What is East Dulwich Listening to?

[Narnia]

It could be called 'Talking of the End' maybe?

So clearly some Newsom fans akimbo on this here forum.

I know there are quite a few smog/callahan fans on here too. In fact i reckon if were to venn it up there would be an awful lot of crosshatch going on.

So, for me it's bizarre that reviewers of the former's new release don't talk about the obvious, that it's primarily (though not remotely exclusively (frightened rabbit's penultimate it ain't)) a break-up album, and from what I can work out she just loved him and he buggered off "On a good day you can feel my love for you/ will you leave me be so that we can stay true/ to the path that you have chosen".

But listening to his last, there's huge regret, though we never get anything like her catharsis. But much regret and loss "last night i swear I felt your touch, gentle and warm, the hair stood on my arm, power, power, show me the way x3 to shake off memory...all these fine memories are fucking me down...love is the king of the beast/ a lion walking down city streets"

Is it just another example of the blame game?

If so, it's kind of beautifully dignified and poetic from both.

Have you got the new album yet then ?

[mockney piers]

I did wonder if anyone would have the faintes idea what I was blithering on about (I do blither alot apparently).

It would seem not.

Yep. It's good and growing with each listen as the songs actually take form in my head. On the first few listens it's a bit like being stoned, sometimes your retinas pulse whilst your wabsnasm grasps at something, an ethereal sensation, a concrete idea; at other times a melody a riff wanders by, giving you somethig to hold on to albeit briefly.

Then the whole slowly but surely comes into focus but again it's an hour later and you realise it finished without you quite paying attention.

I'm playin it alot, but usually need some broken social scene or flowered up as the musical equivalent of an iron lung as I go through newsom decompression.

Or something

[flapjackdavey]

sounds interesting .whats a wabsnasm ? :))

And I am listening to FlapJackDavey's choice of music - OK so far apart from one weird track five minutes ago when I was forced to go to the kitchen to get more alcohol.

Jon Boden at the moment in his Remnant Kings incarnation.

of course! i hadn't put 2 and 2 together- perhaps because there was quite a gap betwen both albums being released. I wonder when they actually broke up?

i love sometimes i wish....but still haven't devoted the necessary time to Have One on Me. I know i'll love it, and already do as a collection of songs, but haven't had the two hours quiet time to do it one go.

I feel the opposite about P.N. He's grating on me. I used to like him a lot, but his voice has become so affected i can't understand a word he's singing, it's even worse live. Just sounds completely put on.

[Sue]

A load of not very good demo albums :-S

Well not so much albums, more a load of not very good two or three tracks. Sorry guys.

And some very good ones but not so many.

Iv'e not heard LCD Soundsystem .... I may like it , who's knows ? :))

[mockney piers]

Two new ones

Goldfrapp's Head First.

The first thing you notice is opener Rocket is Van Halen's Jump.

Then the rest bubbles nicely along in a highly polished and slick fashion.

It's actually easy listening in the guise of electronica.

I can't get rid of a sneaking suspicion that if in this day and age there is a flat full of neurotic, self/sex-obsessed lawyers in north london somewhere, that this would be the only CD they owned!

Laura Marling I Speak Because I Can.

Very, well....nice. She's casting her net wider and absorbing folk and americana influences, but then who isn't these days. It's a pleasant listen, but ultimately comes across as The Sundays with banjos and I was hoping for something with a little more bite; maybe a bit more Scout Niblett and a little less girl guide (baddam tish .. *gets coat*) :-$

Goldfrapp (td)

[mockney piers]

Alison Goldfrapp = (tu)

I believe the colloquial term is cripes.

I have been listening to almost nothing expect my band's new demo, trying to get the mixes up to scratch.

To the extent that I probably now lack any sort of frame of reference whatsoever.

[kpc]

This evening, Peggy Sue - Fossils and Other Phantoms. A delight.
