@thekrynoidman – good work with the Lola link.

Some nice riffs too. Here’s one that has an instantly recognisable riff but I was looking for something from the last 20 years so chose this instead!

@Arbutus – to be honest I’ve been listening to a lot of live (recorded) stuff – especially by Bjork and…[Read more]

@takemetomyraggedyman – to be honest I thought that was a picture of the actress on first glance!

Excellent – guessing the labcoat is next?
Hope you’re enjoying the forum – why not plunge in and let us know about your favourite Doctor(s) on the Faces of The Doctor thread!

@Juniperfish

“Have we seen his sonic yet?”

And just when I thought that there wasn’t going to be any smut in the Tardis and then you come along…

😉

ah @TheKrynoidMan – they are indubitably great riffs.

Hopefully someone (other than my osteopath) can explain why my head rocks back on the Peter Green/Fleetwood Mac track. Every other one my head rocks forward on to hit the beat but that one my head rocks back.
Maybe just a thing tonight…

Oh and as I mentioned to @Arbutus I prefer the version…[Read more]

ooh best guitar riff of all time this week – excellent!

Well it is great. No denying.

I’ve already linked to Roxette by Dr Feelgood so won’t embed again (though it is a great hook – less is more?!?).
Also I’m always slightly scared that the lead singer will actually beat me up. (eg I’ve heard no stories that they never got paid).

Interestingly…[Read more]

Hi @Purofilion – Happy Birthday!!

Sorry I’m late to the party!

As I am late I thought I’d do the obvious thing.
Yes, I thought I’d list every UK Number 1 from the 80’s for your birthday (ie Number 1 around July 28th)

There was an obvious ‘winner’ to embed but they’re all…. classic?

🙂

Odyssey – Use it up and wear it out (huh? oh… that…[Read more]

excellent to hear the first day went well @FatManInABox !

You do know of course that you could easily have a series on BBC or Channel 4 themed around Fat Man in a… for a couple of series at least?

Fat Man in a Seedbox, Fat Man in a Shed, Fat Man in a Hothouse… you could get Simon Fisher-Becker to guest or provide ‘expert’ advice (on stuff he…[Read more]

@Purofilion – really sorry to hear that the Crohns will keep you from travelling later in the year. Hope its not too bad at present.
December’s unpredictable (as is all English weather!). Best for them to pack for rain and sunshine!
As for footy, sounds like a divided household if there’s a Spurs fan and an Arsenal fan!
There’s a couple of…[Read more]

I loved this serial. Great 2-parter!
Definitely think the Malus could be explored in the future – that almost-gargoyle in the Tardis as it turned its head was very creepy!

This is the first time I’ve seen Turlough – I have no memory of seeing him as a kid.
As a companion he’s interesting in that he’s similar to the Doctor. When he’s with…[Read more]

Thanks @janetteB – to be honest I still feel like I just went off on one a bit and that’s unfair of me. @Bluesqueakpip is far better at critiquing!
Also, I should have put this on the BO part2 comments – apologies to anyone if I put a spoiler in my rant!

oooookkkaaaayyyyyy…….

prompted by @JanetteB I’ll post my thoughts – well what I can remember as I lost my notes while I watched back a few weeks ago.

However, I believe I have an idiosyncratic dislike of this serial, so in no way do I think I’m being ‘fair’, but… thankfully this isn’t the only serial!

Now, I really dislike the sound of…[Read more]

Hi @JanetteB – you’re absolutely right in that contrasting views make for great conversation, debate and even good arguing (“arguing without a capital ‘A'” as it were).

However, I din’t post about Black Orchid because I have a feeling my dislike of it is probably due to idiosyncratic reasons.

But… I’ll post my thoughts over on the BO thread.

eek!
