Share prices on the SMG index for Muley plummet....


I mean, everyone to their own tastes and all, but anyone who, anytime after the 70s releases an album with the title


"When the pawn hits the conflicts he thinks like a king

What he knows throws the blows when he goes to the fight

And he'll win the whole thing 'fore he enters the ring

There's no body to batter when your mind is your might

So when you go solo, you hold your own hand

And remember that depth is the greatest of heights

And if you know where you stand, then you know where to land

And if you fall it won't matter, cuz you'll know that you're right"


That's the TITLE, not a lyric!


well... not for me.

Fair enough Sean, crap title without a doubt, and when I discovered her on Youtube (only a few weeks ago) I thought she would be an annoying, strident, whiney Yank indie princess. But listen to the album- her ability to write a melody, craft the lyrics and deliver the songs in that voice shows a talent and skill equal to anyone (and light years ahead of most). Can't remember being that excited by an album for years.


Also, does some cracking versions of old jazz standards such as 'You Belong To Me'



I may have plummeted down into the gutter, but I'm looking up at the stars!

Funnily enough I had a bit of a Fiona Apple thing on youtube recently too- and I do quite like some of her cover versions - Elvis's "I want you"


But I never got on with the albums of her own material, But enough.. I don't want to rag on your choice too much - it's not that kind of thread

    • But Thatcher is dead. Nobody since has brought the utilities back under public ownership (if that's the right term). So there are many people who could be blamed. Meanwhile the shareholders get richer and everyone else gets increasing bills and a poorer service. Plus as said above, a massive waste of a limited resource like water. Not to mention the polluted rivers and seas. At least the privatisation of the railways is being reversed. Hopefully water may be on the list somewhere.
    • That's really helpful. Do the Community Councils still exist? It sounds to me that whoever the contact is on the council who has sorted out the North Cross Road notice board and put the new list of councillors in it must at least have access to the key for that one? Unless it was one of the unlocked ones. And of course if somebody knows where the keys are, they may have no idea that people are looking for them or that this forum thread exists. Which are the notice boards which are not locked?  The very helpful locksmith near the station (?Callows?)  might be able to provide keys for them, or if not, new locks, in return for some local publicity? In fact, they may be able to advise in general, rather than keep trying unresponsive people at the council. But then of course there is still the question of who is going to take responsibility for putting appropriate East Dulwich community information into them and updating it as necessary.
    • Our residents' association used to have keys many moons ago, but when locks were changed, we tried everyone (including ward councillors) to get keys to no avail. A couple of boards are not locked. The Community Councils originally paid for all the notice boards in Dulwich. May have come under the Cleaner Greener budget.
    • Blame Margaret Thatcher - she started the privatization of public utilities.
