maryportfuncity 10,616 Posted July 27, 2018 Keep banging on about this site but when they blog the really weird stuff they're doing a public service. Over the last few days Mr Weird and Wacky has offered up downloads of the strange and truly out there works of Stockhausen culminating in the Helicopter Quartet (yeah, seriously - a string quartet who all play whilst hovering above the audience in helicopters!) Put it this way, it's an audio window on a world the rest of us struggle to imagine and for as long as Mr W&W is willing to share the love it's available for free: http://mrweirdandwacky.blogspot.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't advanced very far though, but thanks - I'll keep that in mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TQR 14,352 Posted July 27, 2018 I'm in the garden listening to someone else listening, at volume, to various Eminem tracks. It's so easy to relax, reclined, in the serene 34C sun, with a beer, to "HI" "MY NAME IS" "WHAT?" "MY NAME IS" "WHO" "MY NAME IS" "CHICKA CHICKA CHICKA SLIM SHADY" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,210 Posted July 29, 2018 There was a period where I wasn’t a fan of Bruce Springsteen, but I’m starting to get back into him. This album is great btw: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toast 16,063 Posted July 29, 2018 @Joey Russ Here's a brilliant out-take from that album. Played as a request at Hyde Park 2012. This was hilarious and still makes me laugh. I'm somewhere out in that crowd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TQR 14,352 Posted July 29, 2018 This is excellent. Came on a couple of minutes ago on Absolute Radio. My personal favourite of theirs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TQR 14,352 Posted July 30, 2018 She's great, is Lorde. It's refreshing to see/hear a young pop star with genuine talent. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,210 Posted July 30, 2018 While I’m personally not a huge fan of her, I can agree that she definitely has much more talent than many members of the shit pop music industry today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,616 Posted August 1, 2018 Any more shares and I'll get the site to pay me a fee but Mr Weird and Wacky is on fire today having finally located and shared a copy of the infamous Fingerless Fiddler album (pretty much what you might imagine - but he can really play) Link: http://mrweirdandwacky.blogspot.com/?zx=8f3de6b3c7092f0d Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,616 Posted August 1, 2018 Oh aye, and while we're at it This lot blogged links earlier this week to every note - legitimate and otherwise - ever released by The Beatles: Link: http://revolutionrock012.blogspot.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,397 Posted August 2, 2018 This, because I found an unnamed copy on a custom CD from my uni days and was trying to track down which Conte track it was. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TQR 14,352 Posted August 2, 2018 The Manics always liked a long song title. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TQR 14,352 Posted August 2, 2018 As it turns out, that song title is absolutely nothing. This here...isn't a very good song. But it is called "Regretting What I Said to You When You Called Me 11:00 On a Friday Morning to Tell Me that at 1:00 Friday Afternoon You're Gonna Leave Your Office, Go Downstairs, Hail a Cab to Go Out to the Airport to Catch a Plane to Go Skiing in the Alps for Two Weeks, Not that I Wanted to Go With You, I Wasn't Able to Leave Town, I'm Not a Very Good Skier, I Couldn't Expect You to Pay My Way, But After Going Out With You for Three Years I DON'T Like Surprises!!

msc 18,397 Posted August 2, 2018 A wrestling podcast, which I mention solely to bring up that mid match discussion they made a gag about "Lawler needs to check the weather forecast from Tomasz Schafernaker", immediately causing me to do a double take and wonder if Deathray has been secretly running a wrestling podcast all this time.

TQR 14,352 Posted August 2, 2018 While on the subject of song titles, one of the most intriguing bands in the world has got to be the Metal Grindcore band Anal Cunt. The purposefully shocking titles of their songs beggar belief - just look up the tracklist of their 1999 album 'It Just Gets Worse'. Actually, if you're easily upset, don't. Not to say, of course, that the album is necessarily worth listening to, or any song of that genre for that matter. But here's an example of it, the opening track of the aforementioned album, 'I Became A Counsellor So I Could Tell Rape Victims They Asked For It'. Not to your taste? How about the penultimate track, 'I Sold Your Dog To A Chinese Restaurant'? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
