Ha, ha. Enjoyed that. I went to Tombstone a couple of years ago and the gravestone epitaphs there are funny. One of my favourites: Here lies Lester Moore 4 slugs from a 44 No Les no more. Really must start that funeral songs thread.

Mara Carlyle
Mara's version of Ex Factor by Lauren Hill performed at St John's church, Hackney for the Child Hope charity. Featuring the choir and church organist Annie Lydford, this version gives a fresh interpretation of this song and is so delicate,…

^ A bit like your life???? No, like most people's life. You come in naked covered in slime, you make what you can of it for a brief few years and then you check.out, hopefully not quite so traumatically and covered in blood as you came in. Sorr…

Battlefield 4 looks as though it's just a mess of noise and nastiness. A bit like life then ?

I bet when they roll out the (stereotype) Scots Guards band it is not even really Midnight ! Hoots Mon ! What's next? Donald where 's me Troosers? There's a Moose loose about this Hoose? (With Mr H tinkling away on the keys of course)

RIP
Today would have been Jimmy Hendrix's 72nd birthday. Tuesday was the 23rd anniversary of Freddie Mercury's death. Both true greats, both sorely missed. Those were they days of our lives !

What`s the last film you watched ?
Mrs T would like to add 'Hot Tub Time Machine' as a contender for best ever (?) film title.

Recent and upcoming gigs
;I got to speak with her afterwards. That doesn't happen at the O2 or the RAH! Oh, it does occasionally. I met both Mara and Will at the RAH gig !

Most nations have a dark past they would rather forget. Hell, the Brits invented slavery, then were pivotal in abolishing it ! Sidedown

Me to Low. In fact, I have never seemed to pick up the video game/ on line game bug. I could only take 30 minutes of Space Invaders/Breakout at the pub. That's showing my age! I did take to Pinball for a while but, ultimately not cerebrally cha…

Will digital music kill the album? And is that good?
Some of those 'fillers' are great by the way. When Black Sabbath recorded the album Paranoid, they got to the end and the engineer said, 'we've got about 4 minutes left and we still do not have a single' (probably in a broad…

Will digital music kill the album? And is that good?
This does resonate in a way with the thread about vinyl. In the 'good ol days', you had to buy an artists whole album, the whole 'concept' as the artist invisaged it, usually prompted by a single release. Sometime, albums were al…

We revere the animal, both alive and when dead. We think they grace our cabinets with their presence. Introducing Gregory (Peccary). He will be immortalised in an oil painting in the next few weeks. What pig could wish for more ! ( Mr and Mrs Appy…

We have two dead crows out in the garden. In the cupboard under the BBQ! :P

I had a break time ramble through our Nature Area by my thoughtful solitary self the other day ( it was last Monday I think, before the RAH do) and I came face to face with a shy little muntjac. It was a Hello Deer moment and I read heaps into it! …

I'll wait for the brain implant. You have no soul. We already know that. Welcome back. Been sort of quiet from you of late. Out of interest, can you see the vids uploaded to YouTube from RAH or are they not available to be seen in the colonie…

Where is your soul man? You can't smell and lick a 24/96 download ! Sounds selfish but since i have all the vinyls already i kinda like how limited they are (at least the early albums), and like you said a re-release will just cancel that out :…

Where is your soul man? You can't smell and lick a 24/96 download ! I recently bought the first four Led Zep albums on 180g pressings, all with extra material, even though I have the originals. I don't have a copy of FM as yet, so looking…

We can only hope! I have an original BC vinyl copy, so will be an interesting back to back comparison. There is a possibility that these 'repressings' may not go back to the original master tapes ( as this takes a high degree of skill on …

Just the old supply and demand graph I suppose. Interesting thing is that as soon as Mute release these back on vinyl, the value of those albums out there will plummet. Just the possibility of their release will suppress the value of existing albums…
