Doctor Who Themes (All of Them)  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkcHgI_TIYQ&feature=related



The Doctor Who theme has to be without a shadow of doubt the BEST music ever created.
loveforstitch - Does he fall in love? I like a little romance in all my movies.

Rekaert - Yes, he demonstrates it with bullets, punches and sentencing.

He's Mega City 1's own Don Juan.

The Who theme (the early versions at least) is still one of the oddest and most fascinating things I've ever heard. That video only credits Ron Grainer for his composition of that theme but it was my Sixties hipster crush, Delia Derbyshire, who physically arranged and gave that theme its spooky atmosphere and unique appeal.

On a completely different note, it was Rock Day on the nation's favourite Radio One yesterday, and the horrible Fearne Cotton had Bullet for My Valentine in the live lounge, covering Whole Lotta Rosie. They've never been on my list of favourite bands, but this rocks like a motherfucker. The solo's at 2m 25s, but unlike the rest of the cover, it's not anywhere near as good as Angus Young's original.

Today i have mostly been listening to The Kinks. Specifically their late 60's/early 70's back catalogue. Marvellous.

think they must of passed me by at the time (zar's own ali g) Die Antwoord

the music's ok but the visual is amazing - like watching the (now defunct) face magazine come to life:-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSAqO508XTQ

Good manners & bad breath get you nowhere

Today I'm mainly listening to the Four Seasons. This is so well known, thanks a lot to Nigel Kennedy I guess for us. This music is just very, very sensuous...to employ a really worn out cliche in trying to describe this masterpiece. But it's the first thing that comes to mind on hearing it, and one never tires of playing it on the stereo. The more familiar you become with this music, you wonder how someone could create music like this circa 300 years ago.

coming at a cinema near you soon

Brilliant band, amazing live!

I fucking love Youtube, me. Jarvis Cocker and Barry Adamson, and a single I could never find anywhere:

SET THE CONTROLS FOR THE HEART OF THE PELVIS

Dumb all over, a little ugly on the side.

Anyone for a 90's revival?

With tour dates announced, and remastered 2 disc editions of 30 something, and 1992 the love album out in the shops today, CARTER USM have been taking up all my stereo time, the last couple of days.

Bloody hell must dig out my Carter albums bloody used to love them. Mind last time I saw them (and this is going back) the'd somehow expanded to a 6 piece...

Wow Cud as a support too... mainstream indie pop heaven!

Carter are back to being just Jimbob and fruitbat now - (plus drum machine). Which is exactly how it should be.
The Sultans of Ping, and These Animal Men were the support for my last two Carter gigs. Top stuff.

Carter were alright, but I prefer Danny Baker. I watched Public Enemies at the weekend, which I enjoyed much more than I expected. The highlight was the slightly incongrous use of Otis Taylor's Ten Million Slaves to score Dillinger doing what Vince Cable and George Osbourne only talk about.

Frank

It can't be an original observation, but I never realised how much Igor Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring influenced the dynamics of the Jaws theme specifically, and John Williams's orchestration in general:

I WENT TO A COMPREHENSIVE SCHOOL AND MY DAD WAS A FIREMAN, YOU KNOW

Me! I'm currently gorging on old school shoegaze again, after falling for a lot of the recent American 'Nu-gaze'* bands. Folk like A Place To Bury Strangers, Pains of Being Pure at Heart and Ringo Deathstarr** are all superb and inspired me to dig out a lot of the originals (Ride, Moose, Slowdive, Drop Nineteens etc).

I never really stopped listening to My Bloody Valentine though.

* either the best or worst genre tag ever, can't decide

** probably the best/worst band name ever too, again delete as applicable,
