ELO, whom I hated with the force of a thousand burning nuns
I just wanted to see that again.
Theo, your mix looks awesome!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I hope it stands up to closer scrutiny!
I've added so very many songs in the past couple weeks that I'm actually way behind on listening to and appreciating. Some are immediate standouts, like the Calliopa song, and the chain gang one, "Your Adorable Beast", "Short Skirt, Long Jacket," "Hello Hello," "Sunkeneyed Girl", "Rockin' in Rhythm," "Jesus Help Me to Stand" -- which doesn't include songs I've actually heard before this and like quite a lot already, and then all the songs that I haven't even heard yet, plus the songs that don't appeal so much on the first listen as much as they grow on you sneakily over time.
Just in case anyone passing through here doesn't have access to Buffistarawk2, the current YSI link is:
"Doctor Who: Main Title" by the Ray Winstone Orchestra.
Ray Winstone, the Will Scarlet, dial a bad guy of British cinema, Ray Winstone?
Or another Ray Winstone?
I'm not sure -- that is how the file is listed, and I'd never heard of the guy before yesterday. It could be that someone hacked the CDDB? I'll have to haul out the actual Box set and see what it says.
"Doctor Who: Main Title" by the Ray Winstone Orchestra.
That's the orchestral version I have on my two disk classic TV themes CD, so I think it's from back in the day (and probably not the same Ray Winstone). I was mentioning in Box Set (in a discussion of the new Dr. Who and the re-working of the theme through the years) that I was a bit disappointed to not have the original theme (or at least one of the strictly electronic versions) and that I thought the tempo on this version was too slow.
Hey Jon!
The Guest of Honor at the filk con I attended this weekend played theramin(among many other instruments) as part of his concert set.
He also gave a theramin workshop, and I got to try to play one.(alas, I couldn't get a recognizable tune out of it. In fact, it sounded like I was torturing a cat. Ah, well...)
What I have been listening to the last 2 days: Hem - No Word from Tom.
Sorry about that.
I've been listening to Great Lake Swimmers - Bodies and Minds [link]
Sheryl -- Many a thereminist has been accused of emulating cat-torturing sounds. You're in good company.
Glad you had fun. What was the thereminist's name?
