I wouldn't know - being a signed up member of the grumpy old man club I gave up listening to anything new in about 2002ish. Nothing my nephew, mates' kids, trendy dads play has convinced me there's anything new that does it for me but as I said I can't say I've tried very hard. Infact, I've been more inclined to delve back into music from the past that i didn't listen to back then...even some 'Progressive'

The latter (but I mean stuff a bit less obvious than DSOTM)...still not convinced by it either. But I'm getting a disturbing liking for 1970s westcoast folk/rocky stuff...and trying a bit of british 70s heavy metal Deep Purple/Sabbath which I used to hate. Also Neil Young and Bob Dylan who as a 15 year old I dimissed as "Hippy sh1t", I love now, although that's been the case for a fair while (ie 20+ years!).

It?s just age. The type of music they play on the radio and television is (and was) always crap. As we get old we just get less able to scratch the surface and find the decent stuff. I?m sure it is still out there I?m just too busy to seek it out. But every now and again a gem like the Decemberists floats to the surface.


For the most part however I?m perfectly happy listening to early 90s punk and alternative and pretending it?s current.

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls. 
    • There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
