Lock the knives, pills and car keys away before listening. Whisky helps...

What a tremendous song. Either by Richard Thompson or Elvis Costello, it's an absolute stonewall classic.

It's a Richard Thompson song originally, from I Want To See The Bright Light Tonight (1974).

Hats off to you sir for your eminent good taste!

Whisky helps... is the opening of another classic bit of Thompson doom and gloom - also 1970s so excuse the spectacularly un-PC lyrics.

I think you might have a point. A demo the next time he's on at the Sage would be in order.

Liven the place up and all.
