I like records, cats, cake and Drumstick Squashies.
I also run Disco2000. Walthamstow’s indie night for grown-ups.

Evan Dando at Rough Trade East last night playing a near-perfect cover of Edwyn Collins’ ‘Low Expectations’. Just when you thought that you couldn’t love him more.

Evan Dando at Rough Trade East tonight was lovely; scrappy, vulnerable, heartfelt and buoyant. However, amongst the Townes Van Zandt and Fred Neil covers I did not expect that he would give us a word-perfect rendition of.. this. youtu.be/Grg5tULy0tY?...

Helter Skelter is happening this Saturday at Walthamstow Trades Hall. Two floors of retro indie tunes, excellent aircon & social club beer prices. Also proceeds to local charities. What more do you want for a fiver? (Or £8 if you’re not a member - still a bargain!).

Anyone who needs a laugh as badly as I did this morning will appreciate this thread about Tom Cox’s Dad, who is mad as a mackerel.

Very excited about this. It’s been a long time since I’ve been to a club with a cool little upstairs room and a big downstairs room. It’s just a shame someone else isn’t running it. :-)

One of our local ice cream vans plays the tune to ‘The People’s Flag’ / ‘O Tannenbaum’ - whichever one it is in their minds it’s pretty weird.
Our local ice cream man plays an Ice Cream Van version of In the Summertime by Mungo Jerry at deafening volume.
Is there an agreed standard list for ice cream van music? Ours is Yankee doodle and it feels wrong do you think Ofcom would take the case?
