My tipster acquaintance Mr Armitage Shanks wanted to get something off his ample chest and dictated the following down the blower: "It's a crying shame there appears to be no access to the beautiful, inspiring music of Ronnie Hazlehurst on the new compact disc format (I have several of his records on 78 but alas the infernal machine went up the spout in 1979). In my view, Sir Ronald is up there with Elgar, Britten and Tippett amongst our country's finest composers - for example, his seminal Theme from Are You Being Served is one seriously funky tune, and one which I'm told had a big influence on The Pink Floyd's song Money, whoever they might be. The Two Ronnies (no relation) credits, Reggie Perrin, Yes Minister, Bergerac - classics as far as the eye can see. And as for Theme to Blankety Blank, well, it's 38 seconds of pure aural heaven. I'll state here and now that I would pay at least £3.99 plus p+p to get my sweaty palms on The Greatest Hits of Ronnie Hazlehurst, so I implore any record label bods out there to put the wheels in motion" Yours ever, Armitage Shanks -

Music? Of the 'artier' variety? So this would be the place to discuss the Wurzels then, would it? Cheers, BHB It would. What'd you like say about them - that Never Mind the Bullocks is the acme of postmodern popular music and that their version of Tubthumping is the single greatest artistic creation of the Western hemisphere? Something like that? -
Things To Do While Waiting For Death... 2007

Great idea - but why are they using pictures of The Human League to advertise it? Perhaps it's to encourage you to die, as their music is sh*t and I'd rather listen to the sound of my own entrails being pulled out my arse with a rusty pair of tongs as I take my last gasp than listen to that lop-sided nob jockey and his two talentless bitches. Gosh, shall I whizz over to the Room 101 thread? Don't you want me, Lardy? I hate them. I hate them as much as I hate Anthea Turner and Les Dennis. And Cilla Black. And Michael Barrymore. And Tom f*****g Cruise. It's sad that we loathe the likes of Ross and Norton more than Stalin or Hitler, but that's just the way it goes I guess -

No matter, I always enjoyed playing MMM in a shop packed full of German tourists at Camden Market on a Sunday. Especially just before closing time. -

Had a brief search but couldn't find a specific thread to chat about music, particularly of the artier variety - if there is one please bung this in there, musical mods. Anyway, was just watching the Scott Walker doc on BBC - very interesting bloke, even though I'd rather listen to Metal Machine Music 24 hours a day than hear most of his later stuff just the once. Ignoramous though I most undoubtedly am. I expect a firm rebuttal from Anubis at any moment. -

Yes, they were successfully sued by the pilot of the "WW2 Bomber Found on the Moon", which was subsequently proved to have been located on Mars. -

I remember Opus. In the summer of 1985 I must have heard that stupid f*****g "Live is life" song, which made no sense, about a billion times. If it were "Life is Live" (as in alive) that would be ok, even "Life is Life", while redundant and inane, would at least have not been grammatically incorrect. But "Live is Life"? What the hell were they talking about? Nazis. Although oddly enough at no time in the lyric do they actually sing 'live is life' (preferring to remain redundant and inane), and neither does DJ Otzi in his own, no doubt inimitable, version. I need to get a live. Opus as Nazis, eh? Hardly, when you consider that their song was also covered by these lovely people Laibach - a Slovenian band whose name derives from that of their home town (Ljubljana) under Nazi occupation. Delightful chaps, really - and you ought to check out their interpretation of Status Quo's dismal "In the Army Now". Thank you for that info Twelvetrees, Laibach really are hilarious fellows. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvRhOpqZO7I http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OF0AqPujjaM...ted&search= Good to see them getting such an extensive semi-thread (Laibach, not Opus) as they have plenty in common with Deathlist - morally dubious, irreverent, often ridiculous but occasionally with something of interest to say. I know you all want just a little more, so here's a situationist deconstruction (it says here) of The Final Countdown. Still reckon they should've got Hazell Dean as guest vocalist, mind. -

Armitage is big game hunting in Kenya at the moment, but he sent me a telegram which simply reads: Newmarket 3pm, Yossi. A man of few words is Mr Shanks, at least when he's paying by them.

At least one of us has played on the hallowed turf, I happen to know. No, it's not me, unfortunately.

I think it's fair what the mod has done, why talk children on a forum like this, it may look like bad taste, even if it is not meant that way. I happy for it to be a kid free zone! Hey, Dodge! I drove past you on the M56 last night. A bright yellow hearse with your logo on the side is not difficult to spot! Ooh, it's like Steve Stills meeting Neil Young all over again. Only in Cheshire. -
