@whisht

so is your theory that the Doctor has mind-wiped herself (or allowed herself to be mind-wiped

It may have been voluntary – something an earlier Doctor felt was necessary. Or, given that the Master seemed to be horrified by what he’d discovered (and we’re talking the Master, here), so horrified and angry that he destroyed Gallifrey – it…[Read more]

…and that made me think of this.

Which is completely forgotten and underrated.

Everything the Doctor knows is a lie so…Truth be known.

Pear Jam is the backing band on this entire record.

@arbutus @mudlark @whisht @thane16

I think I might be on to something here…

Timeless Child equals a Child in Time?

Maybe not.

You guys do realize that it was me in the “It takes you Away” episode. The BBC blew their budget on fancy new cameras and big name guest stars.

Couldn’t afford to get their first…[Read more]

But first I have to take care of my new friends…anybody that I’ve tagged thank you so much and I’ve probably left out somebody. Sorry if that was you. I’ve been up since 4am trying to shovel all of this ice out of my driveway. We have a good 3 inches of a slushy m…[Read more]

I was there for this. It was as wild as it looks.

By the end of the riot, the cops brought out the firehoses.

They maybe got through not even half of their set.

Place was brand spanking new when this happened. Owners sold the place not long afterwards. They rebuilt…[Read more]

Can either of you tell me why this song was not a big hit off of this record?

I mean Eddie is going nuts here, the riff is better than “You Really Got Me”, I think.

@thane16  @mudlark  @whisht   @arbutus

Great minds think alike because I was on my way here to post this. Dr. Demento anyone? These are both from his show.

Also…this! Can’t believe I found this one. God, I remember watching this when MTV first showed it back in the early 80s. Talk about bringing a smile to some…[Read more]

@whisht

Worth it for the title alone. Many thanks indeed….

@mudlark @thane16 @whisht

And the Nobel prize goes to….

This guy.

Congratulations this guy…. you get it.

He gets it folks…. the maker of this video gets it, a big round of applause for this guy.

@whisht

I’ve managed to wrest the Forum from The Younger who’s in argument mode. Awesome, I second @arbutus, the  Kraftwerk connection is solid & you’ve sold me. Brilliant.

I loved this episode too. It has a ….different focus than previous episodes. To me, at least.

Also @arbutus thank you for the lovely Lau. It’s inspirational & the be…[Read more]

@thane16 @whisht

Yes, I do love Phil Ochs and yes I’m a proud liberal.

This probably all leads back to this guy so…cut to the chase.

@whisht @thane16

It’s a classic in my book, but you can never tell what somebody else’s musical background is like. As you can see, mine is all over the place.

I was hanging out with the Metal heads, the Goths, the skateboarders and the stoner burnouts all at the same time.

Getting back to something @mudlark and I were discussing. I just…[Read more]

I agree @missrori that the ending was lovely. It reminds me that even now, with all the challenges facing the world, there are forward-thinking, inspired people with ideas that might just take us into a better future!

Oh, and nice research @whisht on the Kraftwerk connection!

@whisht @thane16 @arbutus

Hmm…I watched the episode last night and besides really liking it overall, my favorite part was when Graham called Edison and Tesla “AC/DC”.  😀

I put on my finest thinking cap and then had to toss it when it caught on fire from the very stuck and grinding gears in my head. Thankfully I’ve slightly recovered since…[Read more]

@whisht @thane16

No worries, if I’m posting too much music too often could somebody let me know. Not sure of protocol on these forums.

Until then….

Those Dead songs are from their early “Psychedelic” period. They changed into a Americana/folk band soon afterwards. Crosby, Stills and Nash were a big influence on these next ones from…[Read more]

These two bands always remind me of each other. Not an exact match in musical style, but in musical spirit they are congruent.

Sad news for fans of American folk music, David Olney passed away peacefully on stage during a performance at a festival in Florida last night. It was reported that he collapsed on stage but fans said that the singer said “I’m sorry” and lowered his head.

Never dropped his guitar.

This is what the l…[Read more]

Colony in Space – Quick Summery

Hello there young Thane,

I think you are ahem….”dead” on with your thoughts about what your Mom would say. 😃

It’s 4am here and I should be asleep but when duty calls, I must be there to be a new version of  the Merry Pranksters. I must spread the message… The good word, if you will.

If you enjoy the Grateful…[Read more]

I don’t want to “hippie” it up too much in here.

But I thought @thane16 might like this one.

See if you can recognize the sound of a gyroscope being used on a piano wire to create a sound that probably didn’t even exist at the time.

This whole ablum is worth listening to.
