With Control hitting the cinemas, I thought I'd pop up a little Joy Division

Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart


They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. But these guys are good in their own rights too

Interpol - NYC

Editors - Munich


and finally, couldn't resist

Half Man half Biscuit - Joy Division Oven Gloves

Just picked up a copy of the new Roisin Murphy album, Overpowered. I hope it's really good, loved her last album she did with Matthew Herbert. Not had chance to listen to this yet, tho. So tecnhically I shouldn't be posting this ... Doh, will get back to you soon.
Roisin Murphy: actually the new record is okay - bit housey now and then, but a seventies/eighties icey electroness pervades. I hope she gets a bit more recognition this time. As I was reading yesterday, can it really be almost a decade since "Sing it Back"?

very good, very clever :)


I have heard many good things about the new album and liked the 2 songs I have heard but 10 years on from Moloko or not, I can't hear 5 seconds of The Time Is Now without wanting to damage something. Anything


Could be repetitious use by Sky Sports

Or it could be repetitious use by neighbours until 5am


either way, her voice is associated with Bad Things

Oh god yes, any of those bubblegum eurotrash tunes make me go a bit wild-eyed and throbbing-templed.


This tune was a favourite of one of the chaps in the hifi shop I worked in as a student and used as his classic demo cd, cranking it up anything up to 50-60 times on a saturday.

It makes me want to kill people.


Aeorsmith - Love in an Elevator

Aaargh! Stop it yer bastards. Please please stop. Life's too short to listen to these shitty ear worms that irritate the hell out of us. Let's have something decent please.

I know this has been on loads of adverts but it's still a stonking classic.


Iggy Pop


The Passenger

Definitely not. Hunt and Tony Sales wasn't it? It was just all the guitar wankery and poor songs that did it for me in Tin Machine.

OK, we're ditching the headache music are we?


A bit of post rock* for you then

65 Days of Static - Drove Through ghosts and Retreat Retreat


Is post rock just a young persons label for prog, a bit like emo is pop-goth-lite and nu-rave is err...rave?

very true.

I think the dance music scene was probably worse than anything else for that.

I loved proper rave, everyone together, all loved up, dancing like an idiot, it really about the music as long as it got everyone going.


I think I washed my hands of the whole scene in about '93 when all that horrible terminology came into play and everything fractured into scenes; the hard-sub-proto-house-kids versus the happy-intelligent-beatniks who never darkened the doorsteps of the progressive-break-trip-miami-speed-synth-euro-clashers hating the dark-2-step-goan-psy-techno-trancers.


AAAAAAAAAGH


Anyway, a blast from the past

Family Foundation - Express Yourself

No doubt I've got it all wrong and this isn't rave at all but deep house hardcore :-$

Who cares, let's enjoy it anyway. Happy House? Der....aah! Going to raves, finding it's on some farmland off the M25, house parties, warehouse parties, arms aloft, shirt off, dancing like a lunatic for hours on end, e'd of your tits, "I love you maan," no violence, smiley happy people. Those were the days. God! I'm really sounding like an old git now.

Have some of this maaaan and get into a Higher State of Consciousness.

    • These are the smokeless fuels you can burn on a open fireplace in Southwark: https://smokecontrol.defra.gov.uk/fuels-php/england/ https://www.southwark.gov.uk/planning-environment-and-building-control/environment/air-quality/reduce-air-pollution/reduce-smoke
    • Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm    
    • If you mean the one outside the church going towards Peckham, it still had the closed sign on it this morning, but as there are no road works there, I'm sure some of the drivers will stop there on request.  The stop outside the chippy coming from Peckham is closed as there are road works in front of it.  The 4 way traffic lights are in operation.., causing a lot of congestion.
    • We found a recommendation for Geek Electrics on a here after we wanted to have a electrical inspection of a property we are buying. From the very beginning through to the end Bob was responsive, helpful and demonstrated his knowledge. He has been an absolute pleasure to deal with. We will defiantly be using Bob again and would thoroughly recommend him! His details are... www.geekelectrics.co.uk 07453 407 226 [email protected]
