I like your attention to detail

Much more interested in the World Cup 2015

Long: About 800 to Santiago in north west Spain Short: Usually about 15 miles for London shows, but it's public transport so feels like 150. There was one JT solo show at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass where thanks to a kind friend I got put up about a mile away, though there was a twisty path through the woods that might have added a few yards.. Edit - I suppose I'm only counting distance traveled that day (Travelling to Spain was all in one day), but the London to SF was longer if that rule does not apply (though I was not travelling solely to see JT so perhaps that counts against it).

So, turns out I saw the rehearsal. AN hour later then did it again for live TV. They sounded better when I saw them :-) http://www.itv.com/goodmorningbritain/entertainment/the-beach-boys-bring-some-california-sunshine

Half way through and this refreshingly different series is still producing the goods. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iE1nsOoTJos

Walking along the Thames embankment as part of my daily commute - past the ITV studios. A small stage was set up for an outside broadcast piece from the Beachboys (w/o/ Brian). Just as I was passing they got on stage goofing around for a couple of minutes while waiting for their cue, then they performed California Girls - live vocals and a couple of turned down guitars to a backing track. A little crowd of around 50 or 60 had gathered. A couple of the guys from Brian's backing band are performing with them. Sounded good and a better than usual way to start the week. I had seen Brian a couple o

Presumably in the best category:- http://www.nme.com/photos/keeping-it-in-the-family-20-of-the-best-and-worst-collaborations-between-musicians-and-their-kids/378998 Not an earthshattering article, but I posted it because of the errors. The Tweeds made a album, and I liked the idea of "Spencer putting collage on hold to live the indie dream". I wonder how long it will take them to make the corrections.

In my teens I thought that I would make a great quality controller for Paul McCartney. As my younger years I used to go underneath the stairs and pray for Wales to win in the rugby before games. I also believed that if I blinked a the split second the opposition kicker took a penalty or conversion they would miss. I still do that out of habit. It is surpisingly effective.

Heard about an upcoming documentary film about Kit Lambert and the other guy. Googling produced this amongst other hits:- http://www.mojo4music.com/20254/the-who-managers-exposed-in-new-documentary/

Guilty Pleasures - Luxury in Ancient Greece Tales from the Tour Bus : Rock'n'Roll on the Road - presented by the affable Rick Wakeman. Some great footage.

I never lost my faith in you - many thanks

Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell 1864 - new Danish epic historical drama series The Game = Spooks in the 1970s Frankie Boyle's Election Autopsy Anyone not familiar with Scottish potty mouth Frankie Boyle should check him out.

New album out now - he's been looking and sounding good on Jools Holland and a live Radio2 In Concert session on TV this week. http://youtu.be/w8dhvMNATE0 Also, the last time I was in Woking walking from a local garage to the shopping centre I founf myself in Stanley Road by accident.

My work colleague just arrived and told me this. My response (which I'm quite proud of): "So, for once, he didn't wake up this morning". A bit of British black humour there. Seriously though, bad bad news. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqUhdBAJfsk

Greetings to the "old contemptibles" queuing this morning. Hope your requests are good ones and get played

Sweet Child o' Mine

5 1967 Sonny and Cher - I remember listening to my mum singing along to the radio in the kitchen. I had no records of my own. 10 1972 Monkees from TV repeats during the summer holidays and the theme from The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe for a similar reason. 15 1977 Beatles / Stones / Faces 20 1982 The Jam / U2 / Ry Cooder 25 1987 REM / Early 70's Dylan / 10,000 Maniacs / Los Lobos / Lone Justice / Long Ryders and a few emerging US artists that got me into Americana 30 1992 A bit vague - something like Crowded House, Jonathan Richman and Cowboy Junkies I think. 35 1997 Again vagu

This got me thinking, since in this mp3 age and with less free time than I'd like there are really relatively few albums I listen to in their entirety. This is, as I say, usually not through choice, but it also does not help that there are hardly any albums without at least one track I do not like. I am very picky. These came to mind as 5 albums that I would value for complete listening today. Order is very difficult. Touchdown - The Brakes Liver! Lung! FR! - Frightened Rabbit All Mod Cons - The Jam Wings Over America - Wings We Used To Think The Freeway ... - Richmond Fontaine On any ot

Wow, can't imagine holding a camera at a show for 2 hours, but I'll watch it all the same this lunchtime. They don't play Company In My Back often enough.
