It seems Olivia Rodriguez hate chanting supreme court judges has no legal consequences, which seems oddly unbalanced.

The Guardian was impressed, although the review was largely gibberish. "The 1975 at Glastonbury review – amid the irony, ego and pints of Guinness, this is a world-class band Perhaps joking, or perhaps not, Matty Healy pronounces himself ‘the greatest songwriter of my generation’ – and that’s only a slightly ridiculous statement"

Mark and Lard? They used to be my soundtrack for going to sleep in the early 90s! You could hear people singing along to Neil Young's acoustic tracks.

Strangely they watched the music as if bludgeoned into silence, but there was a roar of appreciation and hand waving at the end of each song.

All those poor kids not realising they are being cunningly subverted into hearing proper music.

Performer diddled with for half an hour, then put into it's case for the first time in a long time (I had to repair the handle, and it's few outings in the last ten years have been in a jazz bass case).

One says 'Ban Flags'.

I'm sure it will match the description, just worrying that a business of the stature of Fender can't get the right pictures on an Amazon listing...

Checks date... nearer 50! We're getting old...

Anyone with half a brain shojld be able to see the L and N pins won't go fully home until the pencil is removed. No pearl clutching required.

It's a bit worrying that two of the three photos show a six-string Telecaster neck...

Let me fix that for you 😁

Strange how some people keep their voice - Neil Young for one but Arthur Brown is another.

I wouldn't normally post anything off TB here, but this comment on someone's TE acquisition is too good not to quote: "my other equipment has started to orbit it it's so heavy"

Finally found Gary Numan's set. Bloody awesome. Sound issues I read about seem to have been addressed with a bit of post-production.

Peter Capaldi had a great time with Franz Ferdinand, and they seemed to be doing a good job too: https://fb.watch/Ax75cP1lNG/

He's not a plumber, he goes round fixing people's drives.

After yesterday, rumour has it that Robert Peston is just Jarvis Cocker doing a John Fogerty impression.

Not much I hope! They are what's originally fitted.

The Ep[iphone T-bird is nice, but I've got the set neck Embassy and that makes all the same noises IMHO.

Loving it. It gets new Fender nickel plated strings this week.

I cheekily put out a press release for our next gig. On friday a mate had two people tell him they'd read a good band was on next week

I read that as 'Stormy'...

Yes!

I've seen that bird-decorated organ descend before. I think it may have featured in the Live Rust film. It was battered enough to be the same prop, even if the instrument inside has changed.
