Fascinating and not at all hung-ho. He’s an engaging down to earth storyteller. . Also . . . As they say, play loud.

Ta. For me it was a pleasant evening half-watching the Jocks getting spanked by the Jerries. Just can’t get enough Karma for Joe Jordan’s hand ball, that’s what I say.

Ta. Is it wrong that I know what the Bronze Fonz is without googling?

When The Roses Bloom Again Someday, Some Morning, Sometime Gun Some nice choices there. Still sending psychic waves for The Unwelcome Guest tomorrow though. Ta.

Friday Night Dinner 9 years of series that I missed but can now binge at my leisure excellent stuff - situation comedy with well choreographed farce at times. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YcFkNYA5hps The last few seconds of this above had me in stitches last night. Makes me wish I had a brother, ha!

I have taught you well, young grasshopper.

"In May 2021, Rousay went on a five-day trip and came back to a completely empty house. Burglars had taken everything: $20,000 worth of music gear, couch, passport, bed. Even the toilet seat. A GoFundMe was posted to help her recoup, raising more than $33,000. Soon after, a mysterious box bigger than her car showed up at the friend’s house where Rousay was staying. It was filled with instruments and equipment, including a full drum set and a $5,500 archtop guitar, courtesy of Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy, a fan of her work who had heard about her misfortune. “I did not know him, but he really helped me

Still no The Unwelcome Guest though . . . Ta

I think Bbop deserves his own hand-picked setlist show, with the man himself being in attendance reclining on a red velvet chaise longue at the side of the stage being fed grapes by a specially flown in Matrix. The lie/stand debate will be settled at his own discretion.

I think you're making an unseemly display of your geographical advantage. Wait until I have you on home ground again. Alternatively, errr .. . . yes. P.S. I also have to admit a grudging admiration for your thinking outside the box by splitting the T and A ( no pun intended), though really it’s not cricket and I will stick to the accepted rules henceforth.

Can’t remember doing so but you’re probably less senile than I. I have been there though. Not a big fan of LA. At least that place has some history.

That looks more like a slight graze with a bit of itching. I would guess attendees would want an amputation.

The Unwelcome Guest and Let Me Come Home (in absentia).

I also think there's an element of feeding an addiction in the current trend for reissues/bonus content/enhanced packaging. There are rules about such things in the UK betting industry for example. For those with more money than sense then no problem, but I wonder if there are less well off completist fans of different bands who buy stuff they really shouldn't be spending their money on. I don't see why there could not just be separate EP releases for the actual new material.

"This package collects the original album plus three LP sides of bonus material. The bonus tracks appeared on companion single and EP releases at the time, tracks pulled from 2011 radio live-in-studio recordings, plus a couple of unreleased tracks from early in the sessions. Everything is packaged in a beautiful box." HTH There seems to be a lot of vinyl chauvinism about these days. How would I get to buy this as a CD kind of person? Luckily at more than 70 quid and without much new meat I can let it pass without getting hot and bothered. I love Sometimes It Happens. The
