Hi there, what's the story with The Hunter Gracchus...who put them on the Grinderman bill & why've you unlinked them from tonight's gig? Just interested...

Wow, that's a pretty cool gig to land. I'll make sure I'm there early. A pint or three certainly sounds in order, good sir.

thanks, ben. i'll be seeing them this weekend.

hi. did you go to the trembling bells concert in london? are they nice/terrific live? did they play lots of stuff from carbeth or mainly songs from their sophomore record? thanks.

hey ! are you putting on that richard youngs gig? need support? i can offer you remedial queen of england and the a band? can't think of anything more perfect! hi, i'm sof by the way.

Hi Ben Can offer you a ticket for the Wednesday at face value. Side Stalls W46. My wife couldn't make it and not particularly a fan so happy for it to go to someone who appreciates the wonderful Ms Newsom. I'm travelling down from Scotland so happy to hand over ticket in person rather than post if that's OK with you. Martin

Are you still looking for a Joanna Newsom ticket?

haha, if there were keys to this county a mortal couldn't hold them! but thankyou nonetheless, it is a big thing for me, only way to top it would be having Richard Thompson play. Planning to do more for 2010 too. It's Ben isn't it?

Are you digging the mid-period Van Morrisonisms of Low Rising? I can't decide if I am or not.

Hi! How are you?--RW from SF

Hello! Nice tunes. See you're coming up to Crouch End for Alasdair Roberts - gonna be a great night!

Hee hee! I corrupted your last fm with Disney!!! :P

What do you reckon to the way that vocal is recorded in Disappointed? Sometimes I think it's lovely, and sometimes I wish it was more straight-up... Hmm.. I am changeable.

Hello! Just wanted to say I spent a very enjoyable few hours listening to your radio yesterday - so much good stuff. I loved Phosphorescent, Judee Sill and especially Benjamin Wetherill. Thanks!

Hey! Saw it on a wilco website somewhere. It does sound fantastic, I've never heard any of Liam Hayes' stuff before but people seem to love it. I'm quite certain the gig's happening, i'd be rather gutted if not, i've been hoping to see the autumn defense for a while now.

Good seeing you (albeit briefly) at Daniel Johnston the other day. I'm off to see Nisennenmondai tonight! ha.

Good to see you're coming along to End of the Road! You'll love it. Last year's was fantastic and the line up for this year looks even better.

Thanks for dropping by!

booked! thanks...

:)

S'ok - it's for the radio tomorrow! Acursed scrobbler, giving away all my secrets! ;)

You must be capering with glee at such a line up!! :D You must be in need of another dj fix!

Yep, got the tix and can't wait! Bet they're amazing live. Need to give Baby Dee more of a listen but definitely growing on me.

I love You Follow Me! Such a fine album. Have you seen any of the Shirley Collins-curated folk jamboree?

There was an piece in Uncut where Linda Thompson implied they might help each other out.

Good piece on Shirley Collins in this month's Mojo magazine

ha, yes, it is impressive. I'm missing out on a week in Fiji to attend all them shows though!

Hey! How was the Union Chapel on Saturday? Any tingles of the spine? =)

Whoa! It's totally disconcerting see something I sang on your list! I can't even remember if that one was any good.

It's a fascinating listen but not sure it's something I'd listen to regularly. I like my music a bit more recent. :-)

How can you put Simon & Garfunkel and affliction in the same sentence??!! And what have you got me listening to now? This woman sounds like she's yodeling!

Did you enjoy Andrew Bird and Beirut? I have a slight preference for the latter, but I thought both were phenomenal.

So gutted about Beirut gig! :-( Why can't my brother turn 18 at a more convenient time! ;-) Have a fab weekend of gigs.

I have the same pact but with 14 Iced Bears.

Drone folk? What is wrong with you? Does God hate you or something?

I bought Selda while I was in Chicago this week! :)

Je suis desole! Brigitte Fontain est Folle! It would be fou if she were a bloke. Merde.

Brigitte Fontaine est fou! :)

I've finally got this thing working properly. Hopefully our musical compatibility rating will get better!

Admit it, the two of you conspired together!

You now have a twin :-)

Nice avi :-)

thankyouthankyou thankyouthankyou thankyouthankyou thankyouthankyou thankyouthankyou thankyouthankyou thankyouthankyou !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Corrupting my playlist! I announce to all last.fm folk that you are listening to musicals!!! :-)

absolutely. it amazes me that her music isn't listened to by more people. i feel like taking a full page ad in the new york times about her sometimes.

What? Beirut and Wilco together?? That's impossible!!!

It couldn't possibly be anything to do with the fact that I've been listening to your radio station!!! :-)
