Still playing for me, but never mind, here's the youtube Annual - Brother


I'll throw in a (slightly iffy) live version of sway too, which pitchfork described as all indie's recent soiled clothes washed in a lady black mambazo rinse. No idea what they're talking about but it makes for a good quote.

The assisted dying thread (yeah good mood clearly gone now) reminded me of this song from Ed Hamell, whom SMG took me to see a few weeks ago.

His father killed his mother (who had been suffering some sort of senile dementia) then killed himself. In his note he said that if Jesus wanted to have words with him, he'd scream "why did you do that to my Mary!!".

Powerful but rewarding show (it's actually very funny believe it or not)




 

Random muso thoughts:


Kraftwerk played both Brixton and the Royal Festival Hall in living memory (3-4 years ago I think). In performance they are really dull.


The 2008 Meltdown Festival at the Festival Hall (with Massive Attack as curators) due to announce lineup any day now. Portishead? Madonna guesting maybe? Tricky (what happened to him?). Whatever.


These last few days I've been mostly listening to The Doors - man I would have loved to have seen The Doors play. Except for right now this moment - I'm listening to Iggy.

    • Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?  
    • Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain. 
    • Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
