Encountering the cheerful ping-pong bats of conversation this week you\\u2019ll find \\u2026

\\u2026 the most unprepossessing rock band on God\\u2019s green earth.

\\u2026 Ed Sheeran v Marvin Gaye \\u2013 \\u201cthe case continues\\u201d. But does anybody genuinely copy anyone else these days?

\\u2026 Springsteen and Michelle Obama and their irresistible thirst for publicity.  

\\u2026 the return of the Stack Waddy game: Spencer Birtwistle? Wilfred Mott? \\u2026 Bernard Cribbins sitcom character or former member of the Fall?

\\u2026 Santana\\u2019s Caravanserai still sounds like it was made yesterday.

\\u2026 what Paul McCartney and Coldplay were paid to play Glastonbury.

\\u2026 if you tell people they\\u2019ll like things they tend to look for reasons to disagree but can we (cautiously) recommend the Australian comedy Colin From Accounts?

\\u2026 Happy 70th, Bill Drummond. We remember his deafening \\u2018retirement\\u2019 exit at the BRITS in 1992 and his exotic activities since.

\\u2026 the delicate rhythms of the funniest lines by PG Wodehouse.  

\\u2026 a chilling stat involving football academies.

\\u2026 Harry Belafonte, the original \\u201csinger and activist\\u201d, and the time he was in a drama class with Walter Matthau and Marlon Brando.

\\u2026 plus Shakespeare, a light-fingered Noel Gallagher and amplified busking.
