It doesn't matter what age you are, you can still discover and enjoy music from any period. Age isn't a barrier, it's all part of the joy of discovering the good stuff, just dive in and have a listen. For instance I've got old blues records that go as far back to the 30s.


Sean, I'll be keen to join in with you on a singalong of Cave's The Weeping Song.


Anyway, what a great song this is from a girl of my generation.


Kate Bush - Cloudbursting

Little known nugget of pop trivia:


"Hit Me Baby..." was originally written for TLC but reports vary as to whether they either a) turned it down, or b) the production on their album FanMail was already finished and so it couldn't go on.


One wonders if Ms Spears would have quite the success she was without that track and especially that video.

I love cross thread posts






I've no idea what you're getting at DC, it's all down to the talent ... just like T.A.T.U.

Success had nothing to do with the video of two cute russians dressed as school girls frolicking in the rain...nothing I tell you!!

My word indeed - the last time I checked that video I took a note never to watch it again! But it is still worth a chuckle now. I have the CD single somewhere with some older Belew tunes on there


Funny old song as well - it doesn't work but there are some good ingredients in there - bless it, it was always a cue for much of the crowd to get a drink on the S&V tour where it was played every night (incidentally, a beautifully conceived visual tour but a poor band and by the time it finished it was approx half the length of it's initial dates)


Belew's ponytail at the time must NEVER be forgiven mind you


(PS Jah - I picked up a recent Uncut magazine where the free CD was a compliation of tracks for Faces fans... not Faces songs but other bands with a similar spirit - I made a note to keep it handy for you... must dig it out)

Ah! Sean. A ponytail on any man is unforgiveable indeed. It makes want to get a pair of scissors and snip the unsightly thing off.


PS: I got the mag and the Faces article was pretty good but the CD was seriously lacking. Only one or two things on there that I thought were any good but then of course you can't beat the real thing can you.

Got the Tinariwen album, and it does indeed sound like music of people who spend a long time journeying slowly in a minimalist environment. Good, tho'.


If you like yours kinda mind-melting and jazzy in a late-60s psychedelic way, try this


The studio album NOW by Stark Reality won't leave your mind easily.

My other half hates it. But then again, she doesn't like challenging music.

Worked it out now - first sight mentions: This video has been removed due to terms of use violation. However, picked it up from the other link.


I'm afraid MP you have lost your spot as the most empathetic, intuitive member of the EDF - not my cup of tea at all! But thanks for thinking of me and broadening my experience. As my old, dotty English teacher used to say, you have to taste a lot of oranges to know what a good one tastes like. (I went to a weird school).

    • Another recommendation for Dulwich Test and Services Centre. Only been using them for a couple of years but wish I’d found them earlier 
    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.
