Sky Larkin - The Golden Spike.


Quirky lyrics*, jangly guitar pop with shades of Belly, Sugarcubes and a bit of Echobelly.

If that sounds good I highly recommend.

Iron & Wine is great



at this very moment listening to "The Old Kit Bag " album by Richard Thompson

Uh, sorry, but modern Snow Patrol is really good -at least to these codgerish ears. Ok, naive, but gets at a certain unvarnished truth emotional truth. Is it hopelessly naff to like Kings of Leon? That guy's voice is deeply special - and vibes on that rarest of things - honestly expressed male passion and vulnerability.

Paper Planes by MIA is this wonky/skanky celebration of sudden-death sink estate culture.Scary but compelling and ridiculously catchy. Weirdly featured in Slumdog.

Anyone know Schnauss? Modern German bloke who's electronica is a kind of blissed out exploration of mood and theme.


Ok, end of wank-a-thon.


Pip pip!

    • And so an update, a message saying I had a telephone appt which they then changed to a double to deal with two issues at once. From originally booking to the appt has been four weeks, so disappointed, but appt booked in. 
    • Yes, it wasn't exactly Lewes, he lived in a tiny place near Ditchling Beacon while he was running Hoopers  (maybe  he moved to Lewes after Hoopers closed?) Near enough Lewes, though! I can't remember what the place was called, or even if it had a name, there were only a few houses. Which was very weird, because I lived in Ditchling for a time many many moons ago, and I drove up the  tiny road which passed near  those houses every day on my way to work in  Stanmer Park (at that time the local college horticulture department was based there). It was a short cut to the park, and there was a locked gate halfway down the road, which I had a key to. No idea if things have changed now, it was a very long time ago. Very small world indeed. We only found out because  at Jamie's request we put on music in Hoopers for a time (including Wizz Jones), so we got to know him. ETA: Very sorry Lulark (and Admin), this has no relevance at all to your post.
    • Still remember the time shortly after I moved to Lewes and bumped into Jamie Hooper - turns out he had been living in Lewes the whole time he ran the pub in London    
    • Found the thread:  Since that time The Gowlett closed and then reopened with a refurbishment and I believe under new owners.
