Tis correct. Away you go...

Okay then. Becker and Fagen in one of their pre-famous-Steely-Dan bands had a drummer who went on to be a well known actor/comedian. Name him.

There's a great two-cd Ultimate Collection, that's good. http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005V4WI/qid=1084757866/sr=2-1/ref=sr_2_11_1/202-0114610-4267831 For me this year has been soundtracked by the albums Lola Vs.

Oh and George H appeared in the episode where Homer tells of his time in a barbershop quartet.

It's LEAD KING HAT isn't it?

DrJ

Rethink: KINGS LEAD HAT (It was in UNCUT magazine, or Mojo, or one of 'em)

*dingdingding* We have a winner. Yes, PoP it was Ringo Starr in series Two. Paul and George have also appeared on the Simpsons, just not together.

Nope, some guesses are closer than others.

There was a movie on tv the other month called "I Want You" with Rachel Weiss (?sp) being the most famous person in it. Anyhoo it seemed to be some kind of brooding, dark sexual thriller which featured a stripper taking her clothes off to that particular EC tune. Didn't watch the whole thi...

OK, let's end this one... they called themselves The Nerk Twins.

Replacement question: Who was/were the first musician/musicians to appear as themselves on The Simpsons?

Lotta good albums out today: Ron, Morrissey, Ash and Graham Coxon. I have the Ron CD but haven't progressed from the looking at to listening to phase. But the single came on the radio the other day (yes, really) and it's a great as usual. So let the Sexsmith Appreciation Society (S.A.S.) begin... I'...

Ha, yes, the novelty value would wear off. But it was good to let my anorack fly for an afternoon.

Does that big goofy Magical Mystery Tour bus go by your place? I have to admit, I laughed like a drain when I saw it myself... This week I edited my Liverpool footage into a movie that I might eventually post somewhere. http://www.cavern-liverpool.co.uk/mmt/ T'was a good day out. I think we're going...

Itinerant at a wedding suit. That's funny. As an extention of how he looked, I'd avoid perspex chairs if I were EC (in fact, note to self: avoid perspex chairs) What's fun about EC is how fast he moves, the interview is already out of date. North? Been there, done that. Interestingly he explained ho...

Is it that hard? If yer into Beatle trivia, it'll stick in your brain. I'll give it 24 hours.

DrJ

That was great. I used it as an incentive to get out of bed (on a week off). Asked a couple of things I've always wanted to ask, particularly how he reconciles the EC who does chat shows and The Simpsons with the serious EC. And Vine is such a fan, it's hilarious. Has anyone else here written EC a l...

Stabbers is excellent and might I point out the neighbouring Chris Morris site:

..which is also excellent with a funny and opinionated messageboard.

DrJ

Nobody's right yet.

JM are you taking the piss with you Des'ree signature? "Life" is one of the most entertainingly fatuous songs ever.

DrJ

Another great song.

I really don't like the Stone Roses though... I'll think things over....

DrJ

Woo! Yay! Go me!

I was in Liverpool recently and this was the most difficult question on a Beatles sight-seeing trip: John and Paul played some dates as a duo over Easter 1960 - What name did they use for these appearances?

No googling!

DrJ

Prince?

DrJ

(I knew the Smashing Pumpkins one, arse!!!!!)

If you watch the trailer, he's in that too. Oddly there's no mention of Diana Krall on the site but they mention her in the trailer.

It looks good, I finally get it. And it's about time EC made a movie with Robbie Williams.

DrJ

Christ I love that Todd song. I have to go listen to it NOW!!!!

(Ahhhh, god bless iTunes)

My Little Red Book?

Well I'd been trying to avoid the Tower because it does become obsessive, but here goes... OUT: Fumbled Priest - In the Middle of your Minefield (without aspirin) It not a good idea to kick out songs that one doesn't know, but I'll make an exception. IN: The Kinks - This Time Tomorrow The Clash - St...
