One of my favourite R.EM. albums is Up. I love that sparse electronica tinged sound that makes that album a real special outlier in their work.

Yeah, that’s definitely true but this one even felt flat compared to the recent shows. Defo would have been better crowd experience if it was one of the non televised shows. Nottingham for example got CM Punk and Cody teaming up. This one just promo after promo. You don’t wanna pay £200 for promos

They really short changed Scotland with that show tonight. Worst one of the European tour so far and you could tell with the audience enthusiasm down. Feel for the people who paid so much

She’s so good. Gonna be a star

I guess it depends what counts as visuals. If it’s just an image of someone on zoom then that’s not really adding anything at all. The balance between podcast and YouTube show gets a bit blurry sometimes though.

Yeah that makes sense. I think working in a supermarket has turned me right off all these traditions, the steak pie and tartan and bagpipes of it all

Tbh I absolutely cannot stomach anymore of that tired traditional format on bbc Scotland. Apparently the Sophie Ellis Bextor show on bbc one is really good so that’s where I’ll be. Apologies of course to Sir Marti Pellow
