  • Love this clip of Michael Stipe, Natalie Merchant, Wiggy and myself playing ‘Another Girl Another Planet’ backed by Sid Griffin and the Cole Porters. It comes from a show we did in Olomouc, in the wake of the Velvet Revolution in Czechoslovakia, in June 1990.

    Crikey! is that me on bass before I went baldy? I'll never forget that night. The highlight of a great tour for me. The velvet revolution!! History being made before our very eyes. Thanks Bill.

      1:09 hilarious and fully justified. Billy's like a clumsy Old English Sheepdog hearing a gentle, subtle, nuanced vocal and thinking he can improve it by grabbing a mike and drowning it out with overenthusiastic barking (Essex or otherwise).😅

    Very good job, Billy, Michael, Natalie, and Wiggy. Read the Wikipedia article about Olomouc, which I was impressed with. It's originally a Roman name adapted by Slavic peoples who migrated into the area. I wonder if that made me think of Mexico, as the community name appears akin to some of the Aztec community names I have seen in Mexico.

      The Saints and Go Betweens, amongst others, may have been fantastic Australian bands that never got the recognition they deserved, but The Only Ones are/were (not sure if their 2003 reunion is permanent!) a fantastic, 75% English, 25% Scottish band formed in South London, who never got the recognition they deserved.

    Michael Stipe understands what made the original so great and sings it slightly behind the beat.
    (As opposed to Blink-182's earnest cover which completely failed to capture the vibe.)
