    RIP to the very talented David Berman.

    He had a lyrical style quite unlike anybody else. Very sombre and poetic, but incredibely funny at times too. Fantastic, baritone sort of a voice too, that really made you pay attention. He just released a new album about a month ago after something like a decade plus hiatus, and it was really good. Just a very unique and talented frontman who unfortunately seems to have succumbed to his demons in the end.



    "In 1984 I was hospitalised for approaching perfection" remains the greatest opening line of any album, ever.


    Fuck. Gutted.

    Bright Flight and American Water are both near perfect records. As you say an incredible lyricist, and by all accounts a brilliant man.

    Have you heard the new Richard Dawson album? I believe it was you who put me onto him with (the excellent) Peasant. I think I might actually like this new one more though.

    Nope, I'll check it out this week. Just seen he's playing near me next week and tickets are gone. Fuck's sake.

    Whilst we're on this sort of music I recently discovered '69 Love Songs', the 1999 marathon from Magnetic Fields. Adore (most of) it.

    I’d never heard of this Dawson guy so I looked it up and listened to Jogging. That’s parody right?

    Yeah it's really great. Their other stuff is worth a listen, especially 100000 fireflies, all the umbrellas in london and smoke and mirrors.

    A mate just sent me a video from a Richard Dawson fella. I knew the name (thought he was a Brexit politician) but never heard a ‘song’ before. I think it’s the worst thing I’ve ever listened to, and I don’t even limit that to music.

    I think that song is a really beautiful portrait of someone suffering from mental illness in 2019. I also really like the way he sings "beta blockers" in his Geordie accent.

    I saw him live the other week and he really is a legend. Probably one of the best people in the England.

    He can’t sing and it’s over what can only be described as noise. Beautiful

    I thought the issue people might have with that song is he's very direct in his lyrics and delivery on it.

    For something less on the nose check out Scientist off his previous album. That one is about when a strange man comes to the village you live in 7th century Northumberland and tries to install a new device he's invented in your temple, but you don't want him to.

    Actually that one is even "noisier", but he definitely does some singing on it.

    Ive got a mega collection of my fathers reggae/ska/soca collection. Easily over 500 vinyls here. I will have to document each one, check if they still play and sell the ones with value.

    If you’re happy to ship abroad (I’ll pay the shipping, of course) I might be interested. Let me know, when you’ve cataloged them, what you’re thinking of selling.

    I have about the same number of my dad's old vinyls in the attic, but I've never had any method of playing them so I've just boxed and bagged them and left them alone. I know one of them is a 'picture vinyl' Bowie album that was worth four hundred quid fifteen years ago so I imagine that's worth something. In general though I think it's just old punk albums.

    I've skimmed through my folk's vinyls and it all just a bit crap. I don't think there's much of a market for Harry Secombe.

    It's going to be a right headache but it has to be done. I'll sort it into google docs and go from there.

    Im guessing most will be worth a few pounds. I know he has some Mewtwo's because he spoke about his Studio One and Peter Tosh collections to me 10 years ago.

    I know this is probably one of those me being ignorant things but a YouTube hole has led me listening to The Animals. Who seem to be from The Beatles/Monkees era where there were only about 4 bands but outside of 'We Gotta Get Out of This Place' my ignorant ass has no knowledge of them.



    Absolute tune.

    Purveyors of legendary beginners' guitar number 'House of the Rising Sun' among other things.

    I like that era, very early Who is among my favourites from it.

    Use Discogs and it’ll categorise them for you and tell you what they’re worth.

    Need your help gents.

    How would I find out the name of a band that played a gig somewhere in England on 31st October 2018. They'd been going for at least 14 years and might not tour much. They also use a piano.

    Suspect you'll need to improve on 'somewhere in England'.

    Songkick should have it listed. I know they do past events on the artist's wall, so you could try googling the site with the date and as much location information you have.

    My next suggestion was Chas and Dave, but Chas had died by then. Liberace long gone as well. Struggling for ideas.

    "Ólafur Arnalds" performed in London on this date and is appaerntly an Icelandic "multi-instrumentalist" who "..mixes strings with piano and loops and beats" and says active from "early 2000s"

    literally any more information and i could probably figure this out

    Also some band called "The Church" performed in London on this date as well but I can't see the video to see if they use piano but it does say their touring band has "keyboard"

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Church_(band)

    They had also been active far longer than 14 years though (first album 1981)

    Oh hold on I think we're onto something nownow

    First Aid Kit played 02 Academy in Brixton...

    Olafur Arnalds played London Palladium...

    The Dresden Dolls played in Troxy, London
    this one is interesting because it does say they're a "piano rock dark cabaret" band that's been around since 2000.

    the Pixies played The Roundhouse in London

    Mac Demarco played in Southampton




    Dream Wife played KOKO in London (with queen Zee and Big Joanie)
    Rainbow Kitten Surprise played Heaven in London (with Callum Beta)

    Shinedown played Manchester Academy
    they're a rockband but they have a piano of some kind per wiki

    Reel Big Fish and Less Than Jake played in London, they're kinda ska they might have some kinda piano stuff

    idk there were apparently a ton of shows in the UK on that date
