Always good for laughs in our house.

It'd be nice if they did one of their Factory in Marrickville type smaller room shows like they did last time. That show was a blast.

Julie Christie as Bathsheba! I will indeed. Thank you.

A sunny spring Saturday morning in Sydney and all feels well with this: And then a little later in the afternoon there's nothing sweeter than:

One of my rock 'n' roll confessions: I'm 40 years old and I've never listened to this album until now. Saw it in the library today and borrowed it on a whim.

"Waging Heavy Peace" - I had no idea this was coming out. This is fantastic news!

Also remember listening a lot to Exile On Main Street on headphones as a teenager. Lots of great noises on "I Just Wanna See His Face".

Agreed! A lot of friends of mine got into it at the time, still talk of it highly. These are friends whose taste I normally very much admire (one's a comedy writer himself). But I've always found the show simply woeful.

I saw Moonrise Kingdom yesterday and it put me in the mood for the kind of music Wes Anderson has used previously. So...

I'll have to throw my lot in with Freaks and Geeks. Consistent throughout and just loved the Grateful Dead final episode.

Dirty Three. Changed me forever.

I posted this earlier in the Wilco Heard While You're Out & About Thread but thought I'd devote a new post to it as the photos show the Wilco Loft in its very early days. I heard an interview (just by chance) with an Australian singer named Sherry Rich yesterday on Radio National in Australia. She spoke about an album she has just released titled "Dakota Avenue" which was recorded in Wilco's loft between 1999 - 2001 (with a number of other Wilco folk playing on the record). She spoke very warmly of Jay. Photos from the sessions are here: http://www.sherryric...ails/index.html I t

Not so much hearing Wilco but hearing about Wilco. I heard an interview (just by chance) with an Australian singer named Sherry Rich yesterday on Radio National in Australia. She spoke about an album she has just released titled "Dakota Avenue" which was recorded in Wilco's loft between 1999 - 2001 (with a number of other Wilco folk playing on the record).

Ah, well then, this meant the world to me when I first heard it on headphones, listening to it in my room at night.

Not the "classic" line-up of earlier years but this is a wonderful record:

Next obvious thought - Dark Side of the Moon
