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

    • Mine still seem well populated. I assume the display filter is still acting as you'd expect with the other folders.  I trust and hope it'll be a recoverable glitch, even if they did manage to delete or mislay the online copies.     I had prepared a para. beginning "That's essentially reassuring, Vladii.  Thanks." before managing to somehow remove the rest of it irrecoverably from the EDF message edit pane. Back on the Greenby side, I've narrowed down my own problem.  Most of my email posts are 'From:' my own domain but posted via the PN relay.   Maybe a couple of years ago an alarming failure of these to reach gmail addreses, without any non-delivery message, emerged.  It seemed to be due to the absence of an SPF entry on its DNS record.  Once that had been added all was ok again.   The SPF entry is still there, but the symptoms have reapppeared.  I've narrowed it down to email From that domain posted via both Greenby and Plusnet webmail.  The same messages sent from the same domain via a mail client, via SMTP to the PN relay, seem all to get through ok. So does one sent by webmail using my official PN mailbox domain [me]@[myPNUsername].plus.com. I submitted a carefully written problem-ticket request last night, and find it got an immediate very detailed response from their bot, saying "Thank you for the detailed explanation - this is really helpful information...This is an interesting deliverability issue..."  It then went on to enumerate and explain several possible factors which could have been involved, and asked me to submit a fresh ticket with details of a missing email's sender, time, and intended recipient, so that they could check their logs and diagnose further.   I was actually impressed, for the first time, by the response's quality.  I guess bots must benefit from high quality input from users. 😉 
    • The sand is back and I’m sure it’s going to close again! The pool is getting murky
    • Hi all I’m helping a friend prepare a surprise birthday party. Would anyone have any used or unused ‘happy birthday’ banners or bunting that they don’t need anymore. Also any other birthday decorations like balloons 🎈 or props would be really useful. Thank you 🙂 Claire - 07946 728879
