Ha! No - womens football is not such a big thing for me to be too fixated, plus the English women always seemed to be coming from behind in the knockout games so it was nice to see them come through each time. It is a strange thing. For rugby I would be supporting 'anyone but the English' in the majority of situations (definitely in the 6 Nations), though if they get to the later rounds of the World Cup then it would depend specifically on who they were playing and how they were playing (they have had a boring style for some decades). I might also switch allegiance during a game if they went f

Ta (though as I'm Welsh it's not a real red letter day). The icing on the cake for the Changing of the Guard would have been for the colour guard to do a bit of headbanging in bearskins for a few seconds, but I suppose they need to keep some rules of protocol.

Changing of the guard with Paranoid played. Made me laugh anyway. https://www.tiktok.com/@about.london/video/7532839159791160598

Yeah, and it was even worse I think for A Hard Days Night and Help where I've read the second side was instrumentals/soundtrack versions by 'George Martin and his Orchestra'.

So even in the 70s in the US they were still selling the mangled Capitol versions of the albums rather than the proper EMI ones (up to Rubber Soul I believe)?

Gone for ever. More's the pity. My favourite rugby league team too in the 90s. One of the greatest 'teams' of any sport ever.

Watching the videos that have been released. "@Aranivah is an alternative/subculture dancer and Salvadorian immigrant teaching the world obscure dances. " Since when was Northern Soul an obscure dance? . FWIW, IMHO the flower song is more dead strings strumming, but Out in the Dark is great.

The vinyl pictures have some song titles/lyrics visible.

Ta(rdy) As I said elsewhere, next year Hampton Court Palace in June gets my vote. P.S. Happy Revolution Day!

A drowsy (sies)ta.

I'm just a sentient bot.

1000 views! Just like the good old days . . .

Bit of a comfort read, but why not, since I'm struggling with some Polish novel about some guys going off the rails in the Tatra mountains (in English) and this arrived in the post today - a second hand bargain. So I've diverted.

Scorchio!

A preemptive (cas)ta(net). Predictions for 40+ degree heat in southern Spain in a day or so. Stay safe!

Definitely Maybe Not. I find Noel quite entertaining as an interviewee, but Oasis were always too derivative for me. A handful of tracks that I like. Even if I did like them I would not go to a stadium show - far too big, not to mention that ticket prices were rammed into the several hundreds.

Spiders - great, especially the semi-acoustical version and/or with audience participation. It's driving forward not dawdling along with noodling :-) Impossible Germany - pushing my limits. There have been times when I have very much enjoyed it, others when Nels goes too jazzy for me. It is always nice when it comes together for the Thin Lizzy dual guitars (and sometimes all the more so as a blessed relief). My vote would for it not to be the sure fire middle of the setlist resident that it is every night. There'd be room for two more less frequented tracks in its place e.g. the much miss

I wonder if Mikael was itching to have a bash on that organ. <Anna Lapwood says: "Over the last 11 months, I’ve been lucky enough to be let into the Royal Albert Hall in the middle of the night for practice sessions on the hall’s magnificent organ. As I’ve explored the strange, beautiful, and wonderful colors that it has to offer, I’ve written a set of new film music transcriptions with that specific instrument in mind, capturing some of the magic that I feel in that iconic building after-hours".> Heard an interview with her on the radio t

(Jacques) Ta(ti), (Vol)ta(ire), or indeed (Gus)ta(ve Eiffel). So, in summary, the Royal Albert Hall was close but no Cigale. (I’m here all week . . . )

Actually, I remember now that when I saw Emmylou it was free as the company I worked for had some debentures and (given that no high-ups seemed to have wanted to go) put the tickets out to whoever responded first. Maybe there is enough of a proportion of corporate seats there to affect the atmosphere. Though it would seem strange that they applied to every event, if they did for Emmylou then perhaps they do. But that was in the 90's so who knows.

Well spelling words with more 'u's might help boost your numbers for a start.

Ta. From what I can tell from reported other venue capacities and ticket prices, this show was probably bank rolling the Euro tour, so it is a shame that it was not given the full 'evening with' treatment. That could have formed the basis of a very good 'Wilco at the Royal Albert Hall' eye-catchingly named roadcase or even future bonus official release - since the sound quality/acoustics would have been great. I am with you though - spit and sawdust venues are for me. The more rowdy Roundhouse night 2 (Nick Lowe!) and Brixton Academy (good Spiders chant) shows were my favourites th

Belated ta from deepest Hardy country. No time to read the London review now - something to look forward to tonight or tomorrow!
