Morning
Did you know there's a new Half Man Half Biscuit album out? I bloody didn't until this morning and it's been out since September. That's at least four weeks of HMHB goodness that has been stolen from my life.

Still, the new Ryan Adams is fucking awesome, so that kind of makes up for it.

Ha
No, he's prolific, if lacking somewhat in quality control sometimes.

He did great stuff with Whiskeytown, then his first two solo albums, Heartbreaker and Gold were fantastic (Gold had 'I will always love you, New York' on it, which is the song you probably mean. That or Answering Bell). Then he went off the boil (and rails) a bit, although there are great songs to be found on Easy Tiger and Jacksonville City Nights. 29 and Cold Roses weren't great though.

But Ashes & Fire, the new one, seems as good as Heartbreaker on first two listens.

/fanboy.

That's quite mental
It was a Tuesday, after getting into an argument with someone at lunchtime, I'd pointed out I didn't 'give a shit what he said, as I could have him anyday' (no, not in a gay way).

After History, when I was heading up to Textiles, he confronted me, put me up against a wall by the throat, and asked 'why the fuck I'd been saying I could batter him?'

I grabbed his throat back, and said 'Because I fucking could', and pushed him back into the window, where he tripped over the bag he'd left.

It was a good day. Then, when I got home, it got very strange, very quickly. But, I remember it well.

Anything about the day before, or after it? Not a fucking clue.

I was in a greasy spoon in Slough and heard about the first plane on the radio. Went back to the office and saw the rest of it happen on TV. A fuckwit db analyst found a website where you could listen to the NY police radios and decided to blare it out in the office. I told him to turn it off as we didn't know if any colleagues had friends or family in NY. He refused so I gave him a written warning.

Is that one well known?
It's the first track on Demolotion, isn't it? Which wasn't one of his better received albums.

I know they used Rescue Blues at the end of Black Hawk Down and in Sweet Home Alabama, so I assumed that might be pretty famous. And Answering Bell was on music television all the time when I was in the US in early 2002 but I don't know about here.

I'd forgotten about that album completely. I really liked Rock N Roll. Especially 1974.

I'd also forgotten the Love Is Hell EPs until I just googled him too. Although that may be no bad thing, as one of them has that dull version of Wonderwall on it (although in fairness, it's probably hard to make Wonderwall not dull)

I actually translated wrong and thought you meant Amy Winehouse, and I was still talking about Wonderwall.
