Quite right.

If only everyone had that sort of common sense.

Thanks. I love the Staples and all things Stax. Saw Martha live just a few years ago at Womad. Have seen Wilco with Lord Bragg and while they should be spot on for me, I never quite tuned into them. But I do like the wooze of this track and could do with hearing more of their output:

Interesting collection of songs. Thanks! I'd never heard the Breeders version. I met Kim Deal at a show in the UK years ago and she told me that she was a big fan of The Who and Cheap Trick.

Have you heard Petra Haden's a cappella version of Sell Out? It's pretty amazing. I saw her perform it in L.A. years ago.

I love that song, too, especially in a live setting. My friend plays the guitar solo on that track, so I guess I'm biased.

They released a surprise new album a few weeks ago. It's called Star Wars and it's a bit shorter and more rocking than recent releases. It was available for free for a few weeks, but I think that time has passed. They performed the whole thing at the Pitchfork festival the next day:

Love that song...in fact Sky Blue Sky is my favourite Wilco album and Side With The Seeds is my favourite song on it.

I thought that they'd played Side with the Seeds on the Chicago edition of the Burn to Shine DVD series and was going to post the link, but it turns out that they'd actually played Muzzle of Bees. Anyway, here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QSK6Jh47K4

Burn to Shine was an interesting project where Fugazi's Brendan Canty would film a bunch of local bands in a house that was due to be demolished. The building's destruction closed out the end of the DVD.

Interesting.

Beaky adds a bit of class to our music threads. We have to stop that immediately! :D

Didn't know about this.

This is just to say thanks to Sarah on what has been a bloody awful day. Neither lyric is at all appropriate but it's the sentiment that counts. Two lessons today: 1. Every genuinely caring policewoman needs recognition and 2. Decent policewomen are worth their weight in gold:

From the Mystery Man who will always be a Mystery Man but not much of a Mystery Man. xxx :)

(Thanks also to Cathrine and the lovely young woman in Chaldon - it's been women's day again which is a blessed relief and an uplift given all the ice in 2015 - onwards and...erm....upwards)

It's been a decade, but I think she was recovering from an accident and Mike Watt gave her an 8-track recorder and she recreated the entire album using only her voice. Pete Townshend loved it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petra_Haden_Sings:_The_Who_Sell_Out

EDIT: She's one of the triplet daughters of jazz great Charlie Haden.

Thanks. Listening now.

Met Mike Watt briefly last year when he was in the UK promoting Tamatebako.

He's quite a character. Looks like he's touring Europe behind the same album in about a week.
