FourStrongWinds Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 well, like it or not Travis and Beverly Knight are the biggest names on the show, in the uk anyway oh and great avatar rich! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Synthesizer Patel Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Definitely... but that perhaps indicates the watcher they're aiming for! I think the show has been pretty rubbish for a good few years now. They do have a couple of good acts on per season, but 90% of it is no better than the stuff you see on T4 on a sunday morning. Also, when they do have good bands/artists on, in the past they used to put on great performances, now they just seem to put on pretty average ones. The vibe of the show is gone, is what I'm trying to say. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FourStrongWinds Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 i thought Arctic Monkeys were really awesome this week, the song he did on the Vox Organ was great, and i dont usually enjoy their stuff and Brian Ferry too, though that guy from the Hold Steady needs to calm down a bit i reckon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
misslaura Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Is this on BBC America? can it be seen in the states? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hixter Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Is this on BBC America? can it be seen in the states? It's usually available for download via torrent from places like UKNova. I'll be out of the country at the time and will have spotty Internet access, but I'll download and share if I can. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The vibe of the show is gone, is what I'm trying to say. i agree, for the most part. the last performer i made a point of tuning in for was cat power, and i was impressed (then again, it would take alot for me to not be ). what do you think about sessions at abbey road? i think it would be brilliant if the show had more consistency in terms of good artists. will definately be watching for wilco though!

baab Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Friends! I have lost all my puff in fast run back from house of Olsen (Olsen is away, but I have company there, but I will speak no more of it - for as we say in Sweden, "The hills have ears!") to make news info gush for all! It is from Sheffield friends who have the pulsing finger on activity in United Kinkdom. But I find that friends here already have news! All is happy already! It is fierce great coincide that Mr Jeff Tweedy is having late night with the Lady Julie Holland on the British television. Please friends, do not have the fear, Mr Jeff Tweedy has the pine love, but he is not of the Swedish way in all things! This is all reputable liaison. This is time of conference visit for me of which I already speak. So I can make back passage access if Mr Tony Margaritatime make the PM! This place of the Shepherds is good for me. They are of same good spirit all around world. I am sure to make friends there and have the stories to swap of the fierce randy nature on the cold nights, when all is whistle wild wind and wolf yelp in far distance (or is it something worse!). But to research mode at once! Mr Jeff Tweedy, you have some predictability in your love of the Abba now! Ha ha! I see through your plan like the delicate nightie of the young bride, all quiver tremble in anticipate! Your love for the Abba take you to this place on three count! Count number one! Lady Julie Holland had the marriage to Mr Glenn Tilbrook in group of Squeeze from past good times. This is the common knowledge for those with the nose for the music history. Mr Glenn Tilbrook is of the Abba! In concert he sing song of "Dancing Queen" (Liverpuddle, March 23 1998). Maybe Mr Jeff Tweedy plan something similar? Group of Squeeze were big group of time in Sweden. I had special dance for song of Cool For Cats (with hat containing the pork pie as was correct image at this time of Nutty Boys of England), and Professor from Stockholm tell me he always like it Up The Junction. Count number two. This studio of the British Television is at Wood Lane! Can there be more theraputrid place to make the musical experience? This is omen for sure! Maybe this should be the count number one, but I have not time for the paste and cut now to make rearrange. This research is stream of consciousness flow! Now is count number three. This studio has the very ghost spirit of the Abba in full strength! In December 1976 the Abba make special broadcast from this very place of Wood Lane! They are on show of Swap Shop and are standing all in canteen, where Mr Jeff Tweedy and Wilco boys will make tour after sound check for sure! Mr Jeff Tweedy, can you secrete canteen cup upon your person and send in special package to me. This would be treasure indeed for personal Abba museum located in spare bedroom. Plus extra knowledge - Wurzel boys were having appearance on very same show, so Mr Jeff Tweedy, you can take one piece of stone and make a murder of the two birds, as we say in Sweden. Here I present Pics, as I know all friends enjoy Pics more than my wordyness. Interview man is the Mr Keith Chegwin. He is nasty man, and has the strange glowing jumper as in you film of "Close Encounters of the Third Kind". Maybe he make the mashed potato model at home also. Here he try and make the muscle in on Lady Agnetha and invite her to share special jacuzzi in his hotel suite after end of recording. But Mr Bjorn is close by and tell this nasty man "Put down your cup and let us fight like men!". But Mr Keith Chegwin keep cup as sturdy defense and make hasty retreat with his legs either side of tail. My friends, always be careful of the Swedish man in defense of the Lady. They are like the cornered snow leopard ready to fight to death, even if it will cause tear to best dungarees, for dungarees can always be replaced friends, but manly honour is only one and cannot be found again. On 10 November 1979 tha Abba return for same show, but this time Mr Benny and Mr Bjorn are wise and Lady Agnetha and Lady Frida stay in hotel to avoid the pester. And Mt Keith Chegwin is forced has banishment to carpark Ha Ha! He is replaced by the Mr Noel Edmunds.Here is story in full for those friends with the interest:-http://www.abbaontv.com/1979/description-swap-shop1.html(Friends, if you have the research for footage of Abba girls jogging then please make PM. This would be dream for me for sure!) Here is another appearance example at this Wood Lane! It is the special interview on release of Abba The Movie for programme of Blue Peter. Mr Jeff Tweedy, please learn skill of handle the difficult question to make appeal for all via modern media approach. I think you have much to learn. Secret of success is to be at ease - as with Mr Benny wearing favourite fur boots, and to have the furry animal on hand. This animal can make the attraction to even those who are not of your music. And if there is extra hard question or you have a tie in your tongue, just make pat on head of animal and the "Goo goo" sound to avoid answer. And all still love you and make purchase of CD on strenght of animal love alone! This is useful tip! Beloved Mr Stig taught the Abba well from early stage! Here you can learn technique for defeat of all journalist.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDUexldLiY4 And this is not to mention all appearances on famous show of Top Of Pops!. Mr Jeff Tweedy, you will be in seven heavens for sure! I hope I can join with you in audience even if canteen sneeky peek is not possible for me. Please ask tour bus driver to leave gap on one side of allocated parking space so I can make the squeeze in with skidoo. If I have been of the schnapps time with other shepherdds nearby I promise I pay for repair of all paintwork! Mr Jeff Tweedy, enjoy canteen! Have the special beans on toast course to celebrate (there is no need to be stingy at this time, no?). Listen to ghostly spirit of the Abba, but try to ignore ghostly gold-top rattle of the Ernie Milkman who also haunt this place after success with Number One Smash. Welfare!

Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Check: http://www.bbc.co.uk/later/ Fri 11th MayTravis, Beverley Knight & Dizzee Rascal Fri 18th MayPatti Smith, The Cribs, Cold War Kids & Joe Cocker Fri 18th MayBloc Party, Wilco, LCD Soundsystem & Joan Armatrading It says Fri May 18th twice....I'm assuming they mean Fri May 25th. Back before my then 10-year old son D-man fried my computer's motherboard, I had the two performances from 2002 I think it was (War on War and I'm the Man Who loves you). Think anybody could hook me up with a mpeg or two and a coupla mp3 files of same said performances? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Welsh Rich Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 I remember that 2002 appearence... the first time I'd even see Wilco "live"... amazing stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Synthesizer Patel Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 what do you think about sessions at abbey road? i think it would be brilliant if the show had more consistency in terms of good artists. will definately be watching for wilco though! I never watched any of those shows because I never saw anyone listed that I'd be too bothered about hearing, but the idea sounded ok. Although I was never alive during it's height, I miss The Old Grey Whistle Test, because they made a real point of making the sound the most important thing - for example, they made The Wailers turn down their amps to about 1 (something they generally did to capture the best sound for tv) so that the end result would sound something like this: or this (for acoustic artists) May You Never If anyone can find a show that recorded sound better (when they were in the studio) than The Old Grey Whistle Test I'll give them a shiney pound coin!

Welsh Rich Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 The Abbey Road stuff was ok - most of the artists were shite though like bloody Jamariquaaaalyyyferrari fella and Snooze Patrol. Shame as I liked the idea of it and the filming and sound was nice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I missed them being on Jool's that time.... what was I doing??it's a good version of War On War, and it brings it home how much they've changed since then...assuming they'll do a couple of tracks off SBS, I wonder which 2. Walken (why is it spelt like that?) and maybe What Light??... On & On & On would be cool Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You could always try www.fromthebasement.tv , admittedly it's not a TV program that appears on your normal TV, but on the internets. Not seen it myself but it's supposed to be familiar in presentation to TOGWT in that there's no audience and it's performance only. However, it goes a step further by removing the presenter, so no more whispering Bob and no prog-rock infatuated snipes at the New York Dolls. Not quite the true barometer of top quality given that Icky Thump is a bit average, but this is what Jack White had to say about his appearance on the show: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Calexico Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 About time something decent was on this programme. I usually tape it cos I am in the pub and watch it later so I can fast forward thru the shite he usually has on there. Which this week will include Travis, Beverley Knight and the fucking awful Dizzee Bastard Rascal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
