Robyn Hitchcock at the 04 Center, Austin, January 16!

First gig of the year, and first time to see Mr. Hitchcock outside the ISB bubble (2009 at the Barbican). I'm looking forward to learning more about him and listening to some of his material before the gig. It's never too late to catch up, I always say. The venue is new to me, as well. They have recently hosted several other performers of his vintage, so hopefully I've got a new favorite spot.

Tonight, 9pm 'til 11pm : Scattering The Roots with Dan Ogus...two hours of the finest folk, roots, blues, etc...plenty of etc...

I've been sifting through my cavernous vaults to bring you some excellent music both new and vintage every Wednesday evening from 9pm 'til 11pm.

Thanks, Jules - I hadn't spotted that!

He didn't so much co-write it as Nick realised that the record owed so much to the bass part that he decided to co-credit Andrew.

Sad loss. The Rumour were a great backing band  Graham Parker was nothing like as good without them.

Just seen this on YouTube, posted for Sandy's (79th!) birthday:

A live video recording of Rising for the Moon, filmed at Birmingham University on June 22 1974 by Guild TV (Birmingham University Film Club).

Sad to realise that 3 are no longer with us and Jerry is incapacitated.  Now be thankful DM and Peggy are still able to play (so well!)

Andrew Bodnar, bassist with (amongst others) The Rumour, he co-wrote "I love the Sound of Breaking Glass" with Nick Lowe, and was author of one my all-time favourite basslines - "Watching The Detectives".

How’re you doing Jim? As I recall, if you have a Pegg number of one, you have played with Dave Pegg. A Pegg number of two indicates that you’ve played with someone who’s played with him and so on and so forth. To quote: “Thus DP has Pegg #0, Simon Nicol and Ian Anderson #1, Cat Stevens #2 etc. The criteria here being that people should have played together, either on the same song recording (album track) or on the same live song”. Hence Peggy>Bruce Rowland>Bill Wyman>Mick Jagger means Mick has a Pegg number of four. Technically, I have a Pegg number since I’m on a track with Judy Dyble, but I didn’t make the list.

Roger Daltrey is listed as having a Pegg number of 3, but it should be 2. DM played on his solo album McVicar.

Eddie "Tan Tan" Thornton, jazz, reggae, ska, etc trumpeter, aged 94.  

Played live with Georgie Fame, Aswad and many other artistes, and appeared on countless recordings from Pere Ubu to The Beatles (Got to get you into my life).

Much better, if only on one arm at the moment, thanks Shane
