Tonight on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, The Roots played "Hoover Factory" for guest Tina Fey's intro.

One of her favourite songs, apparently. As if I could like Tina Fey any more.

Same feeling here in NYC. What a weekend in SF!

Living in NYC is not a legitimate excuse.

This is one of those weekends I am extremely irked at not living in the US.

I've been trying to find the relevant 30 ROCK clip, but it doesn't appear to be on YouTube.

Gee but it's great after being out late
Walking my baby back home....

I was very disappointed when I read this thread after the title and discovered Elvis didn't cover Mr. Pitiful or Respect.

I have seen some astonishingly hilarious websites devoted to this theory. Some of the 'evidence' used to back up the claims makes you wonder how the people who put it together managed to get out of bed in the morning.

Pre-sales are typically a selection drawn from throughout the venue, from the front to the back. Some areas have regulations stipulating that seats from throughout the venue be held back for the general public on sale, which is why you can usually snag great seats both in pre sale and on sale if you...

Any relation to 13 steps lead down (to the auditorium)? Does this suggest that four dates will not feature the wheel?

MOOT

The dates are occurring in 2013.

I understand the mixed feelings about many of Young's 80s albums, but Freedom came out in 1989.

YELLOW SUBMARINE is not terrible. Hey Bulldog and All Together Now alone would make it worth buying.

3D Sugarcanes? My word.

Best of fortunes to you as your documentary enters into distribution mode. Look forward to viewing it and to those elements that involve Buddy Miller. Thanks Jack. Buddy features throughout the film, as he does throughout Jim's life. My best archival find was a copy of Jim's barnstorming performanc...

I seem to remember tweeting you a comment that Steve Averill once told me he reckoned he 'hipped' Elvis to Jim. While talking to me about the EC sleeves he had designed, he got talking about a then ('10) recent Sugarcanes show. Mentioning Jim he said how he had , back in the 1990s, recommended some...

https://www.facebook.com/JimLauderdaleMovie/photos As some of you may be aware, I've spent the past two years toiling away on a documentary about the hardest working man in Americana music - Jim Lauderdale. The film follows a typical month in the life of the hardest working man in Americana music, a...

Have you got the Neil Young version from Bobfest on there?

The organisers of "Blues Fest 2012" seem to have ignored the possibility that anyone would want to watch the European Cup, and in particular the possibility (at least until last Sunday night) that England might feature in the semi finals. Anyone who chooses a football game over Nick Lowe ...

Probably Sulphur to Sugarcane. But I'm flexible.

I think an all phones off policy should be enforced at gigs. People have no problem doing it at movies, so why not concerts.

Hard to quantify the worst, but I suspect they mainly live in Western Australia. However, the best (and not necessarily in order): 20. Sarah Buxton 19. Roy Orbison 18. Rodney Crowell 17.

"Imperial Chocolate" Jackpot - Jeremy's Selection Pump It Up Peace, Love And Understanding Who's Jeremy, and how do "Pump It Up" and "PLU" fit into an "Imperial Chocolate" jackpot? Is it our J. Dylan? I don't think I was at this gig, but I've been on so many ...

Looking good, Jeremy. When are you coming to the Bay Area? Jim Lauderdale plays at Rancho Nicasio when he is in town. We need to "hook up"... I'm mean meet up if you ever make it to the Bay Area. You know, both being EC fans and all... Don't worry, I'm not THAT crazy... swear. I'll be in ...

I haven't found many details on Twitter so far: Elvis Costello opens with a favorite, I Hope You're Happy Now. Elvis Costello has covered most of my bitter girl playlist. #awesome And then we got Oliver's Army Jeremy Dylan's not tweeting? I turn my phone off during gigs, unlike many of the people s...
