I just googled Double Neck Keytar and there is a whole slightly worrying world out there.

Sweet baby Jesus :eek:






Hope this helps wipe the bad pictures from our memory.

I love how BBC play John Denver - Annie's Song on a show about love songs even though he tried to strangle her and cut the bed in half with a chainsaw

Jaysus - someone give Andrew Weatherall a call.

Right - that's it till the hipping and the hopping later.

That reminds of a Simpsons episode feat. Bill Cosby and Bleedin' Gums Murphy.

I have a few friends that not only followed Rush on tours but occasionally still have Rush quiz nights. A couple of them have played professionally in stadium situations or have hundreds of of gigs under their belts in small venues. Not really a fan myself but I can admire it.

I once made Jerry Dammers laugh when i handed him my Ghost Town 2Tone single and asked him to sign 'Our National Anthem'.

The Ken Burns Country Music series is brilliant but BBC Four and RTE only ever show one hour long edited episodes.PBS America on Sky regularly show the series with the full 2 hours per episode!

Is it too late to get on to the BBC editing dept asking them to extend Sleaford Mods set beyond Mork and Mindeeehh and dropping KoL?
