    Ligeti

    It's a while since I've seen it, but I definitely remember Kubrick using Ligeti's Lux Aeterna when the small ship is shooting across the lunar surface. All those dense dissonant choral textures. He's so amazing. His piano works totally kill too.

    Pointless But It Does My Head In

    The San Shou / MMA fighter Cung Le trained with one before he beat Frank Shamrock. Wasn't Michael Jackson supposed to sleep in one? Or was that just red-top innuendo & hyperbole?

    Bragging rights - heroic events of immense kudos achieved before you lost your edge

    A couple of years ago I had to physically carry Siouxsie Sioux out of a gig & down a flight of stairs after she K-holed. She dribbled on my top. I've also met The Crankies & (when I was tiny) Johnny Morris. Which is even cooler :cool:

    Short Story Thread

    It was a family pub & we were upstairs talking & talking & talking but things were bad. Our plan was wrecked. Too many people knew about it & anyway, we'd left too much of a trail. My laptop had pictures of the seahorse on it. We even had a book on seahorses to make sure we got the details...

    How did old Harmonizers / Pitch-shifters work?

    It's something to do with varying delay time & the doppler effect. You can build a pitchshifter using a Nord Modular by varying the speed of two chained delays, using no sampling at all. It's how delay/pitchshift pedals like the Boss PS-3 work & the reason that most old pitchshifters get that...

    Convince Me Why I Should Like Frank Zappa

    Something like You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore Vol.1 is a good overview. There's enough amazing &/or characteristic shit on there to get someone interested, particularly on the last half of the first side with Big Swifty followed by that epic Don't Eat The Yellow Snow. Lather is a good...

    the "i'm rubbish, help me please" thread

    Ta Baboon! Thanks to that heads-up I just saved nearly £150 on a double room in Montmartre for me & my partner's anniversary weekend at the end of July. Eight thousand thanx!!

    Convince me why I should like The Beatles

    Hey Ya? That got the gist, or something. At least a glimmer of a ghost of it.

    Convince me why I should like The Beatles

    & Ticket to Ride has to be the most soporific yet euphoric groove ever. It's amazing. It's the diametric opposite of shouting-on-a-mountaintop rawk yet it's totally utterly rock as well. Hamburg raw tin-can clatteriness but smooooth as butter. Lovely mix of sneer & glide.

    Convince me why I should like The Beatles

    No love for Happiness is a Warm Gun or Rain?? Rain is one of the most oddly psychedelic songs ever, I think. Something about the sheer density of it or something. That high wandering bassline like droplets of water falling in puddles off various shapes. Actually, that almost justifies Paul...

    Convince Me Why I Should Like Frank Zappa

    From what I remember, 'beefheart' was his grandfather's pet name for his testicles. I'm not sure why anyone would need a pet name for their testicles ...

    Michael

    That Can You Feel It video is just the greatest thing ever & totally blasphemous & surreal & brilliant. My favourite MJ moment. It's amazing how good he was as a kid vocalist ... the whole track just lifts the second he starts singing. Head & shoulders above his siblings. Makes the hair...

    Michael

    Yeah man, completely. I didn't think it'd bother me & I was playing piano when I heard, but it just fucking knocked me sideways & I played dirges for two hours :(:( Wow.

    Sounds great Zhao. Sexotherness is a good look. Incidentally, very very very sincere thanks for the super-rare Forever Bad Blues Band & all the spectralist stuff ... Iancu Dumitrescu blew my mind something rotten O.o Dunno if I'll ever make music the same way again. That's a positive...

    erotic (?) record covers??

    Haha Mr Tea!! This one is hotter than a popeyed horse pissing* itself in fear ... ... but not by much. *EDIT: I just realised it's love piss. It was probably reading this thread.
