I love those cheesy ?80s videos like that one for Legs. They were always packed with characters: villains, heroes, underdogs who come out on top and pretty girls who are hard done by. A bit like ?80s films really.


This one has to be the ultimate. Done like all of their stuff, with tongue firmly in cheek:


Zodiac Mindwarp ? Backseat Education

Seeing Edwyn Collins and the previous movie related posts prompted me to try to find the ?A Girl Like You? sequence from Empire Records.


All my search brought up was some stuff about ?Masons, Satanism and the Illuminati? (first I thought it may be an iron maiden track) did you know that the queen mum was really a lizard who ate people? Fascinating!

Listening to the new Stars album that I didn't even know was coming out.

So far a bit dissappointed, not the catalogue of purest power pop that was Set Yourself on Fire, here's hoping it's a grower.


But we'll celebrate the event with some old

You're ex-lover is dead

and some new

Take me to the Riot

There's some great riffing going on here. Well I love it anyway. The Faces with Keith Richards doing Chuck Berry's Sweet Little Rock N' Roller at the Kilburn State Theatre at Xmas in '74 with Rod in ridiculous satin pyjamas. Turn it up LOUD!

    • 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.
