Why, oh why, do productions of The Ring always try to look as if they are set on the less hospitable regions of the lunar surface?

Yes, I know some people don't like opera or music-drama. They weren't invited anyway, so they might consider keeping predictable Friday-night-down-the-pub-with-the-lads comments where they belong.

Well into the Doubleclicks lately.

The code for embedding YouTube videos has changed, so you only need the letters/numbers after the '=' sign now, placed within the usual YouTube code brackets.

Not seen "The Doubleclicks" before - that's made me chuckle, cheers Luddite

I've been well onto a Warren Zevon kick recently.



And a lot of Creedence Clearwater Revival, which might explain the purchase of a few 'Nam era grunts at WMMS



*And thanks for the comment on posting there, Leon - I was getting far too technical trying to embed those

1000 musicians in Italy asking Foo Fighters to come and play in their town:


Heart - Stairway to Heaven:


Sia - Elastic Heart:

I thought I'd HATE the Heart version of 'Stairway'. 
I loved it ! 
(I think certain esteemed members of the audience did, too !)
Cheers - Phil

The three honourees certainly appeared to enjoy it, particularly the scale of the performance 

It was interesting to see their hesitation when the audience started applauding too early at the end
A pet hate of mine, if you love a song then shut up and listen to it, cheer, applaud etc when it is done, not during

Wait for the drummer...

Did he think he was Keith Moon ? 

Dearie, dearie, me ! 

Cheers - Phil

Currently listening to Demi Lovato, Rihanna, David Guetta and Pitbull ... I suspect my musical tastes are not those of the bulk of posters here!

Recently I have started to alternate Mike Oldfield and Rammstein.

To be fair I did mix in "Nur Du" by L'Ame Immortelle. Not quite Rammstein but closer than most of what I listen to these days

[Rammstein   Yay...just discovered them...excellent stuff]


I enjoy listening to epic, dramatic music from Two Steps From Hell &
Audiomachine.   It seems a perfect accompliment to sweeping 10mm
battles or to help beat those painting blues...

Youtube is good here as it includes 3 or 4 hour collected works so easy
to use when playing larger battles.





Another favourite is this which includes a charge of the Polish Hussars
with accompanying piece "Preliator" by Globus.   I defy anyone not to
be moved by this (starts about 1:30 and gets even better at 2:36).

The first glance at the top one.....

I thought it said "Nerd".
