And why is the cover so important? I presume the whole issue isn’t dedicated to him.

That One is the rare version with an extra verse.

I bought their debut Parachutes when it came out and liked it very much. Then bought their 2nd and 3rd albums and after a while realised they were exactly the same as the first except not as good, so I left them […]

Saw him do that one also (albeit in 89)

Show that I saw, maybe he’s dropped it since, also includes Yesterday which it seems wasn’t played in his home city.

Yes, one can make time. I think main problem with me is that these days when I do find time then I fill it with something else. When I was younger I would get up in the morning and put a CD or a record on before […]

How are you able to decide that e,g, Cat Power is 35, rather than, say, 37? Surely the order becomes arbitrary after a relatively small no. of albums.

He’s been doing Hi HI Hi on this tour and also did Sing the changes for a number of years.

Need 80% to pass, some (not all) I could pass while listening to music!

Let Em In is awesome live.

I always hear the Beatles ripoff stuff aimed at him, but songs like Shakermaker, Supersonic, Slide Away, Cigarettes and Alcohol, Some Might Say, Morning Glory etc whether you like them or not, bear little or no […]

Great review. Being there is just indescribable, but you did a good job of almost doing that.

I have 2 fairly decent setups at home. One is a Pro-ject turntable (plus a Sony CD player) that is played through a vintage Sony receiver into large speakers, the other is a 5.1 system based on an Oppo Blu-ray […]

Ha ha, just finished 14(!) online training courses (with tests) that had to be completed before Christmas break.

It’s up at my ex’s place where I will spend Christmas Day (delivered it myself). Not sure whether I will bother at my place. In UK next week then after Christmas going to Toronto.

And it’s brilliant (Shelley sings chorus though)

I probably drive about 6 hours a week or so. Now finding that if my daughter is with me we are hearing her Spotify playlists rather than mine!

Not really fretting too much, has been a large part of my life, may not come back. Maybe I will find other interests? We’ll see.

Tweedy should be at least 97! Thanks, Yes, be careful what you wish for. I hope not to have a huge amount of time to listen for at least 10 years, but that is not always in our control.

I work in a lab too! Sometimes I listen to stuff, but I find that I need pretty good concentration and if one of my senses is blocked out then that goes away. Fine if I am doing routine stuff though.
