I mentioned in a previous posting that there was to be a reggae version of Radiohead’s OK Computer, released by The Easy Star All-Stars. I eventually got it this weekend and what a hoot. They’ve called it Radiodread.
Those familiar with OK Computer will get a real kick out of the Fitter Smarter, Happier, Stephen Hawking track. Only £9.99 too!

I’d forgotten The Cat’s In The Cradle, so I concede — a two-hit wonder!

Muse are quite good. They remind me of “progressive rock”.

You are so showing your age, Dagmar, quoting Harry Chapin! Some of the bloggers won’t know who he is (I do) or what a one hit one wonder he was!

One of my neighbours has flown to Rwanda today to do VSO for two years. Another has relocated to Athens, Greece.

That I just drive off in my car.
But you can travel ten thousand miles and still stay where you are…”

LH — Good Point, the only thing about South London is maybe our high streets aren’t quite as well presented as those in North London…but they are more vibrant…

But who wants to go to East or North London anyway? I’m happy here, twiddling my thumbs, drinking my port, watching my Monte Hellman double-bill (RIDE IN THE WHIRLWIND/THE SHOOTING).

As Henry David Thoreau said, “People are rushing from A to B. But what is there in B that you can’t find in A?”

Joe Damage — Apparently all stations will be getting an upgrade and lick of paint where needed including new entrances and ticket barriers…

The line from Surrey Quays through Denmark Hill to Clapham Junction has been talked about as an extension to the East London Line for some time. Currently this is the only part of the Overground ‘orbital’ with no funding.

As the rest of the line is due for completion in 2010 I wouldn’t hold your breath but at least it looks like it will happen.

There’s a map at

I hope they make the entrance to the staion a bit bigger.
