    Fortunately for you the composer from that video is dead, and one of the videos towards the bottom actually has an orchestrated version of the overture and "Love Reign O'er Me".

    Pete on The Daily Show. He was also on The View ​yesterday, but I won't subject the fine people of ETS to that.

    It used to be on YouTube, but they cracked down on it and it's nowhere to be found in full. It is available to buy on iTunes however.

    Eminence Front, mainly cause it's been stuck in my head for a couple weeks now. That and I think he could do some cool things with it.

    "Imagine a Man" would fit in perfectly with Hesitation Marks, but it's a little too obscure for NIN.

    Amazon.de had the new set listed at what has come out to be 25 dollars American, as I pre-ordered it. I have my fingers crossed the order is sent.

    Quadrophenia: Live In London, recorded from the last night on the band's tour playing the album in it's entirety. Also they are releasing a full version of the original album on Blu-ray audio in 5.1 surround sound, Fulfilling Pete Townshend's original vision of the album as an immersive musical experience.

    You folks might enjoy this

    Martin Fitzgerald is a regular contributor to one of my favourite football [soccer for you Americans!] blog & podcast but for the last 17 weeks has been putting together these pieces where he gets someone to listen to a "great" album they've never heard before [great is a matter of opinion, some of it's shite] and write a few words about it. This latest piece is on The Who.

    Their Glastonbury performance was nothing less than an inspired showing that the fire and passion Daltrey and Townshend can still find in these old songs, despite their 50 years on the road. Whether or not this is the end, I think there would be no better time than right now than to end because it means they would go out on as high a note as they can achieve now.

    I've been listening to the early albums. I like a lot of the singles from this period, but there's a lot of stumbling musically when it comes to some album tracks. Some of the ads on Sell Out are clever, but it feels gimmicky when compared to the more grand experiments being done at the time. Townshend has said as much that in 67 and 68 that he was feeling left behind by the new developments.
