Re: Totally Radical! The All Encompassing Thread of 80s Awesomeness

All 6 of their 80s albums are solid. Are we still talking about Iron Maiden? No they released 7 albums in the 80s. All are terrible. I'm hardly what would be classified as a fan. I do like a few songs but Dickinson and other members have revealed themselves to be Tory scum. But from the early days ...

A steak and ale meat pie. I feel like Heston.

Re: Thread of Dreams

I should note a very disjointed dream from last night. It was a mishmosh of scenes that didn't fit together. The parts that I still recall involve the Boss and I buying a retirement home—more like a small estate—in France because it was absurdly cheap. And then we found something even better in Spa...

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread

So was Ratty online? He checks in regularly as a lurker. I gather he's doing well from our periodic contact, but prefers to just read our shenanigans from afar at the moment. Sort of like the watchmaker god. So you chat with the man himself? Ask him if he's planning to go to SLF show in Boston .

Re: Totally Radical! The All Encompassing Thread of 80s Awesomeness

There's a certain band from Basildon that happened to release three killer albums in a row during the 1980s. All 6 of their 80s albums are solid. Are we still talking about Iron Maiden?

I doubt many here care, but I'm going to see jazz fusion legend Stanley Clarke tonight.
I would go see him. Wouldn't buy an album but would see him live.

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread

Threw on Hugh Laurie's blues record for some background noise while working because I remembered it being pretty okay. It fucking rips, man! Apart from maybe Shatner's Has Been, are there any other vanity records by a famous person that succeed as actual music? Been a while since I listened to it, ...

Re: Big Foot

But, seemingly, there was enough going on that your boy wanted to experience the different versions. He was pretty young and getting into reading. Eventually he caught on. It sort of reminds me of watching Gilligan's Island as a kid. But I guess what you were getting at and which applies pretty muc...

Re: Big Foot

It's a skill to be able to do that. There was a notable scifi writer in the 50s or 60s who, apart from his more serious, creative writing, could pump out trashy novels of maybe 30–40K words in length every four days or so. It was easy money for him and, he said, helped him become more disciplined i...

Re: So what's your concert schedule looking like?

Got tickets for Death, the old Detroit proto-punk band, not the metal band. Oh cool, I had no idea they were still performing. So they all moved to VT years ago, one brother died and the others played reggae for years. Their kids formed a band (Rough Francis) and some will likely be part of the liv...
