I think Meddling Monk was mentioned?  🙂

So, I have to go with the Capt Obvious & apologies if it’s been done before!

@Cathannabel.  I’m  so sorry. It’s, as He says, sudden. And what a terrific talent she had!  This reminds me of news in Aus -a RC into Aged Care. The stories -the truths are horrible. But that’s for another day…a different discussion. She obviously inspired  many people and it’s wonderful to know that. What people are capable of, or were, onc…[Read more]

@cathanabbel

Equally sorry – and the Ogdon would’ve been marvellous.

Love to you all.

Puro and Thane

@cathannabel

The Snarky Puppy has been driving me nuts. Not in the normal musical way. But that  Mad Dog reference (somewhere) when connected with Puppy made me think of: aircraft (a passion of mine and Thane’s of late after  his helicopter training session. Best not repeated due to needing millions to actually get the ticket!).

So, not Snarky P…[Read more]

@walruswho

I’m not surprised -the theme is history’s greatest, in my not-so-humble opinion 😉

There are many themes I really like & many of them aren’t huge melodic cycles but something a little different. Who fits that bill.

On a totally non-sci-fi subject, so does Sorkin’s major film The Social Network with composers Atticus Ross & Trent…[Read more]

@walruswho

Well, I’m speechless! That was some job. It’s such a terrific theme, isn’t it?

So, you could also be “who-doo Gurus” 🙂   (after the Australian band, the Hoodoo Gurus).

Puro

was on youtube (& survived) & I found a set of little eps on “easter eggs’ in DR Who. Incl Flatline, the Day of, The Time of, Family of Blood, the time when Oswin first appears. I should link to it.

Of them all, I remember only 3. That’s terrible!

Good fun.

Puro

@whisht

I see what you mean about his writing and the prose.

@blenkinsopthebrave it’s worse than a farce, isn’t it, this ‘administration’? Maybe one day we’ll  wake up and realise it was all a dream 🙁

Puro.

@craig

I have a Marie Cooper from the US  ‘army’ giving me her private email wanting to reveal information 🙂

@whisht  @pedant

It’s funny that real people in the ACTUAL UK watched Mind Your Language or Are you being Served?  🙂

My dear Mum loved those shows. Gawd.

I was waiting till she mentioned this adoration to my year 5 teacher who was born in London and arrived in her mid-30s, husband and two children in tow. Boy, on PT evening Mrs Boski give me a…[Read more]

@whisht

That’s very interesting! It has a punk feel but it’s the chord structure & refrain which is REALLY interesting. That ‘twiney’ steel sound, lots of heavy bass, a deep voice, niiice chord changes which go somewhere different than you think.  @pedant @geoffers

I have another ear worm -more so a need to resolve what it is that makes 80s and…[Read more]

@JanetteB that is bloody awful! “Bloody” tends to be quite an Aussie thing, says Thane. I remember various people shouting “bloddy hill.” 🙂

45 degrees is no joke. It’s not easy to stay cool, here, but you’re far worse off.

I know Thane purchased a $2 pkt of ice and tipped it the bath to have an ice bath. Yeah, right. The so-called cold tap…[Read more]

@ltia

Lovely name, btw. It’s a great place. We’re not AS busy as we were a few weeks ago – can’t believe the NY special was nearly a month ago.

Welcome, you’ll have a blast

Thane16 and Puro

So the clues end up with THIS

@geoffers

I know! Saying “something is SO easy” is a bit like me saying to Thane “listen, this the ‘doh’ pitch and THIS is the ‘sol -mi’ sound. It’s easy just SING it.”

See, this is what happens when I try to be funny?  Smiley faces or emojis are confusing. Some people use them first to write “hey, this is HILARIOUS” whilst others add them in…[Read more]

@whisht

I didn’t mind The Veronicas. Also Katie Noonan. Not a band -front singer from jazz to what people round about call ‘Indie’ moosic.

Just googling there is a terrific name of a Bris/Logan band: Fat Mans Cleavage  😀  Lovely!

Puro.

@ichabod

I made an error! I think I meant another movie with ‘money’ in it? Actually, no, it’s Molly’s Game?

It looks really good! But I might catch MoneyBall too.

I am interested in some films that capture elements of American culture: I remember when I first heard Paradise by The Dashboard Light. Has so many American elements. A nation very…[Read more]

@ichabod

Are you’re back!! I will tell Mum that. I really wanted to see it? Dad watched it & was not that impressed? Mum loves Bill Nighy. We all do.  Right now, I should be on another thread but I was watching out for the new Sorkin film called Moneyball. Have you seen that at all? I think it is on disc by now.

T16  and happy new year to you!!

@geoffers

That’s the argument against a lot of music, isn’t it? Just how impenetrable it can be. Despite trying, JM Jarre wasn’t easy for me. Oxygene’s brilliant. But after 30 mins I panic and freak out. I find the intense orchestration and lack of pitch variation monotonous. Obviously I was hated for this opinion! “Ah, Puro you are SO lite! You…[Read more]

Ah, TRB, Tran Stacey. Niiice. I mean, Stan Tracey -links with Ambler etc. Very talented pianists. Parents were considered pretty far right conservative in the late ’80s and Ambler  against advice, played for the TRB for a few gigs “just temp, mind, lads, OK?” and ended up staying for awhile

@whisht That’s a terrific story!  The da-da duh in p…[Read more]
