A lot of votes for 'Song & Dance'. Listening to it a couple of days
ago I thought what a cracking opener it would make. Not sure how keen
Youth is on Fire Dances. Doubt Jaz could hit the high notes anymore
either. Agree that 'Blood On Your Hands' would be an excellent choice.
Youth doesn't seem to mind playing Night Time so maybe the title track
would be something they could all agree on? A new one would be ok too.
Shame Youth doesn't like Revelations. A lot of people, myself
included, say it's their favourite album. 'The Hum' would be my first
choice. Vaguely remember us having this conversation before -
something about not wanting to be reminded of the Iceland episode and
split (but I could have made that up).

Not long now. Got my ticket for Manchester a few weeks ago when I was
seeing... umm... a certain Scottish band... Bring it on!
