Alright guys,
Any of you got young daughters, taken them to see Hannah Montana in 3D yet at the pictures, if ya have, its a trial innit.
Watched Pongmaster's on DVD again the other night, had the place to myself, which is well rare these days, so instead of headphones, i cranked it up on the old 5.1 surround sound and downed a few ales.
The only gripe i have with that concert, is Jon's flute and his multitude of other exotic pipes that if i could hear them a bit more would sound wicked, he should of had some of those special microphones attached to his pipes, ala James Galway style.
Also i bought a good album the other day as well, its called Music Of The Spheres by Mike Oldfield, its all classical but don't let that put you off, its brilliant and very melodic.
Lastly, I've got Gastric flu, its one of the worst feelings in the world, i feel two sheets to the wind.

Get well soon mate! I agree with the Jon volume thing, I always thought he should be 'miked' up, he was drowned out at gigs but a joy to watch never the less! The 'Tooting Flootie' plays the mute.

Mute the Flute, beaut, in your new suit. You'll look cute with your plans astute, open the chute, aim to shoot, chew the fruit and tune your lute, wear one boot, dig up a root then smoke to pollute an army recruit. That's absolute, you cant dispute or refute or even dilute. So there  |

Once upon a time, i had this tan, it was well cultivated and looked pretty good on me, it was in the year of 1995. I managed to get hold of a knocked off sunbed from my mate, for the wife originally, but i started doing ten minutes here and then minutes there and before i knew it, i had this fake tan ready for my holiday in Kos. To top it off, i had my hair died bleach blonde, it was the fashion then, Robbie williams on drugs era, hanging with Oasis, remember...Anyway, i was young. Well, while i was out there, my tan grew darker as the day's went buy and my bleached robbie williams hair grew Robbier, no blonder. Cutting a long story short, this bird from Sunderland come up to me in this club and she remarked on how i resembled not Robbie but Brad pitt, well straight away i knew two things for sure and that was, she wanted a free drink and my body...she got the free drink...my wife may had an opinion, if i relented and consented to both. My point is, in a space of around twelve to thirteen years, i've gone from a small resemblence to Brad Pitt to a descent Max effin Branning, what the fcuk has happened there then.  |

Dunno, you didnt do it gracefully then? I had my hair like that then too. I wanted it to look sorta silver like Ravanelli the Italian footy player but the fella in the hairdressers couldn't get it right and made it blonde. Said my hair was too dark so I let it grow a bit and achieved the Commander Straker look instead. I was young too! The answer to your question is... The ravages of time, dear sir, the ravages of time.

anyway-back to the point of this thread about jumping john.
now i hate to be a downer in all this but in my own opinion i reckon the reason why john wasnt miked up was because john wasnt really up to the same standard as the rest of the band.i,m also of the opinion that the m.i.c was deliberately turned down,never seen ozrics when i could hear john.
oh and one more thing-i,ll bet you two hits on the bong underwater that wba win at wembley today

sadly i might have to agree. there are a few instances where the flutes are audible and it just doesn't match up well (in particular, on Saucers)
and what's with cutting out the talking to the crowd bit? it's as if a few things he said were censored!

probably on about the colour of his boxers steady on boys the guy is a true legend but shit in dream machine but there shit anyway but hey ho shit happens.... now i don't wish to open yet another 'can of worms' over this but... there's no call for this kind of language imho. whatever your opinion of other bands is it really fair to be downright abusive?? i wonder how much of DM you have actually listened to? yes i am a HUGE fan of DM and OT and Jon's other 'projects, so as far as taste goes i could be accused of bias. however there are plenty of bands i don't rate much, even some bands i like where i don't rate individual members input. i will quite happily state when i have a low opinion of something or someone, but i wouldn't resort to such 'low blows' myself! i respect your right to state your opinion but your comments are harsh to say the very least. surely it would have been fairer to state that you don't PERSONALLY like DM or Jon's work with them. please consider other folx feelings and think about your choice of words, there are plenty of ways of saying you dont like something without being offensive! |

well, hats off to you man. dunno if i can wangle swindon yet but who knows? quite often i dont know i am going til the day itself!!! though i am sure our paths will cross at gigs at some point man;) i must admit i was suprised that you are not keen on DM stuff after the dvd AND cd, who knows the long awaited 2nd album may be more to your liking, seems like the world is itching to hear it and from what i hear its far less of a 'jam' and much more intricate than trilogia which was 'experimental'. btw that kylie aint my cup of tea but i could 'bear' watching her dvd's with the sound down and some hawkwind on i hereby exhalt in order to revoke the smite i gave you yesterday. |
