@Debs – you and me both!

and I hope you’re not expecting this old fogey to have any new indie music do you?????

🙂

Actually, knowing that I should get newer music and having asked for it myself here before, I tried looking at my Last.fm recommendadtions. Unfortunately nothing too new, but while listening to not-very-good-stuff I came across…[Read more]

erm thanks @purofilion – but asking for three great songs is great (it was my brother’s idea so no credit to me!) but Phaseshift mentioned “songs which inadvertently reminded you of Doctor Who” which is different in a massively wonderful tangential way (so wonderful in fact that I daren’t take credit for it!!).

Honestly, songs which while they…[Read more]

ah – thanks @Wolfweed – actually, I did see that one, but was looking for an orchestral version from the movie (which may not exist! Maybe I’m misremembering the film! I’m not even sure if I’ve actually seen it!).

[btw can anyone else hum or whistle that theme without lapsing into Danny Boy?
or is it just me? 😉 ].

And @Phaseshift – I honestly…[Read more]

oh @arbutus, thanks but I don’t warrant anything. 🙂

When you mentioned coming ‘home’ I thought of “Going Home” from Local Hero (the Scottish contingent weighed heavily on my mind – and sense in terms of Time is allowed to be a bit timey-wimey here!).

But on hearing the first strains for the first time in years, I thought of Shenandoah.

I…[Read more]

aha! @fatmaninabox – you are a gentleman for not wanting to hurt our ears (and weirdly I almost went with Fade to Grey but was a bit weird with me ‘coming back’!)

and @Phaseshift – indeed, another that I couldn’t think how to link (and there’s me thinking I was the most tenuous thread-finder here!!).

As for me holiday, it was both excellent and…[Read more]

@Scouttheairedale – awww, really sorry to hear this.

As others have said, you look after your Mum.

“and…..[click] you’re back in the room!”

blimey, feels like ages since I was here!

Someone mentioned New Romantics and then forgot to post a link (naughty @fatmaninabox )

so here is the only New Romantic song that I can think of with a barely Who link.

🙂

ok – heading off to bed then up in a few hours and flying.

So, will leave with a couple of tracks (but it’ll be a month before I know what you thought of them!).

Above (yeasterday?) I think I was saying to @Arbutus that I’d been listening to more (recorded) live music and here’s one that I’ve had on a few times. First time I heard it, I thought…[Read more]

Hi @Phaseshift – he he, maybe, though a cameraphone photo from my phone could be a tad underwhelming (its not a great camera).

However I will think of people here and if I see anything I’ll give it a snap!

Now, really must pack!

aw cheers @janetteB and @fatmaninabox – I’m sure I can take the “whisht isn’t going to be around – hooray hooray” in the right way…

😉

I should’ve mentioned going away (ie ‘don’t worry, I haven’t just had a birthday and suddenly lost contact’) on the Sofa rather than here, so thanks for keeping it Music related!

hey Puro – you know how to link text.
I know you do… if you remember how you managed to embed then just go back and see if it makes sense (though I’ll admit its hard to explain without pictures!).

however, your nerves about Saturday may be starting and that’s all it is!

As I said, you’re jumping out of an aircraft, whereas I’m planning on…[Read more]

@Craig – cheers!
Jesus and Mary Chain – they’re a band I really didn’t get into and can’t figure out why. Especially as I was into other Indie music at the time.
Fantastic to hear this – simple and poignant. Yet another prompt to dig out more of their stuff (it worked with LCD Soundsystem – I’m now enjoying their album Sound of Silver!).

Thanks…[Read more]

wow – can I just say thank you to everyone who posted some ‘birthday’ songs!

I feel rather humbled (and no longer hung over), but also I hope everyone’s enjoying all the choons people have been posting (as they usually would of course!).

There’s quite a few to get through and methinks I’ll have to make a longish post so that I won’t dominate the…[Read more]

Hi @Arbutus and @Monochromedimension – interesting thoughts on regenerations….
Arbutus – not sure if you read this, but its from a blog called Brain Pickings written by Maria Popova, and she mentioned yesterday the very thing you’re referring to when you talked about the ‘different you’s’ over time.

A sentence in the entry really stood…[Read more]

@purofilion – yes, am a bit drunk and squiggles are happening away from the screen too!

but still ok to correct my misspellings (as soon as that goes, everyone should ignore my outpourings!)

Your (initial) list made me laugh – thankyou!!

[just how did you know that’s make me laugh??)

🙂

Will listen to yours now (in an hour or so) too!

;¬)

ahh, @Craig – thank you!

I am celebrating – why wouldn’t I also be celebrating here??

😉

However, drink has been taken and so I will (or at least should) be refraining from posting anything from now on (my god, how many times did that take to type before the red squiggles of mistyping disappear??!?).

But I will listen to that (those) later/…[Read more]

Now – I’m going to be cheeky.

I’m going to be off-topic (what do you mean “this thread has no topic??!”)

And… I’m going to be cheeky.

As I mentioned once before, my brother is far smarter than I and instead of “what are your top 5 songs?” (I have 100 songs in my top 10), suggested “What are the 3 songs you’d like to hear right now?“.

So, its…[Read more]

y’now @thekrynoidman at first I thought “wha? are you mad?” and then the strings beneath the dumb-fast piano became stronger and I thought “hm, maybe…”

Unfortunately, me being able to hum, and say “hm, maybe” and “yeah the bit where it goes da da te da but then goes down rather than up” is hardly much use to man nor beast.

If any of the more…[Read more]

Hi @FaeGrl and @MonochromeDimension – apologies if I’m butting in and you already know, but there was a “watch week-by-week” of Ghostlight a few months ago.

You can see episode 1 here along with people’s thoughts. Might be interesting to add yours if you haven’t already!

And I don’t think I’m spoiling anything, if I were to say that this serial…[Read more]

@scouttheairedale

[facepalm]*

* Thanks for telling me though I think it may be another cover of this Floyd-era Quo that I was remembering, slightly heavier…
