"Last week the band said it was dropping the price of thousands of premium seats – "flexing" in industry parlance – rather than play to half-empty arenas. The situation was so dire, one insider revealed, that the band's own allotment of tickets was released because of a lack of requests." http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2013/may/04/rolling-stones-face-pay-cut-ticket-prices-slashed

Last week not bad, and finally an enjoyable one. Hurrah!

The love affair continues. Trying to get my niece into them, will be interesting to see what she makes of it, being their age but not really having been exposed to proper r'n'b before.

+1 for Waterloo

Somewhere on the west coast - don't know: wasn't there :-)But I do have fine memories of a particular west coast burrito purveyor myself ...

Nice. Thanks. What is it with this music? I wouldn't be interested in this sort of analysis for anyone else. The Beatles music is just in my DNA somehow ever since they became the first band I got into in my teenage years. Lucky choice :-)

Bugger. Lawnmover sales plummet. My own favourite

Would be good to hear "Australia's most notorious fan" called out :-) They have the setlist with the timings shown in the page, so it would lead me to believe that they may have broadcast the whole thing at some point? It must be out there ...

Link to the interview here:- http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/liveset/wilco-live-in-melbourne/4643484 Listening now ...

A high energy half hour set at Record Store Day at 4pm. At 8pm Paul Weller is on and the Strypes are backing him - which shows what he thinks of them. Unfortunately could not stay in town for that and had missed out on the required wristband anyway, but really glad I caught the Strypes. A quick meet and greet afterwards - nice lads I'm glad to say. Christ Difford was there too - he's working with them in some capacity.

Personally never seen this before. Some lovely moments. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6zGgF2QPdo

I remembered seeing this in 2005. The whole thing's a no brainer surely when this sort of thing can happen, plus they get free crazy price tickets ... http://dannymiller.typepad.com/blog/2005/11/you_cant_always.html

Really pleasant listen now spring is in the air.

Edit - from the name of the media file account, could this be the work of a certain BeShakey here?

A recovery of sorts and I do like most of the things Gatiss does (especially lots of radio stuff here), but somehow I'm still not feeling it like I was over the past 18 months. BTW forAnalogman - there was a new one off Jonathan Creek for Easter weekend that was well received. Have not seen it myself yet.

N.B. That media fire link was set up by the blogger, so I can't vouch for it. I haven't downloaded or listened to it myself. Time to sleep now. http://this-was-now.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/wilco-26-march-2013-rrr-radio.html

And the current single (this one they wrote themselves)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOXxWYkgbkc They're just tearing it up on the middle track of this three. On Jools Holland this week ... the momentum is growing. Free Record Store Day gig a week Saturday - I'll be there with bells on.
