My opinion on the news I just read is sort of an incoherent haze of happiness. So, Mister Bond, would you like a six CD set of Richard Thompson rarities and live performances for your birthday?

“Yes please.”

Gosh. What’s going to be on it? Lots of stuff. An entire CD full of live performances with extended improvisations. A CD of covers! Which has that cover of “Willie and the Hand Jive/Not Fade Away” he was doing on the 1985 tour on it — pity they didn’t stick his “Hey Joe” on there. What an insane set.
