I'm at the moment 'back in Thomas Dolby', and he has produced Prefab Sprout, so I'm curious how Paddy explains his own music. - --- For the purists: Thomas mentions Brian Eno as one of his inspirers. Thomas describes it on his homepage (www.thomasdolby.com)like this: "Around 1973 I saw a late night TV show called The Old Grey Whistle Test. The band was Roxy Music. They had a pretty cool singer, but what really got to me was the keyboard player. He wore very high stacked heels, tight trousers and elbow-length leopard-skin gloves, and stood in front of the control panel of a Moog (no keyboard) with his arms crossed and a very aloof look on his face. Occasionally he would deign to reach forward and adjust a knob slightly. His name was Brian Eno, and I thought, that's all you have to do to make a ton of money and meet lots of girls! I'm gonna become a musician! I was right about the last part about becoming a musician. - ---- I have broadband, but my player RealPlayer switches from high bitrates (256 kbps) down to very slow (12 kbps). Well, slow if you also have video with it... (How quickly one adapts to higher bitrates... ;-) Do you, or anyone, know of ways how to control this? Further OT: - -o-o-o-o- Thomas Dolby was interviewed on BBC radio this week. You can hear it if you point your browser at: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/6music_aod.shtml?sequence_mon and wait for the RealAudio stream to load; you can then fast-forward in 5-minute chunks to the second hour of the broadcast which has Thomas in it. But hurry! This will only work until Monday 5th, when it'll be replaced by next week's edition. - -o-o-o-o- > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-avalon@smoe.org [mailto:owner-avalon@smoe.org]On Behalf Of > Daniel Atterbom > Sent: zaterdag 3 mei 2003 23:31 > To: avalon@smoe.org > Subject: [AVALON] OT: Paddy McAloon and Prefab Sprout > > If yoy like Paddy McAloon and Prefab Sprout and have broadband you can > watch 50 minutes of an interview from the Swedish TV at > > http://svt.se/svt/jsp/Crosslink.jsp?d=2771 > > Daniel ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 4 May 2003 14:27:08 +0200 From: "Anton van Lammeren" Subject: RE: [AVALON] offer of 5 2 CD-sets... Guess what!? No Dutchies have replied to my offer of the Manchester CD's... We're having way tooo long holidays over here, or are we bored with Our Man? The recording is not of radio-quality, but a very nice, complete, registration of this last tour. And I never heard Wooly Bully before... So I expand my offer to Europies! (I.e. people with snail-mail-addresses in Europe.)
