@bluesqueakpip – so is your theory that the Doctor has mind-wiped herself (or allowed herself to be mind-wiped)?

I’d go for that!

But still wonder if a choice needs to be made at the end, between ‘our’ Doctor and RuthDoctor – that a choice needs to be made ‘for the greater good’ (as you’ve suggested about Yaz) that changes the relative…[Read more]

So, For Fugitive of the Judoon, methinks Chibnall is again channeling his inner Kraftwerk.

Two Doctors you say?

So, I saw Fugitive of the Judoon last night and after reading the mainly positive comments will need to watch again. I guess my initial impression wasn’t ‘squee’ with reveals etc, but more exhaustion from the stream of ‘and now this!’ (Judoon! Jack! Cyberman riddle! RuthDoc!).
On re-evaluating one aspect (just now) I guess I’m a bit more ‘ok’ w…[Read more]

…. and later that evenin’….

(tbh I blame my sister although sadly I never appreciated her taste back when I was a kid)

So, its Saturday.

Get those glad-rags on!

(ok ok, basically this came on my walkman earlier today and I thought “gawd this is a lot better than I remember”)

So, I’ve managed to slog my way through a lot of backlog of music (though not the most recent ones)!

@Arbutus – awww Ella – smoky precision. And yes, I’m overly happy with that description. What tone.
@Craig – Maps is a great song; LOVED Mura Masa (reminded me of Sleaford Mods!).
@Phaseshift – that is an amazing mashup! I loved the Slayer one t…[Read more]

still need to catch up on loads of songs here!

But wanted to say well done to @jimthefish

This isn’t a great song (unfortunately) but the title at least makes sense

(but for a really good ‘doctor’ song then feel free to shimmy along to this!)

congratulations!

Just a shout-out to one of the most perfectly-cast roles I’ve seen recently.

There’s a show called The Tick (I’ve been watching it on Amazon).
Its silly.
Juvenile.
Daft.
Stupid.
Brilliant.

Not all the characters are perfectly cast.

But….

Take a bow Peter Serafinowicz!

He is completely awesome as The Tick and every second that…[Read more]

he he yes @peacefrog – that’s kinda’ve a classic!

;¬)

Here’s one (similar era) for the Fourth Doctor’s Birthday.

Happy birthday Tom

So, here’s one for Nikola Tesla’s Night of Terror.

But that’s just for my bonkers “all the episodes are linked to Kraftwerk songs” theory.

;¬)

Here’s a couple of very different ‘electric’ tunes.
Spiritualised’s is a bit of a roller (cruel edit at end)

and something maybe more cerebral from Reich…[Read more]

@peacefrog – wow, lots of music for me to catch up on!

Apologies I haven’t been around to listen or ping-pong back, but its obvious we have a lot of overlapping tastes (though I’ll admit to never yet getting into the Grateful Dead, so will listen to those songs to get inspired!!).

Will try and listen soon and try and ‘reply’ with songs.

:¬)

So, I enjoyed this one more than the previous episodes this series. Would have to watch again to see if its the writing, direction or casting/acting, but it was ok.

I can’t really add anything that anyone else has already said eg discomfort at lack of mindwipes when they were used before (though like most I think they’re problematic at best);…[Read more]

Hi @peacefrog – ah, Karen O. I like Yeah Yeah Yeahs but only have the first album (I think).
It reminded me (perhaps many things do!) of Mimi Goese when I saw her chanced upon this concert on TV ‘back-in-the-day’.
(memories of hearing one song and scrabbling around on the carpet looking for a VHS to tape it on! The rest of it was amazing too -…[Read more]

and this is for….

everyone

thank you

@thane16 – that’s a great version of La Marsellesa – and you’re right about the female choir needing more voices! But I loved the male singers barging in to begin with… and being barged back out.

Its a great, stirring song. A real puff-your-chest-out-in-pride rabble rowser.

And in no surprise to anyone who’s ever seen me post a song, here’s…[Read more]

So, the opener Spyfall had a motorbike chase.

That is enough of an excuse for these two slightly different songs.

and this which is (surprise!) very tender.

So Whisht, you haven’t commented on the episode.
[Whisht shakes his head]

Would you like to?
[Whisht looks uncomfortable with being asked about the episode]

Ok Whisht, its ok. Here’s a doll. Point to where the episode hurt you.

[Whisht points to the doll’s head]
Ah,
[Whisht points to the heart]
I see…
[Whisht points to the ears]
Hm, ok….

Hey @peacefrog – Thanks so much for posting so much music!

Always great to hear good choons – its a great Violent Femmes song and I do love the mixes on that Beastie Boys track and there’s even a Daniel Johnston cover!

@Arbutus – wow – Not heard Lau before and that’s really piqued my interest!
I really enjoyed how its folkiness is welded to…[Read more]

@pedant – my parents were economic migrants.
My dad caught the thick end of abuse.

Fuck off.

You called me an enabler of racism.

Fuck off.

I’ll listen to music and reply to that but fuck off.

Merry xmas

{sigh}
I can’t edit the end of my post so just to make clear(er)(er) I wasn’t saying that Blue used “they” arguments (at least if she did, I wasn’t referring to it).

I disagree with her arguments about Brexit for a number of separate reasons.
I was trying to reply to her previous answer to me, but her comments were written in a way that I needed…[Read more]
