I watched all of the Beatles documentary over the course of about a month. It was both very boring and completely fascinating. Watching it also had the benefit of meaning I now just have Beatles songs permanently stuck in my head for January instead of Christmas songs like I normally would, which is much less depressing.

I watched it in three days after Christmas because I had no work but also no family or friends or generally anything to do. I loved the first episode then thought the second one was a bit dull until Billy Preston turned up like a human ray of sunshine, then I don't remember what happened in the third one until obviously the rooftop concert which is amazing. I think my favourite part was after George left and the rest of them just launch into an unhinged jam with Yoko on vocals and I found it completely exhilarating even though it was basically unlistenable

My favourite bit was every time George turned up in the morning looking like some sort of beautiful exotic bird.

My favourite bits:
Lovely, lovely Mal Evans.
Glyn Johns wardrobe, especially that big furry coat.
John's piss taking of introducing the Rolling Stones at the Rock'nroll Circus
Ringo.

I also enjoyed watching them go slowly mad from doing the same songs again and again, culminating in the demented ventriloquists’ version of two of us.

The first Godspeed You! Black Emperor album / demo tape has finally been leaked. The post-rock holy grail!

There's a download in the video description

oh wow. hooray

I have listened to this a couple of times now. Some of its great

some of it is unlistenable

but anyway i love it. hooray

i had long assumed that no copies of this existed any more since it had never appeared

but evidently i was wrong

unless it is the worlds most elaborate hoax

I really like this, but I felt at around the 20 minute mark it had outstayed its welcome a bit. I know that's not the done thing with this band, but I think I'll continue from where I left off later.

You can see why they didn't particularly want it to leak ever (some of the lyrics are pretty terrible!) but yeah I like it quite a lot on the whole. I'm surprised that it's so many short tracks, given their later work is the complete opposite!

Really like the big wall-of-sound guitars on Diminishing Shine and 333 Frames Per Second.

Not that there was really much doubt, but I guess this confirms it was the Real Deal:

I watched a video analysing Bobby 'Righteous Brother' Hatfield's performance of 'Unchained Melody', and found it utterly fascinatin'.

Steve Lamacq has never felt more alive.

No wonder Lydon sued. Still, nice to see the Actor, Kevin Eldon (he is playing Bill Grundy)

Hurrah! That's the only part I'd be interested in watching.

40 years since this absolute banger,

Hooray

I loved both the song and video when I was kid, and I've continued to love them both from then 'til now.

For some reason this was played in one of the episodes of some Australian thing I was watching on iplayer last night

Needless to say it’s now my favourite tv programme ever

I'm not that much of a Cardiacs fan, but Stoneage Dinosaurs is mighty!

All songs should have keyboard solos, and that's the product that delivers on that truth.

for some reason I feel drawn to this Icelandic synthpop group

(they're not really doing it for me though, sadly)

its about time this happened

There can only be one Vok

i like their profile pic, but not enough eggs

Essex in musical form.

I've got a hymn stuck in my head, and it's starting to annoy me now:

O Worship The King

I heard it during an episode of First Of The Summer Wine, so I've noone to blame but myself!

Gawd, that kicks some reet bottom, does that!

it really does.

I want to attempt to make music on the Amiga. Anyone got any advice on which tracker to use and where to obtain sound file disks. I think I know of ST-1 and ST-2. I think that number keeps going up. I'm half tempted to limit my choice because I have never made a music before.

ProTracker is the only Amiga one I've really heard of. I did a bunch of tracker music in my teens but it was all DOS stuff (ScreamTracker and then ImpulseTracker) and then a little bit on Windows (ModPlug I think?) before I moved onto other things

that might help. There are more links too if you scroll down. There used to be catalogues of sample mod discs you could order, one of which was based in harlow. Referenced here around 16:30. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9MXYZh1jcs&t=1s
