I have completely gotten sucked into DEFIANCE. Well, not completely. But I have enjoyed s1 and will stick around for s2. It can be a bit mawkish, and a bit "made for TV" at times but I have just finished binge watching ORPHAN BLACK and GAME OF THRONES so it does pale in comparison. Good wi...

This Joseph Parker shows a lot of promise.

Young, strong, heavy hitter and FAST.

If he comes to a town near you, go see. His next fight I think is in Vegas.

No argument here. I'm a sucker for what is now classified as "Yacht Rock." Can't get enough. Lawks. I hadn't even heard the term "Yacht Rock" before it came up in this thread. I googled. Not my thing. This TV show might have possibilities: I can fast forward through the musical ...

*edit: The career track for a pop musician is different. Usually it is training at a conservatory or music academy followed by an apprenticeship in a city or region where there are paying gigs for musicians either in the live or studio spheres. They take a mercenary approach. However, they sometime...

I dont know what chords are, but I do agree with the first part of that statement. I mean if its true for me, its true, right?

http://www.wired.com/images_blogs/underwire/2012/07/Redshirts_800.jpg I liked this a lot. Recommendation from a friend and I thought it was (just) a piss-take of early STAR TREK, of which I am a huge fan. It is that, sort of, but more. Anyway enjoyed it a lot and absolutely recommend it.

some of my favourite music is from the 80's: Sisters of Mercy in particular. Is anyone going to mention rap? because to me that was the wave after punk. lot of the same social issues producing some outstanding music. I say that from an outsider perspective of vourse: I hated it at the time and it is...

Pretty narrow lens there. Some 1st tier dinosaurs, The Stones & Zeppelin, might take issue with that. And, while not necessarily bands, Neil Young, David Bowie, Bruce Springsteen, Willie Nelson, & Waylon Jennings had a pretty spectacular decade. Although he has since turned into a steaming ...

They wouldn't be the worst, but they'd be close IMO.

seriously?

If so, interesting.

Meh, its OT to this thread anyway. I'll leave you to discusss Kansas and Steely Dan.

One day, we'll talk about this properly.

Arent they all awful? Thats what 18-25 year old me would have said. 50 year old me agrees with 25 year old me, mostly. The best band of the 1970's you say? The Sex Pistols. Followed by The Clash.

my policy with my customers is "treat 'em mean, keep 'em keen" I emailed someone today to say that his proposal was a terrible idea and that if he wished to proceed not only would an independent advice be required but he could take his business elsewhere. Felt good too. Fuck him. Who needs...

Alcoholism is tough business and it wasn't any of ours. Absolutely. I think it would also be hard to deduct that what has been, at times, a pretty hard drinking band, would have an issue with another hard drinker. Not to belabor any points, but Patterson in some recent interviews addressed this exa...

Sincerely, thank you for this.

I'm up to "Marry Me" and having a really great time.

"Outfit" brought a tear to my eye. Getting soft in my old age.

So, we've just shifted (back into our house after half arsed EQ repairs... anyway). I have just sold my "big" stereo gear. The bespoke rack, the large ish (200W) amplifier, the big speakers. I have kept the "decent" CD player and the turntable at this point. I never used it, and ...

Study Links Drinking While Pregnant To Being At Kid Rock Concert

That's the trifecta innit: drinking, smoking and Kid Rock.

Having never been part of any sort of "social network" other than an email list or message board prior to FB (I never really understood the appeal of MySpace, I did use it to listen to bands though), I wasn't sure what to make of FB after I first created an account. I struggled with that ...

I have to buy trade paperbacks now instead of "normal" size because I cannot read the fucking print in a small book. Sad but true. This is why I have yet to read "Perdido Street Station" by China Mieville. Though my partner read it and she said that it was turgid and awful and sl...

what is this thread about, actually?

So I decided to read the article about her and her music instead of the article about her twitter comments.

It was a really good article.

you bought the magazine specifically for that article, amiright?

I thought that would be lame and it was excellent.

I liked the last "Tweet" too. She has a sense of humour. Well at least I think so


I also want one of those raspberry twisty things right about now.

When it came out in 1981 I barely listened to anything else th...
