Just finished Making a Murderer.

It gets a little bogged down, by necessity, in the trial phase, but it's never less than gripping. I watched half of it mouth agape at what I was seeing and hearing.

It's fantastic long form documentary making.

Just beware that your blood will boil as you watch. It's one of the most infuriating things I've watched.

Just finished watching. It was excellent, but I'm absolutely furious now.

I also got Neil Young tickets today. One of my heroes.

Kevin is the best, but Pat is pretty formidable as well.

The best Rush song I've ever heard was performed by Metallica. They covered Astronomy on their Garage Inc. album.

That's a Blue Oyster Cult track I think. Great song though.

Allen Toussaint has passed away, sad news.

Rudy can't fail.

The ball control from Gestede has been horrible to watch.

South Birmingham here, used to hear it called an outdoor when I was a kid but not heard it for some time now.

That, some point in the past, one of my ancestors spend time loitering at the docks.

Best of luck for Friday sir!

Proud history, bright future...

Any more unusual spelling and pronunciations of names because this is quite the thrill?

Did I ever post about the fellow I used to know whose name was Henry, only to give you an idea of how much of an individualist he was, he spelled it Hen3ry (the three was silent, you see).

Tom Lehrer, nice one!

Any idea what time you're on?

Yule (joulu) Goat (pukki) is the literal translation of those two words, although the actual word Joulupukki just means Santa rather than Yule goat. I'm reliably informed that the Swedish one is wrong as well.

That reminds me of a (kinda) joke. Londonderry is the only city in the world where the first 6 letters are silent

I'm reminded of a fellow I used to know called "Henry", only to give you an idea of how much of an individualist he was, he spelled it Hen3ry... the "3" was silent, you see.

Tom Lehrer, well done sir!

Flyaways and casers for me.

That I can't get into the tantalisingly-titled Lingerie thread. **** you, Websense!

It's unspeakably erotic as well!

Incredible eyes!!

I'm also a DBT fan, great band. Southern Rock Opera, what an album!

It's fine now. I got an error message when I tried to add the £20 donation option to my shopping cart, but just checked and it works fine. Probably a problem at my end.

Donations worked fine for me too, although the £20 donation option didn't seem to work. Is this the same for anyone else?

I thought this thread was for c d/ vinyl, not downloads or streams?

Anyhoo, I got this on vinyl today...

It's rather good considering Mike Love is involved

Surprisingly good isn't it? I'm off to see them on Friday, hope it's a good one.

How was it?

BTW Mike Love is still a knob

It was excellent, although Wembley Arena is about as soulless a venue as I've ever been to.

Brian was in good voice and seemed to enjoy it, as was Al. Mike was **** embarrassing though, absolutely zero stagecraft and comes across as a creepy clearing in the woods (funny that...). His vocals were also poor, but then he was never the greatest was he.

The backing band was predominantly the same as the one that supported Brian for the Smile tour I think. They were excellent, totally carried the show. Decent setlist too, not just the hits.

Beach Boys at Wembley Arena next friday, very excited indeed.

A quick web search suggests 11 English players have played for Real Madrid:

England (11): Beckham, Cunningham, Johnson, Lindsey, Linney, McManaman, Owen, Stampher, Vickerstaff, Wallace and Woodgate.

Apart from the obvious 5 I'm stumped on the rest!
