Ha ha. It’s quite old skool what I like to call ‘sitcom’ (see what I did there) but good stuff, and it ended after 3 series before losing any quality. Little Stevie always steals the scenes for me. Meanwhile, two Matt Berry comedy vehicles: What We Do In The Shadows (the tv spin off from the film) anf Year Of The Rabbit. At times reaching the dizzy heights he attained with series 1 of Toast Of London.

I have now bought this. Brilliant. These days I buy maybe 2 or 3 CDs a year max (and that does not mean that I pirate/stream others etc.). I would like to publicly thank those who brought it to my attention. Ta.

I have handed my Wilco Fanclub ID Card (Level 2) into the authorities of my own accord before I got the dreaded knock on the door. To be honest it was a forgery anyway.

Ta (and for the other 2). Interesting only Summer Noon from TWEEDY's Sukierae. Anyway, moving on to more important things: any news of Jonathan Richman? Tried to find some solace in Glastonbury on the tele, but found it lacklustre this year to my taste. The Beeb didn't feature Nick Low and Friends on Friday night, and it went downhill from there.

I agree - wonderful.

It’s been a while of course and I would have liked one of these kind of overall retrospective setlists in September after the Schmilco heavy one last time out for me. But I suppose it will be new album heavy then so fingers crossed its a belter.

"I want to hold you in the Bible-black pre-dawn" Always causes my ears to prick up, since it's lifted from my compatriot Dylan (the real one of course), and I come from Llanrumney, which is not too far of a stretch from Llareggub (which itself masks colourful language )

I can think of few things worse - my 2p's worth.

That's a very fast working digestive system you must have there, not to mention a rather laissez-faire attitude to hygiene.

Latest series of Line of Duty - Mother of God, Ted!

"... wasn't fully out of the woods yet." Nice choice of words. What does JT with food poisoning do in the woods? Sounds entertaining. Just summoned up a listen to the Goth version of HMD to get into the mood.

New series of Frankie Boyle's New World Order Great acerbic stuff.

But it is a superior kind of drivel. Way past gibberish - more into claptrap territory really. Also, if you changed your screen name to 'harmonica' then you get to appear with Jeff every night too!

Ta venerable Bede.

Also he should check out the website of Rough Trade Records East (they have a couple of stores in London) . They have lots of in store performances. They all used to be free and great (best for me was Shearwater / Richmond Fontaine / Patty Griffin with a guest spot from Robert Plant). Nowadays you usually have to buy something or they sell tickets as mini shows. JT/Wilco should go there next time in the UK. Plus it's near Brick Lane if he like a good curry. Oh, how could I forget my second favourite - Bush Hall. A bit further on round the corner from Shepherds Bush Empire. Small room that

Favourite is Union Chapel (but the pews are tough on the buttocks). JT has played there solo. Saw Mavis there once too (not the time she recorded her live album there - seem to remember she said it's her favourite place to sing ??), and Jonathan Richman and Aimee Mann amongst others. Great sound and smallish. As for the larger venues, in addition to those mentioned I would add the Brixton Academy (or whatever branded name it has these days) - purely because it has a sloping GA floor that helps give the majority good sight lines. Wilco played there last time they were in the UK if you remem

Did I just catch a whiff of bacon?

Ta. I have informed Her Majesty of the shortcomings of this auditorium and I am sure her name will soon be expunged from its title. Reputation is everything.

You're getting me all out of kilter. I need a cup of tea and a lie down. P.S. Always been more of a No Milk Today man myself.
