There’s nowt wrong with the *thing* thing unless it is used to try to deflect something gratuitously offensive. No offence.

Yes, Twilight did test my faith in The Church of The Blessed Kendrick, but I rationalise it by accepting that no actor should have to apologise for taking a paying gig (and Kendrick has done a lot of experimental s…[Read more]

@Zeyra

Did you ever watch Les Revenants (the Canal+ series, not the movie of the same name)?

@zeyra: Sorry, my post should have read: The only one on your list I watch, is Sherlock. *blushes*

@zeyra   I think we’ll be getting answers to a few of your questions shortly.  The Doctor will find a way to work around, or even with, his disability — and he will have help!  He has taught Bill so well so far…

@zeyra

the box he has to … what’s the english word

Vault (like banks keep their money in).

@zeyra:

Rose is my favourite, closely followed by Bill. As for Doomsday – pass the tissues!  The music didn’t help either.

Have you seen the Doctor who concerts? There have been three. One in Cardiff, two in the Royal Albert Hall London. The first two were hosted by David Tennant, and the third by Matt smith. I can’t find out whether there has…[Read more]

@zeyra;

Well I liked it very much. The words summed up the incredible sadness  felt, for the Doctor – and for Clara of course. The most poignant moment for me, was when the Doctor  takes Clara’s hand from his face, and kisses it.  It was Peter’s idea, or so I read. The tears flowed, I don’t think I have ever cried like that over an episode of Do…[Read more]

so, at the top of this page I was admonished for the corruption of ears, minds and judgement.
(and lo, it came to pass…)

But that doesn’t mean I’m going to double-down and link to Throbbing Gristle or Butthole Surfers or whatever.

No sirree.

Instead, here’s some jangly geetar indie music (@Phaseshift – was still thinking of your 80’s/90’s…[Read more]

ooh – been away and missed so much….
@craig – Positive Vibes – really interesting the way the vocals are produced/ mixed (whatever the right term is!).
Weirdly when they first kick in in this sample I thought of Steve Reich’s Come Out* (which should not be danced to!)

Whereas Pokey made me think of Eno (that bugger again !!) Mea Culpa which…[Read more]

@zeyra

I am crying over fictionnal characters and fictionnal

That we do that is a testament to the power of good storytelling. It doesn’t matter what medium it is in – short story, TV show, big fat novel or song – good storytelling moves us because good stories are always written from truth so it doesn’t matter that the character is fictional. If…[Read more]

hey @zeyra (hopefully I have your name right this time – massive apologies!).
Thanks so much for all this music!
Loved Imagine Dragons – nice bit of stompy music !
(no need to be “so so sorry” 😉
Alex Doan was nice and epic too – reminded me of Nathan Fake

and I really liked the others.
This popped up…[Read more]

@zeyra I travelled alone and with friends and usually while travelling alone  I would make friends along the way who I travelled with for a time, when our respective paths ran parallel. There are benefits to travelling alone but there are also a lot of negatives. Aside from the greater freedom that travelling with a companion gives, (for a woman…[Read more]

ha ha ha @Thane15 – Puro I’m lmao as I did think Thane hated the Smiths (which I was perfectly cool with and quite glad in one way as its a definitive opinion).

That he got Johnny Marr’s brilliance (The Hollies!) rather than the whining of Morrissey, an absolutely brilliant response – well done that man!

I just don’t have the downer (pun…[Read more]

@zeyra

Your grand parents seems awesome!

Can’t see anything wrong with that. If it was me (and obviously I’m not you, so you do whatever you like) I’d focus how, when the doctor is alone too long, his moral compass can get a bit confused – and his fellow travellers have a long history of getting his feet back on the ground. Hmm. mixed me…[Read more]

@zeyra

Tricky.

In principle I can’t see a why not. But it does depend on how and where you are thinking of doing so, and what your teacher is looking for. That is, what’s the question/ topic?

And just for @zeyra the glorious Wizard Motor, by Mogwai. A Scottish band writing music for a French TV show (the opening 30 minutes of which remains as good a start to a show as I’ve seen).

@Whisht

@zeyra (not @zephyr)

And stop trying to corrupt @thane15 – besides, puro should already have inoculated him.

Seriously. Ian Curtis wrote about his own pain (and also wrote the best song to explain how to help someone with depression, already linked above). That Twat whined about how horrible everybody else is.

And to bleach o…[Read more]

@zeyra

At your age (I think you said 16, nearly 17?) I would be more worried if you didn’t daydream a bit and occasionally find yourself looking into the dark. We have a similar expression “head in the clouds”.

I get a bit full-on when it comes to fascism. Both my parents fought against it the last time it brought Europe to ruin, and I don’t w…[Read more]

@zeyra

You did nothing wrong and I totally agree with @Mudlark – the best way to defeat terror is to carry on living life to the full. The crazies really hate that.
