It all felt good knowing that George was involved with the project. The timing for me was exactly the same as when I was buying all the Beatles albums, and at that teenage age when whole conversations would quote Monty Python sketches. And speaking of Beatles parodies, this has it's moments. There are a few more bits on YouTube - a weekly segment a while back on Paul Whitehouses latest effort.

Indeed. As a big Emmylou fan it's a similar thing with the Gram/Emmylou story getting mentioned perennially 40 years on.

Bloody marvellous. If that was packaged up as a DVD I'd buy it.

Eagle Tribune - not a review but some words from Nels regarding making of the new one. "breadbasket" - nice. http://www.eagletribune.com/lifestyle/x2127773155/Wilco-lands-in-Boston-with-Whole-Love-tour

I always thought that was from Tuesdays with Morrie http://www.pinkmonkey.com/booknotes/monkeynotes/pmTuesdaysWithMorrie16.asp Only seen the film myself - bit of a tear jerker :-) ... Oh, and apart from lots of the obvious, I love the fact that it had an engineer who could not be trusted with the demo tapes ;-)

What's occurring on the 26th October?

Great result for Ireland against my tournament tip Australia (well not counting the obvious favourites). They finally turned the switch to 'on' after trudging with form the last year. If we can get out of the group that sets up a nice Ireland Wales quarter final - which means at least 1 northern hemisphere team in the semis. 4:30 am start tomorrow for Wales Samoa. It's going to be intense!

This should get you vinyl peeps salivating ... There's a glimpse of the insert artwork too.

Ha - my work is done!

Just noticed that the list of possible request songs is now much much bigger - perhaps it's now derived from the ex-wilcobase list of everything that's been played including covers. All sorts of weirdness there. E.g. Easter Bunny Ditty anyone?
