Chop’s Journal - 26 Jul 2020

This was an eventful week though, as I mentioned last week, I’m catching up on posts and things are beginning to fade from my memory a little. 


After lord knows how many weeks of me doing the weekly shopping I’ve got into the groove and am generally less stressed by the whole experience. It was a little unexpected then that this would be the week I got into a massive argument with someone in Tesco. I was queuing at the checkouts & things are less regimented than they were a few weeks back but I had an eye on where I expected to go. 


A new cashier jumped on and called me forward to a different till. I spotted this old fella with a basket & tried to point him out but we’re all quite far apart and it’s difficult to make myself heard. She was quite jolly & beckoning me forward, old fella not paying attention either, so I go with it & begin to unload. I have three shops as I’m getting bits for the old folk across from us. Get first on when till manager waves to my cashier to try & get old fella in. That’s fine. I step back and let them through but old fella is being grumbly. 


Then the cashier realises her till is broken & she needs to switch. She explains this & moves over, taking my first shop with her. Old fella is still unloading his basket on what is now the wrong till. She calls him over & it’s this point things get heated. He gets cross & moans at her. Tesco supervisor comes back to assist. Doesn’t help. He gets moaned at too. My first shop is now in the way, 3 Tesco staff are trying to assist & old fella is just being horrible to them so I step in and explain they’re just trying to help him out but that makes him angrier. 


He starts having a go at me for pushing in. I kind of did but not deliberately and I explain that. He just carries on having a go at everyone. I have a go back. The 3rd Tesco cashier suggests moving me to another till and again helps me move my stuff. We leave grumpy fella to his thing and get set up ready to get my stuff paid for. She says thank you for trying to stand up for them. Of course grumpy fella didn’t have much to get through and walks past my new position. He has another go at me at which point I finish loading my shopping on the till before walking up to him & really letting rip. 


This is a few days before masks become mandatory in shops. I’m wearing one. He isn’t. I point this out. I don’t believe in masks he counters. Of course you fucking don’t. Security guard arrives unaware of what has gone on but it’s over and he ends up just walking out with the grumpy git. It’s not a nice feeling to lose your temper in public & I regret it but I hate seeing people who don’t appreciate what folks like shop workers have to do, especially over the last few months. 


Later on that week there was a fire at one of our neighbours. She’s been renovating for years and only moved in recently. We don’t yet know her very well & she was out at work when it happened. Builder had stripped the paint off the front sash window and left for the day. Seems an ember or two had slipped inside the sash housing and caught light. 


My immediate neighbour had clocked this, he’s a decorator by trade and explained afterwards he’s always worried about the risk of stripping back like that. Maybe because he was concerned meant he was on look out but he smelled the smoke first & saw what was going on. As he rang the fire brigade we ran our garden hose round and I started trying to damp down the smoke. Got another hose on it from the other side too but by now it’s billowing smoke. 


Fire brigade turns up within 5 minutes & we bail out the way. They put some proper hoses on it but it still takes half and hour to get it done. They have to rip off part of the housing & smash a window to get in the house. All things considered not that much damage and another neighbour brings them a cuppa when it’s done. 





New SOTW


Dee Dee Ramone - Helen Love


https://open.spotify.com/track/05BN0nqt0hwAz0ysMg5T6p?si=WWSkirSyRmGYVOffrr8FLA 


Music I’m enjoying


The new album from Samantha Crain is a stunner. Possibly her career best. I’ve failed to catch her live yet but did watch a little streamed show she did for Music’s Not Dead to support this release and very much hope to see her for real when we get the chance. 


I’m also enjoying the debut Silverbacks album. I saw them play a free show at The Old Blue Last in January and they were the best band on the bill. 





Chop’s A2Z - Week 4: D


‪Week 4 of #chopsA2Z please suggest a favourite album by a band or artist beginning with D and explain why you think I should listen to it. 


Albums I’d not heard before


1: Tanya Donnelly “Beauty Sleep” @perlalaloca - Absolutely loved this. I’ve got two more listens to go but really looking forward to them. Highlights were The Storm & So Much Song. 


2: Devo “Duty Now For The Future” @citizen_jc - This wasn’t the instant hit I’d expected. They definitely sound like a band I should like but maybe need my full attention and this week I’ve been multi tasking a lot. 


3: Destroyer “Kaputt” @tristanjt - Some interesting songs on here. Another album I think needs further listening for me to really get. I’m not a huge fan of Dan’s voice but maybe that’s just down to expectation again. 


4: Dusty Trails “Dusty Trails” @sulaviedilejo - Sumptuous cinematic vibe that I really enjoyed. Reminded me a little of the Air debut album but also very soundtracky. Some nice brass additions & loads of very cool bass lines. 


