Listened to Meddle this morning. Still a great album. I've now moved on to Midnight Mushrumps by Gryphon.

[L.A.]

Summertime Blues by T Rex last night (+loads more but it reminded me of how I love this track from while Marc Bolan was alive - saw them do it at Weeley) in 1st episode of Vinyl.

[Geoff (G. Robbins) (merda constat variat altitudo)]

It's been a soundtrack day today. I've been listening to the soundtrack of Changeling, written and performed by Clint Eastwood. Also a cracking film.

Listening to the soundtrack to Dances with Wolves. John Barry, of course.

Will probably finish off with the soundtrack to Amelie, by Yann Tierson.

[Geoff (G. Robbins) (merda constat variat altitudo)]

Quite a eclectic selection from me today.

Started of with Pawn Heart by Van der Graaf Generator (With the wonderfully named track "A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers")

Followed by Phantasmagoria, by Curved Air.

Last, but by no means least, Pink Moon, by the sublime Nick Drake.

Finishing the day with Reise, Reise by Rammstein.

[Elle]

Rammstein! They are doing a couple of festivals this year and my Brother, for my Christmas present, is gonna get us a trip to see them in Europe somewhere (either in a festival or if they release some dates)!

I'm so excited. Saw em once before in Manchester, incredible.

Bad finger Baby Blue

Dave sez the sales of this song skyrocketed after the final episode of Breaking Bad.

Not surprised. Strange history, Badfinger. Sad too.

[Geoff (G. Robbins) (merda constat variat altitudo)]

Been listening to Rory Gallagher this morning and Kansas.

Dave knows the 'wife' that is mentioned. They became friends when he was working in Saudi. He taught one of her kids.

[Geoff (G. Robbins) (merda constat variat altitudo)]

Listening to the soundtrack to the film Lucy, by Eric Serra.

If you want to see a great action film, with a great soundtrack, then Lucy will fit the bill well.

[Elle]

Don't recall the soundtrack to Lucy at all. Need to look into that!

[Geoff (G. Robbins) (merda constat variat altitudo)]

Elle wrote: "Don't recall the soundtrack to Lucy at all. Need to look into that!"

I'm surprised you don't remember the main opening theme, Elle. It really is stand out.

Now listening to Culpeper's Orchard's second and final album, Second Sight. Not as riffy as the first album, but still has some very melodic songs in there.

[Geoff (G. Robbins) (merda constat variat altitudo)]

This afternoon's musical accompaniment is Sheet Music, by 10CC.

My god they were talented until the original four split.

[Elle]

I didn't particularly like the film so maybe that's why? I also didn't see it in the cinema, just a DVD at a friends house so never pick up on soundtracks as much when I watch it like that!

Ah, the main tune has got a bass synthesizer riff, so a flat screen TV with no sound bar wouldn't begin to reach it. No wonder you didn't notice it.

[Geoff (G. Robbins) (merda constat variat altitudo)]

Listening to Five Bridges by The Nice. This is the band that Keith Emerson formed before moving to Emerson, Lake and Palmer.

Good album, a cross between classical and jazz work. Quite interesting.

[Geoff (G. Robbins) (merda constat variat altitudo)]

Today's fare commenced with Stranded by Roxy Music - an absolute classic. Following up with Kevin Ayers' Joy of a Toy.

I think Ayers was very underrated in his time, especially by himself. He had no ambitions to be a rock star (Mike Oldfield was his lead guitarist in The Whole World.) and just did enough to have a comfortable living.

Interestin article on him here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_A...

Last night I watched Sky Arts programmes, 1 on The Clash and 1 on Iggy Pop. Half-hour each which was paltry time to do a decent profile of their careers. Funny to see Tom Hodgkinson crop up as a talking head though. Apparently he works for The Times now. When I knew him he was working in a skateboard shop.

