Quite by chance discovered The tengooz (the name is a play on words)


Good stuff!


Their blog is here:

You can hear their stuff by clicking the covers:

They seem to have gathered quite a following here in blighty, although I didn't notice any media presence when we were over in Japan for 6 weeks last autumn.


Here is some Kiiiii

They have been known here for some time by the regular 'headz, good stuff!


Just to round off, some Seagull Screaming Kiss Her Kiss Her

Heh, yeah they are pretty mad.


Seeing as that wasn't enough to buzz your bins off, try some Merzbow!




Seem to have forgotten most of the Japanese noise bands I was into about 8 years ago, memory is awful these days, but they did some pretty mental stuff.


To end on a mellower note, something from the wonderful, and much overlooked Flower travellin band:

feeling a bit "emotional" today and this song has been running up and down the stairs of my mind today (unbidden - I haven't had it on or anything....


The Smiths - Ask


It's easy lilt disguising the lyric


"Shyness is nice - and shyness can stop you. From doing all the things you'd like to"


or


"Nature is a language, can't you read?"



oh dear - I'm off again

Oh those Floyd numbers transported me immediately to winter, 1983, wave-lashed seaside town. Me, a mate, a portable cassette-player listening to this at all hours.... wow - very evocative


if only I COULD find Portuguese cover version of it


As someone mention the K&D sessions the other day - my favourite (and probably most familiar one..)


K&D - Useless

Classic stuff.


Well, as I've still miserably failed to get myself to a shop that sells CDs in the flesh (dying breed by the sounds of things) I'm having to make do with 'orrid MP3s for the time being

British Sea Power - Waving Flags

British Sea Power - No Lucifer

British Sea Power - Atom

what happend to the Camden Zavvi again?


I love my big music, but I've sean BSP live 3 times now and I just don't get them at all. I read about them and I hear about them from others, but what I actually hear appears to live in Mundania Road

I saw them about 5 times supporting others and ended up enjoying them more than the headline bands sometimes.

The second album was rather mundane as it goes, but for their live bonkersness and that first album they will always have a place in my heart even if they never live up to the potential.


Think Manics, their last 5/6 albums have been pretty dull, but that doesn't mean they leave your heart for Gen Terrorists and The Holy Bible does it.

Motorcycle Emptiness is my Manics tune of choice


I almost feel bad for saying anything bad about them (BSP) - they are clearly popular and seem like good guys. Last time I saw them they were headlining a festival so we got the full stage foliage and film. And the rest of the day had been a succession of worthy but quiet acts so come show time I was well up for it... but 6 songs in I was "where's the beef" - I couldn't hum a tune of theirs if you payed me


But I hereby promise to listen to those 3 tracks tonight when I get home

why, because I am fair-minded to the point of obsession of course!


Well, that and the fact that the first time they were supporting the Flaming Lips (yay!), second time I gave em a fair go at their own show, and third time I was already at the festival

ooh no - do like the Bonnie Prince. I know it's not music, MP, but have you seen him in an early role in a 1987 film called Matewan? He plays a young radical preacher in a community of coal miners fighting to form a union in the bad old days. Superb stuff - a host of greats are in it too - James Earl Jones, Mary McDonnell, Chris Cooper ...

Oh cheers for that Incitatus. I was lucky enough to see the Small Faces when they reformed in '77 but, of course it wasn't the same without Ronnie Lane. Also, saw Steve Marriot with Humble Pie back in '74 supporting the Who at Charlton. He had an amazing set of pipes. Bloody awful the way he died.


And it's an awful shame that Ronnie Lane isn't with us either so here's another little reminder of the great man.


Ron & Ron - Richmond

    • Hello. Would you like a sofa bed? We have one to give away…photos attached. The scatter cushions are not included.
    • Complaint submitted.  Your helpful link took me straight to the relevant page. 🙏
    • I spend a riddiculous amount of time at the PO.  Every day.  I watch and I watch closely.  Returns take seconds.  The wait might be long but the scan takes a second.  The only thing that slows down a return is people scrolling through their phones looking for QR codes. Business customers like me take seconds.  I might have up to 2 bags of boxes but every one is perfectly packaged and pre-paid.  It just needs a scan.  Seconds. For customers like me and for returns customers they could just put in a self-service check out and we would all be in and out in minutes.  Quicker than M&S.   Or, have a dedicated window for scanning and nothing else.  No facility to handle money at that window so nobody is tempted to ask for a service other than scanning.  That would get the queues down instantly. It is the people picking up things that backs up the queue.  The branch is not equipped to provide the service.  Next time you're in the branch take a look at the shelf space immediately behind the servers.  A few stacking shelves.  That's all the space they have.  Everything else is on the floor in a mess.  I take on board what someone said about the private delivery companies not delivering to Peckham and I didn't know that.   The biggest time wasting service of all is Parcelforce.  If someone in front of me asks for Parcelforce I want to cry.  Long, long, forms need to be filled out by hand, in triplicate.  It is Dickensian.   Please consider taking a few minutes to fill out an online complaint (link below).  I honestly believe that an influx of complaints might make a difference.  I don't want to demoralise the staff or anything sinister but the PO needs to see that the branch is broken. https://www.postoffice.co.uk/contact-us/in-branch-customer-experience    
    • Couldn't agree more with the frustration. I avoid it like the plague but made the mistake of picking up a parcel a couple of months ago and it took them 20 minutes to find it. This was after queuing for an hour. All the pickup parcels were just in a massive heap with no order or organisation so they manually had to search for everything. Bizarre and deeply annoying as if run well it could be a good asset to the Post Office and of course the community. Also, very much agree with the point re not taking it out on counter staff as it must be a terrible and demoralising environment to work in.
