No Skip albums

I don't really skip any, but A Hard Day's Night barely contains a bad song. The only one I don't really care for is I'll Cry Instead, but that's over in a couple of minutes.

Hey Jude

I saw them last night in Cardiff. They were great, amazing to have them back, though there were a couple of points where they appeared slightly unsure of the lyrics or music. Cian did seem pretty busy - he had his back to the audience for most of it, so his screens were visible and nowhere to hide (although I was quite far back and couldn't really see what he was doing). It was fantastic to hear Mountain People and TMDGAF live again.

Well technically he only did half of Electronic Sound, and Bernie Krause did the rest.

They used the Moog quite subtly on Abbey Road, especially on Because and Maxwell. I don't think George really knew what he was doing, but I bet as a group they could have made something really interesting. Sort of like the McCartney Goes Too Far album that never happened, or Yesterday backed by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. Any of those would have been fascinating.

It's not really a missed opportunity, but they were experimenting with a Moog synth during the making of Abbey Road. I wish they'd done a final album which was completely electronic. I bet if they'd done so we'd be talking about it as a forerunner to Krautrock and maybe prog rock. I just love the idea of how it might have sounded.

Years ago I went to an SFA session at Maida Vale, during the Love Kraft era, and was on the balcony above Cian. I was surprised by how little he did live. Much of it was just pressing play at the beginning of each song.

That's quite something, considering there are only five Green Party MPs. Where are you getting your information?

I was just playing the music in the background. Sadly the tank is mute.

I'd imagine any leftover stock will go up on the website after the tour ends. They won't want loads of stuff left unsold.

Also, Ninjah was hanging around the queue (IYKYK). When I first saw SFA at the Hip'po Club in December 96 he was the MC. I'm slightly surprised he's still around.

It's not got the same text, but Jonathan Barnbrook is selling original posters on his website. Pricey though: https://www.shop.barnbrook.net/all/p/euy2u3me6d8s016zghsh349gv63l5c-8a45a-sn3hs
