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.

Love is indeed ductile.

Glad to see Love Like a Wire getting an outing.

I have requested The Unwelcome Guest on more than one occassion. Obviously to no avail.

I always read your reviews wearing an open kimono. Ta. Also, I’m sure I was listening to some Wilco track on headphones the other week and definitely heard some bongos and thought that was odd/funny. Will have to narrow that down. Wasn’t immediately obvious - just like the bongos on Day In The Life.

Ta.

Don't forget - Scorchio!

Not to mention a Monkee. My least favourite Monkee who always made me cringe a bit, but still a Monkee.

Jonathan Richman Sigh ...

Maybe JT knows the more famous Madness cover https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmezIIrFQmY

Also, you may or may not know that the wrought iron fire escape round the back of the Hammersmith Odeon (as I shall always call it) was the one the Beatles burst out onto in Hard Day’s Night - though if I remember rightly the theatre in that film was The Scala and the field they ran out onto was elsewhere too. Interlop away matey!
