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).

    • Wanted 2 x Adult and 1 x Children tickets for Dulwich fireworks tonight please!
    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.      
    • I use Autocar Repair in West Dulwich.. been using them for over 20 years. Excellent service… 
    • A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
