Sem:
Good morning, Bill, and hello to Zzzzzzero Hour friends everywhere. Every year, our local arts council hosts two days of plein air painting w/ an attached auction of the new work, splitting the revenue 50/50 with the 80+ artists. This morning, as usual, I am hanging art at our temporary gallery, missing your show live. Will catch up on the archive! Hear you again soon, I hope. |

Sem, good luck with the show. I thought you had to be dead to make money out of painting. Damien Hurst notwithstanding. Bill, quick hello. It just occurred to me as I was painting the chicken coop that there is no Archies tribute band. |
![]() |
![]() Nor a Wombles tribute band, nor a Banana Splits tribute band. Yet there are several Spinal Tap tribute bands! Shocking. |

Banana Splits! I was just last night perusing a Banana Splits long player that I considered putting on today... I think I opted for the Cowsills instead |

I believe that there is more than one Rutles tribute band. |

Bill Mac:
Should there be an Archies tribute band? |
![]() |
![]() Hi Brian, have you painted a mural on the coop? Sunset in Tahiti? A scene from the 1926 general strike? Or was it in your usual Howard Hodgkin style? |
![]() |
![]() ....and hi Bill and everyone |

UM!!! How dem Cubbies doing? |
![]() |
![]() Very well, considering. Thank you. |
![]() |
![]() Rutles! I should have thought of that. Better for Spinal Tap for the joke. |

I saw a bunch of muscular gents in kilts playing some war music in front of a castle a few weeks back... they looked like they were getting ready to play a football game. |

![]() You sure that wasn't the actual army strutting their stuff at the military tattoo? It's going on at the moment. It's amazing that in this day and age 220,000 people pay up £35 to £350 ($50 to $500) to watch an outdated celebration of military might by a country that still thinks it has an Empire. Howver, in these reactionary times, it is taboo to poo-poo the tattoo. |

These guys had a more Braveheart flavor to them, complete with tattoos... The doctor is in! |
![]() |
![]() Cool version of this Aretha classic, live, terrific! And Bukka White had a kind of folk feel to his blues. |
![]() |
![]() @Stanley: I hear you. Looks like our own self-proclaimed thunder-god failed to inspire the orange one to waste millions on a parade though. I guess one only pays for a long-gone empire |
![]() |
![]() Yeah, they will be our country's finest football fans, getting into the zone before a match |
![]() |
![]() @fred: true words and boy, are we going to pay for the next era of our 'glorious' history. |
![]() |
![]() @Stanley: I'm getting offered jobs in the UK every other week or so. It might be related to the expats who are coming back because of Brexit "uncertainty". Though something smelly certainly seems headed for a fan. Why do I think I'll get hit by some of it, someway? |
![]() |
![]() Love this Gladiators, in my power pop zone. |
![]() |
![]() My daughter's favorite band All Time Low, is playing tonight, I'm going with her. Should be fun. |

you might want to refresh... i'm noticing the current songs is sometime incorrect... |
![]() |
![]() Oops, that was Apples In Stereo... |
![]() |
![]() Washaway! The extra XTC song that was the best! |
Sun. 8/19/18 10:55am
rw:
If it’s XTC this must be Zzzzzzero | |

Sun. 8/19/18 10:57am
Bill Mac:
Hey rw! |
![]() |
![]() XTC extra songs are.... not the best. They always pick the good songs and stick them on the albums. Except “Washaway”. It’s great. |
![]() |
![]() Great set! |

![]() I wouldn't do it. All reliable opinion is that we're headed for utter chaos in the short term (1-2 years) followed by a severe recession. It is quite a phenomenon that this self created catastrophe we're headed for is being allowed to happen. Sense doesn't have look in. |

in the us we drove a car with all the wheels loose on a pot hole ridden road; then when the wheels started falling off we kept driving it. then when the wheels were gone we put bicycle wheels on it and drove it even faster. |
![]() |
![]() (The extra songs on =Mummer= are pretty good, though. But still, the songs on the original album of =Mummer= are better...) |
![]() |
![]() @Stanley: No way I'm taking the bait. The salary is great, but I don't know whether I'd be able to stay a year from now. Some offers were suspiciously backloaded too (options, mostly, but also guaranteed raises if I could remain eligible). Sounds like a scam to me |

@Scraps- I was always a fan of their extra releases back before it was fashionable, but it was really hard to keep up with all of their releases |

![]() @UM; So you're friends with distinction? You do know Doug, though, so it shouldn't be a surprise |
![]() |
![]() Distinction, but not benefits. |

![]() Something tells me this Budgie is not related to any Banshee |

Budgie was also a television series over here in the early Seventies starring Adam Faith. |

![]() One thing I miss about the old home page is the random quote. I think one read something like "50% of band names are made up on the spot" |
