Someone has a bash. Worth it for the line "Stage presence? They get upstaged by the signer for the deaf". Nice. http://www.michaelcorcoran.net/archives/2822?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=locked-in-a-cabin-with-wilco

Debut album due in a couple of weeks The Strypes - What A Shame. Its incredible the number of their musical heroes they have been playing with. The latest is Wilko J. http://www.mojo4music.com/4995/the-strypes-meet-dr-feelgood/

The "Hey Clarkey, get back on the smack yer fat bastard" cracked me up. Also this associated interview:- http://www.theguardian.com/music/2012/may/29/john-cooper-clarke-punk-poet-interview

Can't say his solo stuff is for me, but I appreciate him bringing a liitle bit of it to Wilco for an edge, and am thankfull that he gets to do it so as to exhaust his desires and not bring too much of it :-)

Recent BBC doc up on YouTube. Have a look before it gets taken down. Bloody marvellous. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFXOB1zBJ0k

Less romantic will they/won't they with the companion, more thoughtful solutions than action man plus sonic screwdriver, more appropriate age for River (though I hope they have dropped her). I will miss Matty though.

Marvellous to see here this lunchtime in Blighty http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-f2hHO6dkY4 Just Nels & a bit of Glenn for Bang Bang http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_AheSnN9nI

Wouldn't you - Frank might have sent some of 'the boys' round if they'd fouled up

Somethin' stupid :-

We were never close, but yes ... Welcome back.

Haven't they pandered to your taste enough already this tour?

Nice one - Ta. Quoted here to save it for posterity (or the next board crash) in case that link ever becomes invalid.

Someone managed to capture some of it on video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHKcSCCOuGo

Ditto for The Happy Busman's 'cookery' thread. Good time.

I've been enjoying it alot too. For a female in roughly the same genre, have also really liked Patti Griffin's album this year. Not much mention of it I could find here though, but has my personal stamp of approval. Very much enjoyed seeing her at an in-store a couple of months ago, with a guest spot from a very humble and likable Robert Plant.

Its possible to spend a huge amount of time at thepoke.co.uk - some hilarious stuff. That particular piece was doing the rounds here since the company headquarters of my company is in Glasgow. What with the current UK heatwave they are in danger of suffering a ginger extinction event. Meanwhile, from the 55 TV captions ... And this has some classics ... http://www.thepoke.co.uk/2013/05/06/50-brilliant-pub-chalkboards/

e.g. Some NSFW - but fine at my office :-) http://www.thepoke.co.uk/2013/06/14/25-reasons-why-we-love-scotland/

Just a snippet of Sloth

I think Froggie is in danger of bursting a bloodvessel when he reads this ...

It could be a useful ice-breaker on the current tour. JT: "So Bob, you remember than time on tour in England when someone called out 'Judas' after one of your songs? Well something similar happened to me the other day ...".

Thanks Scott Grrrr for locating the alternate source. There are few more beautiful exponents of the English language than a potty-mouthed Scouser. A veritable modern Falstaff.
