Xmas fever dream

Thanks - ended up watching it around 2.30. Awake since. Today is extremely weird. Time for a rewatch!

Anyone know what time the finale might magically appear on sky/nowtv tonight? 5 am is out but 2 or 3 might be feasible. I don't want this shit to end but don't want it spoiled neever, so would like to be there as it happens

The ferry has sailed with our cash and all quiet with the festival ticket refund front too but hey, I almost nearly got to participate in a pub quiz with Gibby Haynes - what have YOU done with your life!?

Ok as someone who has never heard Nevermind (apart from the hits, obvs) or delved any deeper than that into Americana (is that the genre?) - on first glance this would be way outside the comfort zone but fup me if the first track didn't grab me by the bollards! According to my napster player...

I remember being in London in Tower I think when this was just released - it was a BIG little album, if you get me. Here's my first (2nd) impressions, based on memory: 1 - Human Behaviour - 4:12 No messin', way different to Suga-cubes, solid opening gambit 2 - Crying - 4:51 - memories of this...

Fair play Dudley! For what it's worth, I don't care if you finish, or even participate in the racing contest - you've done a good thing. Hard to put into words but hope this makes things slightly easier for you and family Gary.

Jellyfish bloke writes one of the endorsements on the inner jacket of the recent Andy Partridge songwritey explainobook. Can we have an XTC album next? Don't think they were on my list but maybe for the 2017 generation

I think (on listening so far) if Rick Rubin got on board the Danzig fun-bus a bit earlier, The Cult wouldn't exist in 2016 and Danzig would not have released an album called "Skeletons" in 2015

Danzig - Danzig (1988) Talk Talk - Spirit Of Eden (1988) Hang on, which one came out first? One of these bands is seriously taking the plagiaristic piss outta the other

I'm literally listening to this now - not how expected the day to terminate when I woke up at 6am this morning

Worth a revisit
