I remember listening to i before e except after c with a couple of friends while we were all kinds of high. That 4 minutes and 43 seconds seemed to last an eternity.

Sonny & The Sunsets' Talent Night At The Ashram is a pretty pretty great album. Also much love for Stealing Sheep's Not Real, Thee Oh Sees' Mutilator Defeated At Last, Shana Cleveland & The Sandcastles' Oh Man Cover The Ground and Panda Bear vs The Grim Reaper.
Kendrick takes it for me though as the most complete…

I noticed you were talking about the Matt Berry album on PCW yesterday and meant to link to this Solid Steel mix he did for Coldcut last year, lots to love here http://www.djfood.org/matt-…

mmmm peaty (my reaction anytime someone lets me try their expensive scotch).

My sister, my niece and her fella are coming over from NYC to stay for a whole five weeks. I haven't seen them for two and a half years and I seriously cannot wait to hold them all in my arms. We're going up for a short break in North Wales to the god forsaken wave battered rocky headland where my Dad asked to have…

a Scotch surely.

Shana Cleveland and The Sandcastles. Fantastic album on the Suicide Squeeze label out of Seattle. She's a member of La Luz who I also think are a pretty great band but this album brings her amazing guitar playing front and center. Really a lovely thing.

I've waited long enough for @Gentileman but these jokes won't wait any longer. It's the Tell Us A Joke Thread!!

The godlike genius of Vini Reilly.

Yeah I'm sure Oliver was up in arms with about that.

I really love that OOIOO album, especially Don Ah, the rare ten minute song that leaves you wanting much more.

Ha, I saw her on The Old Grey Whistle Test doing Chuck E and Young Blood at around the same time and thought she was the hippest thing I'd ever seen! I was only seven at the time but that album is still one of my very, very favourites.

Here to rave about Elle L'Adore which I just watched on DVD. First time director and co-writer Jeanne Herry has crafted one of the most satisfying and darkly comic thrillers here that I've seen in a long time and lead actress Sandrine Kiberlain is so deserving of the César Award that she won for her performance. My…

90's hip hop made me abandon my common or garden joint rolling for the whole Philly Blunts ritual for a while. Jesus what a faff that used to be. Also Clemenza's meatballs in The Godfather always get me running to the kitchen.

Indeedy, I read the Feltrinelli book Senior Service a couple of years back and that was a great read also.

Of course, London's a big place.
It's a very big place,

A man could lose himself
in London.
Lose himself.
Lose himself.
Lo-o-o-o-se himself.
Lose himself in London!

nope.

Great Rick James track (resists the urge to append BITCHES!! to the end of that sentence).

Re-reading Tomasi Di Lampedusa's The Leopard, gets better and better every time.
