you made my left beard look sulky. now I will have to go and stroke it. sheesh. |
||||||||
|

It's a good word though, isn't it? Although of quite limited use. |
||||||||
|

Just how many beards do you actually own? |

DS9mm knows what I'm on about. I wonder if there really is some great arc of influentiual artists. I think people just make use of what's around them, and are more influenced by the technology than the other way round. Advances in recording equipment gave rise to Musique Concrete, like cheap computers led to the charmless boom in 8bit breakcore. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but even that technological advancement can be enough of an influence - like I said before, a lot of this advancement comes from accomodations made especially for a composer to be able to make what he wants. so a person can be influenced by a composer he hasn't ever heard a note from, just by using some piece of technology that was, originally, specifically created for that composer. and is such an influence of less value then the other? I sincerely have no fucking clue. :) |

then there is the idea that humans constantly absorb the world around them and recycle this. you'll be hard pressed to find any piece of newly created artwork that even comes close to being a true "original" - in fact, it isn't even really impossible anymore. new art is simply the recycling of older ideas into (hopefully) new combinations - again, there would be influence from the artists someone has studied within their discipline. more interesting maybe then is "outsider art", which is created by people who have hardly any formal connection to art anyway and therefore can create some pretty bizarre and even unique stuff. I don't know where this is leading.. :) I guess I'm just saying I think it's pretty obvious an artist will be influenced at least indirectly (or subconciously) by other artists simply because humans are constantly influenced by the world around them and even more so by the things in that world that interest them. I'll shut the fuck up now. |

"impossible" should read "possible". never use the preview-button, ladies and gentlemen, never look back. |
||||||||

You're right, of course. But I think we read too much into things and try to form some sort of evolutionary narrative. We are all influenced by all sorts of things, not just music but all manner of "stuff". I think we can't discount the heritage and lineage in work produced by our top fave music artists, but we should also recognise the individual response which is reacting not only to music history but to what happened to them over the past 17-35 years and what crappy films the saw and if the macaroni they had on their 14th birthday was too salty or not. Now I have no idea of what I am talking about. |

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

|

the actor on the left is the spit of my old psychology teacher. so much so i had to check his name to make sure it wasn't his brother. it wasn't. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
He does look dead familiar but I can't place him. |
||||||||
|

and is the abomination which reeks of 'our ratings are dropping let's revamp the music, that's bound to do the trick' |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he was also in the onedin line. sorry, no post for that, although the music was AMESOME. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ahhhh, of course. It appears i never looked under H on TVcream and therefore missed gems such as Harry's Game and Hazell. My favorite description though is for the Chinese Detective "GROUNDBREAKY ETHNOSLEUTH twatter with DAVID YIP as Ho, sorting out the Triads from the Tripods in London's much-vaunted melting pot. " |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
haha, yeah they do have a way with words |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

still no threads re-issue :( |

I like their description of Pipkins "the infamous "rainy day" episode, where a series of straightforward parlour games were invariably ruined by Hartley's Freudian obsession with a fish-slice."... and I just shat myself reading their description of the Doppleganger episode of Dramarama. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i have a vivid memory of describing an episode of dramarama to my late grandfather. i don't think he had a clue what i was on about. wasn't it tales of the unexpected for kids? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I just soiled myself again. Wasn't there a Dramarame [Spooky] offshoot? My brother would know. If I can remember the program that used to be a combination of a film-based quiz and then they'd show amateur films made by school kids, and they showed the weirdest, most horrible film aboust some clay/plasticine blob-zoid appearing in graveyards with "Ice Cream I scream" written on the walls, then I can die happily. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's a bit odd. i was playing somewhere in my heart by aztec camera, and lo & behold the dramaram theme tune sounds rather similar. christ, i'm not going to bed until it gets light now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Spooky. I found out now the programme I was after was Screen Test. But now I want to know what the prgramme was that had a couple of spoilt Victorian children in some big house or other, and there was an audience of guy fawks type dummies in the basement, the ugly wuglys or something. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If BOC owe their career to the theme tune from Sorry then Christ. owes his to the theme from Picture Box. What the fuck was that box anyway? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i have no idea whatsoever. but was it really necessary to make all these childrens program intros so fucking scary? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

"I wish those musicians would not allow themselves any repetitions, and would go faster in developing their ideas or their findings, because I don't appreciate at all this permanent repetitive language. It is like someone who is stuttering all the time, and can't get words out of his mouth." Heheh. |
||||||||

|

|
"day of the triffids" BBC-style is indeed, very EXCELLENT! |

Does your mum come back to england sometimes qrter? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
she went a few months back, visiting her two sisters and her dad, Durham-stylee. and then one of the nieces threw a hissy fit and spoiled my mum's vacation. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hmmmm! My mum has just turned 60 and she's going nuts! do you come to england ever? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I haven't been there in years.. last time was when I was 15 I think, so about 12 years ago, I guess. that's a long time ago, I now realise. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Come over and I'll cook some traditional feast. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that sounds lovely. does "traditional feast" mean "thing with fat all over it"? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yorkshire pudding and jelly. |
