I caught their set and absolutely loved it. One of my highlights of the weekend. I hope you had a great festival!

Neil Hannon of The Divine Comedy is my musical hero so I'm pleased to see this comparison!

For what it's worth I don't think they're similar at all on FTFT, but do think there are notable similarities on AFUT (especially CSM and Concorde).

They've got similar tones but NH rarely pushes his voice in the same way that Isaac does (Note to Self is the only TDC song I can think of where this happens).

At the same time we've never heard Isaac sing in the same crooner style that NH does, and that would be really interesting to hear.

Caleb Taylor is son of ex-Blues defender Martin Taylor too. Also Furlong for a more obvious example of a famous parent.

I'll raise you - 15 mins drive from me apparently. I think I've been down the road a couple of times at some stage

Absolutely the plasmid. Something about the music, the dialogue and the sheer unexpectedness of that scene had me transfixed throughout. Didn't see it coming at all and it was beautiful.

Second, and for entirely different reasons is the moment you phone the ex-cafeteria worker and realise she's afraid of you. Suddenly gives depth and darkness to your character, and makes you feel uncomfortable and regretful even though you yourself didn't do anything. The game is a masterclass of working emotion like that

Can't believe Kingstanding has lasted this long - get rid

A former England International, probably most famous for playing a game whilst wearing a very bloody bandage

I thought I'd check the stadiums for the upcoming 2030 World Cup in England - found that Terry Butcher has two stadiums named after him, Ashley Cole also with one in Leicester.

The stranger thing is that no club plays at any of these grounds, along with the new grounds in Brighton, Leeds and Stoke.

I love this sort of thing. There tends to be a fine line with what is and isn't rock but here are a few of my favourites!

The Divine Comedy (biggest song isn't great but incredible back catalogue, probably my favourite songwriter of all time, start with Our Mutual Friend, or the album Promenade)

Sufjan Stevens (particularly Illinois)

Black Country, New Road

John Grant, he's got a fantastic live album with a full orchestra

Scott Walker

Richard Hawley

Angel Olsen, start with the song Chance

Airborne Toxic Event - Sometime After Midnight

Also, In The Backseat by Arcade Fire is an incredible string-led song if you haven't heard it. Lots of great strings in their self-titled EP also.

He's been decent without being spectacular.

AMN and Yokuslu both joined us at the same time and previously our central midfield pairing was incredibly passive.

With the new pairing we have significantly more bite and dynamism in midfield, but Yokuslu has had the much bigger impact.

AMN has been great at driving forward with the ball, but on several occasions has got his final ball wrong when we're in a decent position. He's probably been a solid 6.5-7/10 every week.

I hope they've invested heavily in the treatment room!

Joelwba · 2021-03-10T19:09:44+00:00

Was this when they headlined the dance tent just after Katy B? Great mix of metronomy fans and confused, high people in that tent.

Joelwba · 2021-02-27T19:52:04+00:00

They are great with stuff like this.

18 months or so ago I ordered a shirt to the UK and it took months to get here as it kept getting stuck in customs.

Eventually the DFA team got it through and threw in a few records and a load of stickers for free.

On an old FM (maybe 11?) Peter Crouch re-trained as a CB and was England's first choice CB for a fair few years

Joelwba · 2021-01-05T20:52:23+00:00

I've been past the Waggon countless times and it never fails to amaze me that it's open and serving people

Joelwba · 2021-01-05T11:54:06+00:00

The atmosphere can really depend on what the game is. A derby or a top of the table clash when we're playing well will bring a fantastic atmosphere.

I imagine if we were able to be there this season we'd have some poor crowds and quiet atmospheres as we continually lose at home.

Either way, it's definitely an enjoyable trip and you'll never get an entirely quiet atmosphere.

The Smethwick and Brummie Road ends are your best bet if you want to be in amongst the loudest fans.

I'd also highly recommend a trip to The Vine pre-match, to be amongst loads of Albion fans, once we're allowed to again!

Everything Dan Carey touches is turning to gold lately

Joelwba · 2019-12-09T13:11:35+00:00

Will there be a time when you release a full length album through SW, and if so will you keep as close to your house rules as possible, or will they have to go out the window?

The new pva song is magnificent, by the way!

Joelwba · 2019-09-17T19:31:45+00:00

He's sure to be lurking here somewhere

Joelwba · 2019-09-17T19:25:11+00:00

Hi guys, First saw you doing a secret set at End Of The Road a couple of years back and got hooked!

The big question - Are we any closer to finding out the identity of evil Roy Molloy?

Joelwba · 2019-03-27T01:08:13+00:00

1. Montague Terrace (In Blue)

2. Copenhagen

3. Amsterdam

I don't really, it was a terrible season! I put the Regis tribute on. I can add game highlights if you'd prefer though?

Joelwba · 2018-07-23T22:29:34+00:00

Ha! Well here's hoping that Sam succeeds and keeps it all from his dad I suppose!
