Walt Whitman's Chicken There used to be several threads like this, though with more liberal rules. Who remembers the Russian/soviet thread? I think the best I came up with was "Someday Some Morning Smolensk" and "When You Wake Up Feeling Olga", but someone came up with the marvellous "What's the GUM Got in Store"

Puntastic Kicking Chicken (Live in Chicago) (tied with the simple but strangely rib-tickling Wilco (The Chicken) ) One Sunday Morning (Song for Jane Smiley's Chicken)

I say it periodically, but JT really needs to do a job on Emmylou.

That must be one happy guitar tech at the moment ... Australia are trouncing the Pommies. Not a massive cricket fan, but I am a fan of the great BBC commentary team ... especially the late great Brian Johnston http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsVTpX7LdZQ Back on track - thanks for some great reporting.

It's a sad dash for cash, but let them get on with it ... Meanwhile ... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/comedy/comedy-news/10463439/Monty-Python-reunion-10-things-you-didnt-know.html

Background sound of Black Moon on different episode of same show.

The trailer we got afterwards was for the next lot of Sherlock Holmes. My recent favourite Brit TV series: Peaky Blinders, Fresh Meat, Toast of London

Yes. A fav since Message To My Girl. Probably won't get it too soon though so please report on how you find it.

That was enjoyable. Got worried at the start with the Tardis on a helicopter segment, but it turned into a memorable episode worthy of the anniversary. And: TOM BAKER!

Watched Gatiss's An Adventure In Time And Space - behind the scenes of the early days featuring female producer Verity Lambert and William Hartnell. Really well made with period atmosphere and some nice touches.

Wow, the first VCer I ever met close up and personal. The Astoria in 2004, so ALTWSS was indeed alot like that video.

Aimee Mann - Union Chapel, one of London's cosiest little venues. She was there last night too, but it's too early for the internet to ahve any reviews it seems. There are some pictures of her in hotpants and fishnets. Not her best look and not appropriate for church :-)

Toast of London New comedy series - pretty good.

About 15 instrumental seconds of One Sunday Morning during the first of the latest (third) series of Fresh Meat http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fresh_Meat_(TV_series) One of my favourite current comedy series.

Da iawn, Howdjadoo bach.

Almost all week the Beeb has had Macca's recent hour long Maida Vale show on repeat on one of its digital channels. its a nice set, and for once the new songs stand up none too shabbily. I applied to get a free ticket two or three weeks ago (just as I often do with Later With Jools', but no joy.

Good man. I have to say that I was a bit dissappointed with the album - 5 or so excellent tracks and then some of their other new material lets them down a bit after the quality of the covers that they had made their own live. Still, they've got time on their side. However, anyone who gets the chance should see them live for an old school rock and roll experience and fantastic guitar\bass\harmonica playing. A really really great time.

Maybe its this one:- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfKARbdtwck The fun starts at about the 1:30 mark ...
