The TIPF Album

[ChrisLumix]

There's only one thing to follow that with! 

 

 

I saw them live twice - awesome.

[Korky]

They are indeed awesome - but so is John Cooper Clarke..........

 

[Korky]

And so is this man.....

 

[ChrisLumix]

Spooky. Just before I popped in here iTunes had played me Down By The River, followed by a hip-hop cover of Only Love Can Break Your Heart. As for JCC, I think of you as our very own version of the great man, Korky.

 

(There's a mild irony hearing NY sing Old Man .. now he is! If you can call a perpetual curmudgeon "old", that is; he'd be perfect as Victor Meldrew.)

Hmmmmm - heres my band

 

[CanonChrissy]

Im in love with Billy Joe and dream of getting him in front of my camera for some grungy mono shots and some natural 'hair flopping in his eyes while he puts out some riffs' type shots......Ah, Billy...............................

 

BTW my Avitar was taken just before I set off for my 1st Green Day gig. It was in Birmingham and we were staying in the Hylton. I had ben in the gym and showing off, had slipped in the treadmill and totally skinned my shin with a friction burn....To this day people think I did it stage diving, as thats what I said happened.

Is it just me, or do Green Day sound very much like McFly? Not an insult by the way - I think McFly were (briefly) a very good little outfit

I don't have a music vid to show, but I do have a recommendation to make..

I have nothing whatsoever to do with the company by the way.....I'm just a happy user.

Like many of you, I love my music , I have an eclectic taste and will enjoy anything that will please the ears and relax the mind, ever since the birth of Stereo I have endevoured to own quality amplifier and speakers to do justice to any music played for my pleasure whether it be ...JUMPIN'! ......or.........EASY LISTENING.

Years ago I had a late good mate who could afford the very best.........Bose Speakers, the creme-de-la-creme of amplifiers and record decks .......I used to visit his house just to listen in wonder, then go home to improve my second hand gear by fitting bass speakers into large drain pipes and tweeter in vases etc.......I still have one DIY drain pipe set up that still sounds good, up in the attic.

When I acquired surround sound for my TV I gave my son a pair of treasured BOSE speakers......big mistake......surround sound is OK for TV but not for good music listening. I do have an old second hand BOSE radio in the bedroom ( fantastic).

Earlier this month, I decided to research what is available today, taking into consideration my iPad and Nokia 1020, both of which have great and easy access to all genres of music plus Bluetooth and another way to connect to a speakers.

I chanced upon, a whole series if excellent reviews for the.......Creative Lab's.....Sound Blaster ROAR.

In many tests it compares well with the very best including Bose, having two amplifiers and patented audio technology .....the beauty of it is, that it costs just £129 delivered direct from the factory web site.

Not only is it one of the best speakers I have ever listened to, it records to a Micro SD Card, acts as a voice recorder and phone speaker plus much more....... It is completely distortion free at all volume levels and the Mega Bass needs to be heard to be believed from such a small unit.

It turns both my phone and iPad into fantastic music centres.........I do have collection of favourites.........but the iRadio internet radio app pushes out all genres of music in high quality if you select the right channels.

I tried the SD card recording yesterday...... Playback is faultless.......if you love your music, take a look at the Soundblaster ROAR web site.

Just one question Fuji - your recommendation is heard! - what's the size of these?

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Got forbid - u removed ya ear wax of late? HAHA

 

Their earlier stuff was awesome however, I also love how BJoe is developing as a songwriter, taking a totally  different approach. Regrettably, the fans aren't moving with the band.

Thanks Fuji - bookmarked.

[Korky]

If you have Netflix, 'Men at Lunch' is well worth 60 minutes of your time. Excellent!

Related, yet not, to Korky's post above (which I'll be passing an hour with at work tonight btw, thanks for the recommendation) is this short video of the creation of a new water tower local to me.

 

Health & Safety? Pah!

 

[Black Pearl]

Coldplay - Midnight (Giorgio Moroder Remix)

 

 

No video just a SoundCloud link - with a listen and worth a search for music too.

[Caz]

A bit of latino

[Korky]

A great song from a creator of great songs.

 

[Caz]

This is one of my favorite albums, after a  stressful day get some candles lit and lay back and chill out. i love this album!

[Korky]

Time we had summat in this thread.......

 

[Black Pearl]

Crackin' that!

 

How about a bit of Smoke City - Underwater Love

 

[Francoise]

This band Indochine sound great. Massive in France but not known here. I just think their sound is awesome.

[Black Pearl]

You know when you rediscover an album you haven't listened to in donkey's years.....

 

[ChrisLumix]

Good listen - it almost comes across "all Tubular Bells" for a moment at the end. 

 

Well, if we're going for the longer pieces...

 

[Korky]

This should follow on from Sky and Caravan very nicely.

 

[ChrisLumix]

Amazing - I listened rather than watched (the first half) and I assumed I was listening to an Asian band. Then I watched the second half+interviews and no, they're white!
