Dopamine1979 - this one is so very literal - it was 'What's The Matter With Kids Today?'from the OST of Bye Bye Birdie segueing into 'Police Car' by Larry Wallis.

You are truly gifted, friend.

Use it wisely.

El Pibe, thanks for the welcome.


Strong and clear I'm getting The Smiths 'William It Was Really Nothing', only you will (!) know what William's involvement may have been.

Uncanny. This is simply amazing! Good work sir.


May I be as bold to suggest you had 'Shoot from the Hip' by Lloyd Cole & the Commotions on your brainpod when you started this fine thread? Which, come to think of it, is not unlike a rather sophisticated version of the song game thread. I would insert a smiley emoticon here if it wasn't for the fact I know you dislike them so.

Actually Numbers it's what I like to call a sopsychicated* version of the song game, and while I'm not fond of using emoticons myself, I am reasonably tolerant of others indulging. At least today.


* Note to any Dragons - dig the neologism - see what you're getting here.

Thanks for the welcome back Otta.


I'm getting Genesis, The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway. Well done.

GingerB think, ponder, you have heard it, you just don't know you did at the time perhaps because your IBrain was skipping.


KENNY - THE BUMP


That should do it.


There.

Well done GingerB, the first one always is.


I'm decidely getting 'Been Caught Stealing' by Jane's Addiction - well I would, wouldn't I.

Real-time retro, incidental, backcloth revelations (at a price) will perk up any Dragon but a dream-score is surely where the fat money is.


I have this recurring nightmare - NorthX rd market and amid the splashing of dairy fats I am being chased by a giant Moog... (this is a gimme for which I hope to earn points on my loyalty card)



Oh, and if you have anything for the usual home haunting that doesn't involve R. Dean Taylor I'd be grateful.

    • A Google search brought up eleven Chango  branches, although they don't all seem to be listed on their website. In the order they came up: East Dulwich, Clapham Common, Mayfair, Wandsworth, City of London, Wimbledon,  Parsons Green, Kensington, Highgate, Richmond, Hampstead. I think it is the positioning of this new branch that has mostly got to me. I accept that they would have to go for where a space became vacant, but Lordship Lane is pretty long, even just the part with shops in,  and choosing to  open a stone's throw away from Chacarero seems mean, to say the least. I wonder if they have made contact with Chacarero. It would be nice to think they had (in a friendly way, obviously!)
    • I like empanadas. I don't think Chango is a massive chain - it's got a few stores all in London I believe (stand to be corrected if I've got that wrong). I don't see a problem with them opening on the Lane personally. I really like Chacarero, but that doesn't mean that they should be immune from competition - if they're successful and open a couple more stores, are we then meant to stop supporting them for being a 'chain'?  That opening post does sound a lot like marketing spiel though. Is the OP perhaps connected to the new business I wonder?
    • According to what I can see online, Dynamic Vines and Cave de Bruno sell totally different kinds of wine to each other.  Dynamic Vines  "work with independent winemakers who produce outstanding wine using sustainable practices in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar".  Cave de Bruno specialises in French wines and spirits from small independent producers. So two different USPs, and no doubt two different but overlapping customer bases who can afford these wines. Probably different again to the people mainly  shopping for wine at Majestic or the Co op. On the other hand, the two empanada shops appear on the face of it to be selling virtually identical products. But time will tell, won't it? Let's see how they are both doing in - say - a couple of years' time. Impossible, of course, to compare that with how they would have done if there had been only one of them. I just feel more  sorry for the original one than for  the one which can apparently already afford to have a number of shops in places like Mayfair and Highgate. I'm tempted to buy something there every week, and I don't even like that kind of pastry 🤣
    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. These Argentinian cornish pasties are clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has.
