The SW TFA score. A mixed bag and one of the weaker SW scores not helped by the guest conductor not being quite as good on his tracks but decent enough and Rey's theme is a nice bit of music. Even average Williams is still better than most composer's best efforts.
Dredd score. Great first track. Thereafter a mix of atonal computer game loading signals and drum beats. Odd.
Guardians of the Galaxy cartoon show soundtrack or 'some random songs'. Decent selection though and pretty cheap so passes muster.

He's a hazard. I've been listening to They Might Be Giants over the past few weeks. I discovered them through this Transformers video around 2000/2001 and have seen them twice in London, most recently at the Shepherd's Bush Empire last month. Their songs are intelligent and thought-provoking, which puts them outside the mainstream music market, but they're amazing to see live. |

Getting aquainted with the Babymetal ouvure, and re-aqainting myself with Devin Townsend via his live albums. Good stuff. Also picked up an old album by a band called Foil, some nice angry Scottish Britrock.
It occurs to me that the period of '93-'98 was an amazingly creative and innovative time for British rock music, moreso, in my opinion than any other time in popular music history. Bands like Foil, Therapy?, The Wildhearts, Terrorvision, Kerbdog, Smalltown Heroes, Apes, Pigs And Spacemen, Baby Chaos... and if you add in bands like Blur, Oasis's early stuff, even Suede's first two albums... Amazing time.

I agree, although personally I'd go back a few years to include bands like Thunder, Little Angels and The Almighty. 91-93 was a renaissance in British metal as far as I'm concerned.

Just bought The Wildhearts new live album, Never Outdrunk, Never Outsung. Commemorating the recent PHUQ album's 20th anniversary, I'm not sure which show it was recorded at on the tour, but it's good unclean fun.

Bought live albums for two of the three Springsteen shows I went to (just waiting on Coventry to be released).
Its just ridiculous how different they are for two shows on the same tour less than two months apart.

Its just ridiculous how different they are for two shows on the same tour less than two months apart. I saw the Boss at the 2nd show he did in Dublin a couple of months back. Really excellent from start to finish, he definitely put a lot of more current bands to shame with the length of the set he played. The only downside was that the sound was a bit muddy, whats the quality of the gigs you have like as i'm considering buying the one i went to? Getting aquainted with the Babymetal ouvure, and re-aqainting myself with Devin Townsend via his live albums. Good stuff.

Amazing time. Every single band you listed there are pure gold. Can;t go wrong with any of them. But.... Standing out Head and Shoulders above the rest is DEVIN TOWNSEND. That man is a absolute musical machine, pretty much my favourite ever musician. I've lost count of how many times I've seen him live but the Retinal Circus & Ziltoid live shows he's done in London over the last few years have been two of the best gigs i've ever been too. Just bought The Wildhearts new live album, Never Outdrunk, Never Outsung. Commemorating the recent PHUQ album's 20th anniversary, I'm not sure which show it was recorded at on the tour, but it's good unclean fun. Woah! Only yesterday I was pondering trying to name the week thread Week 29x The Pain, but then thought, nah, only Urzu would get that. New Wildhearts album! get in! Much love to the Wildhearts too. That PHUQ live album is bloody good. I'm crossing my fingers that we get a Fishing For Luckies live album next year! Actually apart from Devin Townsend, Ginger must be the hardest working man in rock these days. He's released a serious amount of stuff in the last few years. |

The only downside was that the sound was a bit muddy, whats the quality of the gigs you have like as i'm considering buying the one i went to? I was so tempted to go over for one of those. The sound was iffy at all the stadium shows to some extent I think. Its a shame because the band sounded so good in the arena shows. Manchester was good except for the first song or two. Coventry was awful for I dont know how long. But the recordings sound fantastic, really well produced. Again I think the US arena shows I have sound a little better, but that might just be because I prefer the setlist. Though you dont hear as much of the crowd as should seem sensible on a live recordings with crowds that noisey. I guess its a personal preference and they went for less crowd. |

I bought the new Robin of Sherwood reunion audio drama as a treat for the long car journeys I've done recently. Very much recommend it if RoS is a series you remember fondly. It's the full third season cast (except Robert Addie obviously) performing an unused Richard Carpenter script, and is very much in keeping with that season. Because it's an actual Carpenter story it's far closer to the original than the way Big Finish try to put new spins on Who and Blake's 7. Very nicely produced too. There's also a nice irony in that Colin Baker plays a guest part, given RoS originally went head to head with his Doctor Who era. www.spitefulpuppet.com/ |

Let me tell you the tale of the War of the Worlds CD
Liz has been looking for it for months, I got her one as a present years ago.
She hasn't found it anywhere.
Wanting to play it to Jonathan she asked me to order a new copy.
It came yesterday, I opened the package and looked at the CD.
As I was going downstairs I told her it had arrived.
I then said ".... and that'll mean the original will show up"
I turned my head left, looked at the CDs by the bookshelf and spotted the spine immediately!

Yep. Getting a replacement of anything lost is the only sure way to collapse the probability wave and force it to materialize in a definite place. More often than not it does so in a place in which you have already looked.
(Note that the Principle of Subjective Localisation, as it is called is not considered entirely robust, but there is quite a lot of apparent statistical strength in it...)

Spur of the moment decision results in my going to see The Wildhearts again in a few hours.

Jealous!
Living on the south coast, Rock City is one of those legendary venues I've always heard about but never been to. Used to piss me off no end that Thunder's annual Christmas concert was ALWAYS there and I could never go.

Well, that was pretty astounding.
Highlight was definitely getting Danny onstage for the encores. The (for me, anyway) classic Wildhearts lineup, bolstered by the sheer noise of hearing Caffeine Bomb, I Wanna Go Where The People Go, 29 x The Pain and Geordie In Wonderland with a twin bass sound was glorious...
