Pretty disturbing stuff. He looks and dances like Ricky Gervais doing an impression of Robert Palmer. He sounds like Rod Stewart singing underwater.

...and the sax player looks like a young Jerry Seinfeld!

I don't think I can face watching it again to check. Errr

Great album (Brian Cox has never done anything better, that's for sure!), but they've been 'back' (if hardly prolific tourers) since 1998, caught them a couple of years ago (which you can read about, should you be sufficiently bored: http://uncle-unkool.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/gig-review-firefest-friday-2013.html).

I posted a link to that video about a month ago when someone said that 1990 was a bad year for music.

I'll never forget watching a bunch of southern fried hippies react as Sonic Youth and Social Distortion opened for Neil Young in Tampa as the first Gulf War was raging in 1991. So much distortion and striped pants and tattoos that the elders didn't know what to think.

I saw some great SY shows in the 90s and I miss them tremendously.

You sound like a Kool cat, Mr DB.

El Paso - Marty Robbins

A classic.

I've only driven through El Paso in the past, so this is a new airport to me. Looks like Mexico is 3 miles behind me. That probably explains the guy who drank out of the sink while washing his hands; there was a drinking fountain right outside the door.

I've just bought a couple of Kate Bush CDs for Lady Nogget, A Kick Inside and Hounds of Love. Why were her vocals so echoey? Particularly the first album, she's completely swamped in the stuff. It sounds like she was next door to the rest of the musicians.
