Hello fellow humans. Anyone got recommendations regarding parking near North Melbourne train station?

Free parking that is.

I don't often watch actor interviews (although I do enjoy a bit of long form journalism) but watching non US actors get interviewed on US talk shows always gives me an awkward sort of laugh. I know it's not intentional but so often it comes across as how could someone possibly be famous outside of the US, like they'll list off a few of their works and it'll be the most obscure thing they did a million years ago that by some power of God made it to American telly for half a minute.

Have a look at Parkinson's back catalogue. He was a great interviewer. Also, for a more modern take, check out the Graham Norton show. Somehow (it's booze) that guy gets everyone chatting and laughing amongst themselves and still directs the interview to a satisfying end.

So. I like Neil Young and I like Dave Matthews. DMB did a cover of Cortez a while back. It's worth a listen and look, especially in the guest solo where the band are doing the did-you-see-that reaction to the guest guitarist.