Albums I already own


🔹Death in Vegas “The Contino Sessions” @mjgelder

🔹Dark Star “Twenty Twenty Sound” @eveshambaggy

🔹Detroit Cobras “Mink, Rat or Rabbit” @girlshirl1 

🔹Dead Kennedy’s “Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables” @davidrogmoor @pablooplywiss 


Of the albums I own already the Detroit Cobras is my absolute favourite. Full of stomping soul driven garage rock. The DKs a close 2nd with a ferocious album that I still love. DiV & DS felt like they’d aged less well but nice to hear both again. 


Overspill list


🔺Disco Inferno “The 5 EPs” @williemcalpine 

🔺Dory Previn “Dory Previn” @paul_hilton 

🔺Doris Duke “I’m A Loser” @wcboggs 

🔺Dion “Born To Be With You” @sineadmcq

🔺 Department of Eagles “In Ear Park” @citizenmeh 

🔺DJ Shadow “Endtroducing” @disco_juan & @factoryjimbo 

🔺Dumb “Club Nites” @SandyWishart


I was actually looking for a way to cut down the albums I listen to but there were too many intriguing suggestions this week for me to ignore. 


Glad I gave this bunch a listen too. Actually pretty much enjoyed every one but Doris Duke, DJ Shadow, Dumb & Department of Eagles were my favourites.

Chop’s Journal - 19 Jul 2020

I’m seriously running behind with these posts so actually writing this in early August & struggling to remember what, if anything, happened this week.


I did contribute to The London Ukulele Project’s charity single in a very small way. I recorded a very short piece of audio & video to help them create a chorus of over 100 ukes at the end of their version of “With A Little Help From My Friends”. You can see me in the video too.

Dinosaurs On The Mountain - The Flaming Lips  


https://open.spotify.com/track/1oabTBniwctZ7yq1TzoFb0?si=HRFJAM7AQCqqIBlvJHtsJw


Music I’m enjoying


The Beths’ second album has been dominating my album listening this week. It’s an absolute joy and put a smile on my face every time I played it. 





Occasional Top Fives


Maybe this will be a fortnightly thing in between the A2Z lists. Not sure but I’ll see how it goes. This topic proved to be a good one with loads of different songs making a corking playlist which I’ve linked to below. This one wasn’t my idea so big thanks to @sharkastic for the suggestion. 


▪️ Top 5 Songs that mention other artists 

  1. Why Do They Never Play Les Savy Fav On The Radio?
  2. Daft Punk Is Playing At My House - LCD Soundsystem or Losing My Edge
  3. I Wanna Be Your Joey Ramone - Sleater-Kinney 
  4. They Say I’m Different - Betty Davis
  5. History Lesson Part 2 - The Minutemen

Chop’s Journal - 10 Jul 2020

My eldest returned to Gloucester this week to recommence rowing training now that’s possible again. It’s been lovely having him home, despite the difficulties of us all being at home during lockdown, and this time it was harder to see him go than previous departures.


Whilst he was back he helped both me & Mrs T5 buy new bikes and was a really positive influence on my youngest. They did exercise together regularly and got on as well as they have ever done. 


These are difficult times but there are little silver linings here and there that give me strength and spending more time with my boys than I would have done has definitely been a big positive. 





New SOTW


Lockdown - John Coghlan’s Quo


https://open.spotify.com/track/4LInS6uIHRFdb1BQlHmZ3R?si=arCbK198TH6acRnimcZjHw


Music I’m enjoying


A mixture of albums by artists beginning with C and new releases. The standout album that coincidentally meets both criteria is Grande est la maison by Cabane which is an achingly beautiful record by Thomas Jean Henri which features vocals from Will Oldham and Kate Stables. 





Book Reading 


The Ocean At The End Of The Lane - Neil Gaiman: Gosh, I really loved this book. It’s fairly short but possibly the best Gaiman novel I’ve read. It’s one of those books that left me feeling a little bereft at finishing it. There’s elements of fantasy horror but ostensibly this is a tale about childhood, how we see things as children & how we remember them as adults. It really got me thinking about my own childhood memories & brought back some happy recollections. 





Chop’s A2Z - Week 3: C


Albums I’d not heard before


‪1. Cinerama “Va Va Voom” @elhozzo3 @ApostateHymnals - I’m sure I must have listened to this before but this time it really hit the mark for me. I absolutely love it & if gigs ever happen again I’m gonna make sure I see Gedge do a Cinerama set soon.


‪2. The Clean “Anthology” @drums_wires - Every bit as good as people suggested & a clear influence on many of my favourite contemporary bands. I only listened to disc 1 as there’s a lot here but will come back to disc 2 at some point.


‪3. The Colorblind James Experience “The Colorblind James Experience” @StillHonest - I know Move To Memphis very well but I’m not sure I’ve listened to the whole album which was a mistake as I liked it a lot. Great lyrics, quirky tunes. Spot on.


