I think Sean Mac got it right, let's localise.


Sham 69 for The Castle.

Modern Romance for Adventure.

The Blood Red Shoes covering Elvis Costello's (The Angels Wanna Wear) My Red Shoes for Davina.

The Beastie Boys for William Rose.

Basia for The Bishop, and with her old band Matt Bianco at Adventure for the nights when Modern Romance need a break.

The Angelic Upstarts (complete with pig's head) for Saturday lunchtime at The Upland.

The Pogues for The Thomas More Hall.

Jess Conrad for Fabric.

The Sex Pistols Unplugged for Sunday lunchtime at The Plough.

Crime And The City Solution for Sainsnury's car park.

The Police for the reception of East Dulwich Police Station, with The Inmates in the cells and The Jesus And Mary Chain for the stables.

The Fields Of The Nephilim for The Gourmet Burger Kitchen.

Sean...who on earth said there was anything wrong with any of those descriptions.....seriously, I think they're not a bad indicator of East Dulwich.....you are a tad paranoia about any percieved criticism on the lovely SE22 on occasions. I choose to live here with my family for many if not most of the reasons I compared ED to Coldplay....I agree, I can't stand Coldplay though

CPT - Metallica, still going, but no longer with the greatest line up.


Bishop - , The Kooks, Coldplay, Razorlight, hugely popular with trendy beautiful people, but frankly grotesque!


Actually no, The Bishop - Stoned Roses / The Pixies - Everyone says how great it is, and it's cool to like it, but really it's shite and no one knows why they like it, but their friends want to go, so they go and poretend to be having a good time, whilst all along their friends are doing exactly the same! Heh heh heh

Quids


yes yes yes - I've already held my hands up and said I was defensive... sorry again!


Although in my defence (m'lud) it's not about SE22 I get defensive - it's....... ohh... never mind Gab - no one cares


Loving Modern Romance for Adventure Bar and the Pogues for Thomas More. And I liked Keef's first attempt at the Bishop. And the Stone Roses = definitely overrated. But the Pixies??.. I came close to a flounce!

Keef - You've dissed the Pixies! Frank Black is a punk God. Surely you didn't mean THE Pixies. Is there another band called the Pixies that you've confused yourself with? Maybe a group of boys from Brighton that call themselves ?indie? and play barely disguised Beatles rip-offs? Not THE actual Pixies surely. I'm going for a lie down until the trauma wears off.

Thought that may stir a reaction. Sorry, but both THE Pixies and the Stoned Roses are groups that have had songs I like, but that overall I just don't get why they a revered quite so much. Maybe I was just 5 years too young to really "get it" at the time, but I'm not sure it would've made a difference.

Like the Coldplay analogy - agree that slagging off THE Pixies is tantamount to something really dreadful.


ED - I think Muse - started off small and rather provincial even and now shouts from the highest hills, (as I write I hear them as a ringtone downstairs................)

The Pixies influenced a lot of bands and they had a new sound that wasn't derivative. I?ve just had a listen to Nimrod?s Son and the Pixies are as EXCITING as ever.


Indie music is just CLONE music right now ? so dull. I?m getting the feeling the plethora of new indie bands just want to be famous (the disease of the noughties). It?s easy to forget that the Pixies weren?t clones. That?s what time does.


BTW Keef - I have CDs of all four Pixie gigs at Brixton a few years back (2005?) and they get major play on my i-Pod; you?re welcome to have a loan if you think they might swing your vote.

Actually Stereophonics springs to (my) mind. Maybe because a lot of these - new - mums and dads actually listen to that stuff.

add travis to that list.

Somerfield with The Dead Kennedies playing the fruit and veg section, alternating songs with Slipknot back in the dairy.**

Liquorish hosting The Insane Clown Posse.

Medicine Head at the Dulwich Medical Centre.

Girls Aloud at JAGS.

Rage Against The Machine in front of the hand dryer in the gents of The Palmerston.

The Soup Dragons at Soup Dragon.

John Cooper-Clarke, for a modest fee whispering poems in your ear in The Crystal Palace Tavern. And for no extra charge telling you a good joke.

Atomic Kitten at Iceland, but if the various members are too busy advertising Iceland, appearing on cookery programmes and who knows what else, then get Coldplay in. Unless they're too yellow.

Barry Blue serenading Barry from the Barry Off-Licence on Barry Road. And if a few Barrys were around to sing Hosannas then so much the better. Let's see what we can do.

Fugazi down The Clockhouse.

Chi-Chi And Ra-Ra having a Scissor Sisters evening. They might have to perch, but hey, they're troopers.

Tom Waits in the doorway of Dulwich library.

The Blue Oyster Cult at St John's Church.

After they'd finished at JAGS and Chi-Chi Rah-Rah, Girls Aloud and The Scissor Sisters performing on the bar of The Capitol at Forest Hill. With an after show at The Hobgoblin.

The Doctors Of Madness reforming for a benefit at the MIND shop.


** With Twisted Sister on the roof.

If Norfolk was a band, would it be The Partridge family?

    • 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
    • We can't use our kitchen for a while and so looking for an air fryer to plug the gap. Please let me know if you have a good one in working order.  07702 305 310 Thanks
