We managed to get 3 touted tickets for the Bristol show, and they were brilliant live. A bit of a shock for me as there are no guitars, but they carry it off really well. They take a lot of pride in their b-sides ( possibly due to lack of material ? ) which I also like.. It's far too easy these days for bands to put out crap as b-sides. > > > >I'm going through probably the laziest time ever regarding music..

Not as instant and doesn't really have the stand-out tracks that OPM had. I didn't like it all at first but after a week or so, I think it's better than the first one.

Not sure if that was the original b-side as I think my copy was a juke box single. Not really a Beatles fan at all.. I do like Revolver and Sgt Pepper but not over-arsed with the rest. I'm way too young to have been into them big-time.. We have a Beatles tribute band in Bristol called Sgt Pepper's Only Dartboard Band .. Top name !! Nope, I ain't doing Macca at Glasto. I'd love Rolf Harris to have been doing a stage at the same time.. He could have done Jake The Peg as a dedication to Macca's missus :-) "Ooooooooooh ..JET !!!" Err, I rather think not..
