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.

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.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      While they struggle with economics of UK plc, collectively we all suffer as a result of their ineptitude.

      I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.

      I wouldn't feel too bad about that. It's one of the few degree areas that you can do a BA or a BSc in, so it's a fairly wide-ranging and complex subject. Certainly Truss, Kwasi and Reeves seem to struggle with it.

      I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided.
