I had to post this as I've had the tune in my head all day especially the lyric:-


"I've been up all night again

party time wasting it's so much fun".


And I haven't heard it in years and I've lost my copy of the album and it's a bloody great song.


Roxy Music - Mother Of Pearl

dans le sac vs scroobius pip offering a free download of "Message from God to Man", good stuff.

"It was You that invented bombs, and the fear that comes with them

And it was You that invented money, and the corrupt economic systems

You invented terms like just-war and terms like friendly fire

And it was You that didn?t know when to stop digging deeper, when to stop building higher

It was You that exhausted the resources I carefully laid out on this earth,

And it was You that even saw these problems coming but accredited them little worth

It was You that used my teachings for your own personal gain

And it was You that committed such tragedies, even though they were in my name"

It's Keith Richards 64th birthday today and seeing as he is a national treasure and a hero of mine I felt the need to put this up. This isn't what you'd normally hear from him, just Keith and an old piano, doing some nice Hoagy Carmichael with cool pictures too.


Happy Birthday Keith.


The Nearness Of You/Sing Me Back Home

I was thinking today about how gerry and sylvia Anderson are so well known for the imagery and marionettes of thunderbirds et all.

There was a ting on about them on bbc4 this evening. Yet again nobody makes mention of how brilliant the soundtracks were.Sure theres some cheese in there but also some very cool experimentation, to really set the scene. A mr Barry Gray.Did it all. Much of this was pre synthesizer and is spine tingling at times.

Without doubt the 60's dr who soundtracks where the best thing ever,such a miss hit with the modern day dr who's.

check Delia in action, the lady who made that theme tune happen back in the day. oh, whatdoyaknow. video unavailable..

Delia Derbyshire. A hero. Ron Grainer wrote it, just the melody. She assembled the whole thing out of tape loops. Early doctor who's soundtrackwise, are works of art. Most bbc radiophonic wworkshop audio was. But, check captain scarlet also for great instremental moments of tension.

Oh and the use of bongoes also. Thunderbirds bongoes are really funny. They really work. Totally ripped off in James bond movies, if you ask me.my 10p.

The beeb broadcast a documentary about the Radiophonic Workshop sometime last year, should be easy enough to rustle up on your p2p app of choice, or failing that http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=OIkgYiSIfQE has some clips, at some point the show showed exactly how they made up the Dr Who theme amongst others.

yes its was quite awesome and will no doubt be repeated. you tube seems to have censored all the clips that were up. I did a wee search. http://www.audiomastermind.us/2005/12/03/alchemists-of-sound-1-hour-video/ The bit i was going to put up here, is where she demonstrates how to make a rythmn with a few tape recorders and tape loops.

Its gobsmacking. She matter of factly just..does it as shes talking. yet its pure skill that only someone who does it daily can be so accurate with.

Alchemists of Sound is the docu to watch.

howdy Shu.

    • Driving down Lordship lane around 2.45pm today saw a v sick looking fox walking in and out of the crowd. 
    • I know I'm a bit premature but don't want to forget through too much Chrisntas cheer! Southwark Council Christmas trees recycling arrangements 2025 - bit worrying for the future that they're emphasising the free bit. "We’ll collect and recycle your real Christmas tree for free!  Trees should not be taller than 5ft. You should chop any taller trees into smaller pieces. Remove all decorations and the pot or stand and recycle it by: putting your tree with your garden waste containers on collection day requesting a free collection if you do not have a garden waste collection  taking it to our Reuse and Recycling Centre [43 Devon Street, SE15 1AL open 08:30-16:30 Mon-Sun] If you live in a flat you must leave the tree: outside on the kerb visible for the collection crew not in a bin store" I'll add the link to the collection booking service when it opens on 22 December. 
    • Most homes in East Dulwich / Good Green ward have collections on Tuesdays or Wednesdays. So no changes for them this year.  But for those few local homes with collections normally on Thursdays or Friday, with Christmas, Boxing day happening on Thursday and Friday any blue, brown or green bin collections will be delayed by two days. So Thursday 25 December collections will be on Saturday 27 December and Friday 26 December collections on Sunday 28 December. For New Years day those Thursday collections will be on the Friday 2 January and those with normal collections of Fridays that will be on Saturday 3 January. To double check when your Southwark Council rubbish, recycling, food waste, garden waste collections will be taking place please please check here - https://services.southwark.gov.uk/bins/lookup
    • Luckily I don't really any regular reason to park at Dawson Heights.  It must be very difficult for the residents I do feel for them.  Thank you for them.  I just presumed that Southwark owned the estate and would be responsible for parking enforcement there.
