Ditto. Years ago I always used to request it but then gave up as it seemed like it would never happen. I like Billy B, but JTs harmonies on the MA version are the highlight of the album for me. Always wanted to hear JT sing the whole song - though maybe that means he doesn't do the harmony part as I would need to hear it He would need John to fill in there.

The Missing Series 2, unrelated to series 1. Dark stuff. Flashback style that you have to bear with for the disjointed first episode, but geting great now. Latest BBC4 scandi-noir Modus starts on Saturday. https://mobile.twitter.com/BBCFOUR/status/794937852345905152/video/1

http://www.standard.co.uk/goingout/music/wilco-tour-review-not-a-band-for-the-narrow-of-mind-or-faint-of-heart-a3400761.html One other thought from Saturday that I remembered - it used to be the case that the first couple of songs suffered the distraction of a posse of photographers jumping arounf between the stage and the barrier. For better or worse those days seem long gone. There was a single photographer for a short period. Either Wilco are no longer 'cool' or the proliferation of personal camera phones now has downvalued their services I suppose.

[Roper.no.1]There's a great clip of the audience participation during Spiders up on the Wilco Instagram site; https://www.instagram.com/p/BNAz9FDjv3v/?hl=en That guy in red at the front has got some moves ...

Ah Wilco, it's been a while. In fact I was surprised myself quite how long. Over the past year since tickets went on sale I had pondered on how things might pan out, what with us missing out on a Star Wars tour visit and the hootenanny sessions having been and gone since they last visited London. But, recent shows have demonstrated the groove into which they've settled for the moment (I even did my homework last Saturday watching the stream of the Belgian show from the start of the tour) and I was quite happy anticipating something similar. So, the only speculation revolved around whether in B

Ta. Yup, a drought since the Roundhouse. Watching Wales v Japan.

Hope they're feeling a bit more perky by the end of the week. A can of blackcurrent tango may help. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=udVPQ3KlMTI

U2 for 10p at Exeter Uni Student Union. Half the time thinking Bono was a twat, half the time loving the show. Been about the same ever since. Florence and the Machine - third on bill, just her and a guitarist, with lyrics written on her wrist in biro. Definitely had a presence. Was about 30 people there. The National - Boxer release instore show/party May 2007. They hung around drinking afterwards, which was nice. Saw them couple of days later at a normal venue.

Bbop's in his heaven; all's well with the world.

Cry and Someone. Nice that they had 3.

Brilliant reportage. Ta.

Now that's what I call a rock show. Bravo Rio. Thanks for the report Mariana. Had a great time there myself once - and Buzios and Iguassu.

That's wonderful. Ta!

Food fight!!!!!!!!!

So this weekend is apparently Keith Richards weekend on BBC 4. From 7pm to about 4 am each night he seems to have selected films to watch, and between each one there is a 20 to 30 minute slot described as him talking about stuff on different topics in each slot as far as I can gather. Not sure I'll watch live other than checking it's worth catching up wth on iPlayer later. It starts with Origin of the Species, which the Beeb showed a few weeks ago. Only a few sentences that really caught my attention, but I came away with the general affirmation of what a different time it was in the formative

Freeze framing the scolling list, the stanout for me that should be the next album title is: Ding Dong! It's Wilco. The great Leslie Phillips would be so proud.

For what it's worth, I'm with A-man - murky and unstructured. A lot could be due to the (lack of) quality of the recording device, but I would have wanted to hear that famous drum rhythm more up front too.

Then unfortunately she sinks even lower in my estimation if she is making jokes about Aleppo right now.

Did one of the "comedians" really offer 'I am trying to break your fart' in one of those games. That's piss poor.

Nice one Cyril

^^^^^ The modern day equivalent to "the dog ate my homework, honestly sir". So for now I'll have to make do with this commentary https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ktYMkxD0Fzc

But some records are more equal than others. And as for double albums on vinyl, 4 sides good, 2 sides bad!
