Thanks for pinning that. Illuminating, although I wish they’d said more about the musical influences on every song, not just the storylines.
Outstanding, but sounds even better in live recordings than on Trespass.
Has anyone else discovered this amazing album?
Basically, in 2018 a duo aged 19 and 21 have written their own Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, skillfully combining the sound of all the great groups from the 60s & 70s with some Broadway musicals thrown in. There’s plenty here to appeal to Genesis fans including some very Hackettesque guitar in “Never know”, Trespass-era Genesis sandwiched in a melodramatic Broadway waltz in “Born wrong”, & in parts it’s quite proggy. Hard to pick a best track, but it’s probably “The Bully”, a bossa nova with sunny Beach Boy vocals telling a violently comic backstory, intercut with a marching band.
Like The Lamb, it’s best listened to as a whole but individual tracks stand up on their own, plus spotting the musical influences on each song is fun. You’ll either love it or hate it but you’ve got to admire their sheer ingenuity and chutzpah.
Your advice to avoid The Mash Report like the plague has made me want to seek it out specially! No reflection on you, I hasten to add. But I'm sure I'm not alone in hearing someone say to avoid a show and thinking, I'll have to give it a go.
Dr Who was good. I had to watch it alone for the very reason you gave, as Mrs Backdrifter is so intensely arachnophobic she can barely bring herself to even say the word "spider" let alone see one.
Oops, I’ll stop
mentioning programmes I don’t like if it gives them undeserved publicity! 
I thought the
most off-putting thing about this Dr Who episode wasn’t the spiders or even the
trigger-happy Trump wannabe, it was the ear-splitting burst of grime towards the end.
The Mash Report
on BBC2. Possibly the most nauseatingly smug, preachy “comedy” show I’ve ever
had the misfortune to watch some of before switching over. Avoid it like the
plague!
Dr Who "Arachnids in the UK" episode on BBC1 earlier wasn't bad though, although probably unwatchable for anyone who hates spiders.
I thought Gary made a great contribution as both a drummer and a vocalist. I was sorry to learn he was leaving.
Same here! He had
such long experience with the band too. Hope they can get a worthy replacement up
to speed in time for the next tour but it’ll be difficult

Never heard of
the Lemon Twigs, a band of teenage brothers until they were on Later with Jools Holland on TV last
week, but "Tailor Made" is a terrific earworm! 
He is generally brilliant, a great actor who can be very funny but I've also seen him in quite menacing roles.
Did he play the Tramp Catcher in the very funny Royal Wedding episode of The Windsors (ITV sitcom)?
Favourite Genesis album although I hadn’t played it for a few months, but the lure of seeing the whole album played live persuaded me to get tickets for Steve Hackett’s next tour.
Wahaay! You finally made it on board.
But to answer your question, no, not me, sorry!
Thanks - it’s been
a long, long time... hasn’t it?
Anyway, there are still some
seats in the side stalls on sale so I’m tempted to get a couple; that leaves 13
months to find someone who wants to come!
Is anyone here going to the Manchester show (26 Nov 2019)?
