you. Never. Miss. Anything.  (YNMA). That’s your name now, sorry, but it is. You asked for it 🙂

I love Wah-wah. Possibly boring anecdote: I had this playing really loud to a group of very sick gentlemen in the States (fiddling around with music therapy) as well as the Beatles and Merseyside groups.

The patients were blue collar…[Read more]

Ah yes, so syzygy came from a show my son loves (and me too) called The OA. Except he had also learnt that, in astronomy, it’s an alignment of three bodies including a celestial body like the sun.

Also, practically, my son and I are both holders of the same name -and in poetry, and music, particularly during Homeric times (the music,…[Read more]

And another Voice of d’Beehive…

@pedant @whisht

For a child so busy with assignments, he sure has a lot to say, does Syzygy. Mind you, I agree: lots of music his friends listen to is similar with pulsating back beats, over- bass 16 tracks & is wholly digital with almost nothing that I would say gives the impression of natural. Certainly if the Beatles, Bowie, ELP could do…[Read more]

@Roger429  OK. I will thanks. That’s a long way from here (evening). I’m about to go & play 2 football matches one after the other. So night and evening won’t come for another 6 hours!

Action’s fine! I remember at 12 loving Buffy FOR the action. Later, there came (ahem) different elements I liked.

I really liked Eccleston’s first episode “Rose”…[Read more]

@roger429

I take your point. Agreed. But. Many of the original dr who stories actually were historical stories. At 17, I’ve seen, probably, 11 of these thru a period in ’63, ’69 with the Dr Original (Dr O not Doctor No!) & Pat Troughton.

Man, were some SO slow. I realise today, when you put a piece like Rosa up against ANY episode in the 60s and…[Read more]

Ohhhh, hip to hip. Yep, missed that. I mean I totally missed it. Awkward. I was just dancing along.

@pedant

heheheh. Blast. When you’re at parties you don’t listen to the lyrics in the way you should….

Honey Lingers? “There are monsters, there are angels. “i’m nobody’s baby”  Mum would say this is really good scansion. I think, after 17 yrs, I’m learning what that is.

“There is ice and  there is fire in every single heart….”

I like how p…[Read more]

sorry @roger429

That was for @pedant basically.

Syzygy (young one of the pair).

@pedant @roger429

I have listened to that so many times and I never thought it was smutty. I mean I have been singing the lyrics and now it’s so obvious. Proves that in writing and in music you really have to PAY ATTENTION.

@pedant @roger429

Your comment makes sense @pedant. I forget that the BBC has a variety of “expectations” as the ABC does here. I think Rosa was great. And one more was awesome. But I liked quite a few. Rosa was studied in class -and is still being studied with the next round of students.

Young Syzygy.

that was me Syzygy the younger one. And I liked your music in post # 67985 @whisht.

That’s something we hear a lot. And I respect and support all that you said.

@whisht you’ve been playing a lot of great stuff. I don’t think I knew about the B52s til a few years ago. On at a party and I was surprised. It was 16 year old’s party and the music was 70s and 80s. I figured I’d go back to another one of those. Really awesome funky dancing.  So.….

I could NOT believe this! He rants on a message about how the Left are haters and warmongers, that there is nothing but peace in Trump, that he’s a Christ loving person who is radical in all the right ways & provides messages of hope & love. Er what? I thought Voight had a good conscience….

It’s interesting…[Read more]

@whisht

you have been working hard! I have the embarrassing tale of not knowing very much about the B52s until Love-Shack which I thought energetic -more so than Lobster, actually, which McCartney didn’t like and Lennon (well, OK, Ono did). I’ve never head Planet Claire before! Ooh. Good!

Brilliant choices!   “Tighter than a Gnat’s Chuff.”  T…[Read more]

Also, seriously, no THE  OA?

It’s gorn too.

Clearly it wins hands down -over Stranger Things, over 13 Reasons. Over Rectify.

But only The Leftovers and Doctor Who remain in the bracket of spell-binding, decisive, and beautiful telly

I shall go cry in a corner.

But on the music thread we have an unexpected “day 4” of Woodstock. It was many…[Read more]

P: I shoulda gorn with (now that’s not Old North Shore neither) something punk. But I just couldn’t do it.

Ian Matthews is quite interesting. I didn’t have much of an idea how long he performed…..but he’s ticket holder for Scunthorpe FC. That gave me giggles & tickles. It’s intriguing just how many bands stood for acclaim but bringing along others, who’d either been kicked out of a band(s); volunteered a hasty retreat followed by induction to yet…[Read more]

@JanetteB

Yes I realise my mistake with King Bob!

I also understand the various differences & attitudes about the rest of the universe but it doesn’t mean we leave out, as you say, the many privileges people here have. Except they’ve lost some of  them anyway. Which is no excuse. I try, I guess, to see the world as one “global village” which,…[Read more]

@whisht

I had to check that too. They had no clue where Woodstock was but had played with Joni Mitchell -as their own opener which they were thrilled to do. Apparently they said “we were scared shitless” but a mate of mine who did Roadie work in the 70s concluded this was an urban/musical myth, organised in part to give off a “folksy, shucks”…[Read more]
