WORDPLAY extraordinary I keep thinking there ought to be a connection between the Satire of The Firesign Theatre and ROY, then I tell myself, NO! They're both longtime faves of mine though, and their political commentaries seem compatible. If you've never heard them, I recommend: WAITING FOR THE ELECTRICIAN OR SOMEONE LIKE HIM "Have you seen the palace? You must, it won't be here much longer!" "Here, in this life-size replica of the Taj Mahal, made entirely out of oleomargarine, resides our guru, the tiny Dr. Tim. Let's knock on the door, and see if he's 'In.'" (Sound effect of knuckles on...) HOW CAN YOU BE IN TWO PLACES AT ONCE WHEN YOU'RE NOT ANYWHERE AT ALL (includes most famous piece The FURTHER ADVENTURES of NICK DANGER) DON'T CRUSH THAT DWARF, HAND ME THE PLIERS I THINK WE'RE ALL BOZOS ON THIS BUS (My least fave of their best) The TALE OF THE GIANT RAT OF SUMATRA (featuring HEMLOCK STONES, a cheap imitation of Sherlock Holmes, who makes the wrong conclusion!) "What happened? The lights went out in the bathroom and I missed everything!" EVERYTHING YOU KNOW IS WRONG! SHAKESPEARE'S LOST COMEDIE Their first album is excellent satire, and NICK DANGER is their most popular (count the Beatles lyrics they work into the 25m piece). Wordplay throughout their work. DWARF is the groups' (and my) favorite, but a bit obtuse for first time listeners. Check out firesigntheatre.com. PLANETPROCTOR.com has bi-monthly posts with PHILIP PROCTOR's jokes and commentaries for many years. (Phil is sort of the Michael Palin of the Group. Apparently he's the unseen announcer on BIG BROTHER-TV, which I never watch. Their voices have been in several more recent animated features). The cover of DWARF has artwork that shows them as two Saggitarian Archers, a Leonine Lion and an Arian Ram (The three FIRE SIGNS, hence the name no one seems to quite figure out). They have something over twenty combined and solo albums since 1968. Started in CA radio.
APOLOGIES for errant threading Go to the beginning to see what this was originally about. Sorry, Paul and Paula for making your jobs as moderators seem less important, but ANDI started it and LINN only encouraged me!
Andi, you make me bloody laugh sometimes! You are truly a child of the universe. A loose cannon somewhere in between Spike Milligan and Freddie Starr................................
S. Park Republicans Just saw a poll today that says South Park is preferred by more Republicans than Democrats in the U.S. Getting back to the original subject of this thread: What does our new MODERATOR ScotPaulaBear think of the poll?
Lost Across the Pond in Translation What?:ack2::confused1: "Mimsy were the borogoves..." Thank goodness Paul is back!... ScotPaulaBear did a wonderful job, BTW. (for those who lost track of this thread)
Not sure Not too sure if that's a compliment or what? I was actually trying to do a review of NH for you based on his mountain exploits in relation to his music but haven't heard enough of his stuff yet. The instrumental Riverside I love and the allegorical review would be something akin to beautiful mountain stream trickly bits and waving gorse hillsides in the rain sodden icy wind with scudding flocculent clouds to full blown glacial scree landslides / avalanches down the fretboard towards cavernous karst topographic caverns of sound. Get the [snow] drift? Mind you when learning a new song sometimes it is like doing the Inca Trail and all those never ending stone steps up and down going seemingly nowhere sometimes. Onwards and upwards! chrs andipandi [trying to keep fit! BTW I am sure the English weather keeps us toned up! All that shivering is good exercise methinks! Still haven't put the central heating on yet - apart from fuel bills - it is a good way to keep fit by trying to keep warm in the house or cheat by wrapping up in a cosy duvet with someone/thing you love] chrs andi :m9:
We have a Wibble thread here for er, wibble and a Witterings one for, well, wittering. I was pondering the difference? Agreed: The Master has returned! Can't believe Paul didn't check in on us even once!
I think it was a touch of both a 'compliment' and 'or what'!:biggrin: Reviews will be welcome in 2009!
Actually it was lovely; I didn't touch a computer for 2 whole weeks and I think it did me the world of good. Last time I did that was on our honeymoon. I can recommend it to any other "jaded computerphiles" out there.
