Some nice raw guitar for Nels, pulsating bass for John, some screaming for JT. Hardly obscure, but everyone must do a Beatles cover sometime surely ... Close second would be Paperback Writer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57jdgNKwdRs

Elvis Costello - Tokyo Storm Warning (though there's a humongous amount of lyrics to learn so that counts against it ever happening). Sound quality of this is not so good, and you could easily see how Wilco would make a much better job of the arrangement.

Bbop taught me a little trick with a bit of plastic tubing that keeps him at the top of his game, though sometimes i do feel guilty about ruining an innocent lady bystander's handbag.

I'm sorry to hear that - you seem particularly afflicted. Maybe this will help you and fellow sufferers on this thread.

Ta - to the website-meister and to WilcoMe

Ta. The Feb 2013 article 'discussing the new album' should be interesting too.

Very few for me (I'm picky). With the criteria being mostly that they should be played all the way through:- Beatles - Rubber Soul (on now) The Jam - All Mod Cons Elbow - Asleep In The Back Los Lobos - How Will The Wolf Survive Tindersticks - The Hungry Saw Sparklehorse - It's a Wonderful Life Augie March - Moo You Bloody Choir

It means it's less than 4 weeks to the Six Nations.

Nice Ian Dury anecdote starts at 3:20

That's very very sad. Music has few talents and fewer and fewer characters like Wilko. Characteristically brave way to go.

Also, only 800-odd views and added recently, so maybe people haven't seen this.

Watched this (of which this is a part) on iPlayer a few days later than the BBC broadcast it whilst on holiday and really enjoyed it. And what would New Year in eurolandia be without Boney M's Rivers of Babylon to see in the New Year. They still seem to be big on Boston's More Than A Feeling too.

As some have already said: Father John Misty - Fear Fun

Also, wondering if Clara Oswin etc. will be like South Park's Kenny - killed off in every episode then the Dr. finds her at some other point in space/time each week.

Some great LOL moments from the Xmas special. "A grenade" "automated laser monkeys" "A bit of a tree, a bit of a wife?" Schmaltzy stuff as usual whenever the Xmas special goes Victorian, but the Dr. is always welcome in our house. The Sontarans were always my favourite monster characters - since way back a lone stranded one I can remember from my childhood in 73 (when the storyline was a whole series of course), and the comedy Sontaran here was excellent.

Aaaagh Gordos ....

I'm a little rusty, but don't those lights spell 'Feck off Santa' in Gaelic?

Hang on to your nadgers! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSZ2by7M9NI

I have no idea what WBEZ 91.5 is or what time this show is broadcast, but some of you may be able to make more of this by following the link ... http://storify.com/WBEZ/afternoon-shift-212-time-for-change?awesm=sfy.co_cC1G&utm_medium=sfy.co-twitter&utm_campaign=&utm_content=storify-pingback&utm_source=direct-sfy.co

The report is here but apart from that paragraph there is alot less info than in a typical Bbop report http://www.startribune.com/entertainment/183735811.html

Ta muchly. Nice feel to that (as with the original of course). You're wrongier

If any YouTube appears would appreciate a link (none in a search I did right now). The online Colbert videos are not availabubble outside the US. 'Some people' on this board have said that I could pass for Colbert. I am not entirely sure that is a good thing.
