Jah - how were the Handsome Family? I'm very jealous I didn't get to go.....hope it was a good 'un.


Anyhoo....have some Kenny Anderson. Because he deserves a greater audience than he gets, because he's excellent and because I know some people will like it....

I wasn't overly familiar with their stuff but the little that I'd heard I'd really liked. They were excellent and I really enjoyed their set. I liked the humour in the darkness of the lyrics and and the harmonies were beautiful so I'll definitely be investing in some of their CDs as soon as possible.

Wot?s post rock? Is it like post punk? (An odd fabrication in itself) or is it posties rocking out in their spare time? Or 9 minute long power ballads with 5 minute guitar solos about missing parcels? Or angry 1 minute long 3 chord rants about stupid posts on internet forums? Or the official music of the Society for the Provision of Support for Fences? Or an obscure musical genre inspired by the ever present but often undervalued need to keep telephone lines out of the road?

Like most labels it's meaningless in itself.


It's basically Prog (oops, another label) with louder guitars and bigger sounds.


God Speed You Black Emperor, Explosions in the Sky, Sigur Ros, 65 Days of Static etc are probably the most famous post rockers.


Or according to wikipedia on one of it's uncensored pages "It is the use of 'rock instrumentation' for non-rock purposes. Practitioners of the genre's style typically produce instrumental music."

Which sounds like nonsense to me.

    • Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.
    • Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.      
    • Hi all Does anyone know someone who can make a window seat cushion and cover? See image of window seat. Thank you.
    • Don't know why but it seems like there have been impromptu fireworks since early September. At one point I even wondered if there was a shooting range or something like that over Dulwich Hamlet way- the direction where the firework sounds seem to be coming from? Is there some kind of new, fireworks craze going on and where are people getting them, out of season?
