What's Rowland Rivron's real name?

Marcello forgot to mention the token "ethnic" music slot - this usually consists of a large group of desperately happy 3rd world musicians, pathetically grateful to be given the chance to strut their stuff on the stages of Western Europe and beyond, presenting an ersatz over-produced neither-one-thing-nor-other version of their indigineous culture - this is the part of the show where the viewer either gets up to make a cup of tea or flicks over to the erotic thriller on Channel 5.

I think Jools is okay in reality but I'm still convinced he has a serious B.O. problem

Mark, you're surely not suggesting that Rowland Rivron has ever come up with a gag as brilliant as "[Jools Holland] is the greatest pianist on the planet"?

You are on the same lateral plane as I...

I am? Shit! Who's the pilot?

i think Jools has solved the BO problem.

The first post here is one of the best on ILM ever. Thanks Marcello!

From the Holy Moly newsletter:

"His inability to convincingly read his ‘crib cards’ reveals that Jools Holland rarely has a clue who the bands on his show are. To add salt to the wounds of ignorance, we hear that bands who appear on Later… are charged a 'non-optional' fee of around a grand for their backdrop."

A small thing maybe, but naything to spear Holland.

Video mags: a nice idea from the 80s worth reviving. Since you already have the necessary technology, why not make some yourself?

I'm sure there are more examples of these... someone should start a thread. Maybe I will.

Ovation over here in the States has been showing about six episodes of this ad repeatum. Some good things, some things worth fast-forwarding past. I did think Love's performance of "You Set the Scene" was one of the greatest things I ever saw on TV.

five years pass...

Ha ha McCoy Tyner on last night's Later refusing to end his (amazing) number, JH mirthlessly grinning and gurning in front of camera, finally resorting to "Get off!" so um Elbow could finish the show. Tyner totally pwned Mr Boogie Woogie Piano Magic!

Here he is with the classic "Poème Électronique." Good track (Marcello Carlin), Wednesday, 6 April 2011 11:28 (thirteen years ago) link

LOLsome indeed. Hope McCoy kneed him in the balls in the green room after the show. Still they did need extra time for that insightful interview with Beady Eye, eh? As for Elbow... uh, wtf?!?!?!?!

later is still on! jeez.

youtube thread of later with jools holland would be good. i'd start it but can't find the right jpeg with which to open thread

Crackle Box, Wednesday, 6 April 2011 12:22 (thirteen years ago) link

Beady Eye were atrocious, Liam's voice is well and truly shot. Couldn't bear to watch JH doing his creepily solicitous "interview" with LG.

Neil S, Wednesday, 6 April 2011 12:31 (thirteen years ago) link

The thing about 'Later...' is that in theory it's the kind of show I should like, but in practice and execution I can't stand it.

did you notice "you spin me round" was playing in the background? (snoball), Wednesday, 6 April 2011 13:08 (thirteen years ago) link

They need Cecil Taylor on there, just once.

Get Jools to play some boogie woogie piano with him

if u saw a thread called

RIP Jools Holland

would u assume he died or just that it was another facetious ilx thread

classic carlin content upthread btw

2001 was a watershed

navihchkan (nakhchivan), Friday, 18 May 2012 23:14 (eleven years ago) link

I guess it was OK for 2001.

ok, half the time I'm bored and flick channels, especially if JH is adding boogie woogie piano into the mix, plus musicians should never give interviews, but sometimes it's great, its the only live music show on mainstream British telly and we would miss it terribly if it went. Whistle Test and the Tube got slagged when they were on....

Dr X O'Skeleton, Monday, 21 May 2012 20:49 (eleven years ago) link

Quite rightly, for they were shit.

it was kind of the end of the post britop pre landfill lull when

Destiny's Child, Mogwai, Skitz, Ludacris, Atari Teenage Riot, Two Dollar Guitar, Roger Whittaker, Godspeed You Black Emperor, Squarepusher, Derek Bailey, Cannibal Ox

could have been in a single issue of the nme give or take a septuagenarian free jazz guitarist or two
