Water.

Inspired by your post (and by the fact I've got nowt else to watch atm) I decided to watch Mr Inbetween again. 2 episodes in, laugh out loud funny. Flipping brilliant television.

Great win tonight in what was supposed to be our toughst group game. Scruffy goal aside, we bossed the game and always looked the more likely team to score. Clean sheet and good performances aplenty. 3 points and onwards we march. Ho!

I think I might've been a bit stingy in my Bill Callahan review, find myself still listening to that album (as well as bits and pieces of his other stuff) and really enjoying it all. Never heard of the guy before but that's the entire reason behind this thread and this club in the first place I suppose. Thanks for a great pick Jose.

Both nonces but Jacko had the moonwalk.

Happy birthday Champy, the forum's First Lady.

The live version of Danger Bird from Year of The Horse contains the greatest guitar solo in the history of ever.

Ok, our latest AOW is the debut record from The Mars Volta - Deloused In The Comatorium The Mars Volta - Deloused In The Comatorium Hope you all enjoy.

@Fluter in Dakota let me know when you'd like me to post my next AOW mate.

Just read through Howie's and Zonko's own reviews and it appears we are all firmly in agreement with this one.

Review: Bill Callahan - Gold Record You guys are good to me, another one I've never heard of. [presses play] Pigeons - if I'm making a comparison then Bill sounds more like Leonard Cohen than Johnny Cash, mixing Unchained Melody with Paris, Texas. Sounds fantastic, loved it. Another Song - Bill has a great voice, lovely dreamy chorus and the mix is great, especially love the reverbed out guitar 35 - ok, the parameters of this album have been set clear, a singular theme and style. Are all Callahan's albums like this with Tex Mex flourishes? Nice but nowhere near as good as the first 2 songs. Protest Song - some of the guitar work here is very Ry Cooder, sounds like dobro guitar in the background with that very Cooderesque string scraping. Really like this one, not so much for the lyrics but more for those hypnotic guitars. The Mackenzie's - a kindly neighbour offers to fix Bill's car and opens his arms to him. More lovely Cooder guitar. Charming song and story of loss and surrogacy. Let's Move To The Country is too twee for my tastes, again I dig the guitar but not the vocal on this occasion. Breakfast is slower, deeper, great bass and percussion here. Love the use of reverbs and space here, great production and mixing. Really like this one. Cowboy is your atypical cowboy ditty, ala Buster Scruggs. Distant trumpet and delicious guitars, "whiskey, water, tortillas and me", lazy, sunny and quite beautiful. Ry Cooder - such an obvious inspiration gets his name check but Callahan's vocal lines jar me with their schmaltz. I found myself cringing here. As I Wander is another beautiful sounding song to finish off this most peculiar record. Not my favourite but totally in keeping with those tracks before. So another album and artist which has broadened my musical pallette, completely distinctive and refreshing. I'd like to believe that the Tex Mex thing is genuine and heartfelt and not just this season's mockney Parklife. Bill has a wonderful voice and the inspiration and production is top notch, only the song writing lets this down at times. Fave songs: Cowboy and Breakfast 7/10 - really enjoyed this and 3 songs have already been added to my playlist.

Listened to Jose's Bill Callahan AOW a few times but still need to write and post my review, will get it done tomorrow and then post the next AOW on Wednesday. At least, that's the plan.
