The latest series of Later has had a gem every week so far. . Also .

Ta. Have a well earned submarino! That sound is really bright and exciting - hope it's the end of the strummy epoch - rekindles my interest in seeing them again (Base of My Skull excepted - I'm not a 'jam guy'). Also enjoyed JT flicking the 'V' at 1:33:05. A homage to Dave Davies maybe (see 2:15): -

It's the uncredited Steve Marriott backing vocals that make it.

Best orchestration since Greg Lake - I Believe In Father Christmas

Will be watching:- Been a big fan of Tim Key's radio show for ages. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03pn5pl/episodes/player?page=3 Funnily enough I have ruminated for a while on the idea of bringing Augie March to the UK if ever I won the lottery. It would be at a normal smallish venue, but I would have a guaranteed good spot up front.

'Ruggers' (WTF?) has been alot less appealing in terms of results the last couple of years. However renouncing my birthright is not an option, and our default stance being Welsh is always underdog, so we will endure. Also re Gallagher - I remember my early shows having that whiff of jeopardy about them - happy JT or grumpy JT. I used to like it if I knew Donna would be present (she came to Europe a few times) as I thought JT would play nice then. Now I'm sure the same applies whenever your aura is detected if ever JT is veering to the grumpy side. He knows you can imagine him standing th

Ta. Re biscuit scenario. I am away that week on holiday. Sorry about it.

Good luck way down south.

Emmylou. I'm a harmony guy.

Ta. Straight out of the Bbop playbook. Good stuff.

You know, this is just the type of important detail that Bbop misses with his concentration on the minutiae of flubs and banter . . . Open your eyes man!

Ta. Particularly like the one where the band scours the stage for the rat that Mikael swears he saw - much bigger than a cat apparently.

Thank you. Yours Albert Ross Tatlock P.S. Make sure you see CMAT in Chicago! See Belter thread. P.P.S. albatross - geddit?

Ta. Thanks for chipping in. I'd be hard putt to read a more eagle eyed zinger of a report on a slice of Wilco action, and you've gone a fair way to making my day after a rough start. I'm green with envy. P.S. Can't quite fit in mashie niblick.

Shogun. A visual and cultural treat - stunning. A nice twist towards the end so it was not all about a 'big final battle scene' as lots of these blockbuster productions always are.

The very fabulous CMAT - one of the very few people I would go to see live these days. In the US in September, Chicago on the 13th. Do go, and if you don’t enjoy it I will personally refund you your ticket, or tell you that you’re a stupid twat. One of the two. The drummer is also a dead ringer for a female Spencer T.

Plus there's always the potential for the wandering bollock faux pas.

Ta. So much talk of rain you could all be British. And perversely there has been so little of it here this spring.

Some time ago I dismissed Watch Me Disappear from the Augie March canon for some unknown reason and never bothered to get it. I picked up a CD for a couple of qiud last week after revisiting on Spotify, and it is up there with their best. Few can find a melody like Mr Richards 1 min 10s in here is just wonderful . . . Their latest 2 albums however have indeed left me cold. But Bootikins from before that is fab, though a tad overproduced in parts. Here are my favourite two:- As an aging man this really strikes a chord :-

Do it! Just before my free month ends I'm watching Get Back for a second time. I think my favourite moment is during Commonwealth when John starts and Macca nearly cracks up - about 50 secs in below https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0kdX-1Mnqg .
