And already we're into the last update for May. Isn't time just flying?
First off this week we have the return of an old friend, as
Antonio updates
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...ng-ground.html for the first time in a year, with a review of
You're dead! by Flying Lotus and a little inside information on what he's been up to all this time...
... and
Aux-in has been setting up a Review Randomiser in
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...continuum.html which this week yields, among others, ASTR, Foxy as Fox and Mercer ...
... while we all know what
Batty has been up to! Oh yeah, and reading comics.
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...-oblivion.html and see him investigate the world of Ultimates by Mark Millar.
Persona 2, Streetfighter 2 and
Mortal Kombat 2 ... and 1. See a pattern here? Then head over to
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...ms-nes-ps.html where
Black Francis will satisfy the inner game nerd in you and perhaps bring back fond memories of your childhood. If you had one. Unlike me.
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...63-2013-a.html is up to 2008 and he's looking at The Bird and The Bee, Tigerstyle, Flying Lotus and Boduf Songs among others. Soon be caught up! Whatcha gonna do then
Goofle?
Plans are still well in hand for the wedding of the century, but
innerspaceboy also has to to kick off The Retrobox Project. What's that? Step this way...
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...nnerspace.html
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...band-week.html continues as
joenorwood77 looks into Avenged Sevenfold
and
Oriphiel has chapter eleven in
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...rgy-story.html
Plainview is getting ito the Velvet Underground in
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...attention.html
and there's a new entry in
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...o-reviews.html as he looks at Brandon Flowers' new release. It's unscripted by the way, so be kind to him.
Not that much in my journals this week. There's an interesting observation on Gary Numan in
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...d-journal.html while
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...-emporium.html has another “Surprising and Unexpected Moment in Movie History”, but yeah, that's about it. I know. Been busy with my “Love or Hate” thread...
No new entries in
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...y-history.html this week, as
Unknown Soldier tells us he has yet to listen to all the albums he needs to for 1985. In the meantime, he promises some more 1984 albums to fill out the time. Sounds interesting. Meanwhile the boys are up to
Tambu in
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...78-2015-a.html.
No prizes for guessing who's being welcomed back after a year in the wilderness! With a “Victory Screech!” Antonio rejoins us for what we hope will not be just a fleeting visit. Good to have you back man!
Once I saw this post in “Pounding Decibels” there was no doubt at all that it was going to be my
Proof from Plankton that you
can change a top forty mindset, one person at a time. Rock on!

GF: "You're an *******"
Me: "Why? What'd I do?"
GF: "That guitar player"
Me: "Was it that bad?"
GF: "No."
Me: "Well, whats wrong then?"
GF: "You ruined all my music"
Me: "I did what?"
GF: "I can't listen to this anymore, it sounds like crap"
Me: "Good"
I gave her the cassette tape and went and bought another one.

Been a whole lot of talking and exchanging misty-eyed memories in
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...ms-nes-ps.html, so Black Francis wins another award this week, for having the busiest and liveliest journal. Well done! Now how do I use this emulator again??
So that's the last update for May. Just imagine, next week we'll be halfway through the year! Only two hundred and fifteen shopping days left to ... okay okay! I'm going! Sheesh!
Till next week,
Toodles!
