Must rank up with that time Dolly Parton bust out her Coat Of Many Colours.

JamBase cares ... It would be nice to park the thread until they miss their publishing deadline but that doesn't work in the internet age. Was also wondering how messy the tequila tasting with John and Nels got?

This is what you want:- http://www.manvsglobe.com/mariachi-bands-plaza-garibaldi-mexico-city/ Somehow at that time (pre- Google) I just discovered it by chance. Maybe I'm becoming an old Git now but I often say that the internet has ruined travel - everyone knows everything about where to go (hence anywhere good quickly becomes overdeveloped/overcrowded), everything can and needs to be booked in advance instead of just turning up and finding places, etc. etc. There needs to be a large element of chance involved with travel. Bah humbug.

The museum was fine with English signage as I remember. Also have fond memories of a street near the centre where all the Mariachi bands hang out waiting for people to come along in pick-up trucks to hire them and take them off to parties for the evening, or play songs for you there for what was then a few dollars. Probably still going on if you Google ... You should definitely get out to Teotihacan (typing without checking spelling) too. The massive pyramids of course, but more amazing to think that the dark volcanic stone that you see was all plastered and painted in bright colours then (jus

I see you stand corrected. Ta. Also, as regards your comment in yesterday's thread - you are singlehandedly bumping up the average level of Wilco fandom present - much appreciated. Are you off to Mexico City too? I did a big Mexican archaeology-based tour once back in the day - Oaxaca, Palanque, many in Yucatan, Guatemala too. Amazing to think of the new sites discovered since then reclaimed from the jungle and many more to come. Great stuff. The main museum in Mexico City is well worth a visit. EDIT - So Much Wine! - was thinking about that song last week. Love JT's version(s).

A young member of the band once told me that it's (or should be) spelt TWEEDY in deference to another well known group. Just sayin'. Edit. Also - concerns about the weather, or a floater spotted?

Grassy arse.

Good man

His Dark Materials - good Dr Who type (when Dr Who is/was good) entertainment. More time to fully develop the plot than the movie flop. Great child actress and believable CGI for daemons & bears etc.

I too am all about the immature (if that needed restating). Ta.

Only because my own frail psyche needs your own daily unadulterated odes to joy (and a good brew of char).

Ta, but maybe lay off the Dostoevsky for a while

Augie March - Bootikins (Havens Dumb had a few great songs too, but was a bit overproduced to my ears)

Been listed above but I like this version as I'm a big fan of Glenn Richards https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GALNvntMEeU Also St Etienne:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhXJb6S3z38 And in the so bad it's good from the 70s category:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fyy0Leo3Lw4 Don't worry, you'll be singing it to yourself later ...

There was a solo show where JT introduced a game where you had to name a band and then imagine the kind of bowel movement from which the name arose. He offered up 'Led Zeppelin' as an easy starter. 'Hall & Oates', 'String Cheese Incident', 'Muddy Waters' were others amongst many mentioned that I can't remember. If I were there I would have gone with 'Blood Sweat & Tears'.

^^^ I seem to remember they have been continental US before, though that could mean coughing up for travel and overnight stay costs too.

Well, I had shaken it out of my mind until you brought it back up again. Doh! Still, there are worse big hit songs out there.

Mention of 'giant disco ball' made Disco Duck pop into my head. Now I can't get rid of it. It's going to be one of those days ...

So that's him, Neil Young, and Pete Waterman who I know of as model train geeks in the music world. I might if I had the time/space. Not so much for the trains but I used to enjoy building/crafting models.

Ta. Keep up the signage.
