Everyone can watch it here:- http://www.hardlystrictlybluegrass.com/2014/webcast/fri-arrow.html Each artist gets to decide if they want to be included or not. The Aquabats said no (Boo!). Ryan Adams said no. Lucinda Williams said yes. No details of who said yes/no for the rest of the weekend. Everyone used to get pro filmed just for Warren's home videos, but that's been expanded out to the public more recently.

I hope TWEEDY are practising today, 'cos they've got a hard act to follow :-)

You too can now learn to sing the Welsh national anthem. https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/gwlad-gwlad!-national-anthem/id908469898?mt=8 http://www.llgc.org.uk/services/media-business/press-releases/gwlad-gwlad/

The weather forcast looks fabulous. I caught a good year when I was there many moons ago, but by 7pm there was a chill in the air, and it was definitely a bit nippy at 3am on the Sunday. Looks like no such problems this year. Dead jealous. (We've been having an Indian summer here too. Still in t-shirts.)

First episode of the new series last night. Very stylish. Like a 1920s Sin City, but better all round. Excellent soundtrack for Nick Cave/White Stripes/PJ Harvey fans.

Out of interest, looked at the Amazon.com site:- Amazon Best Sellers Rank: #49 in Music #1 in Music > Alternative Rock > Indie & Lo-Fi > Indie Rock #1 in Music > Indie Music > Rock > General #21 in Music > Rock

Couple of shots I had not seen before. One for the crotch addicts.

Very short Q&A in advance of the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival. Highlight: 'I always wanted to use a sticker that says, “It makes me want to kill myself. But in a good way.”' There's little need to read the atricle once you've read that. http://www.sfgate.com/music/popquiz/article/Pop-Quiz-Jeff-Tweedy-5778917.php?cmpid=hp-hc-entertainment

Something we knew already:- "Wilco's Jeff Tweedy Dislikes the Term 'Dad Rock'" http://www.spin.com/articles/jeff-tweedy-spencer-dad-rock-wilco/ Also, a bit more JT and Spencer http://www.esquire.com/blogs/culture/jeff-tweedy-interview

That first split second of JT deadpan in the sidecar cracked me up.

Really don't know where to start there - superb!

HazelThey cought (sic) you in the soil safe beneath the swarm Edit - CD version if it makes a difference. Makes me feel a bit less discriminated against by the vinlysts :-)

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04jmx7l Marvellous indeed. Also recommended from the past year:- The Fall Line of Duty series 2 Peaky Blinders

I noticed one too the other night - it wasn't that one but can't remember it now. Something like coud for could, that sort of thing. I may remember to look for it tonight.

Perhaps a bit more here:- "Jeff And Spencer Tweedy On Making Songs Together" http://www.npr.org/2014/09/25/349038144/jeff-and-spencer-tweedy-on-making-songs-together "Audio for this story from Morning Edition will be available at approximately 9:00 a.m. ET." - so I haven't listedn yet. Back to the general issue of the songwriting process. Whilst I find it very interesting, and am not complaining about the results, there is something I find a bit unsettling about all the discussion of word excersises, fitting words to sounds, etc. I can't believe it's happening for anything but a minori

A few interuptions, but I've got to the end now. Nice to hear some of the old style screaching on Only The Lord Knows
