Why would you watch all five series , fifty-two episodes , and then skip the final chapter ... ?

Aaah , just had that bittersweet moment you experience when you finish watching the final episode of something very good indeed. Thank you to the makers of "Yellowstone" , it's been a great journey ...

I guess it was paid for and removed by the time the last three items had finished some 10 minutes later. I'm sure someone else noted it and will post it.

Thankfully all the links are tucked away behind paywalls or require signing up to to listen to so hopefully it'll just fade away unnoticed.

Those events etched deep into my memory banks , one of only two live performances at niters that I've ever really enjoyed , the other being Ruby Andrew's impromptu stage appearance whilst accompanying her friend Barbara Acklin at the Droylsden niter of Mark Bicknell's in the early 90's.

Tommy Navarro ?

Thanks for that Andy , found them both on FB , just have to decide now whether to disturb them after 40 years ...

They regularly gave me a lift in my hitch-hiking days from Leicester Oddfellows to Wansford , dropping me off at the wonderful Art Deco Little Chef where the A47 meets the A1 , before continuing on our separate journeys home ... 🥰

Would that be Karen and Caron from Boston , fond memories of them from my early days on the NS journey ... 🥰

But there'll still be a throng of influencers on Aberystwyth seafront taking selfies and a bunch of forty year-old surfers on Newquay beach ...

If I ran a nighter all phones would have to be left in the cloakroom upon entry or you wouldn't get in ...

Back in the lovely old days when all venues were dark and dingy , and all the better for it in my opinion. Don't recall the Wirrina like that just a great big hall , never went to the Fleet so have no idea on that one. Oddfellows in Leicester was two rooms at around the same time.

Tells me the number is wrong , best you check the details you loaded.

Issue's a lot scarcer than a demo , but saying that some plum paid £892 for a demo on the bay at the end of September ... ! https://www.popsike.com/Enchantments-Im-In-Love-With-Your-Daughter-Pt-I-II-Faro-DJ-Promo-RARE-NM/166916293824.html

Because you'd be lost without something to whinge about on a Wednesday evening if they weren't , that's why ... And a 45 doesn't need to be in the so-called 'mega-rare' bracket (that you used not me) to make £300 , we.ve seen bootlegs make that before.

What's so hard to understand ? It's an auction of a rare item in great nick that two punters wanted , and one of them was prepared to pay a bit more than the other.

Some minor squabbling over the Shepards but the rest have sold @ 18:08.

AI at present is just a glorified extra-quick search engine that trawls through the information available to it online and cherry-picks the bits it wants , it cannot access the human side of things that come from inside the heart and mind of an artist. It's a bit like a naive student copying extracts from a bunch of books and sticking them together to make an essay , and subsequently getting a very low grade , despite using all the best answers available , but assembling them as something 'new'. So it cannot introduce that magical spark of human emotion that has been present in every song since singing was first a thing , regardless of genre. And I doubt it's allowed to use those tiny parts of 'messiness' that a bunch of humans performing together produce , the ones that make things like the Mello Souls such wonderful recordings , imperfect messy perfection not note perfect , polished to death banality. And it will be some special algorithm that can make those special tunes that we all have dear to us , that tick the boxes that make Frank Ocean's quote so true.
