Something for the long weekend: Michael Stipe & Andrew Watt “I Played the Fool”

Well that’s it from us for this week as we head into the long weekend. If you’re an AUK supporter your playlist will still be with you for 5pm tomorrow and don’t forget tickets for our Americana 25 event in Liverpool go on sale tomorrow (Friday March 3rd) at 10am. We hope to see you there!

We leave you this week dear reader with a song from the new HBO college comedy drama (I can’t use the word dramedy) Rooster. In a press release, Stipe says, “I’m thrilled to lend my voice to Rooster — as a giant fan of everyone involved, it’s a real honor to be included with ‘I Played The Fool.'” Watt says, “Michael Stipe is a hero of mine. A chance to write a song with him was that of a dream… He is one of the true great songwriters of this lifetime, and he did what only he could do on this song. He sets Rooster off to the moon by making you laugh and cry at the same time with the best clapping TV theme song since Friends.”

Take care, don’t forget Palestine and keep fighting those fascists. Happy Easter and see you on Tuesday.
