It happened when I saw her do an in-store last year. He was very humble and likeable. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECRrobr-a1I

From Googling 'Sukierae' just as a way of getting any recent news, this came up in the search results, which seems to confirm the 'Sue' part that I don't remember being explicit in the press release:- Can't get to places such as Instagram from work, but I imagine there would not be much point if it's private anyway.

First listening - not bad, not great. I hope the return of any bursts of 'weirdness' in sound is not just weirdness for its own sake. I hope it is not representative only in as much as I prefer albums with a large variety of sounds/styles, so would welcome this on the same album as a track that might sound like 'Open Mind'. Edit: It IS a grower ...

So with 20 TWEEDY songs they won't even be playing all of them on any given night what with the split between TWEEDY and JT solo.

Pretty obvious really ...

Tangential factoid Una Stubbs, one of the girls from Summer Holiday, is Sherlock's landlady. She was also Alf Garnet's daughter in Til Death Us Do Part, which inspired the Monkees' Randy Scouse Git (Alternatitle). She was always closely associated with Cliff as she acted in comedy sketches that formed segments of his TV shows.

Here's another I actually like:- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7i7ajweZXw In my teens my hair was a cross between this and Macca's.

Opening for Morrisey - you have got to be joking! That is bizarre. Well, my potted summary would be: the 'British Elvis', backed by a group called the Shadows who had instrumental hits of their own and influenced the Beatles ('Cry for a Shadow') and others - I think Hank Marvin had the first Fender Stratocaster in the UK. Anyway, back to Cliff. String of hits in the late 50s/early 60s as a sanitised rock'n'roller. Went into films too. 'Summer Holiday' I remember fondly as a kid. Mid to late 60s and 70s had his own TV show and went MOR. Kind of 'discovered' Olivia Newton John on his TV show a

"The Delines are led by vocalist Amy Boone (The Damnations), alongside the keyboard work of Jenny Conlee (The Decemberists) as well as fellow Portlanders Sean Oldham and songwriter/novelist Willy Vlautin (Richmond Fontaine) and on pedal steel, Tucker Jackson (Minus 5). Vlautin is no stranger to critical acclaim in the UK, enjoying cult success and stellar reviews from the like of Uncut, The Observer, The Times and Q Magazine as the frontman of Portland alt-country outfit Richmond Fontaine." http://thedelines.bandcamp.com Few performers can affect me as emotionally as Willy, and I like what

Do you pay up front with the pre-order? In which case jam today is much better than jam tomorrow from a cash flow point of view for Wilco Inc. Exciting times ...

If Tweedy Jnr is at college, will touring be restricted to coincide with the summer break? Early June seems a bit too soon for that compared to the UK so I hope he's not dropping out I suppose it's too much to hope for a late summer visit to Europe? - but not the last week of August please. Anyone know anything about the history of the other guys named in the band?

Staff Benda Bilili - there's agreat film about them you should check out. I used to liek Real Sounds of Africa back in the day, and the Bhundu Boys http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eksZrvhS36E My favourite African album would be this:-

Nice find. Not a Pavement fan (to the point of not knowing the song!) but enjoyed that. I have to say that I think I'd prefer to see a film of the working up of the new covers rather than a film of the actual performance - since unfortunately I have no memories to relive as not there at the time. A kind of 'Let It Be' without the tension. Ideally a double DVD release then - one of each - to keep everyone happy :-)

Apologies for the 'septic' assumption. Dave Allen brings back memories indeed.

I presume you've seen 'Marion and Geoff' - his breakthrough mini-monologue series. Good stuff. Not sure what they do with some of the British-specific mimicry that goes on in The Trip - I can't believe Ronnie Corbett or Frankie Howerd were ever big in the US! Perhaps that gets edited out when they repackage everything as a film. Not sure a film makes much sense though, as its a very gentle elongated journey best devoured in parts I think. Too much all in one go would get too much for me.

This may be releaed as a film to the US as this trailer implies. Here the last of 6 half hour episodes is showing now on BBC2. Some very funny stuff. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55OtglvtXuI

University in the UK in 1980-3, so there were a few of the likes of Elvs Costello and U2 doing the University circuit in those years - everyone who had broken through in the New Wave from '78 on. Suppose U2 might qualify as legends - though ever since Bono started wearing sunglasses they lost me. They came twice - first essentially a bar gig at the Student Union bar on a 'Boy' tour, second time the night 'War' went to number 1 in the UK album charts. They definitely had something right from the beginning, though they walked a fine line between charisma and twatishness.

If it happens please post a picture of the pillow fortress!

Shouldn't that be in the 'Is this our Louie B' thread? (Only kidding) And isn't 'Beatnik instructions' an oxymoron? :-)

Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich - The Legend of Xanadu or Split Enz - Six Months in a Leaky Boat

Indeed. There was also the Godley & Creme offshoot who had a few hits in the UK in the early 80s and also produced videos for others. I found out today that 10cc are playing an outdoor show at our local outdoor swimming pool in the summer, which is quite strange. No idea which members play under that name now. I seem to remember they lost a lot of money trying to develop a guitar/synth device back in the day.

Lunch/snack/drink here. it's all about the location ... http://www.sevenhillshotel.com/photogallery
