Nice to see Reservations there. Ta for the review!

I am all about melody and still find JT as one of its greatest purveyors. I get your point with some of the obvious word play / Come Together style lyrics on some songs, but Where Do I Begin has plenty of emotion when I listen to it, for example.

That was entertaining. A bit "geezerish" myself.

I respect your opinion and have some sympathy with it, since I was having similar thoughts in the Sky Blue Sky/The Album period, but I really loved The Whole Love and that arrested the decline in my interest. The Tweedy album and Star Wars were great, and I'm hoping that continues with the new one, but I do mantain a critical not sycophantic ear.

Best description I ever read was something like '5 geography teachers and a tramp'

Was about to edit for that but then got distracted with work :-) Good times - the rugby world cup semi in 2011 was bigger for me, but as this is footie it's globally more significant. A couple of our better players have to miss the match, but fingers crossed. Bale and the current Welsh rugby captain were in the same school year and the same 5 a side team. The PE teacher made Bale play only with his left foot to make things fairer for the opposition. Refreshing to see a team of footballers who aren't twats.

Safe travels Bbop, and if you can get in front of a TV tonight you can watch Wales v Portugal. I'm sure Wilco will delay starting until it's over.

Ta. Like the poster - very 'Jeff Lassoes the Moon'.

Been listening to this series for a while. A half hour format of an artist chatting about a seminal album they produced and performing a couple of tracks live. There has been a spin off extra half hour of audience Q&A. A wide variety of subjects. JT should do one (if you pardon the expression). Worth trying to hear from the US if possible. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-36357574 All the news this week is about a Macca special. Seems to be deviating from the one album format for him, but who cares. In this case they have also filmed the whole thing and its 45 minutes. Ca

Has he made the call to you yet? I bet JT is secretly trawling your write-ups over the years. The bad news is that what with the whole Star Wars rip off I can't see you getting any royalties

As always a big

Nice reportage. Wouldn't have had JT down as an apple watch kind of guy (I'm not). Suppose it could be useful for those secret mid-performance messages from the crew - "Your flies are undone!". That kind of thing. I'd guess it was a Grammy goody bag present :-) Enjoy tonight. Another new song? Nice to see So Much Wine there. Love that song as JT performs it. Seems churlish to request a cover at a JT solo show, but I would ...

Series three of Peaky Blinders just started. Stylish as ever, but so far needs to convince me it has the story to match.

Heh - I am Welsh. It's funny that I like all the Scandi-noir but have never got into Hinterland, though to be fair I have only seen a couple and it's one of those shows that that always seems to be on an an inconvenient time and is low down in the list for iPlayer reruns. Now watching: Mary Beard's Ultimate Rome - Empire Without Limit. The wonderful Mary does more of a social history rather than the usual emperors and dates. Agreed. That sly dog Dick Cavett eh?

… watching Camblewick Green & Trumpton http://trumpton3.homestead.com https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zan_Jujq6CA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BY6dV-Chv7s … we were also taking part in mystic Celtic rituals but you can google for those yourself.

You And I as the background track to a bit of a graduation montage during the last ever episode of Fresh Meat. The last 2 series have been a pale shadow of the first two.

I love what many consider the throwaway Wilco The Song for it's self deprecating humour, and a couple of others. What I remember from my initial listenings was what I perceived as a preponderance of moon/June type rhyming that did not seem to flow and grated with me a bit. "Deeper still than we can go, Further out than triremes row" comes to mind, though I do like triremes in general. Now and then something causes a reconsideration - like the great version of Country Disappeared on the Take Away Show below, but since then there always seem to be things I want to listen to more, and less and le

Ta very much!
