head-butt @bluesqueakpip?

I think I’d be more fearful of either the cut-throat razor or bike chain under the collar…

but of course, the Doctor doesn’t fight…. (so do we think Ray Winstone may be the new male Companion??)

oh and @arbutus I LOVE the cow osng and chicken songs!

and you even had a chicken song without resorting to the Muppets!

Well done you (as you can see, I couldn’t!)

😉

@Arbutus – ah, coldplay. I’ll admit that I have a problem with Coldplay and that problem is mainly Elbow.

Elbow do what Coldplay do, but so so so much better. I just trust Guy’s singing more than Chris’.

I don’t have a favourite Elbow song, but a song about ‘leaders’ reminds me of course of Leaders of the Free world.

However, for under 2 mins,…[Read more]

he he @Purofilion – yeah, sorry, that noise needed a health warning. I had to listen to a few YT videos even to get that one!
But I do love something done very very well, and he really does control the noise well. Its also the ‘most’ of a thing done well that you could want (if that makes sense).

he he – Crombie, DMs…. Teddy Boy or Mod?

either way, monsters are in fer sum bovver

🙂

Just wanted to say thanks for all the social background! Honestly, it adds to my enjoyment of this!

Not seen QatP before in either film or TV versions (or at least I don’t think so). I have seen a Quatermass before (can’t describe it without giving it way) but don’t think it was this.

Yes, its slow which will be even more glaring when I turn on…[Read more]

@ScaryB – you’re back! and you brought us Monkeys vs Donkeys! Well whatever would we have done without hearing that!
Remarkably it made me think of something to share (though no one will thank me).

Ok, to set the scene – back in mid-90’s I went along to an “Arts event” in London that I knew nothing about except that Otomo Yoshihide would be…[Read more]

@serahni – wow certainly dramatic story-based songs!
Nothing springs to mind in that emotionally wrought style, but will give it a think…!

and yep – that last one got me up – thanks!

🙂

ah @fatmaninabox – of course bonzo……..

and I’m so glad you gave us stuff which wasn’t the usual (but brilliant( Canyons of your mind )

loving Jollity Farm btw!

oh – btw @Arbutus, when I say “harp” I mean harmonica.

[slightly embarrassed smiley]

I play it very very poorly (mainly as I play it very very rarely! though that’s appreciated by the neighbours!)

And thinking of the neighbours, can you imagine someone playing harp listening to this on headphones so all the neighbours hear is the odd parp and…[Read more]

ah @Arbutus and @purofilion – in terms of linking its something lots of people have had problems with and the forum has tried to explain it on the Help page. Could I ask a favour? Could you see if that helps in making links?

If it doesn’t then its because it isn’t written clearly enough and that means other people are also being prevented from…[Read more]

btw @purofilion – my knowledge of music is thin. Really thin.

I love this thread for expanding my knowledge of music and bands and making me reappraise bands. “rubato – stealing time!” – I’ve now listened to some Chopin but not sure if I’m hearing it but the comments on YT are instructive! “too much rubato!” “Chopin hated rubato!” “ah beautiful…[Read more]

ah @arbutus – I missed your post as I was (slowly!) typing!

Good luck with Trout Mask… I’ve still not done it in one sitting!

But love Devo! Well, some Devo! aw, I’m relying on Best Ofs I’m afraid!

As for moshing… well, I’m 42 but I did a bit of very ‘gentle’ moshing back in the day. Me – I never had a bad experience. I basically kept a…[Read more]

ah @purofilion – I’d like to give you a big hug and say “stop worrying!”

Though not in a cravat-wearing-way. [ahem]
Just…. this is the great thing about meeting new people. You have sooooo much you can tell me about music and stuff. For goodness sake you played Music for a Found Harmonium for fun!!

Captain Beefheart is someone who made some…[Read more]

@arbutus – that Amestoy Trio track is great isn’t it? And (unfortunately) better than other stuff I’ve heard from them (it was on a compilation of ‘world music’ or somesuch but seems like a well chosen highlight from them!)

and psychobilly – oh you MUST you must. And was it Puro who said she liked the audience.. well, there’ll be some moshing…[Read more]

@purofilion – why would Ten(ant) not have a guitar?

🙂

though actually I’m sure Capaldoc was in a band* many many moons ago.

*warning – this is not very good. At all. Honestly. Really.

Not at all.

Honestly – he’s better at drawing.

@Arbutus – after reading this

“a marvelous ensemble consisting of banjo, drums, accordion, tuba, trombone”

I have had a rather big grin on my face all day wanting to hear it!!

Fantastically it was not what I imagined!!

I had thought to reply with ‘have you heard this which has tuba on it (on something I hadn’t imagined would have…[Read more]

Hi @purofilion – erm, well a little creepy but luckily we’re all friends here so you dream about whatever you fancy!

😉

(but where you’re getting cravats and shiny coat tails from I’m not entirely sure – spoilers on the new Dr’s outfit??)

🙂

erm, ‘sweet’ dreams…..

“morning” @purofilion (well, its morning for me!)
To be honest, I’d not heard the term before either so did a search and found this definition.

To be honest coloriot may have meant something totally different (and if so I’m sorry coloriot!) but it did sound interesting that Who may have (or at least may seem to have) more female fans than…[Read more]

Hi @coloriot – well that’s an introduction and a half!

🙂

Feel free to talk about how you got into Who on the Memories thread or your favourite Who, and if you make music then head over to the Music thread and just dive in with whatever! and really, whatever you fancy!

btw – do you really think of Who as a ‘girl’ (“brony”) thing? Fine if you…[Read more]
