  1. For all the insomniacs and undead out there, here are the songs I remember (no more than one ommission I'd wager, THOUGH THE ORDER IS COMPLETELY HAYWIRE):- Someone Else's Song Remember The Mountain Bed Someday Some Morning Sometime (the online request of mine, so 2 thumbs up) Simple Twist of Fate [bob Dylan] So Much Wine [Handsome Family] Be Not So Fearful [bill Fay] with Bill Fay brought up on stage for a duet One Wing Spiders (Kidsmoke) Bob Dylan's Beard I'm Always In Love Laminated Cat The Ruling Class Impossible Germany Muzzle Of Bees Via Chicago California Stars Jesus, etc. One Wing New
  2. I seem to remember that from a while back (not this series) and it was poor. Each Dr Who series can be patchy depending on the writer of each individual episode, but this series in particular has built to an amazing climax and I have not been so enthusiastic about Dr Who since I was a kid (which explains alot of the appeal in the UK - everyone has just grown up with it). It's funny that apart from the original Star Trek series and single original Star Wars film, all the things on your list haven't got much appeal for me. I think the set up simply gives free rein to imaginative storylines and h
  3. Wow. Just wow. Brilliant TV. Already my best Dr. Who ever.
  4. Not long for the red-tops to gear up to this one (the gutter press not the England team in their red strip) but they're doing their best in wheeling out the Hun puns. Meanwhile, more nutty than rabid:- The vuvuzela in place of the plunger is a nice touch.
  5. Incredible world cup for upsets. First France, now Italy. Spain not safe yet. And England have blown their chance of the easiest imaginable route to the semi-finals. But as a Welshman I can get enjoyment with any result, and they've shown themselves to be such a shambolic bunch of overpaid morons I don't have any respect for them either way. USA on the other hand have shown refreshing endeavour and enthusiasm.
  6. Strange synchronicity: JT books a Joker in support:- Patrick Monahan Maybe JT will have to up his game in the banter stakes. Even stranger synchornicity:- Question: What's track 4 on the soundtrack to 1966's Batman movie? Answer: "Roger Wilco"
  7. Personal tutorial from Charlie Watts?
  8. Now we're talking! World Cup moments recreated in Lego:- Green's moment of shame Mexico score - gets good from 1:15 So, not exactly rivetting so far, but that's usually the way with most of the first group games. Samba party tonight though as North Korea get a mauling.
  9. Where would we be without a world cup wall chart? All part of the World Cup mythology since the age of about 8.
  10. Probably UK only: http://www.itv.com/channels/itv1/ Pretty certain BBC coverage for their games is restricted.
  11. BBC not covering this first game (SA v Mexico), so watching the text only commentary updates on my PC whilst looking over someone else's shoulder to see the screen of someone who is 'authorised' to watch ITV on the internet. These made me laugh:- Was not really looking forward to it beforehand, but now it's started I may get caught up in the atmosphere. Edit: Now pictures on my desktop. Result!
  12. "Holy Toledo" indeed, as JT goes to Spain for some solo shows too. Hence solving the riddle of the lone UK show in the middle of nothing else Wilco-related. Good that he's allowed a few days to get there after London. What with the Icelandic volcano situation being off and on, a ferry to Santander might be the best option. This might come in handy down there, apparently:- Batman is El Murcielago Bruce Wayne is Bruno Diaz Dick Grayson is Ricardo Tapia The Joker is El Guason Catwoman is Gatubela Batgirl is Batichica Gordon is Fierro The Riddler is El Acertijo Mr Freeze is Capitan
  13. Chapter 27 - No and not really interested in that event/era. The Hours and Times - Am aware of it but have not seen it. Though I am interested in Lennon (one of the only a handful musicians whose biog I actually care to investigate) due to his diverse and contradictory character(s) and this is an intriguing incident, I'm not sure if I'm prepared to sit through an entirely fictionalised guess at what might have gone on i.e. whatever sort of themes and attitudes the film is exploring would best be done in a 'proper' work of fiction not playing on a 'Beatles connection'. However, as I sort-of me
  14. Haven't seen any mention of this. Has it made it over the pond yet? http://www.nowhereboy.co.uk/ http://www.metro.co.uk/metrolife/825509-nowhere-boy-is-a-poignant-ballad-of-john-lennon-and-his-mum Saw it recently without too many expectations and enjoyed it in a quietly nostalgic kind of way - both as a Beatles fan and someone who misses the simpler musical times of yore (though I don't go back quite that far).
  15. You will be on a trip from Gotham City Paul? And BatGirl/CatWoman - who cares?
  16. I wouldn't recommend taking anything that size up the Arsenal.
  17. On sale today via Sandbag http://wilcotickets.sandbag.uk.com/Store/DisplayItems.html Zonk! Got mine! Kpoooooww!
  18. “Holy Toledo!” Union Chapel Wed 30th Jun 7:00 pm Jeff Tweedy £22.50 adv + booking fee http://www.unionchapel.org.uk/events.php Great venue - have a soft spot for it since Jonathan Richman visited No other details. Just spotted via some idle venue checking and although I did think twice about not posting until I had bought a ticket (no idea when they might be available), altruism won out (though I might have to resort to violence if I don't get a pew near the front). Nice bit of news on a slow day. I just checked the Wilco tour schedule and it does seem to be stuck on its own - not
  19. Not bad I thought for an intro episode. I had grown tired of the previous Doctor's hyperactive whining and he had become too one-dimensionally 'whacky' for me. This one seems to have more variation - calmer and serious at times. A few nice little jokes - the 'I thought you were a nurse', 'delete your browser history' for the adults etc. Hopefully Moffat, while having to stick with the remit of targetting 12 year olds, will keep enough depth in to keep the adults happy.

  20. Listened to the Haiti fund raising London recording last night. At one point JT mantions Queen, Anti-Nowhere League, and Cron Gen. I thought where have I heard the name Cron Gen before? Then I remember I worked with a guy in that band and people here are still in touch with him. He wasn't one of the original members - as a database administrator (I'll leave his anonymity intact) his personality is far from what you'd expect from a punk, so maybe that explains it. The band leader Glynn "Baxter" Barber is his best mate though (but apparently an arse who keeps falling out with each band member
  21. Woooo. The big question is - what is Craig Ferguson doing hosting late night US TV? Last I knew was this:- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Xn6nMZ-CAU - which in it's fly on the wall documentary style (though that peters out near the end) pre-empted The Office. Also, in Scots now mostly in the US, this was a funny little series sadly missed:- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnReqwF9YAI
