maryportfuncity 10,658 Posted January 24, 2015 I like the Legend soundtrack.The Keep for me. He made the news headlines on Radio Four this morning. It's great that newsrooms all round are packed with anal types who bought albums and probably smoked a few big ones to them back in the day. Seriously, anyone who nudged the UK charts or once called themselves a cult hero are all provably obitable now. Froese is way better than - say - 20% of Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Titch in this dept. But an obit is an obit, and there may well be points aplenty in future years if we pick popsters.

Imelda 621 Posted January 26, 2015 It's great that newsrooms all round are packed with anal types who bought albums and probably smoked a few big ones to them back in the day.The range of stuff you can hear in TV docs etc is amazing. Re-watched a BBC documentary about IK Brunel yesterday (yeah the one for the Greatest Britons series but it's actually rather good) and it had slabs of Pete Namlook and Aphex Twin in it. Someone somewhere was having a laugh, but it actually all works rather well in context, certainly the use of Rhubarb as background for the tragic failure of the SS Great Eastern and Brunel's death.The BBC of course do not have to pay for any music they use, so the aural world is their oyster.

wildstorm 297 Posted January 28, 2015 Daisy Berkowitz back on chemo and cancelling shows. He said back in october that he was doing fine and the cancer was under control so something went clearly down south since then. https://www.facebook...875887759102572 My apologies to everyone concerned; I have to cancel my performance tonight at The Delancey. I restarted full chemo treatment this week and am way too fatigued to get downtown and put on a good show. Sorry. Next time. he's been giving updates (c/w photos) about his condition on his gofundme page (which he started to help cover some of his living expenses) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have you seen the British cartoon strip of our version of Breaking Bad, it's about six frames in which a guy is diagnosed with cancer, starts to worry about paying for treatment and then the doctor explains about the NHS! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, I've seen that and shown it to several friends here. My manager's son was taken to hospital a couple of months ago, even though they took x-rays they claimed that it was just a bad sprain on his wrist and thumb. A couple of months later, he was in agony and it turns out he had broken a couple of bones in that area of his hand that didn't grow back correctly. Now they have to break the bones again in his hand and reset them. He is now being hit with a $17K medical bill which insurance will only pay less than half of that, but it's still a hefty amount that he has to pay out.

That story has malpractice suit written all over. regards, Hein I believe they're starting legal procedures once they have established the full extent of the damage done. e.g. if he can't play particular sports any more which may have prevented him from getting a scholarship for collage etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
