NTB Iconic Icons - Bob Dylan
I've posted the new National Theatre of Brent's Iconic Icons episode in the NTOB section on the right hand side of the page.
It's the box at the bottom that looks like it's empty, it's not, just hit play or follow the divshare link. This weeks icon.... Bob Dylan.
The BBC website labels this as 1 of 3 episodes and also mentions that it's an occasional series. I'm guessing that means it's not on every week. I'll keep my eyes open for the next one.

The National Theatre of Brent's Iconic Icons!
Iconic Icons Wed 29 Jul 2009 18:30 BBC Radio 4!
I was in the audience! It was a boiling hot day and VERY uncomfortable in the venue. The show was fab though! Very interesting to see a radio comedy recorded, it all seemed very low rent. I guess you don't really need that much, just a room with good acoustics and a couple of microphones!

That Mitchell and Webb Look: Homeopathic A&E
Mitchell & Webb have really hit the ground running this season. This sketch sums up everything that winds me up about "Alternative Medicine". It's called "Alternative" because there's no, repeat NO evidence that it works. And yet it's huge business especially in the UK and U.S.A.

When the rock & roll nightmare comes, the devil's gonna make me eat my drums!
They came, they saw, they went to 11. Spinal Tap played their 1 date World Tour at Wembley Arena on Tuesday night and my ears are still ringing!
I was impressed they didn't do any schtick, they just played an awesome gig and relied on the fact that the songs were strong enough (and funny enough) to stand on their own. So apart from dwarfs dancing around an inflatable Stonehenge the "jokes" were kept to a minimum, with just little bits of banter between songs.
I soon realised that these guys can really play! They sounded very assured and tight, making a noise that Metallica would envy. Chris.... sorry, Nigel Tufnel's guitar solo (though overlong) was masterful. Dave St Hubbins voice has lost none of it's power over the years and Derek Smalls proffered lukewarm support on base.
A wonderful night was had by all.
But there's more. During the first few songs official looking women with clipboards were roaming the arena. It transpired that they were looking for women to go up on stage and dance with the band during the song "Big Bottom". They picked my wife!!! Luckily people took along camera phones so the moment has been recorded for posterity. Or posterior.
If you know her, she makes her first appearance around the 1:47 mark.
Stonehenge!!
And just for the hell of it, the video for The Magesty Of Rock!
Tap were supported by The Folksmen. Brilliant!
