Thanks people. Watching now to chill after the tension of the Wales Ireland game. Nice to hear the Neil Young cover for the first time.

When I try to watch a rerun now I get 'error'. Is it available for replay at all, or maybe its blocked outside the US. Anything new/funny?

Particularly fine reportage - Ta. Also enjoyed your use of the word 'chagrin' a day or so ago.

I feel like I've been played like a fool ...

Agree on the last part. I look forward to your reports. Must crack on with work now. Goodnight!

I shall not be attending, but there will be a corner of a foreign factory yard that is forever banter. Actually apart from the impractically of particular domestic and employment arrangements, I think I'd suffer a reaction to such an overtly 'arty' place. I prefer some craftsmanship in art (or an actual truly interesting idea that is all too rare in the vast majority of modern art in my opinion). Not to mention all the poncey beer concessions. Plus all those gushing Wilco fans ... Edit. Based on a vague memory from 1981, I can recommend King Sunny Ade. Take your dancing pumps.

Nels Cline and Norman Wisdom would be worth travelling to see. http://youtu.be/kColMK9r99Y A missed opportunity.

Today is the big one, which is not usually a Friday.

Someone has transcribed what Mike Skinner said http://abbeyrd.proboards.com/thread/5186/john-meant-paul-day-murdered#ixzz3OiukV4LF He has definitely spoken about being the first person to pass on the news to Macca before:- http://www.macca-central.com/news/2648 - but did not mention this extra information then. Really need to hear him questioned about it further ...

FYI - Free podcasts of Lennon interviews available from iTunes. 1 from 1980 A series (about 2 hours in total) from Rolling Stone interviews in 1970 (I think)

Didn't hear about that in December. It sounds like the semi-famous (here) Portsmouth Sinfonia Orchestra http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portsmouth_Sinfonia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpJ6anurfuw

Turned out to be pretty interesting. Who knew the Nazis and Bing Crosby would be responsible for the recording industry as we know it. 10 minutes on Brian Wilson recording Good Vibrations with the Wrecking Crew, and the last 10 minutes on the Beatles.

Whilst watching "Top of the Pops - Ths Story of 1980" I heard an interesting assertion:- http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04w0fyz The programme got to December and Lennon's death. Amongst the talking heads throughout the show was Richard Skinner, an ex Radio 1 DJ and also sort of their specialist news reporter on a twice daily (as I remember) slot called "Newsbeat". He said he woke up at 4am and heard of the shooting on the BBC World Service. He drove straight to the Newsbeat office and on arrival remembered that he had McCartneys's home phone number in his little black book. After ditheri

Keith "plays" a moog in 1969. Is it just me or does he actually have no clue what he is doing? http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/music/posts/la-et-ms-keith-richards-moog-20150120-story.html

A little bit more, from Scotland this time. Nothing really new though. http://www.scotsman.com/what-s-on/music/jeff-tweedy-keeps-making-music-in-the-family-1-3664499

Some pre-Dublin publicity:- http://www.irishmirror.ie/whats-on/music-nightlife-news/family-affair-wilco-founder-jeff-4990125 Of note:-

As one of those who is unlikely to ever get to a SS, I'll be very interested in seeing this and hope that will be possible. There was a snippet of film of a rehearsal of one of the covers a while back (can't remember which one off the top of my head). Less 'effect on the rust belt town' and more rehearsal/performance footage as far as i'm concerned though ... or an extras DVD with both the concerts etc. as I can understand the film going for a more rounded concept.
