Enjoyed that one too. Why aren't Bob's new journal entries posted/linked at the top of the homepage as Alan's FTRs are? ETA: Thanks Nicole.

Free Cruise Clocks

It is now!

Bob beat us to it.  

New soundtrack!

This time Bob discusses Britpop, from Supergrass, to the Super Furry Animals and the Smiths. Make sure to check out the tunes he highlights.

Every depressed gay teenager has a favourite Smiths song, and despite being neither of those, I absolutely love ‘This Charming Man’.

Thanks for posting this on the front page right away!  I got to read it first thing!

Everyone likes to have something to do, can you find the spelling errors in my post?

New soundtrack from Bob! This time he talks about a folk revival in the 70s.

As you go further back into the 70s, and even earlier, folk music tends to separate itself into hippie/non hippie. The hippies certainly embraced the old-fashioned vibe and earthy instruments associated with the genre, but those of a more psychedelic bent often added some serious weirdness to the recipe

All I can say about this one is "OMB" you'll see why!

"I can wiggle my bum and I can slide on my tummy..." - Bob, Horatio the Penguin

Bob would have fit in nicely with the group of freaks I hung out with in high school.  I was never that into Hard Core, but many of my friends were, so I've heard most of the music he refers to.  How I would love to shoot the s*** about music with Bob sometime, possibly at the Triangle, up in the "snug." I'll even buy.

Viscountess Sharneliz the Sonorous of Goosnargh on the Carpet

Proverbs 15:15 All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.
In other words: "Wey, hey, hey, it's just an Ordinary Day, and its all your state of mind!"

Sharn, I know what you mean I keep discovering a lot of similarities. Anyhow, it's amazing that many people that I know and that enjoy listening to folk used to be deeply immersed in the Gothic and/or Punk music scene - myself included. Very funny that... *lol*

 

Cheers!
