A good book, I purchased the English version and found out the day after that it was available in Italian at half-price.Oh well...

Some additional info
The premier took place yesterday for drumeo members - but just 45 minutes of the two hours that will appear on youtube on the 18th
Nic Collins was also there.
There is a 100 page pdf for members with loads of additional info, including…

The songs you mentioned are indeed live staples, they gained that status through the audience's acceptance but with the exception of Throwing it all aways that has a clear sing along quality, the others could have been a toss-up, there was no…

makes me rather sad. Will of course wtach it, but I will always remember the energy he once had on stage. Now he can barely walk ...

I can see the point that Abacab would be the 'bravest thing.' At least in terms of the newer things they introduced in that album (gated reverb, shorter pop-oriented arrangements, horn section, songs based solely around loops, etc.). Although IMO it…

I think Abacab was brave because they had to have known a lot of what they were doing would alienate their current fan base, but they did it anyway. While I agree that Me and Sarah Jane and Dodo had a bit of a foot in the past pretty much everything…

I don't think anything they did was 'brave' but then it is a frequently misused and abused word in many contexts. I think everything they did was simply what they did, being the people they were.

They were still just over 3 years and only 2 albums since losing another key member, and those 2 albums clearly showed them in transition so by the…

makes sense to me - 13 from me also.
Thinking about it... the orchestral version is better. That might be what was missing ....

December sees me completing my 2024 tour of Manchester. By tomorrow I'll have been to 4 venues there, all new to me. First was new venue The Factory where I saw Bat For Lashes in the summer, then Laurie Anderson a few weeks back performing the final part…

Yes I have seen plenty (not too difficult, I live in Germany). We have also followed his solo career from the beginning and yes, he mainly plays clubs and theatres.
He did a Ray Wilson & Stiltskin only tour once (promoting the SHE album), where he…