4. The Congos “Heart of the Congos” @thehatandbeard - Another album I’ve played before but don’t know very well. It’s a smashingly positive & uplifting record. Definitely put a smile on my face. Completes a clean sweep of hits this week.





Albums I already own


‪1. Calexico “Feast of Wire” @vicaviber - The bands 4th album and the last one before I lost contact with their releases. Conversely I think this is the point they really took off success wise. I know it less well than their earlier stuff so great to revisit it.


‪2. Cornershop “Handcream For A Generation” @LokesSimon - This was, I think, the bands first album following “When I Was Born ...” which was such a huge record for me I was bound to be a little disappointed with what came next. It’s actually a brilliant collection of songs and one I should have listened to more often. Lessons Learned from Rocky I to Rocky III my absolutely favourite but there are plenty of absolute belters on here. Cornershop are a really great band.


3. Crack Cloud “Crack Cloud” @herealexhere - One of my favourite current bands & absolutely astonishing live if you ever get the chance. This is a compilation of 2 previously released EPs but counts as their debut album as I think it was their first global release.


‪4. Cowtown “Paranormal Romance” @gigticket  - Absolutely joyful punky pop that is hard to resist. I’ve loved this album for ages but not yet managed to catch the band live #chopsA2Z ‬




Perfect Sounds Whatever pick


Cate Le Bon “Crab Day” @perfectsoundpod - I’ve not kept up with CLB as much as I should have done. I bought previous album Mug Museum (suggested by @emdehaney) & loved that so really should have got this one too it’s fab & the story behind the album title is ace.

Chop’s Journal - 5 Jul 2020

This was my Birthday week and it went pretty well. I had the day off work, went for a run (5.2 k), watched a film (Bait featuring Georgia Ellery from Black Country, New Road) and ran a Top 5 of other people who are 52. 


Then we drove to Shoreham to buy a 2nd hand bike (a gravel bike to replace my old & decrepit mountain bike) getting home in time to watch Fulham beat QPR 2-1 (rare chance to see my team play on my birthday) and eat a takeaway curry from the wonderful School of Spice. 





New SOTW


Up The Nurses - Silverbacks


https://open.spotify.com/track/6oiclgORkkYvWcfMYgk87W?si=9SbpcajBQgaBYtFRypY-KA


Music I’m enjoying


A mixed bag this week as the B & C artists from the A2Z thing start to take over. There was new music but I only managed a single listen of most of those. 





Birthday Top 5


▪️ People Born in 1968

  1. Matt Le Tissier
  2. Gillian Anderson
  3. Thom Yorke 
  4. Barry Sanders
  5. Hugh Jackman 




Chop’s A2Z - Week 2: B 


Albums I’ve not heard:

  1. Chris Bell “I Am Cosmos” @caroline_binnie - This one will need further listens to totally win me over. I don’t think it sings to me in quite the same way as Big Star but I can see Chris’ influence on his former band. It’s a lovely blend of gentle folksy tunes and all out rockers. You & Your Sister is the tune that really stands out for me. Goosebumps when the harmony kicks in.
  2. Broadcast “The Noise Made By People” @cjl__73 - I really love this. It’s got a soundtrack vibe about the instrumentation and Trish Keenan’s vocals are wonderful. Dashes of John Barry mixed with elements of Stereolab.
  3. Broncho “Double Vanity” @kazashton - Scuzzy guitar driven rock with echoey vocals that at times, oddly, reminded me of Angel Olsen. I Know You & New Karma my fave tunes. Oh, 2016 release too for @perfectsoundpod fans.
  4. The Bubble Project “The Technicolour Dream Machine” @millie_ran - This might be my favourite of the 4. Very little info about them online but @SLUG_MrIBlack was involved. It’s an explosion of colourful noise with a great ear for melody & very much up my street.



Albums I own:

  1. British Sea Power “The Decline of British Sea Power” @pahudson - This is a pretty significant album for me. One I know & love every track on. Great to play it again, this is exactly the sort of album I don’t listen to often enough. 
  2. Built To Spill “Keep It Like A Secret” @elhozzo3 - Love this one too though I know it less well. I saw BTS on this tour supporting The Flaming Lips and bought the album that night. It’s been ages & lovely to hear it again. 
  3. Big Joanie “Sistahs” @_sandywishart - This is such a great record. I found them late in the year but I think it would now be in my 2018 top five. They all also do so much good work to encourage young girls & black musicians to make music. ‬
  4. Bilge Pump “We Love You” @mightybilgepump - First entry to be nominated by the actual band. This was the album that introduced me to Leeds legends Bilge Pump and it’s an absolute corker. Worth catching live if we ever allowed to do gigs again. 



Perfect Sounds Whatever:


Will Butler “Friday Night” @psp - A live album recorded after Butler got drunk at a winery & promised the owner he’d record a record just for him. Opens with the band playing a song they’d never performed before as an encore. Ramshackle but fun.
