Later... With Jools Holland 8/10 & 11/10

[sculptureofabloke]

I'd love to imagine what it'd have been like for anyone seeing last night's episode who's not familiar with Manics at all. To see them play Show Me The Wonder, then be shown footage of Faster from Top Of The Pops. God, how shocked would you be if Show Me The Wonder was your introduction to Manics and you found out what they'd been like over the years?!

Anthem was utterly, utterly lifeless on Later. It is a great song on record but the band seemed bored playing it.

Just didn't think it nice you calling her a dog just because you didn't like her performance.

Lass is slang for girl. The dog Lassie was named after the slang, a male equivalent would be Laddie after the word "lad", meaning boy.

I think it's terrible that dogs are perceived as such negative comparisons anyway. Dogists!

In the words of a great canine philosopher:

" Woof-woof woof arf woorf grrrrrrrr. Woof-woof, grrrr woof arf-arf woof. Arf-woof Artisan 30" woof-woof grrr woof, woof woof woof. "

I think on that, at least, I would hope we can all agree.

tzb perfectly explains the meaning of the word lass in his post. I've never once heard it used as a derogatory term.

You wished physical harm on me because of your own naive misunderstanding of a sentence I posted on the internet. That's the sort of clueless Twitter lynch-mob mentality that gets a perfectly innocent person battered.

In your defence, you posted very early in the AM on a Sat morning so maybe weren't at your sharpest. As such, lets just move on

What was it Nicky wrote? "Lovely labradors outnumber musicians..."

[wireobsessed]

I just love the way Wire drops into the interview that he has an exhbition next year in Cardiff. He knows how to get a Nicky girl excited!

[starstruck]

wtf? i am assuming this is a wild misunderstanding, since all of us from Yorkshire are born and raised to use the term "lass" in an affectionate, respectful way.

[Lone Architect]

I'm too lazy to go back and rewatch Tuesday's episode, but if they rerecorded the interview, did they also rerecord Poliça's song immediately afterwards cos they went straight into that with no cut?

[Lindz Delirium]

Is the Wire interview available online anywhere?

Nicky's 15 mins in on the dot.

[benwalton]

Is it just me or does Nicky just seem utterly miserable at the moment?

The lyrics on the album, the lack of shades recently and AND he had not a single feather boa on his mic stand on Later. Just want to give the man a hug.

[Littlesue]

Probably a mid life crisis
