dunlopp9987 Posted October 4, 2021 Report Share Posted October 4, 2021 I don't know why I've never asked on here, but are there any Balinkers on TT? If you're not in the know, a Balinker is an avid fan of the podcast My Dad Wrote a Porno. I'm about to start my (4th? 5th?) re-listen. Honestly, the one of the funniest things I've ever heard.

Hf,Hr,Hwamp..PR Posted October 6, 2021 Report Share Posted October 6, 2021 If there is one thing that can compete with my love of EFC is my love of music, this may be where I end up posting most, I would say I have a very eclectic taste, but dependent on mood wild variations in genres. At this very moment am listening to Wax Fang, The Astronaut, a band I got into through American Dad because of this song I heard the song long before I'd heard of the band but thanks to youtube put the pieces together found this live version looked at the band and thought this lot can't have done the great tune I'm thinking of, but it was them and I'm really pleased as the album The Astronaut is a delight to listen too, hard to catagorise I kind of think of it as a modern interpretation of prog rock.

I also like songs that stand up lyrically, even sometimes maybe not that good musically but good story songs, happy or sad i.e Tell laura I love her, Running Bear, Honey, and possibly the geatest story song of all Paradise by the dashboard lights, but if I listen to it too much do get meloncoly, so then need a fun song, not necessarily happy story but a song to bring a smile back and my old reliable for this is of course, produced by Mr Womble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have noticed how much of this thread is you and the stories you and some others have, did you meet him? My first awareness of him was as a kid through the Wombles, but have listened to most of his stuff and am now listening to Schizophrenia for the first time in about 30 years, creatively a very clever man (didn't want to use "genius"!). Am about 10 pages back and between yourself and rubelca think you pretty much have my taste covered, though am/was Bowie fan and I don't really listen to much new stuff unless its on Jools Holland. Your post 25th June replying to Cornish Steve about classical music, I've always enjoyed it and the Proms are my guilty pleasure, especially LNotP. Your mention of Carmina Burana, it was the first classic opera I bought, because of the Old Spice advert, my dad, who knew, wouldn't tell me who it was, but gave me £10 (1983-4ish) told me to go into town to Circle records and find out what is was and buy it, and had so many trips to town where I only went to circle records. Quick side question Mike, as I'm not bothered about the sites points/reward system, am I correct in it's not worth liking posts that are years old?

No, never met Mike Batt, dad kept his work life and home life very separate. Met the odd DJ, Tony Blackburn and Jimmy Young spring to mind, Dave Lee Travis also but he was a total dick. As far as musicians Freddie Garrity and Barbara Dickson were about the extent of it, and funnily enough I met both again many years later when I was working in the industry. Liking posts or downvoting is, as you suggest, just a bit of fun most of the time; I don't think anyone really takes it seriously. Liking old posts carries the same "weight" as liking new posts though. Hf,Hr,Hwamp..PR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 Due to the publicity I thought I'd have a watch of the Adele thing with Oprah; she comes across as a decent lass but her music is just awful naval gazing for me, lovely voice but that's not enough.
