Ta to theashtraysays for fillling bbop;s boots (or was that just a nasty rumour).

If Dante was alive today, Via Chicago would defo be one of the extra Circles of Hell.

Definitely not lame. Ta.

Sorry to hear you lost out. Still, good to know that even after the enforced layoff, Wilco are still more entertaining than a vat of used hot grease (which I have always said so myself). Ta (kinda)

As I've said before, definitely in the mood for upbeat, if not out-and-out raucous shows after all this time (if I was in any position to attend). Ode To Joy may be many things, but I would say that upbeat is not one of them.

Best part of the review right there. Ta.

Interesting. Don't know how much of the Wikipedia entry you read then, but The Two Ronnies sketch show was a national institution - though the real pinnacle of his career was Porridge - you really need to watch some of those. I seem to remember that there was a US remake that wasn't succesful. The strange thing about The Two Ronnies was that Barker wrote most of the show under an assumed name and no one else knew who it was posting in scripts for sketches until after many years very near the end when everyone met up at a pub and were hanging around waiting for the main writer to show up - then

Another nail in the heart of Via Chicago after the FaceBook Group :-) Seriously, could be very interesting, though as a UKer I will be on the freebie option as I think (as for The Tweedy Show) it will be US-centric for times and activities etc. I will appreciate getting some more of Jeff's humour (actually the thing that made me a 'fan' rather than just a music lover like with other bands that just get my deep appreciation - which is actually a select few - I'm pretty picky). There was some humour in the TTS of course but due to timing I have only seen about half a dozen of those and act

A genuine laugh out load moment when I read that. How long does it take episodes to get uploaded to YouTube these days? I will have to look out for No. 200. P.S. Thanks for the summaries from me too. I don't watch what with the time difference, but special episodes like this I will try to catch.

Digging the first double A-side single "Nippy in the Trossachs" / "Bottle of Bucky (Girl you are my Commotion Lotion)"

Just you and Chuck Berry. Still looking for this one for your collection?

So when is the 20th anniversary exactly?

Hey, three's a crowd in this vacuum!

In space, no one can hear your setlist ream.

Altogether now, "Let's Go Rain ..."

Go easy on the new recruit Staff Sergeant Setlist.

You know me too well. Ta anyway.

It's been a while for that hasn't it? Always wanted to hear that JT solo in person.

Bataclan 2007 I believe. I think the Elysee Montmartre has been rebuilt after the fire, though of course the Bataclan had its own darker day if that's what you mean.

I seem to remember gifting you a Paris ticket stub once after you had mislaid yours - possibly when that mad French guy was trying to start moshing around you (or maybe he was just trying to get a lock of your hair - thanks for mine by the way: still in the lucky locket). It's some consolation now to think that there's a part of me always with you.

I've just captured the Bbop segments of the stream and formed them into a loop along with the Everyone Hides cameos to play as a new video installation in an updated section of his shrine situated in my garage. On special festival days I light a jostick rolled from recycled Wilco ticket stubs in his honour, while chanting his meditative invocation "Om Mani Padme Cubs". P.S. My sect tends to shy away from anything tantric, but once in the garage visitors can feel free if the spirit moves you (as long as you clean up after yourself).

OK then, so how is the Beatles cover? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPIsTKpAoE4
