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/

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.

Still looking back at TWL. no revelations but there you are ... http://www.citybeat.com/cincinnati/article-28105-as_a_whole.html

That Friday night covers set has been proving very useful hasn't it Just need to give Bob afew more days to brush up on his Abba lyrics.

Congrats LouieB. I remember Rosie (and WildMercurySound her best UK buddy) and I also remember when there was almost a kind of race to get to 1000 posts and then they got worried that their count might be reset to zero once they got through that threshold like a mileometer on a car. Funny. There was a whole lot more creativity and fun craziness (but also at times nastiness) in those days. As well as falling out of love with Wilco etc., I think that people have moved on to Facebook, Twitter and blogging etc to express themselves more individually and with more immediacy. They thus feel less

As a Stones fan (with the usual pre-1980 caviat) but someone who has regarded them as being uniformly dire live for a similar number of decades, I found their performance pleasantly surprising, in that it was vaguely acceptable, but certainly not the 'triumph' being trumpeted in the media. 2000 Light Years From Home was shambolic. Mick was pretty energetic, so all those monkey glands etc. must work. I did enjoy seeing Charlie actually smiling a few times. Most telling vignettes from the coverage I saw: (1) After Elvis Costello played Tramp The Dirt Down there was hardly a murmer of applause.

Electric Soft Parade - Idiots Nice summer sound - Delays meets Crowded House sort of, but quality does fade after the first third

Not that I was there, and not that its a good thing or a bad thing (though no doubt you'll feel bad thing), but these people do exist - I am one! Theres a whole ton of stuff that i never got to hear at the time and have never felt the need to explore - either through them appearing at a time when i was not listening to too much music, or sticking to other genres, or that felt too American suburban in its zeitgeist for me to relate too - much as The Jam seemed to resonate perfectly with me here when not so much in the US. In that list i would include The Replacements, Pavement, The Pixies, Pear

Some sort of interview going on that may surface sometime ... Aah the rug ... Always a problem to get it through customs to Europe it seems ... If this is the 'Loft installation' thing, it doesn't quite put across the crowded/chaotic nature of the real place does it

To Wilco and to Dan Lynch, those across the pond salute you ...

Some footage emerging. Pretty good quality. ROADRUNNER! And to answer my question from above, yes it did get the classic intro, though that was restarted :-) Do I remember someone saying that Miss Y would be there? JoJo lovers rejoice ... Bird Can Sing take 2 Waterloo Sunset Peace Love and Understanding Fear The Reaper Others from same YouTube user can be found there but those are my favs

So many questions... e.g. Roadrunner [The Modern Lovers] - did it get the classic count in? Any members of the band having obvious joyous moments on particular songs that might have been favorites of theirs? I can imagine Pat would have got into the spirit of a few songs ... Any points where anyone obviously found part of a particular song challenging? Probably they're too good to have that problem. Banter corner? Thanks for all the feedback from those attending.

This is strange (same photo too):- http://www.chicagomag.com/Chicago-Magazine/C-Notes/June-2013/Letter-To-Tweedy/

You mean you're in shock that JT let a 'wardrobe stylist' anywhere near him. I am.
