Just wanted to say “hi” to the new members, as well as echo Craig’s call that its the PR dept. who made a news item of Bill’s sexuality.
A bit poor from them (bit of a stretch for it to be ‘news’ in this day and age), but clicks and all that.

Also (wrong thread but) great to hear our friends in Aus not too affected by the storm, but still -…[Read more]

lurky lurky lurky…..

So, as we approach the new series, thought I’d start looking for “waiting songs”.

This one has completely inappropriate lyrics to Who, bu its ok, they’re buried below the fuzz!

:¬)

“pedant – thanks for that!

Out of curiosity I found that this is the B-side (I think I prefer it!).

I also found (thanks google) that there’s a documentary about Delia called The Delian Mode.

and this is me being self indulgent (or maybe that’s always?).

When I was leaving my previous job a few years ago, this track came on my walkman on shuffle that morning as I approached the doors.
I laughed out loud (and probably worried a few people!).

That synchronicity won’t happen again, so as I reach the final day of this particular job,…[Read more]

ah well – Chuck is worth a couple of posts.

Bye bye Johnny B Goode

So, I guess the only other one for this forum that makes sense is this (I’m sure I must have done this before but oh well)

Deep Breath – The Promised Land

well, this is for @Thane15 who might need a good night’s sleep (he’s earned it).

though I doubt hearing it will lead to anything approaching sleep…

Hey – thanks @thane15

My guess is Puro means Penderecki – but its scary and I have only heard snippets!

I’ll take the hugs as they’re less scary!

;¬)

not a favourite or anything, in fact the only reason I know of it was that it was number one when i was born.

which was around now or so, so….

so, I wanted to put something on here today that was uplifting, happy an joyful.

But its getting ever closer to midnight!

And this song is a recent one (and actually recent in coming out this year!)!!
It also begins with thoughts about babies and stuff though is actually about the ;human condition’ (whatever that is).

So, I’ll post it but am…[Read more]

Not sure if anyone in the UK has been following the TV show called Tattoo (or Taboo?)

Its about a Coat and its friends a jaunty Hat and a Knife. They return to early 19th Century England bent on revenge of some sort.
The Coat glowers and mumbles its way around London docks and some countryside.

There’s loads of faces you’d recognise – Jonathan…[Read more]

Enjoy your retirement Aretha.

sure, its not even one of her best, but hopefully you now have a sidebar of great songs….

hi @Thane15 and @purofillion  thanks for the thanks !

I’ll be honest – I have no idea what the “curry song” and “Duck song” are but…..

There is NOTHING wrong with Duck songs !

Now – the song I wanted to link to is Elegy of a Duck from Peter and the Wolf arr. by Oliver Nelson and played by Jimmy Smith.

However – every version seems to have…[Read more]

well, obviously we’re all waiting for Doctor Who and we’re waiting for the protracted “who will be the next who?” debate/media click-bait, but personally I’m looking forward to hearing the latest lyrical update to Bragg’s theme tune….

(I’ve posted the original before but y’know – I offer no apologies, its bloody…[Read more]

@thane15 and @missrori – not sure I can find happy music or even heartening music, but I am particularly childish and silly, so here’s something (especially as I won’t get a chance to post again till weekend).

As I say, I’m childish so am amused by Trump’s incredibly thin skin and how he’s so hurt by the “small hands” jibe.

Would it be an act of…[Read more]

So, I guess this makes sense

forgive me an appalling pun, but not such a happy monday, (though not quite “2016 you’re over – go away!”).

An excuse (for me at least) to listen to some great music that I rarely get into the mood to listen to – I shall overcome that darned ‘mood’ thing.

so, at one point, this made complete sense posting this today as I won’t get chance later.

;¬)

@Arbutus – wow, Autumn Leaves. Haven’t listened to that in years and so listened to it like it was the first time.
Made me stop, not twiddle with my phone, not read something else while listening, not watch the TV.
My mood matched the song, so thank you sooooo much!

@Missrori – I’m sure others have written better than I about the Doctor’s…[Read more]

@Thane15 – Don’t fear the Jazz…..

:¬)

Its a bit of a sprawling genre and I’m always wary of genres anyway (its a all a bit subjective). Also it tends to close off listening to music as “I don’t like [ x ]” (which I’ve done farrr too much!).

Kind of Blue is very smooth jazz (and brilliant) so here’s some other smooth-ish jazz you may or may…[Read more]
