@madman1nabox – huzzah!

A bonkers theory!

And I don’t care if its not yours/ some have heard it before etc…. you brought it so fair play!

And it made me think of a song, so I’ll head over to the Music Thread.

oh – and a welcome! Hello.
As with all newcomers please feel free to say hello through threads like the memories thread, sofa,…[Read more]

…of course if Bill is from the recent past (eg 80’s or 90’s) then that will sit very well with the possible UK 20-30 age viewers who are currently in that particular retro vibe…

[oops – takes off London-based focus-group hat]

{cough}

as you were.

(oh – btw this is not a slur on her, the casting or anything. Maybe a slur on…[Read more]

For what it’s worth @craig, yep kill th PM function as it seems more hassle for you (at least for now).

I guess what they do is register then pm the most recent posters.

Maybe I’m just feeling lonely therefore for posting this particular post….

Does anyone know whether the character name is chosen before the actor is auditioned?

Just curious if the choice of actor inspires the character’s name.

well, according to her own site, this is the new companion.

Who’d a thought?

@pedant – ah, thanks for that.

It prodded me to actually find out if that was George’s son on guitar at the back – and it was.

His look of joy at what Prince was doing was what made me like it as much as anything – just joy in the performance.

And yep – I’m kinda guilty of liking what I’ve heard of Petty’s (like this single), but never going…[Read more]

btw @puroandson I was away this week and didn’t get chance to change my rambling ‘songs for Scion’ entry.

What I was trying to say was that actually at 14, 15 for me it wasn’t coming across ‘the classics’ that had an affect, as it was coming across anything and everything!

At that age I was probably lucky in that although some of the stuff I was…[Read more]

@pedant @puroandson

The words “nailed it” just oozed from Prince at the end.

Its a kinda “I’m-gonna-effing-own-this” away from all the other reverential players, but today, I kinda like that.

oh for the love of god.

Really?

And it seems hard to find any music online…. (sigh).

Guess I’ll have to dig out something – maybe When Doves Cry

@puroandson

a list a list!! Yes!

My taste “eclectic” ? – thanks but its closer to ‘eratic’. Though actually I reckon that I’m not as different as I used to like to think I was…. (I fear all my pseudo tendencies).

Ok, so what can I add…..?

Well, you’ve been given loads of “classics” and I can’t argue with any of them. Though as its…[Read more]

Hey @Arbutus – thanks for that!

Yep, just scraping Family Guy out of my brain now…. (actually I love Family Guy!).

I’m really glad you posted that as hearing that on headphones makes me realise just how amazing that song is – its bonkers!
The production is really raw, the people playing it are going at it full tilt… they’re not holding a…[Read more]

Just thought I’d post some bird-related songs.

Well, why not?

So here’s one from Elbow (where the birds were witnesses rather than the ones being watched)

and here’s a ditty from Mercury Rev. I hadn’t heard this for a long while, so glad I looked through for…[Read more]

Thanks @puroandson – Happy Easter to you both too!

And everyone else of course!

@Mudlark – glad to hear you have a date for the op. Good luck with it – my mum had 3 hip ops and each one improved her mobility massively.

(now now people, no, she didn’t have 3 hips, that’s just being silly…..)

🙂

Hi all – yep, been lurking but nothing much to add to all the conversations so….

A few people talking about companions, so here’s one I haven’t done before.

Oh I’ve done Rose within the music-for-companions before, but not this one (mainly as its not that good in terms of appropriateness but as a…[Read more]

I honestly can’t believe that anyone would remember my birthday and then that they would send me a song.

I am absolutely humbled.

Having a stalker is a truly fantastic birthday gift.

;¬)

Now, @puroandson and @arbutus – you really have given me some fantastic birthday tunes (and I am humbled) and now I owe you both.
Though am I reading too…[Read more]

@puroandson – wow, thank you!

yes, it is my birthday this week (how the hell did you know that!??).

;¬)

Post music – even if I don’t like it, so what?? others might and if not….. so what!?

oh, and as for Tories….. yes.

They do tend to fuck you one way or another.

Completely not important, but thought I’d change my avatar.

The one I had was an image I made years ago (that I clumsily pasted a fez on).

Fez’s are sooooo last regeneration.

So instead, a thing I found on one of those old adverts in the back of comics, that I think sums me up (or at least how I would like to sum myself up).

We’ll see how…[Read more]

been missing in action of late, so I shall amend for my tardiness and suggest a couple of songs for ‘stuff’.

I cannot believe that I haven’t linked to this before (so apologies if I have!).
A song for the Doctor. He has had many adventures here, but perhaps thinking about Amy and Rory, maybe he’s re-evaluating how he thinks of…[Read more]

ah, that might have been my suggestion @blenkinsopthebrave

I’m neither ‘for’ or ‘against’ Chibnall, but as the list of episodes is quite short, I’ll be interested what other ‘watches’ it leads to (or is this year I actually finish my boxset of Fringe and open up Twin Peaks? Thank goodness for Oxfam!).

I’m vaguely interested as to what kind of…[Read more]
