Take your protein pills and put your helmet on as we voyage to the far side this week to take a picture of …

… the Kanye West & Wireless ding-dong

… Springsteen with Tom Morello, Pet Shop Boys with Johnny Marr: the fine art of the ‘special guest’

… when Time Magazine invented Swinging London

… Gregg Allman and the judge’s wife

… Fake Plastic Trees! Pressure Drop by the Clash! Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)! Politicians trying to be hip

… a primal howl from the Troggs written by the son of a golf professional from Westchester County (Chip Taylor RIP)

… why all bands should have ‘membership’ gigs

... Back Home! This Time We’ll Get It Right! Are we still making World Cup anthems?

… never drive a car listening to the Mahavishnu Orchestra followed by the Sun Ra Arkestra and Trout Mask Replica

… plus birthday guest Chuck Loncon is listening to every record he owns.
