I promise to buy said tickets once my book is published and I have the time and the expendable income. By the way, you seem like an intelligent and good-hearted man. This leads me to a serious question. Why don't you marry some supermodel like other celebrities have done and help humanity by making some high-quality humans? Other men like Ted Nuget or Johnny Depp have done this sort of thing. My advice is to take a vacation in Brazil. Portuguese is easy to pick up, by the way. I am not saying to do this because I found a Brazilian woman and married her. But I have, actually.

missed the scotland tickets...unfortunate would have been such good night 😢😊

[@paulburner3817]

Its unapologetically fun. 2 musicians who dont need to do it getting together and performing songs inspired by bands they love (beatles, stones, humble pie, who and faces etc) . Reminds me of the 70s when musicians would often collab with eachother just because they wanted to do.

Justin is incredible at picking up sounds or chords. But he was in 'The Darkness.' They had 2 good songs. Not even great.

Hi Justin & Jenny. Have you heard the new Zutons’ track? Not a band I’d usually rave about. The new single is BLOODY BRILLIANT however! A Peter Gabriel “Sledgehammer” vibe mixed with some “Stop Making Sense” Talking Heads vocal arrangements! Can’t say fairer that that guys! One to hum whilst on the ice! Big love to you both xx

Beady Eye, and Liam's solo stuff have done nothing for me, whereas Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds have been stellar in my opinion. But, BUT this collaboration with John Squire has really impressed me! Loving it so far! It's like Liam needs a real foil to get the best out of him, whether its was Noel, or now John.

What ive always like on those britpopish tunes is wheres the bass sits. Sounds huge. Pretty cool imho

[@aprilkurtz1589]

I love John Squire. His guitar playing makes all the difference in this song, which again still sounds to me like they've basically lifted random two measure sections from Beatle's songs and made a song out of them. It's an ok song. My "brother in law" is from Hull. I believe I've heard him say "Dull as Hull" himself. Did you and The Hoff have a falling out? It seems he's keeping his distance. Hellooo Fuzzy Mae!

[@909mrwill]

As someone who lived in Hull for over a decade i'm happy to explain that the the saying is "It's never dull in 'Ull" (note the absence of the letter H which is very important).. there's even T shirts with it on and other such memorabilia such as postcodes, fridge magnets and badges bearing the slogan form the Kingston Upon Hull tourist board. 100% true story and you may Google this to verify if you so wish.
