just secured 3 free tickets to go and see the recording of Rufus Hound's R4 Teenage Diaries comedy show...

all of which is a bit - meh - though it's an interesting thing to do..

except that...

all those who suffer through Rufus Hound also get free tickets to a June recording of QI - which is my younger son's favourite TV programme - and he will have just turned 18, so will be old enough to go - and it is handily placed just before we leave London! 8)

I've got High Lonesome playing in my head now and it's YOUR fault. ;)

Cheers for the heads up. Just pre-ordered it.

Still not convinced. I mean, they're okay but they don't sound quite sure of themselves.

Do they want to be Springsteen?

I get what you mean. The Springsteen-esqueness of them can be a little off-putting.

They are from New Jersey, I think from the same part. They love him and he has a massive influence on them. This is all a good thing because personally, I think they have their own sound. Influenced. But not the same.
Verbals. Not sure. Soon. I think. Summer time to live I think.

What's that to do with anything? The Beatles are from Liverpool, as are The Farm. :conf:

Looks like it might be a short weekend of viewing.
