Best thing about that is the use of the word 'lunchables'.

Not much happening at work today, so I'm going in . . .

Walked past the Tardis on the Thames Embankment on the way to work this morning. Too early for any of the actors for the photo shoot though. Not sure about the new Doc from an actor/personality point of view yet, but I welcome a change of direction to a bit more thought and mystery rather than crash-bang-wallop and snogging the assistants - though Matt Smith was fantastic.

8 of 8 last night here. Gripping, thought provoking stuff.

Wilco working on demos later this week according to a report in German Musik Express, also a further project with Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig. http://www.musikexpress.de/news/meldungen/article623994/wilco-arbeiten-an-neuen-songs.html Translated from the German by Google:-

Also, interested in the note about the album opening with a short punk song. Personally I've never been convinced by JT as a punk (e.g. Student Load Stereo, Kicking Television), perhaps because even the punk music I like has strong tunes/melody and they seem lacking to me in what is usually a strong point for JT. But I do like the idea of that being on the same album as something like Wait For Love.

The precedent seems to be (unless Mods want to make a ruling) that the full text (with Author's name) is included as well as a prominent link to the original. Usually better to read there, but with some sources/links less permanent than others the text is here at Wilco Central Repository for posterity - or until the next board crash :-) Either way the source probably gets more publicity - I'd never heard of Grantland but have had a good look round since.

Thanks for that. For those who prefer to read the original it is here:- http://grantland.com/features/jeff-tweedy-wilco-sukierae-spencer-tweedy/ It is also worth saying that the 'random' numbers in the text above actually reveal little pop-up nuggets of info when clicked in the original. A few of them are interesting to read.

Still of this opinion.

I am enjoying it very much so far. Not for those who do not like (ancient) history though - as it is heavy on facts and there are a lot of individuals to get a handle on in the 50 years or so of intrigue and turmoil that followed the death of A the G. Very interesting for me as I have a grasp of general ancient Greek history, and then Roman, but this fills in the gap. For something perhaps a bit more readable but no less valid, I would recommend 2 excellent books by Tom Holland - Persian Fire & Crossing The Rubicon. I have one other about the years after the fall of the Roman Empire, but h

TWEEDY Ithaca 24th September. On sale this week. Get them while they're hot. http://www.syracuse.com/entertainment/index.ssf/2014/08/jeff_tweedy_of_wilco_to_play_state_theatre_of_ithaca_in_september.html

That's good news, especially to those who are unlikely to ever attend. Maybe it's release will be timed as advertising for the 2015 version. I remember there was a video clip of rehearsing one of the covers, but I forget which thread it was in.

Further confirmation that there was a film project in the offing that seems to have died a death. http://www.berkshirefinearts.com/07-02-2013_behind-the-scenes-with-wilco-at-mass-moca.htm

The boys are back.

The guru of disheveled - the late great Fred Dibnah Runner up: 60s and 70s TV presenter John Noakes, who set my style for a lifetime, supplemented by Mike Nesmith and Barry John.

I can vouch for it's awesomeness - for my trip some time ago made up of one third JT solo, one third glorious Emmylou, and one third wonderful hosts. Not to mention finally getting to see Gillian Welch & Dave Rawlings, Neko Case, Nick Lowe, Steve Earle, and some of the great bluegrass old timers. You should see Emmylou's traditional closing Sunday set, but if you are more tempted by some other favourite on another of the stages at that time, then don't miss her also traditional Sunday 9am soundcheck. Great memories . . . From the days when I used to help out with this UK website star

There's a very nice vibe to that. For me, best use of Lucius so far and possibly the song for which I prefer the album version most over the live versions I've heard so far.

Very nice. Interesting to hear some changes to arrangements as the songs evolve since the NYCTaper Mountain Jam show which is the only one I have been listening to.

I like disheveled (as long as it is natural not cultivated). I am a bit disheveled. I would be more if I could get away with it, but I'm mostly a weekend disheveller.

This one will have to wait for me until tomorrow morning. Hope to read what you think of it then (and if anyone mp3's it by then that would be a bonus ...) http://www.npr.org/2014/07/21/333724851/jeff-tweedy-live-in-concert-newport-folk-2014 "Diamond Light Pt. 1" "Flowering" "Summer Noon" "Honey Combed" (Feat.
