I had to post this as I've had the tune in my head all day especially the lyric:-


"I've been up all night again

party time wasting it's so much fun".


And I haven't heard it in years and I've lost my copy of the album and it's a bloody great song.


Roxy Music - Mother Of Pearl

dans le sac vs scroobius pip offering a free download of "Message from God to Man", good stuff.

"It was You that invented bombs, and the fear that comes with them

And it was You that invented money, and the corrupt economic systems

You invented terms like just-war and terms like friendly fire

And it was You that didn?t know when to stop digging deeper, when to stop building higher

It was You that exhausted the resources I carefully laid out on this earth,

And it was You that even saw these problems coming but accredited them little worth

It was You that used my teachings for your own personal gain

And it was You that committed such tragedies, even though they were in my name"

It's Keith Richards 64th birthday today and seeing as he is a national treasure and a hero of mine I felt the need to put this up. This isn't what you'd normally hear from him, just Keith and an old piano, doing some nice Hoagy Carmichael with cool pictures too.


Happy Birthday Keith.


The Nearness Of You/Sing Me Back Home

I was thinking today about how gerry and sylvia Anderson are so well known for the imagery and marionettes of thunderbirds et all.

There was a ting on about them on bbc4 this evening. Yet again nobody makes mention of how brilliant the soundtracks were.Sure theres some cheese in there but also some very cool experimentation, to really set the scene. A mr Barry Gray.Did it all. Much of this was pre synthesizer and is spine tingling at times.

Without doubt the 60's dr who soundtracks where the best thing ever,such a miss hit with the modern day dr who's.

check Delia in action, the lady who made that theme tune happen back in the day. oh, whatdoyaknow. video unavailable..

Delia Derbyshire. A hero. Ron Grainer wrote it, just the melody. She assembled the whole thing out of tape loops. Early doctor who's soundtrackwise, are works of art. Most bbc radiophonic wworkshop audio was. But, check captain scarlet also for great instremental moments of tension.

Oh and the use of bongoes also. Thunderbirds bongoes are really funny. They really work. Totally ripped off in James bond movies, if you ask me.my 10p.

The beeb broadcast a documentary about the Radiophonic Workshop sometime last year, should be easy enough to rustle up on your p2p app of choice, or failing that http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=OIkgYiSIfQE has some clips, at some point the show showed exactly how they made up the Dr Who theme amongst others.

yes its was quite awesome and will no doubt be repeated. you tube seems to have censored all the clips that were up. I did a wee search. http://www.audiomastermind.us/2005/12/03/alchemists-of-sound-1-hour-video/ The bit i was going to put up here, is where she demonstrates how to make a rythmn with a few tape recorders and tape loops.

Its gobsmacking. She matter of factly just..does it as shes talking. yet its pure skill that only someone who does it daily can be so accurate with.

Alchemists of Sound is the docu to watch.

howdy Shu.

    • I personally think is a great idea Bobbly and would love if there was a section for it. I wouldn't offer free gardening under the "for sale" section as I would expect something in exchange and wouldn't expect our cat being looked after for free under the "wanted" section, as an example.
    • Looking for used decking boards. Should be hardwood
    • I have fond memories of Govinda's I used to go there  back in the 90's (maybe earlier) for an affordable tasty lunch..I was wondering if its still around. Now I have to make a point of going there. Does anyone else remember a really affordable basement cafe run by the church in a street off of Golden Square? parallel to Regent Street? I also used to love the Vegetarian cafe on Neal Street in the basement (Neal Street Cafe?) and there was an inczredible inexpensive authentic Japanese resturant I use to go to with my Japanese friends (who introduced me to it) tucked away behind Long Acre where that brown brick modern building ('modern' I think it went up in the 90's!) now stands that fronts Long Acre and Neal Street..I think it was called Asakasa or something?
    • I wonder where he could be deported to, Hungary the obvious candidate in Europe, perhaps he would get on well with Modi?   Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage both said Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood should look at whether Abd El Fattah's citizenship could be revoked to enable his swift removal from the UK. Farage said in a letter to Mahmood: "It should go without saying that anyone who possesses racist and anti-British views such as those of [Mr Abd El Fattah] should not be allowed into the UK." So just racists views are ok Nige?
