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.

    • I can't answer your question. But on them generally: it's changed hands in the last year or so, I think. I paid £35 for interior and exterior and they did a crap job. I'll go to the one on Herne Hill (or just do it myself if health allows) next time.
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays! 
    • Was that the one where you put a coin in and it squirted water at you? what was the name of the one in hanway street - whatever you ordered it came on a segmented tray like you get in prison (I imagine). Prices were a steal.