But was he any good as a talking head? I see so many of these people spouting lyrical about this performer and that, know full well from the way they are talking, that they didn't have a clue about the subject and had blagged the gig by bullsh*tting some clueless producer.

[Marc]

if you can get past his voice he's okay. Said incisive things about Iggy. Not so much The Clash. And he'd at least changed his clothes between the 2 shows, unlike the other talking heads.

[Patti (baconater)]

I've really got to stop reading posts from in here to Dave. He always inflicts me afterward.

[Geoff (G. Robbins) (merda constat variat altitudo)]

Today's music, so far, has been Tales From Topographic Oceans by Yes and Tales of 1001 Nights by Renaissance.

TFTO seems somewhat sombre considering my mood today, so Renaissance will hopefully change all that, or at least help.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Ive just finished reading Rick Wakeman's autobiog. Can you smell the alcohol off it?

[Geoff (G. Robbins) (merda constat variat altitudo)]

Washyousay?

[Geoff (G. Robbins) (merda constat variat altitudo)]

Listened to Alien 4 by Hawkwind this morning. I'm not saying they were drug addled (and still are as far as I know) but Lemmy was kicked out of the band not because he was caught carrying cocaine across the border between the US and Canada, but because he wasn't on acid like everyone else.

[Geoff (G. Robbins) (merda constat variat altitudo)]

This afternoon's music commences with Zwai by H'a'x Cel. The opening is harpsichord and flute with rock instruments in support. Interesting. They are a German Prog Rock band who only produced this album.

flute sounds a bit Jethro Tull

I was thinking that too, Jim. Must admit I liked the use of harpsichord too. Most of the songs are based on classical compositions.

[Jim]

It was an interesting listen

[Geoff (G. Robbins) (merda constat variat altitudo)]

As you have probably noticed I have quite an eclectic taste in music.

[Geoff (G. Robbins) (merda constat variat altitudo)]

On that subject, I'm listening to Wishbone Ash's Pilgrimage.

[Patti (baconater)]

I'd not call what you have in music 'taste'.

[Geoff (G. Robbins) (merda constat variat altitudo)]

Well, I do, especially as I'm playing Warren Zevon's Excitable Boy.

"Ah Hoooo, Werewolves of London"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhSc8...

I loved the way it was used at the end of season 2 of The 100.

[Geoff (G. Robbins) (merda constat variat altitudo)]

Listening to Lacuna Coil this morning. On the softer side of hard rock. The album is Unleashed Memories. Bit on the goth side.

[Tim]

Alice Cooper's "I am made of you" - bit of an ear worm at the moment!

[Geoff (G. Robbins) (merda constat variat altitudo)]

Alice Cooper can do that to you. He last did that to me with Halo of Flies a few months ago. Poison was the one he caught me with before that.

[Geoff (G. Robbins) (merda constat variat altitudo)]

I finished off the day's music with The Best of Elvis Costello. now listening to the eponymous Love album. A 1960s classic. The band that The Doors looked up to. Remarkable.

[Geoff (G. Robbins) (merda constat variat altitudo)]

This morning's music has been provided by Little Feat. Their album Down on the Farm. It's about as near to Country music that I get. Sort of The Eagles area.

Brilliant. I've just sent the link to half the school. ;)

[Geoff (G. Robbins) (merda constat variat altitudo)]

Very clever take. I'll listen to that when I get home.

[Patti (baconater)]

I've listened to it at least a half dozen times this morning.

[Geoff (G. Robbins) (merda constat variat altitudo)]

I would, IF I HAD A BLOODY INTERNET CONNECTION HERE.

[Rosemary (grooving with the Picts)]

Yes, it's not long enough!

[Patti (baconater)]

Aren't you bitchy?

[L.A.]

Bolero, by the Paris opera. Stunning dancing!! recorded it on sky Arts.

[Patti (baconater)]

Erm. I was replying to Geoff up there, Rosemary.

You're rarely bitchy since you left the garden centre. ;)
