JT is pretty good at dealign with an a rowdy audience, but a few lessons from the scottish master Frankie Boyle are always useful . Try part 2 also.

The one mystery from the setlist.fm report was that the band also played on an unknown song as the backing band for another performer

Song "Bayou City" written and performed by Rob Case, apparently.

Goes without saying, I too wish I had made it. Wild.

Nels on the right is a real mindf**k.

Feel the latest album suffers from the lack of an acronym. In this Tik-Tok age that just doesn't cut it for me, so it has to be judged on that basis.

Nice to hear a brighter, more diverse aural palette employed (back to Whole Love territory - which is a good thing). Nothing that I don't like (which is rare) but also nothing on first listen that immediately reaches up to the greatest heights of past favourites. Feel like there could be some growers though so not ruling that out (check back for an update if you can be arsed . . .). Overall pretty happy after the past few albums.

P.S. I did notice that you had initially mis-spelt Soldier Child, but decided not to pick you up on it after all you do for the cause.

RWC of course.

So Wales dominated Australia. That makes it Wales and our spirit brothers Fiji qualifying from our group in the dream scenario for the quarter finals in 3 weeks (couple more rounds of group games to go - 1 more versus Georgia for Wales which is inconsequential to our qualification).  Happy days.

P.S. Especially since Fiji will play England in their quarter final (and they beat them at Twickenham just before the RWC in a warm up game).

Which I can't actually read as it's not available in the UK.

Meanwhile, a bad day in Oz after losing to Fiji. All depends on the match with us next weekend.

This passionate fan goes ballistic as the minutes go on. Hilarious. More f***s than Nothings JT has ever managed.

I shall look for Tatlock and Jim O'Rourke to be living side by side in the remote Japanese countryside in, say, three years time...

Ha! That sounds like a plan. I know a nice place in Shirakawa-go. I too can play weird guitar (I.e. not play at all) and am pretty sure I’d make a good fist of ruining any record you point me at, so we’re bound to get on.

Dear Wilco.

Please book Augie March in support with a contractual ‘best of’ set list (contact me for detailed list). Then I will have to travel to Australia.

Ta,

Albert

Wow! I’m so glad you went there. You are travel specialist😉You may be traveling in Japan more than me.

Thank you. From Lake Akan to Ibusuki (plus the two sets of islands I mentioned last time). Overall just about our favourite country!

Kagawa in Shikoku island.

Been to Kotohira and Ritsurin garden but that is all on Shikoku. Yes the temples/trails there are famous and would love to do them. We have only done a couple of day walks in places like Mount Haguro, Koyasan and Yama-dera. We were going to walk that trail at Tsumago in March but the weather was too wet/cold for it to be enjoyable so we carried on the Hirayu Onsen - nice to be warm in the middle of the snow!

I'm glad you were able to see the cherry blossoms. Kinosaki Onsen is a very nice place. Why don't you come to Wilco's Japan tour?

It's a long long way for a couple of shows. I am not Bbop  We would go again sometime. If it coincided that would be great, but then we tend to stay outside Tokyo/Osaka. Don't like big cities and the Japanese countryside is so wonderful.  We have stayed in Tokyo for a few days to see the sights but last time did not stop there at all. Closest I have stayed to Osaka is Nara, though I was passing though Osaka in March and a couple of hours in the main railway station complex felt like hell on earth. Just like BladeRunner. It was probably an extra shock as we had just flown back to the mainland after being in Ishigaki/Miyakojima.

I’m sooooo happy!!!

Happy for you too!

Was in Japan in March for 3rd time. We were happy to see cherry blossom season for the first time in Kinosaki Onsen.

I hope so. Mind it'll be just like Wales to blow a gasket against Georgia

 LOL. The roller-coaster ride that is being Welsh . . .

Wales have a sizeable test v Fiji. The South Pacific lads are marvellous to watch

We made it by the skin of our teeth. Great match for the neutral too. I was encouraged by our display after the past year. Want to see Fiji get through though - they could well beat the Aussies.
