Stevens" which is about right.

    • I know people won’t have any sympathy but the SEND challenge was brought up when taxing parents who have opted for independent school to meet a child’s SEND needs. Funding crisis is getting worse and the VAT on Education pushed children out of independent schools, now their SEND needs are to be met by the state.
    • I completely agree with you - and last night was really terrible where I am. Between midnight and 1am was the worst, where it genuinely felt like a war zone. I had to run out of my house to try and stop a grown man setting them off in open space right by our front doors. In response he went to throw a half lit one at me and then seemed to think better of it. I am so sad at how bad the situation has got here and how selfish people are. Fireworks are bad for the environment and for pets and wildlife, as well as just being unnecessary noise for people too. I have sent an email today to Helen Hayes, which I have done previously on this issue. Would advise anyone to write to your MP to do the same, and to ask them to engage with the debates scheduled for 19 Jan. 
    • And they started long before midnight!
    • First mate - I wondered if I was imagining things at 4.45 this morning . Apparently not .
