Cliff’s Wuthering Heights. Watched it five times, still transfixed. 😳

The Brits through the ’90s were a big part of the musical landscape — remember watching the Jarvis/Jacko moment live. Generally passes me by now. Only noticed this year because of Noel’s Songwriter Of The Year award and Brian Cannon’s Piccadilly Station pop-up in celebration. Have a great night, when you go.

Liam’s Everything’s Electric — great tune, great performance.

Million-dollar question: do certain songs in the set, result in certain sweet choices? 🤔

You'd have to ask Cromi about sweet choices, I've never requested them but I will eat and drink anything in front of me. I too have now watched that Cliff video many, many times

I think about chord progressions sometimes & always find it too much to keep in my head. It's weird and frustrating – "it's keys, it's sharps and flats, I know this stuff!" – but after a while it just wears my brain out. I didn't last very long with that Larry Goldings video, but it was nice to see that even he was struggling to hold it all together some of the time. (But come on, going V back to I in B, then A, then A flat minor – F#/A#/C# to B/D#/F# to E/G#/B to A/C#/E to (in effect) D#/A#/C# to G#/B/D# – who writes like that? A daytime-radio soft-rocker, apparently. Shades of Simon Dupree and the Big Sound.)

Simon Dupree is a good shout, the Shulmans were very well schooled musicians. I think what's so impressive about Chicago is you don't know it's clever unless you're told

Prawn cocktail crisps? Macca won't even take a sip of water! 😉

I know the Muppet related content was minimal but it triggered this question: have you watched the new episode and, if so, what you think/feel about it?

I did write about it the other week as I obviously share my life on here but to summarise it in a shorter form- Kermit's voice is difficult to stomach but the spirit of the whole endeavour is true to the 70s blueprint

Sorry to have missed that. Truly. I'll go back. But me and Eli agree 100%. It's not even close to what Kermit should sound like.
