Cheers ring around the office as Germany loose in comedy fashion to South Korea and go out.

Car Share - finale League of Gentlemen - 3 part anniversary reunion. The Bridge (original) - final series

John playing with Ray Lamontagne on Later with Jools Holland last night. A restrained supportive role not looking to grab any attention. He might have picked up some moves from Nicky Wire who was also present on the show with the Manics.

I got into Wilco via Mermaid Avenue. I was bought a copy of Being There but couldn’t get into it. A while later I got Summerteeth and was obsessed with it for a while. Then saw the IITTBYH film and something about JTs character and humour struck a chord. His gift for melody is the key for me, plus the variety of styles, similar to my first love the Beatles (who I am also picky with some tracks). So there’s always enough on every album that I love, but always something that does not work for me. I don’t analyse my likes and dislikes, I just let them be instinctive. I don’t feel the need to be a

So sadly prophetic. That Live at the Captains Rest acoustic is one of my favourite live albums, even albums per se (and better than the original versions for me). His best for me:-

I’ve heard it now. It’s a bit naff and you probably won’t learn anything, so feel free to spend 2 hours doing something better with your time.

https://www.nationalreview.com/podcasts/political-beats/episode-33-kevin-madden-wilco/ Haven’t listened to it myself yet. No doubt he means more to you than me. I did hear part of one discussing McCartney. They seemed a bit pompous and self important. May be the same here but can be interesting just to hear people discuss Wilco, since it doesn’t happen that often, and its over 2 hours long.

Born to boogie. Duck walk! Duck walk!

Ta (in advance). WS has been in my head a lot this past week and even listened to Ray Davies on Master Tapes yesterday. Would of liked to have heard that.

Distance adds romance. Not quite so lovely every day ... but the walk along the river is always nice. It's coming up to the time when one of the main UK TV studios with a building on the river often has their morning news team presenting outside on the public embankment with St Pauls and the river as a backdrop, when the weather is good, and they often have musical guests etc. performing. A while back a highlight was seeing the Beachboys (w/o Brian) there whilst amongst a small group of earlybird commuters a few feet away. Well I can this evening, they're only there on Fridays :-)Actually t

The first hot sunny day of the year in London and I shall play Waterloo Sunset as I walk along the embankment tthis evening back to the eponymous railway station.

Well listening ... Alice's Wunderland http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03m3bhg Just about my fav radio comedy since The Mighty Boosh, though there's always I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue and Round The Horne in rotation as Old Masters.

Just checking you haven't taken a turn against the Welsh ...

What are you implying? :-(

Apologies for a late few words, but had a family event yesterday and I'm suffering from a cold today. Thanks for keeping up the reporting Bbop. It did feel a bit 'different' - inevitably since this was a sterile large arts centre type venue compared to the cosy Union Chapel where I had last seen JT totally solo, and that kind of venue, like the Edinburgh one on this trip, makes it much more of a celebratory meeting rather than a performance to an audience (with as you said, a higher ration of weirdos). Only the buttocks were won over by the Barbican's comfy chairs (I didn't expect the ...)

Sounds like some people had been on the commotion lotion.

Also, how was James E. I make a point of seeing openers, but I'd like to know if I should strive to get there on time what with a commute and Wales v Scotland being on in the afternoon.
