If memory serves, which isn't often, they equate the Beatles drug taking to drinking tea 'and biscuits'. Add that to the DVD list. Best DVD I've see for a while must be Downfall, quite heavy but superb. Funny you should mention Neil Young, after only 2 listens I love 'Prairie Wind'. The Simpsons 'Raven' if you want a great mix of comedy and Poe. Last couple of books I've read were both by Glen Duncan, check out 'I Lucifer' BTW what's a TA? I'm a Technical Architect at the mo? - -----Original Message----- From: owner-seven-seas@smoe.org [mailto:owner-seven-seas@smoe.org] On Behalf Of jswee Sent: 05 November 2005 18:35 To: seven-seas@smoe.org Subject: seven-seas Music & Films O/T Hi, Bought a great comedy today called the "Rutles" fantastic & I would recommend it to anyone ! I watched it years ago & now it's on DVD. It's a spoof documentay about a fictional band called the "Rutles" based on the Beatles. It has characters like Dirk McQuickly (Paul mcCartney based on), Ron Nasty (John Lennon Character), Barry Wom (Ringo Starr) & a George Harrison character who becomes a air hostess for air india. It has classic album's like "Tragical History Tour", "Let it Rot" & many more. There is a cameo roll by George Harrison as a reporter. The funniest part is where Eric Idle as the documentary bloke goes to the Rat Kueller (in Hamburg) - priceless humour. It had me in stitches all afternoon ! The part in New Orleans was just brilliant as well ! I watch world cinema films (arteficial eye films are normally brilliant !), comedy & have a really good DVD sellection. I recently ordered the Clayhill album "small circle" which is brilliant from Virgin. I now have both the acoustic album & limited addition ! "Northern Soul" is better than any track I've heard for a long time & "Grasscutter" is just fantastic ! It's hard to pidgeon hole the style of music very much Bunnymen/Neil Young & lyrically as clever as McCulloch. I would suggest this is a must album the lyrics are melancoly at times, some possible allegories & sung from the heart ! all the best Jon Sweeney. Ps Raj I think it is tough moving universities & I think it is important to educate yourself ! I do think literature in school is not eclectic enough & perhaps even at universities. I learn alot from the internet about things like Mythology & poetry. In Seamus Heaney there are references to Nordic Mythology for example, I prefer other poets but it does interest me ! There are a lot of books now I wish I read from my time as a student. Globalisation & political geography I loved at Leeds Uni 1 I'd read a book by a lecturer called Trevor Jones at Leeds which delt with spacial aspects of crime & subcultural theory. He taught at JMU & I'd wished I'd had a greater conversation about these aspects. I think it would be great to surpass a lecturer in theories but I love being a TA at a special needs school. ===================================================================== Bunnymen Online Presence: http://www.bunnymenlist.com * http://www.bunnymen.info * http://www.bunnymen.com * http://www.fotolog.net/sgtfuzz/ * http://www.villiersterrace.com * http://www.angelfire.com/wy2/discog/ * http://www.softskull.com/detailedbook.php?isbn=1-887128-89-6 * ====================================================================== ===================================================================== Bunnymen Online Presence: http://www.bunnymenlist.com * http://www.bunnymen.info * http://www.bunnymen.com * http://www.fotolog.net/sgtfuzz/ * http://www.villiersterrace.com * http://www.angelfire.com/wy2/discog/ * http://www.softskull.com/detailedbook.php?isbn=1-887128-89-6 * ====================================================================== ------------------------------ End of seven-seas-digest V4 #526 ********************************
