Northern Soul Legend. I'm afraid you are WAY off target, a novelty act derided by Northern Soul devotees.

I believe Keef and Brendan both like Pearl Jam. I used to like them a lot, but only a couple of their songs have really stood the test of time for me.

OK Chicory Tip not a great name but Son Of My Father was a great song.


Mama said to me, we gotta have your life run right

Off you go to school where you can learn the rules there right

Be just like your dabbling father when it seems tradition

Never go astray and stay an honest, loving son


Son of my father

Moulded, I was folded, I was free from draft

Son of my father

Commanded, I was branded in a plastic vac

Surrounded and confounded by statistic facts


Tried to get me in but I jumped out of my skin in time

I saw through their lies and read the alibi signs

So I left my home, I'm really on my own at last

Left the wrong path and separated from the past


Son of my father

Changing, rearranging into someone new

Son of my father

Collecting and selecting independent views

Knowing and I'm showing how the change is due


Son of my father

Moulded, I was folded, I was free from draft

Son of my father

Commanded, I was branded in a plastic vac ....


I mean if someone of the calibre and credibility of say Ceasefire had written these lyrics we'd be creaming our spandex strides over them.

"Commended I was stranded in a plactic vac".

Who amongst us hasn't been there?


They played at my brother-in-law's social club in Selsdon a while back, they're back back back by popular demend in the Autumn, so I've told the BIL to get me a ticket.

I'll be down the front row with my notebook and pencil.

I'll be filing my review under the name Nick Kan't.

Yeah I did. I was confusing them with Sonic Youth. Who aren?t what you?d call 70s but I think they were formed late 70s early 80s.


Although Jesus and Mary Chain were formed around then too I think.

JB, JB, do we live in a time when 'Good Grief Christina' is forgotten to popular culture?

Has it come to this?

Has it?

I saw the Bobby Gillespie era JAMC support Sonic Youth at Hammersmith Palais, must have been 1986 though, ish?


Band name though I always like Chaotic Dischord. More for the record names though to be fair - Very Fuc#ing Bad / Goat Fuc#ing Virgin Killerz From Hell, a great double album.

    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
