Pink Floyd...Roger Waters was looming over Gilmour and Nick "Giant > Crumpet" Mason by video linkup and yet you could still cut the tension > with a knife...and he clearly took Gilmours comment about 'passengers on > the bus' the wrong way! below is a transcript of their acceptance apparently... DG: Well, there's only two of us tonight. Rick's erm... I think he's in hospital. He's just had an eye operation, poor sausage! And, Roger's opening his opera tomorrow night I think in Rome. I think he's... oh, there he is.... (Roger appears on big video screen) NM : Scary.... DG :..to which we wish him the best of luck. And erm... to all the er... passengers on this fabulous ride we've been on erm including Syd, Roger, Michael, Steve O'Rourke, Tony Hudd and all those other people who have slipped off our tour bus at one point or another... cheers for them too. NM :Are we going to have a word from Roger? RW : You can have one, or even two, or three or four! I confess I never felt like a passenger but, not withstanding that, I am sorry I cant be here, er there tonight, erm.. All those eulogies were rather unnerving but I have to say very touching and er the response that we've have had over the years from our public is very moving, and not least when we were all together that day in July er this year.....er which was fantastic er for us.... and erm to revisit it then and seeing those scenes from it reminded me of how great that was all to be together again. Rick actually hasn't had an eye operation....he and I have eloped to Rome and we are living happily in a small apartment off the [Via Venuti]! Be that as it may, I thank you very much for this. It means a lot to me and thank you very much everybody NM : And thank you from me as well its erm.. can i have a go with it? Yeah, it is something to make up for nearly 40 year of having to listening to bad drummer jokes. I think. Although there is just one that I actually heard today that I thought.... yeah actually that sort of sums it up really. Its a small boy who says to his mother, "When I grow up, I am going to be a drummer". His mother laughs and looks at him pityingly and says, "You cant do both"! DG : Well done, Nick! You did your best! ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 20 Nov 2005 09:47:11 -0800 (PST) From: Ari Subject: [idealcopy] Political joke..................... At last.... A bumper sticker for both parties. FINALLY, someone has come out with a 100% bipartisan political bumper sticker. The hottest selling bumper sticker comes from New York State: "2008 - RUN HILLARY RUN" Democrats put it on the rear bumper. Republicans put it on the front bumper __________________________________ Yahoo!

Watson released some CDs of his field recordings on Touch, one of which contains an incredible recording of vultures feasting on a zebra carcass, with clip mics on the ribs, so you are quite literally *in there*... Watson related a story about arriving back in London shortly after that recording was made, when he had to record an interview with some Whitehall mandarin for a press conference with very little prep time, and the only clip mics he had on him were the zebra ones, which, after they were affixed to pinstripe lapel, Watson noticed that there were still bits of dried blood and hair, and zebra viscera attached... Watson did a talk at his kids' secondary school, to a bunch of 8 - 9 year olds, and before playing them the zebra recording, said "If you are ever going to be eaten alive by vultures, these are the last sounds that you will ever hear". Three of them burst into tears... (bless 'em !). Fergus ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 21 Nov 2005 01:49:55 +0000 From: Tim Subject: Re: [idealcopy] THE PRISONER - NEW SERIES...

Actually did you know Dads Army is coming back as well? I'm producing it. It takes some liberties with original, Its just an hour long film of some wobbly green shapes filmed in Super8..with a soundtrack by Merzbow, occasionally broken by Iraqi prisoners of War shouting "You Stupid Boy!" Its shit but I bet its better than this remake of The Prisoner! ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 21 Nov 2005 02:11:08 +0000 From: Tim Subject: [idealcopy] OT British Sea Power verdict I've always thought I should dig BSP but their records never really did it for me, but thought i'd see them live to see if could 'get' them, so I went to see them tonight cos someone had a spare ticket. Sorry folks, I still don't get it. They sound like a very average 1987 stylee indie/bunnymen/teardrops type band....only with a stuffed owl perched on an amp and some branches on stage. They are very imaginative in their presentation. Their record sleeves look brilliant and they have very nice T-shirts which echo Peter Savilles sleeves for 'Ceremony'. They wear a kind of early Spandau Ballet/ACR kit on stage which works well. I applaud the idea of playing odd venues and starting their tour in Barrow.... But the music just doesn't live up to it. They use some very obvious, well worn chord patterns and the kind of melodies where I feel I know exactly what note is coming next even though I've never heard the song before. Original images. Boring, Cliche-ridden music. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 20 Nov 2005 23:03:45 -0600 From: David McKenzie Subject: Re: [idealcopy] Invalid county me arse ! New York envy perhaps?
