Albert Tatlock

I'm wondering if it is significant that on WilcoWorld all the US shows on the tour say ''Full band performance", but none on the European leg do. Hmmm. I did try looking at the HSB stream a few times but of course the time difference didn't work out for me and I couldn't see any saved sets to watch (might be worth keeping an eye out for the archives to be updated with 2025 sets). Weather seemed gorgeous though from some YouTube bits and pieces I have seen, and the band really put some life into the songs (played live - duh!) but sounding brighter if you know what I mean, and with more en

He's back!

Bastards the lot of you! (See that's what jealousy can do to a man)

I will certainly shower you with praise if they finally do The Unwelcome Guest

Spangly leotards all round. I think you're on to a winner (as long as they don't forget the spare pairs of socks - except Pat of course who doesn't need that). And to think that in this day and age it would probably be possible to AI-up an image of that, but I don't think we want to go there now or it will spoil the surprise at SS.

The King Must Die - Mary Renault. Next will be either Blood Meridian - Cormac McCarthy. (50% of my reading is historical fiction, the other 40% historical non-fiction, with 10% for oddities) or And Away - Bob Mortimer (falls into the oddity bucket) Here's a question for you. My answer shocked my wife when it came up a few weeks ago. When I read I hear the words in my head like I am my own audio book, which means I can't read quicker than the words can be spoken - and no quicker than 'normal' speech, not forced quick speech. I suppose I like to savour the words.

The pen is mightier than the sword, but glad my quill only dealt you a glancing blow.

You being Gríma Wormtongue in the court of King Tweedy to my Saruman, what's the news on the e.t.a. of the client written version of Feel Free? Asking for a friend who may have submitted a couplet.

Ta. Music of the spheres indeed.

Listening now . . .

If so then something like You Wear It Well, but it would be great for them to bring Love Like A Wire back. Also, is it just me or does Sima look scarily like Spencer in the latest promo stuff. Then there’s also the resemblance to CMATs drummer. Not trying to start JT love child rumours but it’s weird.

But you did get a nice new coat and some perfume for the wife out of it.

Are there always riots then? Gloves off for riots too?

I just listed to the version i have on a burnt CD I received as a gift from someone on here back in the day when CD swapping was the thing. I don't know the providence of the tracks as it was a kind of bonus and I was not expecting it. But yes, my version has a blip there too. So I don't know if you can rest easy knowing you're not missing out, or that just makes you more frustrated that there isn't a perfect version - maybe there is on the Summerteeth humongous reissue. I don't go in for those sort of things - though I suppose I could check Spotify to see what's there.

Interesting, as someone who knows nothing about it. Anyway, ta and sorry for the delay due to the site being down.

Ta Bbop!

Jesus, his standards are slipping. Only if he goes to see CMAT in September will my faith be restored. Ta

How long was the queue for Pat at the petting corner? Ta

I think we've all got a pretty good idea by now. Finally after all these years. So that particular person ignored the "Don't feed the animals sign?" I imagine tonight is now going to be mayhem on the scale of George and the jellybeans. Some of your best work right there. Ta.

I'm more of a Junior Bonner guy myself. "He has only one problem - the twentieth century" Make that 21st and it's about right.

Ta. Stan Ogden lived just down the road from Albert Tatlock, and Hilda Ogden was the greatest soap character ever. Just saying.

You slipped 'teton' past the censors. Ta(tas)

When it comes to Wilco, I think of you as the computer who wore tennis shoes. P.S. Only today did I see that it was Kurt Russell. I always thought it was that guy from the Waltons. One of the first films I saw in a cinema, along with Herbie the Love Bug and The Battle of Britain the same year (still traumatised by the image of the pilot who got his eyes shot out).
