I'll see your Billy Ocean with the cream of eighties super-stardom:


Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer


which suddenly made me think of:


MC Hammer - Can't touch this


and through train of thought to:


DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince - Boom Boom Shake the Room


I'm done now, sorry.

from the "whatever happened to" website

After the release of their debut LP, Totally Krossed Out, in 1991, Chris Kelly and Chris Smith got everyone to wear their clothes backwards. But only for a little while. Then they made their comeback with Young, Rich and Dangerous (1996), although they were neither young, rich, nor dangerous. Whatever happened to them remains a mystery, but be comforted that their producer, Jermaine Dupri, is not doing much either nowadays, and that a fanatic fan has started his own Kris Kross Day, wherein everyone wears their clothes backwards. The last Kris Kross Day managed to turn out a whopping 20 participants, up fourteen people from three years ago. Where's the love? Oh, there it is.

Oh keef, look what you've gone and reminded me of you bad man.

Vanilla Ica - Ninja Rap


Go nin-ja go nin-ja go!


Mind you, on the bright side, that's gone and reminded me that I'm sorry, if I upset ya, to get the better of me I wouldn't let ya

Paranoid - the song that never gets old -


Judas Priest - that one always reminds me of Beavis and Butthead


ANd have a big hug for even knowing Microdisney existed much less the new compilations was out. Also out this week is a 2CD rerelease of the Fatima Mansions finest hour (arguably) - Viva Dead Ponies

Mockney, can't find any rockers using Moogs, might need to wait until Progressive Thursday to unleash the ELP / Yes tracks but they mustn't overlap with Krautrock Friday

Hawkwind - Silver Machine - Don't think it's a Moog, possibly a ring modulator of some kind?

Bloody hell! Hawkwind. That takes me back. Windsor Free festivals, early 70s. Stacia, the dancer, she of the enormous boobs and crazed make-up would dance naked in front of the band. Half of the audience would be tripping, including myself, the band too. Took an awful lot of acid when I was a teenager and they were part of the soundtrack.

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
