What`s the last film you watched ?
^^ I adore that documentary - it really is everything that anybody interested wants it to be, isn't it. The industrial actian via t-shirts bit was a great insight into just how badly the latter end of shooting was descending into. My other rea…

Kate Bush - Before the Dawn (was the spoiler-free thread)
It's not the ticket price that'll make this impossible for many, it'll be the actual chance of getting a ticket! Just work out haw many rabid fans will want one or more considering there's a backlog of want since 1979 - that…

Two hours after seeing "Under The Skin" I'm still emotionally & mentally scrambled, maybe even more so than when it ended. Imagine if Kubrick at his most obtuse had done "Man Who Fell To Earth" and had it soundtracked b…

^^ It's singular, selfish, bloody-minded to it's aim and very much better for it. It's quite something.

Latest Purchase....
Wowser. Just tried to buy the Felt Mountain and Black Cherry 'little books' on eBay without success. Yikes. Let's just say that it's apparent that they're still VERY much in demand!

What are you listening to now?
Bowie - The Man Who Sold The World Arguably one of the greatest rock albums ever made ;) Absolutely! Between Visconti going in hard on the bass and enough twin guitar attack to keep Thin Lizzy and Maiden happy it's an unapologetic rock album …

Whatever happened to the Goldfrapp fans?
I know they were there up until at least the Supernature tour and I think (it's early and I'm yet to have my first cuppa) that they were also around on the Head First / Hits tour too? Maybe (in many ways) the newer stuff needs less bluste…

Miss Kitten - BatBox something I came across in a CD bargain bin and I rather like it (cost about 12p too ;)) Luuuuurrrrve that, especially Kitten Is High. Great choice! In fact, you might spot it somewhere in here....... ;) https://soundcloud.…

The birthday thread
Hadn't realised until I saw Laura's mention just now over in the GMB part of the Twitterverse. She's got a job interview this afternoon so I hope it turns out to be a lovely birthday gift for her one way or the other.

Of all bizarre but wonderful things out there I'm finally catching up with Matt Berry's "Kill The Wolf" prog-folk album from last year. Yes, that Matt Berry from the many, many wonderful comedy telly things. It's not a jok…

Exclusive! Drew - Clockwork Mix
Finally had chance to give it a listen - lovely stuff. Always nice to get a remix that is different to, yet still retains some sympathy with, the style/mood of the original.

"Making Of Tales Of Us" Video (Tales, MIF & films in 7 minutes)
It is, but at least now we can talk about it without alienating anybody! :D

First though... try turning the computer off and on again. That's an IT pro in action, right there! :D

It's a shame Will didn't make an appearance especially as this was a unique event =(( Looking at the film credits I think he was 174% concentrating on getting the sound mix right for the live show. Even if we didn't get to see him…

Awful BBC soap Waterloo Road just used the instrumental version of Jo as background music! Very dramatic!

Alison on Jools Holland, Radio 2 - March 10th @ 11pm
I hadn't scrolled down that far but, yep - it certainly has!

what a fluke this "live" film was
Exactly as stevil says and as I'd mentioned in the main thread as far as I can tell from other simulcasts I've attended and the one I was at last night the central stream out from the studios seemed to be fine or we'd have all had sim…

Have to echo a few other comments - that segue out of the films into the live set with Alison and her little bike was genius. Suddenly it was "Oooh, we're at the gig bit!" and away they went. Very nicely staged indeed.

I'm trying to remember everything whilst remembering nothing at all! It was incredible. .......We were sat on the balcony in front and to the left of Alison (if you had her POV) . There's a moment where you lot could be seen so if it eve…

Went to Glasgow Cineworld to watch. What a shambles. Started st 8pm, no films. Seen the live show then credits. Manager showed up 15 minutes later and said there had been 'technical' problems with the films. Not pleased. Seems very up an…

Well Vue in Oxford was moved from Screen 1 to screen 6. Don't know if it was smaller as never been there before. Max of 40 people in the place. Hope other places were better supported. It has to be released on DVD or something, whole thing was …

Loved it - made for a nice cosy night out....in. Or should that be night night in.....out? Aaaaanyway, it's amazing the way you spot things that have been starting you in the face. Only realised seeing it on the big screen about the salamand…

I'm only five Metro stops (15mins tops) from the cinema yet I'm itching to leave the house already. Argh! The other weird thing with a numbered cinema seat is not having to queue at all. It's all very odd.
