I’m just listening to Xfm and am most impressed that they are playing a band as old and as good as ELO. Which reminds me that between the bands at the Franz Ferdinand gig they played ELO, which only served to show up the support acts.

I’m also reminded, having seen The Fiery Furnaces’ album in HMV today, that the only memorable bit of their performance was the repeated line “Tropical…icy-icy” from their song Tropical Iceland. Oh, and the standout (possibly for the wrong reasons) lyric “The rain in Spain falls mainly on me.” Don’t take that as a recommendation though.
