@FaeGrl – yup, I agree with @FatManInABox. My ears!

But if Peter Jackson wants some more goblin-rock for the games, that remix may be in contention. 🙂

@FaeGrl   When you posted on the Sofa about moving from Pittsburgh to Minnesota and being surprised when strangers would talk to you, it reminded me of this song:

@FaeGrl @MonochromeDimension @ScaryB

I attended my one and only DW convention back in the eighties. It was an eye opening event for me, as I previously had no idea that people costumed up for these events! The main guest was Colin Baker, and it was very shortly after he had been fired from DW. I remember him talking about this, and being…[Read more]

@FaeGrl
Hee hee. Regarding these cold climates, I think it’s all supposed to be about “inner fibre”. I saw a graphic after the recent snow in Atlanta, showing the amount of snow that had to fall in different places before they would close public schools. It claimed that in the south, this amount was “any snow”, while in Canada and most of the…[Read more]

Greetings to everyone on the sofa – my, it’s busy

🙂

Lovin the talk of the Hairdryer of Rassilon – will that go with the Curling (Tongs) of Capaldi?!

<ducks>

@faeGrl You mentioned waaay upstream) about various Doctors having different musical talents. Does Eleven in Asylum not claim to be on the Carmen recording? (@Bluesqueakpip?) In fact…[Read more]

@bluesqueakpip – Oh nice save! I’ve been wanting to go to a Doctor Who convention for a while… that one is probably a bit too far away though! lol

@FaeGrl – I wouldn’t worry, Daleks don’t seem to exterminate people anymore… I mean, when was the last time somebody actually got exterminated on screen in New Who? Quite a while ago! Then again……[Read more]

@MonochromeDimension

Um, um… I know! There’s a Doctor Who convention in Minneapolis this year!

Console Room, @FaeGrl, GOH Sophie Aldred and Victoria Watling.

I was in Dinkytown, btw, and it was one of the years when a tornado actually made a touchdown in the Metropolitan Area. How do I always manage to time these things? 😉

@FaeGrl – Awww, thanks for the compliment. 🙂

And I feel that this thread has reeeeeally quite gone off the subject of Doctor Who. I should probably direct you all to the ‘Rose and Crown’ thread again, but I will start talking about Doctor Who and hopefully it will return to the thread’s subject topic.  Oh no… I’m such a Topic Dalek… no,…[Read more]

@FaeGrl – are you in Minneapolis? Or St Paul? Just guessing; you make it sound like it’s one of the Twin Cities.

I never spent a winter in Minneapolis, though I did come a bit too close to a tornado while I was there. But I heard a lot of stories about their winters. My favourite was someone saying that Minnesotans are generally calm, thoughtful…[Read more]

interesting piece of music @FaeGrl – seems to suit a theme of a global Journey, if I’m correctly picking up bits of saharan/ eastern music*.

very atmospheric!

(* you’ll tell me “no, its set on the subway in NY” 🙂 )

@FaeGrl    Several years ago, our family made a road trip across Canada, and one of our stops was in Fort Frances, literally on the Ontario-Minnesota border. There was a massive fishing derby going on, and the little town was full of Minnesotans. We had a great time at the end of the day, watching them all bring their boats out of the river… th…[Read more]

@FaeGrl.  I love the mazurkas. They are so quirky, full of interesting little surprises and unexpected rhythmic turns. I like playing that E minor prelude, too! It’s easy enough for me to be able to have some fun with expression (my piano technique, as I say, is not great, and I don’t have the reach for lots of big chords). We have a classic…[Read more]

@faegrl I’m rather fond of Donna myself. She was amusing xD

@purofilion   Oh yes, Gould; such an iconoclast, and so brilliant and quirky (rather “doctorish”, in fact!). As a young piano student in the seventies, I was steeped in the knowledge that he was Canada’s claim to classical music fame.

For @Whisht (and @FaeGrl, Chopin groupie), here is my current hero of the piano, Marc-André Hamelin, who plays wi…[Read more]

@Whisht   Yes, very clever!  🙂  I think “hippyster” is going to be my label of choice from now on. I wouldn’t feel badly, my husband and I were just discussing last night how the result of years of music study was to still have “stoopidly closed minds” to a remarkable number of things that we have only in the last couple of years learned to app…[Read more]

@FaeGrl – Oh if you are going to watch the Seventh Doctor’s serials, do tell me what you think of them! Just be warned; some folks are not keen on his first season at all, because it is rather silly most of the time; even if you find them odd, keep going, because his second and third seasons really get into the swing of things… some brilliant…[Read more]

@faegrl – don’t worry, I’m only kidding – I’m bound to call you “FaeGirl” at some stage!

😉

Hi @faeGrl (“Whilst” is a good one – I often get “whist”! darn predictive text! 😉 )

Thanks for the Candyman clip – I hadn’t realised Glass had done the score for it!

And yes, it was Philip Glass I meant; here’s a clip of his score for a great film called Mishima (I’m sure that the film plays fast and loose with what the actual writer Mishima…[Read more]

@FaeGrl– The picture on itunes is the same as my Avatar here 🙂

@FaeGrl– I know lol… I get giddy like a school girl at times (manly I know ) when the song plays 🙂 I wasn’t suggesting that you were a nube, I was saying that I was 🙂 Perhaps the confusion ia what I am hockin is a ring tone and can only be seen on ipad/phone in itunes.
