Didn't seem to disappoint their fans though. The Live bit was them participating in the Comments as it was streaming. And it's a Premiere supposedly.

Bands can't really play together now and maintain the social distancing thing, so the real live streams tend to be solo artists/performances.

Slow Readers Club did a thing yesterday where they all streamed live from their different homes simultaneously, did a Q & A with fans, premiered a vid, and played some songs, recording their separate parts in their own homes beforehand, then mixed them together on screen. Worked pretty well. Their debut album just got into the Top 10.

I think the National's "Fake Empire" is their most memorable. Around the time of its release I often played it alongside Band of Horses's "Detlef Schrempf". Don't know why other than it seemed to work as a natural segway of sorts.

Not quite sure what to think of the bands and social distancing thing. You might have thought that there is scope for an entirely new exciting genre to emerge in such novel circumstances but my mind is a bit of a blank on that one. The best I can come up with there is a take up on what Kirsty MacColl often tried to do which was to multi-layer her voice so as to be a kind of Beach Boys. Maybe that's it. Solo artists sounding like a band but in a wider variety of ways than voice.

Thanks. It's definitely the Hairy Cornflake. Hugo is a delight. I too love Round The Horne. It is one of my favourites. I had a dream last night that Stephanie de Sykes was the grandmother of Eric Sykes. I wonder if she ever was? Say, in the 70s?

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!
Ventriloquist dummies always creepy.
Archie Andrews was ok ,you couldn't see him.

I am a mine of finds......and I live in a hole. No. That's not quite right, is it. An early Xmas robin must have flown across my wavelengths during the pink moon. Yes. D-Ream was Blair and more significantly the vision of Prescott and Mandelson boogieing as the full force of swings in the marginals sank in. Just after that, a note arrived in our offices to say that the Prime Minister wanted to be called Tony, the Deputy Prime Minister wanted to be called Deputy Prime Minister and Mr Mandelson was a very important man so please try not to call him at all. In fact, that was an instruction. Not that in my junior capacity I got close to any of them other than in the canteen where DPM chomped regularly.

John Prine who I saw live at Glastonbury in 1993 had been unwell for a very long time. It is not so surprising he has gone. But I share the sadness of DaButt who has posted comments on a different thread. A great artist in my humble opinion.
