Very interesting. Thanks for the reply. Good luck for the future!

I was browsing a couple of rock photo books in a bookshop yesterday from "renowned" photographers. It seemed to me that 99% of them were very ordinary shots and where they showed contact sheets you could see that they just banged out a load of snaps and just happened to get a few that were OK. It just so happened that the artist in the picture was extraordinary and that was what made them interesting e.g. Beatles (which I admit I spent most of my time looking at). I didn't see anything more special in terms of photography than what I see here. A lot were not even good technically -

Dark Matter by Michelle Paver. Not reading but listening. Spooky stuff and the readers voice is great to doze off to. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000c4pv/episodes/player

The Outlaws Series 3. (on BBC not Prime as the video here - I don't pay to view anything). Christopher Walken is not a main character this time but I believe he does feature a bit later on. Stephen Merchant's witty one liners still sparkle. I saw him live interviewing Jarvis Cocker for an hour for a radio show once and that was hilarious.

You took the words right out of my mouth. I don't think we've ever kissed though. Having Annihilation, Hot Sun and Meant To Be has given recent setlists a more spritely feel IMHO and I would be much more interested in seeing the again now.

Yeah - but I like how VC remains a 'safe space' for differing considered opinions rather than the sycophantic FB place.

Pretty clear sound - nice

True enough, he has dumb ramblings all over the place.

O Bbop, Bbop, wherefore art thou Bbop?

There was no The Unwelcome Guest. Bah humbug. Good job I never made the trip then, though Venus and Quiet Amplifier could have been worth the admission. I invite, nay implore, Bbop to fill us in with some details at a time of his choosing. Not a bad stab at the advertised deepcuts offering. Chapeau Wilco.

Good calls. I know what you mean.

FWIW - literally written in real time as I get my first listen. Hot Sun Cool Shroud - a very welcome upbeat song. A bit more subdued than I would like, when I compare with Magazine Called Sunset for example. Turn up the electric and fade the acoustic with the warn out strings IMHO. Lyrics without a phrase that catches my attention but the groove is growing on me. Livid - Would be fun to see live. If that approach/sound were applied more liberally elsewhere it would make Wilco perk up a bit from their strummy habits. Could do with some 'Ace of Spades' style vocals - I am av

Ta. I suggest you get in the habit of prodding them in the buttocks as a precautionary measure. You might just save someone's life. On tenderhooks for the deep cuts, cough, Unwelcome Guest, cough. (John can sing - JT do the harmonies).

"World". LOL. Actually I was in Japan when Japan beat USA last year. They were going mental over it - and the next day practically stalking some Japanese star who plays in America. Also and more importantly, there is a 'British' version of baseball played in the Cardiff/Newport and also Liverpool areas brought back by sailors and corrupted/improved. Quite different rules. We played as our summer sport in school. Lots of the rugby players used to play to keep fit in the summer. In fact my very local area team were often Welsh champions - though it was all amateur etc. This will g

Glad they did not forget the 'ed' on the end. Also: https://www.spin.com/2024/06/every-wilco-album-ranked/ Can't say I can summon up much spleen whatever they thought, as you say.

In danger of slipping into that demographic but I'm a pineapple upside down cake man myself.

Ta Milwaukee versus NY rivalries reminds me of the only baseball game I have ever attended - at Yankee Stadium in 1984. There was some kind of extension as 'you people' don't like drawn games, so it ended after midnight. Travelling back to southern Manhattan on the underground on my own was an 'experience'. NYC was a bit bankrupt and rougher in those days.

Belated ta. Been a busy weekend of shoddy horticulture.

In the interest of conditioned responses, if nothing else, ta.
