In the meantime, it's part of the zip file of Pavement tabs you can get here (click on "All Pavement Tabs!!"), though it doesn't seem to be available separately. It's only an 84k zip file, so it won't take long to download, but if you'd rather not get the whole zip then let me know and I'll send you the individual file.

In fact, information on 60s-70s ska and reggae seems to be pretty sparse in general, sadly. I also can't find mp3s of a couple of dancehall tracks I'm looking for, but I should probably stop being a cheapskate and buy them, except I have no idea where I'd buy them.
I'm having one of my intermittent reggae obsessions, as you can probably tell...

I can't find a resolution for the www contradiction between Lloyd Cole, on the Lloyd site, saying he loves Robert Quine and they're going for NYC Chinese food next week, and Quine, on the Quine site, saying, "Lloyd Cole just wants to make MOR records for the commercial radio" etc.
Most importantly, I can't find 'Ask And He'll Answer' Nicky D answering my question of a while back, namely: why are there two different versions of the Magnetic Fields' GET LOST LP?
― the pinefox, Thursday, 18 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)
Do you have to go and buy tracks while they're still reasonably new, or is there a fair bit of back stock? And are the Greensleeves riddim compilations mixed or do they feature full-length tracks? I'm mainly looking for "Money To Burn" (don't know who this is by but it rocks) and Mr Easy's "Crazy", both of which are based on the Buy Out riddim, but I'd be interested in any other Buy Out tracks or, well, anything, really. (Cue lots of dancehall connoisseurs laughing at me - as you can see, I don't really know what I'm talking about at all. I feel far too white and middle-class to say "riddim", as well, but it seems fairly unavoidable.)
Anyway, thanks very much for your help, much appreciated, you rock. And an excuse for a record-shopping trip to the Berwick Street area is always appreciated, even if I haven't dared venture into the non- indie shops before :)

I really want to know why Donald Tusk has such a ridiculous, un-Polish name, but the internet will not help me (in English, anyway).
Also, I can't find that Nazi propaganda poster of the Jewish octopus controlling the world (the head is a dollar sign centred on New York, and in a neat touch the tentacle stretching to the Philippines has been severed by a samurai sword).

A Chinese communist propaganda poster I saw in the Tate once called "The Nightmare of Future War" which was either the inspiration for the opening scenes of Terminator, or a startling coincidence. Or a fake. There was a futuristic warplane that really was similar to the ones in the film, searchlights and flak, and the ground was a sea of skulls.

Hrm
De Toth also claimed that he had been married seven times. In the United States, he was married to Veronica Lake, Marie Louise Stratton, and Ann Green. In his autobiography, he mentions Lillian, whom he wanted to marry in Vienna, but she refused. Perhaps he counted her as his first. He left no clues to any others. So I emailed Nick and asked if he really had seven wives. Nick replied, “The answer to that one went with him to the grave. But my mother implied it was unlikely.”
― Kim Kimberly, Thursday, 15 January 2026 23:16 (five months ago)
Thanks, makes sense. Timeline of his marriages makes another four unlikely.

Yes, he wasn’t as much of a charmer as he was made out to be. I was interested as watched his Western ‘Ramrod’ which stars Lake. I didn’t know at the time she was married to De Toth.
She’s in several scenes with Joel McRae and looks tiny next to him. She’s in several apparently claimed to be 5”2 but was really only 4”11.

Ok, so this is the vaguest of info and might be partially or entirely a false memory, but:
I remember reading an interview with members of Belle & Sebastian where one of them, not Murdoch iirc, talked about having gotten really into 1920's UK jazz (this feels weird just typed out, was there even any? He might also have said "big band music", which would make the decade tag even stranger, but I do remember the 1920's thing standing out to me so I doubt it was actually 30's/40's); described it as sounding very sad or melancholy? And said he was planning to reissue some of this stuff for a label he was putting together.
Haven't found any info online on this. Quite possibly it's something he talked up and which never materialised, or maybe my brain added the reissue thing because I wanted to hear that music. Or perhaps it was just someone entirely unrelated and my memory has subbed in a Belle & Sebastian member.

Google gave me your previous post on this...
I read an interview with one of the d00ds from Belle & Sebastian where he claimed to be listening to a lot of 20's british dance band music, he mentioned there's a label that's cranking out tons of reissues of that kind, proceeding alphabetically, at cheap prices. Didn't name the label, tho. :(― Daniel_Rf (Daniel_Rf), Monday, April 17, 2006

There was definitely jazz in Britian in the 1920s. Ray Noble and Al Bowlly being the two biggest names maybe? This might be a place to start

But there are dozens of compilations you could pick through for this kind of music. Another tip might be asking ilxor Camaraderie at Arms Length

Oh yeah, the names Ray Noble and Al Bowlly do ring bells. Embarassing that I read the Bob Stanley book in recent memory and already have my timeline messed up like that.
Wonder what 2006 me was on about re: alphabetical order.
― a ZX spectrum is haunting Europe (Daniel_Rf), Thursday, 26 March 2026 10:11 (two months ago)
afraid I'm not sure which label it could be, there was a big dance band scene in 20s London after ODJB & others toured, and the trad jazz scene always retained that novelty jazz feel, though the dance bands adapted to a lighter feel once they got gigs on BBC radio. Noble and Bowlly are 1930s figures rather than 1920s really and belong to this latter era. My favourite compilation of the 20s novelty stuff is The Pig's Big 78s though there's plenty of other stuff on there too. There's a Roots Of The Bonzos compilation that gives you a good selection too.for B&S, the one you can chat to easily online is Chris IME.

I once read (or listened to) a really good article (or podcast) about how people with authoritarian leanings in their home life have usually have the same attitude towards politics, importance of discipline and following a strong leader over fairness & justice, etc. I have found the general theory but am looking for something digestible to share with people. Does anyone have an idea what I'm thinking of?
