To the tune of Hummingbird: "Andy Schleck, on a mountain And on Contador's wheel, he will ride away and climb them" That's all, except that I think it is great to see Cadel Evans still battling on. "the rainbow jersey can't give up".

I played cricket against Greg (old yellow Wiggle) just after he left the group. Really nice bloke. What's more, he had to adjust some of his batting gear (we wear padding on the thigh under the pants). He apologised and dropped his trousers to fix his gear up revealling Wiggle yellow underwear. Just saying. Founding drummer of Crowded House, Paul Hester (RIP), was very involved in getting them started, and appeared on the TV show from time t time. Finally - going by Jeff's version of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star on Someone Elses Song is enough for me to petition a kids album from Tweedy

Another Man Done Gone

Couldn't see this elsewhere http://www.prefixmag.com/news/jay-bennetts-last-album-to-be-released-for-free/40797/

Music, writing, illustrating, photography, for my own benefit really, I am pretty ordinary. I collect guitars, mainly cheap, crappy ones, by makers like Rokaxe. I think there are 8 presently. My last three were by Ibanez, Gretsch & Martin, so at least something is improving, though not my abilities. I want an American Tele next, blonde with maple fretboard... I used to collect football cards and autographs, not so much anymore. Did get Neil & Tim Finn to sign my Split Enz programme. I have also collected a resume of really bad jobs. I quit the most recent one today after it

After watching Sunken Treasure again today I'm reminded of Jeff's passive aggressive "What you want Sir, isn't what you want, anymore". Should I admit that I only worked out the real lyrics at the Sydney gigs this month? After listening and singing it for 3 years?

Via Chicago? She's a Jar? Sorry

The Man Comes Around - American IV - Johnny Cash Into My Arms - Boatmans Call - Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds. Greatest opening line to an album "I don't believe in an interventionist God, but I know darling that you do"

VC live. Would love to hear a studio version of the live performance, without people screaming to ruin the silent bits.

"Put on UFOs/ before you explo - o - o - o - ode" "Playing kiss cuddles beautiful & stoned"

My wife, struck down with cough and flu ATM, is now wandering around the house crying Foxtrot...foxtrot... foxtrot...

Hear hear! Only saw the two Sydney shows, but they were the greatest two nights of my life. The band and crew were in fine form, Liam Finn was in fine form, the venues seemed great, and the audiences were generally great. Can't say Pat's shaker catching was always so ace, I thought there was at least one drop at the Factory! Thanks too to exile for the Sydney recordings, great quality, and Wise Enough for descriptions. Sorry I didn't get to meet any of you, next time. My highlights: - Nel's pick - Jeff's pick - ALTWYS & Less than you think - being within a couple of metres of N

yes, there is that reason. A kiwi lass who said Liam Finn was her nephew, and that Jeff had spent time in NZ polishing things off at Roundhouse and Liam's new studio recently. I believe she went on to ask if Jeff was on steroids and asked if she could get on stage to show them rock. She seemed like a lovely lady, and I have no reason to doubt her. Just find it strange, after BT being a double particularly, that they would record 2 albums worth of stuff and not release half of it for 2 1/2 years... and not play any of it live. I admit, I have tried to goole stalk the Finn family to try to

I think 'countrymen' is too intellectual for most people down here, unless it involves someone walking around draped in the Australian flag holding a stubby. 'Fucking wanker' on the other hand sounds far more Australian, but preferably directed only at people who deserve it... Like politicians. Humanity makes me cringe sometimes.

War on War. But I need a Kamera to my eye too.
