If Music Could Talk

I was going to avoid this because I know it will somehow devolve into Slade or Greg Lake winning despite being far from the best or even great. But in the spirit of something here I go. I'd second the vote for Joey Ramone "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" or we could always go with some Replaceme...

"Hey," says I, a couple days ago, "let's get one of those lion hats for the cats. It'll be funny!"

Yeah, they all hate us right now. Zoë even hissed at us. Was it worth $15? Maybe.

They look a little pissed to me!

Okay, last week my seminar discussed a book about Hugh Hefner and Playboy, and I made the comment that I think Hefner is one of the five most important people of the past 75 years. Importantly, that's not necessarily a compliment, only a comment about his widespread significance; Hefner represents ...

20221130_164140.jpg This is a seat cushion that Butters used to lay on but stopped so I washed it and placed it on the table temporarily. I swear she can find a place to sleep without even looking. Do your cats have special spots or do they nap wherever? Both our girls have particular places to sno...

Smart cat!

I just felt like venting, so this thread is getting a bump. I truly struggle with the changing seasons. It's starting to get cold in Wisconsin. We had a nice respite yesterday - with temps in the 50s, but down into the 20s today. Gloomy. I find that small things set me back mood-wise. For instance,...

its 1940's Looney Tunes for me. I seriously dislike 99.9999% of the animation I see nowadays. I'm not saying its not good, i'm just saying it doesn't appeal to me whatsoever. Sigh The Looney Tunes are my all time faves as well. KOTH, Simpsons, Beavis & Butthead are about it for me as far as modern ...

And the embedded YouTube video just made the article that much better.

Don't show the kiddies this one, they'll be scarred for life.

Happy Birthday Inder, hope you have a wonderful day. A big thank you for all you do in keeping this board up and running.

Might be my recording that. Not sure. I would have to dig it out

The info file that came with it lists the taper as "clawhammer", but who knows if that's correct.

I was in London a few weeks back and had to go and see this place when I was in Whitechapel. Would you believe this was the poky little building where the mighty Complete Control was recorded? This used to be Sarm East, and the vocals for Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody were also recorded here. If you di...

I've told students before that the huge, massive, colossal flaw in the right's claim that there's a left-wing conspiracy, like, everywhere is that actual left-wingers couldn't organize a bar trivia night without falling into pointless factionalism. It'd be kind of neat if the left were as united an...
