@Whisht – yes. I always find it strange (not Jonathan Strange, just strange) how some people not only define ‘not my cup of tea’ as ‘an objective judgement of quality’, but will seemingly watch a ‘bad’ series week after week.

The only explanation I can think of is that they live in a household that doesn’t know what the pretty red button on the…[Read more]

@Whisht My eldest and youngest are watching Fringe as I type. I am resisting to temptation to go in and join them. I do like having a good supply of things to watch.

A friend of mine does a podcast on Sci Fi. Recently she interviewed Matt Smith. She has talked to Anna Torv of Fringe I think.

Cheers

@whisht has already posted a musical tribute to Ron Moody on the General Music thread, and mentioned that one of his regrets was that he turned down the role of the Third Doctor.

Well, to be honest I wasn’t born at the time the role was being offered, but I’m flattered you think I could have played it.

@whisht has already posted a musical tribute to Ron Moody on the General Music thread, and mentioned that one of his regrets was that he turned down the role of the Third Doctor.

A decade later than that decision, Ron Moody went on to appear in a TV Show called Into the Labyrinth which @wolfweed mentioned way back at the start of the first part…[Read more]

@Whisht

I think you’ve selected one of the greats for Ron, and liked the Ornette Coleman track as well.

I can imagine you not wanting to delve into Lee’s Metal works as you aren’t a fan of the style.

Instead, on this Friday night, let’s all select a refreshing beverage to toast all three. Name your poison! (This is the first time I hea…[Read more]

@Purofilion JS&MN is a story that defies easy description. It is somewhere between fantasy, alternate history, period drama with a fantastical twist. It draws upon ancient British fairy lore. Think not the prettified fairies of Spenser and Shakespeare. These are proper fairies, dark, disturbing and often menacing, not out of malice but because…[Read more]

Nice tracks from everyone. @lisa, I have to agree with @Whisht that the Dave Thomas piece is amazing. I have tried the accordion and simply can’t do it (too opposing actions at once, just couldn’t coordinate it), so the notion of playing accordion and something else simultaneously is mind blowing.

@TheKrynoidMan   Congratulations, enjoy your s…[Read more]

@Whisht   I’ve always been irrationally fond of Sweet Home Alabama! Not sure why as I’m not an especially big fan of southern rock. Except for Creedence.   🙂

Or maybe something more country? Or Fogerty’s solo hit, Centrefield (because, well, baseball).

@lisa    I think fondly of Viva la Vida becaus…[Read more]

@whisht  et al–

My election reaction song. The mighty Mr Cocker and possibly not suitable for those who dislike the sweary words….

Have to go with the Kristofferson original, as it is the version I grew up with!

Thanks, @Whisht, for this idea, it’s been great fun choosing and listening.

@Arbutus I love the great Duke ! I’ll have to dig out 1 of my favs to post at some point.
@Purofilion Thought about posting that tune but I’m happy that you did cause the Easybeats
were Aussies!
@Whisht Eno is terrific meditation music!
@FatManinaBox I think that Murray Gold’s music is totally genius!!
So for my Friday post apologies for…[Read more]

@Whisht    “Forever on my System”– that should be a song.

@purofilion    Well, it’s only Thursday morning in my world. You’re so advanced.  🙂 Everyone pour yourselves a glass of sparkling wine,  sit back, and get high-class.

Or, if you need something short and sweet, here’s the wonderful Donovan.…[Read more]

@whisht — surprised that this one hasn’t been selected, so I’ll be Prosaically Obvious Guy…

@lisa — awesome Thursday choices. Really good.

@Whisht It gets even better- check out some of the vid options that pop up at the end
of the Wednesday vid! The 1 with Lurch dancing with Wednesday is just too much fun for

@whisht — yes, I was going to go for the Undertones too. Great minds and all that.

But how about?

@Whisht for you and everyone – Since it is already Tuesday for some here
I’m posting the Tuesday tune = a classic from the 70’s

Hope there are some Moodies fans here 🙂

Just read that article @Whisht I share your sentiments. I pretty sure I read somewhere that Iannucci had expressed an interest in writing a Who script for Peter Capaldi.

Cheers

@arbutus — was tempted to go with that track actually. Good call.

@whisht — good to have you back btw. God Help The Girl are a kind of spin-off from Belle and Sebastian.

@lisa — that Bangles song has so many memories tied up in it for me. Enjoyed watching that again.

Hi again, @Whisht

Yeah, well the script is for television, so generally can send to Production companies or, if you have an agent (I don’t), send it to them and they can find a place for it, or not.

Because of the nature of this script, it would really only be a good fit for the BBC, which means I will submit to their Writersroom when the drama…[Read more]

@Whisht Of course its fun for me getting to share a little
daily musical treat with all the Who-sters

Stay tuned! Got some good melodies coming! 🙂
