When are we all coming round for the party?
Tonight's good, we could celebrate stair mounting!
OK, on my way.....
(but I'm not in the mood for mounting anything!)
I can make a good party game out of almost anything.Quote:

Well , I set off to your party but got sidetracked to another party
I even had a conversation about BOFRA at the party. Is that weird?
Weird, you could always pop round tonight. I promise not to talk about commodes or BOFRA.Quote:

My friends bought me the Killers CD for christmas. I played track 2 so loud last night that my amp overloaded. Ooops....
I'm sat here now listening to Abba Gold..... :)
Abba, immaculate, of course:)Quote:

ABBA...erm unquestionably great but just a little girly for your recovery!
What you need is some real gut and gristle. A Beef and Brick Smoothie (copyright Clarkson). A smack in the chops with some real manly stuff.
What you need is....THIS! http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=DLEb6LDg3qE :cool:
OMG:eek::eek: Didn't think that sort of stuff was allowed anymore! Brilliant! Feel better already.Quote:

Recorded 2 weeks before the twiddlew**k from Colusseum - I was there, moshing in the crowd (can't see myself on the clip:()- best concert ever?!
Dancing around to that should work wonders for the recovery Toffer!!
Oh no! Not the old Prog/Punk argument again!!:rolleyes: Listen matey, guess who was all pally with Phil Collins at the Q awards this year?? Yup, good ole Johnny Lydon! The 'divide' never existed except in the warped minds of Paul Morely and his NME cronies! A routine term of entertainment for us in Uni would have been Ian Dury, Eddie and The Hot Rods and some Genesis washed down with local 'punky' bands like Tiger Bay. We ate a varied diet!
And lived to tell the tale (just!):D
Yup thats the one, good to relive a few memories though.
Fraid so... it'll never go away (and Mr Lydon has little to do with either p**k or music these days!)
Spent the early part of the seventies sitting in various insalubrious bedroons listening as friends tried to drown out the smell of socks and teenage testosterone by lighting a few joss sticks (man!!) and playing the 'fab' 'cool' etc new LP (or if lucky, double or triple!!) from Genesis, BJH, Gentle Giant or ELP (arrrrrggghhhhh:mad::mad:)
I'd politely tell them that these were, frankly, rather less good than they believed, and attempt to play them the MC5, Stooges, Pink Fairies, to general lack of interest - but I suspect I was proved right in the long run!! Give me 'Looking at You

Quick - over to BBC4
Prog Rock: Timeshift
http://www.radiotimes.com/images/key/key_c_cream.gif
Saturday 03 January
9:00pm - 9:40pm
BBC4
This 2004 Time Shift doc recalls a time when pigs flew and knights skated. DJ Bob Harris, Yes drummer Bill Bruford and Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett defend the much-maligned but musically adventurous genre, and reflect on the pomp that, for many, went hand in hand with it.
The Old Grey Whistle Test

ELP on Tour
Bob Harris introduces film of Emerson Lake and Palmer's 1973 Euro concert tour. Behind the scenes antics include Greg Lake falling prey to laryngitis in Vienna, Keith Emerson destroying a keyboard and Carl Palmer rehearsing the 1812 overture.
Carl Palmer presumably playing a solo version of 1812 - certainly didn't lack ambition!!! Roll over Tchaikovsky!!!!Wake me if I snore!!!
Untouchables on Film4 for me!
Well, I think messrs Peel and CSM argued my case extremely eloquently for me!! Loved Peels comments about ELP - at the end of the evening he was so overcome with emotion he had tears in his eyes - thinking this is bollox!!
Rock on - with 55mins of ELP coming next!!
It's a shame Oscar Hammerstein wasn't the first member? :D
Very droll - trying to think of a good answer but distracted by some long-haired twerp in the background with his moog turned up to 11!
It's funny you should say that. I was going to lob in this clip earlier,Quote:

Priceless - esp. with ELP in the background - and of course it led to this

Well, that was almost an hour of my life I'll never get back! Now onto Strange Fruit on BBC4 - not quite Spinal Tap but still worth viewing - "sometimes I make percussions on tinkerbells!"
It seems pretty good. A good cast?
Sorry -actually

Fans of the superb "mockumentary" This Is Spinal Tap will chortle at this 1990s British take on the theme, which has ageing rockers Jimmy Nail, Timothy Spall, Stephen Rea and Bill Nighy (along with roadie Billy Connolly) reforming successful 1970s group Strange Fruit to go on the road one more time. There are all the clashing egos, old grudges and bad rock numbers you'd expect, plus a deft script from comedy writers Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais, but the true plaudits should go to the performance of Nighy (as the narcissistic lead singer) and the strangely moving cameo from Bruce Robinson (writer/director of Withnail & I).
If you are pushing ELP as your prosecution against Prog, it won't wash coz they woz w*nk....as the OGWT film amply showed!:D If you want an even worse example, check out David Bedford. Simply awful. I never recovered from being exposed to 2 days solid of a Bedford LP playing on repeat in a locked room across the corridor in Uni hall...the owner had left it playing whilst he chased his tail in another part of hall.
And you can't beat the amphetamine rush of punk. This used to be a fave of mine http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=3Er9gt...eature=related
But you have to love the sheer bobbins eccentricity of http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=p_EYU7...eature=related
And if you want prog you can pogo to, try this! http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Xj-ZZc...eature=related
Which I think proves my arguement!!Quote:

She was hot - died two years ago - RIP
I have a strong suspicion that Strange Fruit are heavily based on Golden Earring! Radar Love! One of the best 70's tracks. Thanks for that.:cool:
You're welcome - BW1 Wheeze ?
And I hope you watched to the end - where the drummer leaps over his kit - classic rock moment!
