Update for week ending February 16 2014
I'd just like to open with a brief tirade: ahem.
I HATE THE IRISH HEALTH SERVICE!!! There. All done now. Let's go. Anteater is moving on now that he's brought us all up to speed on the career of Gino Vanelli, and in some “Random reviews” he's looking at an album by Bob Drake, as well as five movies you can watch for free on YouTube! It's all here in http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...n-dollars.html Butthead crying? Butthead?? Believe it, and stagger with almost dazed wonder to http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...therapy-s.html to find out what it takes to make tears roll down that tough, manly face! Apparently, for no reason I can discern that stands up to any sort of scrutiny, it's Justin Bieber week! God help us! Kicking this off is Briks, where down in the depths of http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...seur-cave.html he's forcing himself to listen to and review the pretty boy's latest, er, album I suppose you'd have to call it. And if you think that's bad, read on... Yeah, DJ is at it too! Having secured the release of his data from the Cloud with presumably the promise of his firstborn son, we get http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...chameleon.html for the first time in weeks now, and he's showing us that bloody album as well! Honestly guys! Have yiz no pride? You wouldn't find me doing that... Gotta have some standards! Good to see ya back though man! Although he has categorically stated “this is not a journal”, I feel that Freebase Dali's status as a member here demands I mention http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...nd-i-like.html, which is where he's going to drop, well, songs he likes and wants to remember. More may develop, you never know, but for now I think we look on this as FD's personal music version of Dropbox... What's Goofle listening to this week? Check out http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...ening-log.html to find out. Oh all right then I'll give you a clue: Lumbar, Arctic Monkeys, Katy B, Coat Hangers... Speaking of people it's good to see back (I recognise the irony in that statement, yes) Janszoon favours us with an entry in http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...sible-man.html. I had hoped this was coming, as he mentioned something about some album being good to write to late at night, so my hopes were high. Luckily I guessed right, and this week we hear about his crossing over into the good side of town, the affluent side (The Invisible Man, that is, not Jansz: and has anyone else noticed the acronym is TIM? Huh? Huh?) and joining a party, boogeying to the Balkan music of Goran Bregnovich. Again, not my style at all musically but always worth it for the prose. Another fine entry Jansz, especially the last sentence! Having sorted himself out after his frankly inexcusable absence last week () Ki is back and in http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...nal-music.html he has music from Devin Townsend, Paradise Lost and Pokemon as well as the officially worst ELP album ever made. Plankton has a new journal! In http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...-mellowed.html he's looking at songs that relax him, chill him out, starting off with Jeff Beck and The Gypsy Kings. Will certainly be worth keeping tabs on. After coming to an amicable arrangement with my lawyers, Powerstars is now contractually obliged and required to review a Pink Floyd album. He's chosen “Dark side” (good man!) --- hear his thoughts in http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...sicalness.html Speaking of me (were we?) there's a bit happening in my journals this week. In http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...d-journal.html we have attempted to bring some soul music in, and are reviewing albums by George Benson and Luther Vandross in a new section I'm calling, with stunning originality, “Soul2Soul”, cos there are two albums each time. Geddit? Soul 2 ... aw forget it then. What? No, not that's it. Nothing else this week. Hmm? Oh. Yeah. Well I suppose there is that. Yes, people, I have been guilted into reviewing the damn Bieber album too. Spoiler for those of you who don't want to know: Spoiler for What I thought of "Believe" (May surprise you!):
What do you mean, is that it? Didn't I tell you I was writing tons of stuff for the Couch Potato? What do you mean, you don't believe me? No, you can't see it! Cos it's top secret, eyes only is why! I could show it to you but then I'd have to kill you. Look, trust me, it's just better this way. Some of this stuff will blow your mind. Maybe. All --- or some – will be revealed next week. Promise. Look, would I lie to you? Everyone's getting excited about, and involved in http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...y-history.html now that Unknown Soldier has hit that time period where many of us grew up and began to get into metal. Ah the early eighties! The NWOBHM was at its height and wonderful bands like Motorhead and Judas Priest were making their mark. In fact, that's what you'll find in his journal this week: Motorhead and Judas Priest. And much more to come! I tell ya, that takes me back... Urban's been working on both his journals this week. In http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...nal-stuff.html you'll find a sort of review of Floyd's “Ummagumma” (!) while there's plenty going on over at http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...who-thing.html, with the apparently hilarious “The web planet” as well as a tribute to director Chris Barry, who passed away recently. And finally, YorkeDaddy is the fourth one of us to rise to the challenge of (or be fooled into) reviewing the Bieber album. To get the nasty taste out of his mouth though he's also presenting his top 100 albums in a list. It's all about http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...-personal.html And now, to our I thought about being really smart and posting my review of Justin Bieber's “Believe” in the style of Urban, but come on: I'm not going to pick one of my own posts, am I? So here instead is Butthead in a rare sensitive moment. Enjoy! Quote:
Till then, Toodles!

Sorry guys. Sister had to go into hospital last Monday night (Feb 17) and is only due home tomorrow. Between spending 5/6 hours a day visiting here and having been been sick myself with a virus haven't been able to even think of going near the computer. Missed the update yes but with the way things went I would have had to rush it and make a mess of it. Would rather do a proper, double one this Sunday.
Sorry for the delay; thanks to those who were worried about me, but you should know, you cannot kill what does not live! Seriously, thanks and I'll be back to full annoyance factor shortly. TH
