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.

    • The problem with the first Southwark leadership election is that two proxy votes were cast, which is against Southwark's own party rules. So that is why the election was re-run. The controversy is in switching to an online as opposed to in person second election. James has causes he vehemently stands for, and it's fair enough if he thinks the local Labour Party is no longer for him. Government is not easy, and there are hard decisions to be made always. London councils have always had a better deal when it comes to central funding, and anyone who travels to the North frequently can see the stark difference. It's that failure to see the bigger picture that I find most surprising about his comments. Sure, as a local councillor he should be always arguing for local needs, but reform of central government funding to give more help to poorer regions has been a long held aim by this Labour Party, and especially since Brexit, where poorer regions benefitting from EU grants lost out.  As always, it will be the public that decides at the ballot box. 
    • I'd be interested to know how else you award points when deciding what party to vote for!
    • Why not get a real poodle.  They can be clipped to look like a cockapoo if you like.  They don’t need to be in a show clip.  They don’t shed.    Both breeds would need regular grooming.  I have/had friends with very charming poodles both medium and standard so see if you can make the acquaintance of some.
