Good performance from John Newman 

*gasp* we thought he was dreadful!  Sounds like a young white bloke trying to sound like an old black bloke, and missing it.

Our Maud liked the guitar sounds from Lloyd Cole, so I might have to acquire a Jazzmaster, even though I'm not a Fender kinda guy... :-O

Great to see Lloyd Cole on good form. I enjoyed that.

I thought John Mayer sounded good tonight.

Nice to hear Graham Parker and the Rumour again after so many years and I noticed one of my old guitar repairers from Chandler Guitars, Brinsley Schwarz, was playing guitar for him.

Anyone id the guitar that Aaron (or was it Bryce) Dessner was playing in the last National tune?

Indeed @Jalapeno they still sound good!

Was it the Jazzmaster or the non-reverse Firebird you mean?

It was the non reverse Firebird. I thought it was something else like one of the many Eastwood models.

I thought it sounded great whatever it was...

That one's still waiting for me to watch it.

I don't think it should wait much longer.

GP&tR ... remember those guys from their peak in the 70s ... Heat Treatment et al.

Just watched The National clips again. They are a fine, fine band - can't think of many that are better at the moment.

Nice to see big Martin Belmont with Graham Parker. Martin used to go to school in Yeovil with a mate of mine. But my mate allways say he Martin was the rhythm player ! Enjoyed that show watched some of it this morning. Enjoyed John Mayer and Graham Parker, and Lissie was quite refreshing too.

There is a free live ep mp3 of Lissie on amazon I noticed. Not heard it yet but on my iPod for walking the dog later.

Just watching last night's. Jools' interview with John Mayer didn't want to make me hide behind the settee ( that's sofa for southeners) and I am warming to JM and his little demo of blues styles.

Unlike his one with Terry Pratchett and Maddy Prior. How does he remain so utterly fecking useless at interviewing people? He's been doing the job for 30 odd years for god's sake.

I finally got around to watching the Friday show and JM really shone and I think Jools really liked him as he gushed more than he usually does. Anyone spot the rare Dumble Steel String Singer (as used by SRV) and not surprising with JM being such a big SRV fan and even bagging SRV's guitar tech, Rene Martinez.

I noticed the Klon Centaur being hit for his solo on the last song, "Call me the breeze" and I believe that was an Alembic guitar he was using. Liked the subtle sound of the autowah, probably from the Adrenalinn, on the solo for "Wildfire".

Lissie reminded me of Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac. No surprise then when I looked her up on t'internet that one of the first things that came up was her covering "You can go your own way". She had a good guitar player (nice sound and feel).

Indeed a good episode.

Just got around to watching it. Somewhat underwhelmed.

The National were dull and predictable. Editors crossed with Arcade Fire.

John Mayer seems to be able to infuse anything he does with utter blandness. Interesting how so much expensive equipment can produce something so completely boring sonically.

Lissie was pretty good. Her second song was the high point of the show, the only one with any real passion. Nice to see a sensible amount of gear for a change too.

Graham Parker was OK. I never got into him back in the day, and I still didn't really get it. Sorry!

London Grammar sounded like they were trying too hard to be arty. Something about her voice annoyed me, and I normally like that kind of thing. (Second song was better.)

The brief clip of Steeleye Span was much better than anything up to that point…

Ballaki Sissoko was very good.

I'll go away and have more coffee now .

Kebabkid

Crickey ICBM. I haven't seen "speaker" damping like that since I borrowed a Rivera M60

Fair play...you know what you like and don't like, and I am a gusher.

Enjoy your coffee

I'm still running a week behind with Jools, but last weeks interviews were just dire, what was Jools thinking (or not as the case maybe)

They must have been one act down with time to fill, but with embarrassing drivel ?

Does anyone know what that 12 string teardrop used by Alex Turner on the Arctic Monkeys song was, I really quite fancy one, and I never really liked teardrops.  Any ideas?

P.S.   Just caught the short version of this weeks, loved Ballaki Sissoko, great stuff.
