Albert Tatlock

People love Christmas But I am ambivalent New Year though: bollocks!

Truly loved that guy, especially as a kid. Then loved a lot of his music too. No one rocked a bobble hat like Mike. RIP.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhyipsMVesA Pat sings the Beatles and demonstrates his musical versatility by mastering the bog roll. The Whole Love is probably my fav Wilco album - I like to think because Pat co-produced and gave it a fantastic bright but not over-polished sound full of aural interest - just like a good Beatles album.

Nice to hear. I have looked for the snippets Disney have been releasing (and they looked brilliant) but did not commit to a subscription. May buy on DVD or something if there is a simple 4 DVD option without a ton of extras and packaging to bump up the cost. Suppose basically I am just so happy that a more positive vibe has been attached to that period after the downer of the original film.

I remember when someone was trolling about plagiarism of lyrics from some (fictional?) poet and JT posted (under srmt) to defend himself. I always think that FB is about me, whereas VC is (perhaps unfortunately more like was?) about we.

Thanks for taking the time to dig, and thanks to Narziss of course for all his efforts. Some of those names brought back memories. I think Stardog was always trying to spoof people with weird opinions. That was quite funny. I remember the Happy Busman and his recipes fondly. Wonder what happened to him? And if there's one constant apart from Kidsmoke, it's good ol' AnalogMan. Happy birthday us! P.S. In case anyone wonders at my user name, here is the explanation

And number 2 on the list maybe but not scary so perhaps disqualified. But anyway. . .

Time to fire up my favourite Halloween song

Maybe I have learnt a little bit from the Master having witnessed Bbop's miraculous powers of predicting which song is next based upon the guitars that come out. My guess would be RNG.

Ta to Bbop for staying safe and well too for this whole tour and keeping up the deluge/trickle (delete as you see fit) of reportage. Last seen on his way home to a well-earned rest.

This is what I had mentioned a few times around here that I hoped for and I think the audience needed as a tonic after the covid times, so really glad Wilco are doing it - but a shame I'm not over there to see it LOL. Hope they have made a move back in that direction after a few years of the whispery dirge-rock, which has it's moments on record, but live never does it for me. Enjoy the LA run (to Donna too)!

Ta. P.S. Digging your rhinestone clobber.

Wilco related fact. Leslie Bricuse - the (British) guy who wrote the Willy Wonka tune Pure Imagination used by Wilco prior to taking the stage on a couple of tours - died yesterday. Also, taking your advice. I find a few margaritas sometimes help too.

Beep beep, beep beep, yeah! nah! Meanwhile, altogether now ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SE5IfIkl_oA And whilst that tune evokes memories of TV adverts from the 70's (I seem to remember Cilla Black singing it but can find no evidence now), I present the best ever tea advert (one of a series over many years). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfkquXqhMdA You hum it son, I'll play it. Comedy gold.

Suppose you would have more experience of that than most #bathtubbuddies. Ta.

+1 in favour of an Antics Avenue just to the right from Banter Corner.

He mentioned my name. Swoon . . . (And I did genuinely laugh out loud reading that, so, you know, ta.)

You are allowed to be slack at weekends since my tea schedule changes from a normal work day, so no problem! Plus it's a bug day of domestic Welsh rugby today so I have other distractions.

You've really upped your game with the occasional choice photo. Ta.

Just over 10 miles and he makes it sound like the 1914 Shackleton expedition.

JT with a hat is always a bit of a downer - it casts a dark shadow on the face that restricts the connection with the audience in my opinion - just like lead singers who wear sunglasses on stage.

Ta as in northern English and Welsh 'thank you'. Come on Eileen too-rye-aye.

Some strange synchronicity going on there . . .

Au contraire mon brave, but only as much as it made me think of this rather than the Stones (which I didn't actually know):- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OIzhiQf490 SLF probably in my top 10 punk/new wave bands.
