It doesn't matter what age you are, you can still discover and enjoy music from any period. Age isn't a barrier, it's all part of the joy of discovering the good stuff, just dive in and have a listen. For instance I've got old blues records that go as far back to the 30s.


Sean, I'll be keen to join in with you on a singalong of Cave's The Weeping Song.


Anyway, what a great song this is from a girl of my generation.


Kate Bush - Cloudbursting

Little known nugget of pop trivia:


"Hit Me Baby..." was originally written for TLC but reports vary as to whether they either a) turned it down, or b) the production on their album FanMail was already finished and so it couldn't go on.


One wonders if Ms Spears would have quite the success she was without that track and especially that video.

I love cross thread posts






I've no idea what you're getting at DC, it's all down to the talent ... just like T.A.T.U.

Success had nothing to do with the video of two cute russians dressed as school girls frolicking in the rain...nothing I tell you!!

My word indeed - the last time I checked that video I took a note never to watch it again! But it is still worth a chuckle now. I have the CD single somewhere with some older Belew tunes on there


Funny old song as well - it doesn't work but there are some good ingredients in there - bless it, it was always a cue for much of the crowd to get a drink on the S&V tour where it was played every night (incidentally, a beautifully conceived visual tour but a poor band and by the time it finished it was approx half the length of it's initial dates)


Belew's ponytail at the time must NEVER be forgiven mind you


(PS Jah - I picked up a recent Uncut magazine where the free CD was a compliation of tracks for Faces fans... not Faces songs but other bands with a similar spirit - I made a note to keep it handy for you... must dig it out)

Ah! Sean. A ponytail on any man is unforgiveable indeed. It makes want to get a pair of scissors and snip the unsightly thing off.


PS: I got the mag and the Faces article was pretty good but the CD was seriously lacking. Only one or two things on there that I thought were any good but then of course you can't beat the real thing can you.

Got the Tinariwen album, and it does indeed sound like music of people who spend a long time journeying slowly in a minimalist environment. Good, tho'.


If you like yours kinda mind-melting and jazzy in a late-60s psychedelic way, try this


The studio album NOW by Stark Reality won't leave your mind easily.

My other half hates it. But then again, she doesn't like challenging music.

Worked it out now - first sight mentions: This video has been removed due to terms of use violation. However, picked it up from the other link.


I'm afraid MP you have lost your spot as the most empathetic, intuitive member of the EDF - not my cup of tea at all! But thanks for thinking of me and broadening my experience. As my old, dotty English teacher used to say, you have to taste a lot of oranges to know what a good one tastes like. (I went to a weird school).

    • I know the couple you mean, and she has always been friendly and smiley when delivering to me, but obviously in a hurry, for all the reasons outlined in the thread. My gate is always open, however (unless someone coming to the house closes it when they leave). I can't see the point of gates that have to be opened and shut again every time someone comes to the house. It just seems a waste of time, and it's annoying if you are carrying stuff. And a closed gate  conveys a sort of "my house is my fortress" feel. To me, anyway.
    • Thanks for posting this. Really interesting. It would be good if you added a star rating, so that it was easier to do comparisons / see what your top recommendations are. Great blog though!
    • Hi, Just a quick note to say it's six months since I launched Eats Dulwich. In that time I've reviewed 28 restaurants. Usually four or five a month except for a month when I came down with gout, which I guess is an occupational hazard. Don't say I don't suffer for my art. Early on someone – Sue, I think – asked me what I'm going to do when I've reviewed every restaurant in East Dulwich. I'm nowhere near that point, but what I have found is that a lot of new openings have tended to be in Rye Lane, so the site has expanded to cover SE15, hence the slight change of name (still haven't had any cease and desist letters from anything with a similar name).  Anyway, the site is still free, it would be great if as many readers as possible here can subscribe so that they automatically get new posts (when you try to subscribe the default might be paid subs but that's down to Substack, just tick the free option instead) as I don't post everything on EDF. Obviously you can get reviews elsewhere if you want, but I think this is the only proper site for local East Dulwich people written by a local East Dulwich person. If you like eating out please have a read. And if there are other places you think I should visit please mention them below and i'll do my best to try them. Link here: https://eatsdulwich.substack.com/  
    • Can you explain what your point was, then? Because it isn't clear to me. No. Perhaps you could provide a link and explain its relevance? That would be helpful     Those figures suggest that over 10,000,000 voters were not "rejecting a far left party."
