Here's what what modest mouse is about and why tiny cities was such a disaster,



you can't take their dissection of society and make it onto skinny love!!!!

and have just double checked The Lonesome Crowded West. I have every tune marked as 5/5. Either I've had some weird nights or I'm a bit wrong,

Just checked them all, cant argue against any mark.

perfect album in my world then........what's your perfect album?


I lie, track 2 was a mere 7

OK, apologies for getting carried away, this started as a list of five albums. The missus is away and I have to do something with my time.


In my eyes these are all pretty much faultless, stone cold classics ? or will be considered so with the passage of time.

Stumbled upon a rerelease of Pauline Murray and the Invisible Girls.


Quite blown away by it.

Perhaps its the lack of familiarity with it, but it has aged incredibly well, it sounds alot fresher than many of its more successful contemporaries.


I wonder why they never eally followed it up

    • Why do you say "that hasn't and won't happen"? - It has not happened and I do not believe it will. Why do you not ask for a key, if you would "love this task"?  I have requested a key but have not had any reply to my email. Who would you suggest I ask? She still works locally. If you don't know her, I can ask her how you can get a key - Please do. Thanks. There is no reason why the noticeboard should only contain councillors' details (although surely it is important that those are publicised locally?) Why do you say it will contain nothing more? Because it does not contain anything more - see noticeboard (has been there quite a few months now!). Do you know why the notice board has been removed from outside ED station? No sadly I don't - poss during pavement works?
