Is there anybody out there???
Permalink  
 

Well.... what can I say? The past few weeks have been very confrontational. We have all debated, discussed and argued. But at the moment the forum seems to have gone very quiet.


Is there anything that is bothering anyone? COME ON PEOPLE, LET'S DEBATE!


Meekus is on holiday, Alison is on holiday, Motema2004 is working and I think that Oeo has disapeared up his own a..! Lol


Lets try and find something to discuss.

What does lurpack mean?? Anyway, this is not terribly exciting but in Washington DC area we are having unusually hot weather and bad thunderstorms, nearly tornadoes. No electricty 2 am-4 am Wednesday 27 and then a terrible storm Thursday, lots of downed trees & branches and again no electricity 6pm-3am and extremely humid, couldn't have fans, no lights, regfrigerated foods melting. Things got better today but still more rain. Not getting much sleep Wednesday and Thursday nights. Thursday night around midnight a very scary noise for perhaps an hour of splintering wood coming from an abandoned 6-story office building across the street from me. Our town police are on some kind of work slowdown for 2-3 months now and did not respond for a long time, telling me they had lots of phone calls about it but it was "probably just a generator trying to start up". It sounded to me like an actual person inside the building with an axe. Finally 1 policeman, alone, came in his car & shined some lights around & said he didn't see anything. As luck would have it, the axe sounds had stopped about 5 minutes before he showed up. He was NOT very helpful and all I could do was hope for daylight to come. When called, the electric company recording said 62,000 people were without power and it would be restored by 8 pm on the 29th!!!but 3 am on the 28th it was back, in our neighborhood. At the worst part of the windstorm, I was trying to gather houseplants to safety and leaned my hand on a crepe myrtle tree for balance, and it was vibrating, as though it were singing! Must have been from the lightning around us...very thought-provoking! I got inside as soon as possible and the storm passed over quickly, leaving a trail of debris to clean up over the next few days. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.......

What sort of music do you like mags, assuming you have an opinion?

You will not be disappointed at the U2 concert. They are fantastic and I hate say it but they beat Bob for a concert. I've been once and I desperately want to go again. Absolutely amazing. I'm a complete addict now.

Very funny mags! But what about Oeo's question about 70's music? What about the webcam? What are you filming? Camilla, what does butter have to do with your country? Are you Danish? I used to like one Scandanavian rock group from the 70's called Gasoline, I think they were Danish really...something like a pop version of Led Zeppelin (I had LPs of them, especially "live" one was good).

I especially liked the 70's music!!.  Best band then, to me was Sweet.  Remember them?.  Great glam rock band.  Singer Brian Connelly, guitarist Andy Scott, bassist Steve Priest and the drummer Mick Turner.  Remember Poppa Joe (1972), Little Willy, and the best was Wigwam Bam and Blockbuster!!!. Ah!!, takes me back to when i was younger!!! lol.

Mags, Burn on the Flame!! I still sing that one to this day, when I'm in a big hurry trying to energize myself into action! Steve Priest, yeah, what a cutie!Gasolin, Camilla, I used to like Golden Earring first, although from Netherlands and then I started looking for LPs by any European rock bands in genereal...and Gasolin looked really scruffy (a sure sign of talent)..no idea what they were saying but I liked the singer's rough voice. They looked like Led Zeppelin but more melodic. I liked "Oh what a Lemon" and "It's All the Same to an American Dane." Ah, it was so much fun back then!but Sir Bob has some of those qualities too, that's why I like him!

The Sweet, the greatest band until the Boomtown Rats came along!  Funnily enough I never liked them much (prefering Slade & T.Rex) until Blockbuster.  Then Hell Raiser, Ballroom Blitz (possibly the greatest single ever?) and Teenage Rampage were all fantastic. (not to mention Action, Fox on the Run and Love is Like Oxygen).  Sadly Brian Connolly hit the bottle and by 1978 they were alas a mere shadow of their former selves.


All their "original" LPs were re-released recently.  Desolation Boulevard, Sweet FA, Off The Record and Give Us a Wink are all worth selective listening (they had some pretty ropey tracks mixed in), though strangely their best LP Level Headed wasn't (Possibly because it was on Polydor not RCA)


PS I have nothing to do with the site or its remodelling.  I don't work for geldof.info or anything, I just hang out on this MB more often than is sensible
