blimey! – so much to catch up on!

@purofilion – he he, yes I thought of Perpetuum Mobile – a live version is behind the link on my earlier post when I said “…its about time”.
You’ll have to get used to my terrible puns!

🙂

Hope you had a good sleep and feeling better today (and love the fact you played this as well!).

Now, to listen to…[Read more]

oops – just re-read my reply to @arbutus and realise that i edited out my bit about loving how you found a song called “Parallel Time” which includes a harpsichord! I wibbled on about it and re-wrote whatever it was, but then realise it never made it.

Personally I blame my distraction with the footy. Won’t happen again

🙂

hey @fatmaninabox – a brilliant Companion song!

“…My body may die but my heart will keep loving you baby
Oh, our love will survive the passing of time…”

(weird lyrics for the TV show though! But great to hear a bit of Jarvis again – will have to relisten on something better than crappy PC speakers!)

And @theKrynoidman (puro – no gaps!)…[Read more]

following (and frankly not-quite-following) all this is fun!

Based solely on the posts here (without, y’know, re-watching the episodes and giving it any deeper thought…..)

@Arbutus – when you describe something helping the Doctor and Wilf along the timelines, if you were to replace the word “Moment” with “Clara” then it would also make…[Read more]

he he @Arbutus – and there was me waiting for them to kick in with the DW theme…

;¬)

Well, I can’t pong with any harpsichord (at least nothing springs to mind) but the guitar playing does remind me of Fripp (although it also reminded me of Ed Alleyn Johnson from @Phaseshift ‘s very first music post on this thread!).

So, because the stars…[Read more]

@Marionziemke – welcome and might I say what a fine avatar!

🙂

Hi @Arbutus – I LOVE that you could improvise jazz and blues riffs underneath the other players on harpsichord! And don’t tell me that’s not exactly what was happening! My imagination is lit and I WANT to hear someone doing that!

In fact, though it isn’t a harpsichord, and isn’t jazz or blues, and is only slightly minimalist (if you squint with…[Read more]

Hi @javakate and welcome!!

Wow – I see you’re a fan of several Doctors including Colin Baker!

Well no one will hold it against you I promise, but head over to the Face of the Doctor thread and stand up for him (he gets a bit of a hard ride from some – especially anyone who lived through the inimitable Tom Baker!)

🙂

Hi @Arbutus – yep, spot on that’s the David James version from Triodion.

You play(ed) Hammond???!!??

[doffs cap, bends knee, puts palms on the floor and salutes, though admits its an awkward position to salute from]

and then nonchalantly says that you then had to play harpsichord…

That’s a ‘win’.

🙂

Thanks for the Dave Grusin – not…[Read more]

Thanks for that @thommck – I’ve now just wasted 2 hours on Buzzfeed!!

grrrrr buzzfeed with its amusing posts and uplifting-making-me-moist-eyed entries.

🙂

@purofilion In terms of the music – I actually first came across Oliver Nelson as an arranger (I’m one of those sad buggers who reads liner notes!).

It was on this amazing Jimmy Smith track as well as Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf (a version I can’t find on YT!) both on a cheap ‘best of’. As you say the shiny brass is just so clear as well as…[Read more]

Hi @purofilion – really sorry to hear about you having to get an ambulance! Hope you’re feeling a bit better today (going back into work?).

A friend of mine suffered from Crohn’s several years ago and was quite debilitated. Was laid up for months and lost a lot of weight (about 6 stone). He’s put it all back on now to his ‘normal’ overweight self…[Read more]

bugger – Who won Best Drama!

[grrrrrrr…. also I now realise I have loads of tunes I could’ve used for Matt…..]

(this may take a while…)

well – Congratulations Matt Smith! for “Best Drama Performance”.

Now, I’ve kinda shot my bolt with this choon as its absolutely delicious.

If Who wins anything else then I’m out of options (and any smart wag with a Cliff Richards link will be exterminated!)

🙂

@purofilion and @Arbutus

Please feel very very free to chat about any and all of that. I’m no mod but I won’t stop you!

😉

I’ve not studied music in any form, and I know that the below isn’t strictly minimal(?) or medieval, but emotionally it seems to resonate with me in a similar way. Happy to be told otherwise!

And just to emphasise how…[Read more]

Hi @purofilion – that interview sounds interesting (but a tad hard to find on YT just based on your tantalising clues!).

Something I noticed is on again tomorrow night on UK TV (and so a bit irrelevant to so many of the people here!) is the LCD Soundsystem concert film
Shut up and Play the Hits – Wednesday Film 4 1.20am.

Although vaguely aware…[Read more]

@Barnable – I surrender.

🙂

actually, weird as it seems (and believe me, what I’m about to say is as much a shock to me as it will be to you) I now understand what you’re getting at.

I’ll blame the headcold for not getting it up till now, and the lack of alcohol in my bloodstream for finally getting it!

I LIKE IT!

and entities that dont…[Read more]

Hi @Arjay – welcome!

And nice spot!

“Doctor – you’ve forgotten how to fly this thing??”

“erm no, it’ll come back, I think… what else do I need to do?”

“Doctor – you save people. Remember?”

“yes yes, that was the thing I was thinking of when I regenerated… I save people… that’s why I thought of this face…”

🙂

@Fatmaninabox – that is a thing of beauty!!

The line “some-how councillor” also raised a chuckle!

thanks

🙂
