I try to avoid ghost notes because they tend to scare me. I thank you

Just watched the show on iplayer and the mix sounded very good through my 2.1 setup. Always something different on there that usually takes my interest and sends me on a Google frenzy It was Davina and the Vagabonds this time around.

And not only but also, before starting a band Marc Almond worked for an aggressive tele-sales outfit. He went from Hard Sell to Soft Cell. True dat.

And I hope you're a really long way up. [/quote] Yep. Micky please just 'let it go, let it goooooo...'. Oh god, not that Frozen song again

[quote name='KingBollock' timestamp='1429098149' post='2747911'] Everything I have heard of Radiohead, except Creep. Meatloaf's I Will Do Anything For Love There are songs that I used to love, and still would, but can't listen to because they bring back bad memories and just cripple me. [/quote] Ditto to Radiohead.

[quote name='pfretrock' timestamp='1429034991' post='2747266'] That's the method quoted in The Haynes Fender Bass Manual (by Andy Gibson) with loosened strings. Although he said he "does not do this in front of a client - it looks horrendous" [/quote] I do find it slightly ironic that a book about Fender was written by a Mr Gibson

[quote name='ras52' timestamp='1429003392' post='2746797'] Will they be playing live? [/quote] Yes there are plans for a tour, supported by Earth. Wind and Fire have prior commitments unfortunately.

[quote name='sprocketflup' timestamp='1428958304' post='2746495'] I heard they were reworking 'Sweet Ohm Alabama' [/quote] Wasn't it the Electric Light Orchestra?

[quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1428951418' post='2746375'] Current reports are that Van der Graaf Generator were approached about the project but were decidedly neutral. [/quote] Bit of a shock, if you ask me.

[quote name='ras52' timestamp='1428937164' post='2746118'] The Groundhogs called it a day? [/quote] Not for the first time, either.

Enough of all this talk of kettle leads. Anyone for a cuppa?
