Share prices on the SMG index for Muley plummet....


I mean, everyone to their own tastes and all, but anyone who, anytime after the 70s releases an album with the title


"When the pawn hits the conflicts he thinks like a king

What he knows throws the blows when he goes to the fight

And he'll win the whole thing 'fore he enters the ring

There's no body to batter when your mind is your might

So when you go solo, you hold your own hand

And remember that depth is the greatest of heights

And if you know where you stand, then you know where to land

And if you fall it won't matter, cuz you'll know that you're right"


That's the TITLE, not a lyric!


well... not for me.

Fair enough Sean, crap title without a doubt, and when I discovered her on Youtube (only a few weeks ago) I thought she would be an annoying, strident, whiney Yank indie princess. But listen to the album- her ability to write a melody, craft the lyrics and deliver the songs in that voice shows a talent and skill equal to anyone (and light years ahead of most). Can't remember being that excited by an album for years.


Also, does some cracking versions of old jazz standards such as 'You Belong To Me'



I may have plummeted down into the gutter, but I'm looking up at the stars!

Funnily enough I had a bit of a Fiona Apple thing on youtube recently too- and I do quite like some of her cover versions - Elvis's "I want you"


But I never got on with the albums of her own material, But enough.. I don't want to rag on your choice too much - it's not that kind of thread

    • I had a peek when a door was opened the other day. I saw a large open basement (no floor at shop level) and stairs to 1st floor. The basement appeared to be across both buildings but it was the quickest of looks so I may be wrong. It may also be that the ground floor over the basement has not yet been put in place. 
    • Yes, that compromise is in not extending the event to two weekends, and keeping it to the one currently.  Yes, I am getting that too, but just go anyway. I intend to.  I will talk to FOPR, and see if there is any interest for a petition from those going to the consultation tm. We just need some volunteers to get together and do the leg work. I've done political party canvassing before, and so can organise a ward by ward schedule. I think it's fair to say that any goodwill some of us had towards working with Gala has gone with this proposed expansion. They are not the same people that started the event with We Are the Fair. At least one of those people actually lived next to the park. The people running things now have no connection to the park or local area and quite frankly are taking the p*** now. Might be worth officially demanding to know where the money the council gets from the festival is actually spent as well. 
    • It's a fantastic little place  
    • Sadly we need young people from developing countries with higher birth rates to do the work that Brits wont do, including many jobs in health and social care.  How you square this with minimum wages to get work visas I don't know.  A different subject for another thread.   Shortage of skilled workers is another topic.  We could return to the fact that young people from Europe no longer come to the UK for a limited time, to do both skilled and unskilled jobs, but that would bring us back to Brexit and the crazy decision we made as a nation. Some nice analysis by Sky News, tend not to use them as a rule but was surprised by the quality of this piece: https://news.sky.com/story/how-many-illegal-migrants-are-in-britain-the-key-numbers-driving-the-immigration-debate-13428405
