I'm guessing you're thinking "hold on, she's not a drum and bass artist" and you'd be right. Fortunately though, when you have an outrageous musical talent, you can pretty much turn your hand to anything (see Bowie, D. for details) and she's co-written (and sings on) a track for a drum and bass artist called InsideInfo (on Viper Recordings if you're a keen student of all things drum and bass!) So it's this song - Glimpse by InsideInfo featuring Fable.
Not really that keen on it any more. Used to do a lot of raving when younger, though I preferred 'jungle' (so 90s stuff) rather than jump up etc. Still find it interesting though, and agree about if you're talented enough you can do pretty much anything. Her voice would suit underground music pretty well too imo. Definitely gonna try and catch it.
Hmm, Top Gear was... OK. The rocket lift-off was superb, but then I quite like rockets. No bikes. No prospect of bikes either. Guest James McAvoy said he had a 125, then grew up and got a bigger bike. Bike lover Le Blanc didn't say, 'which bike.?' Bit sad really. TG used to do bikes. No Stig either.!
I enjoyed it. Ten times better than the Evans debacle. I like Rory Reid. Going to take a while to warm to Chris Harris, but a perfectly decent telly programme now, if not a 'must see'.
Yes, I kind of go along with that too. I do wish they wouldn't bash the cars around so much though. I've never liked that about the modern Top Gear. When Chris Harris looked at his damaged Volvo and said 'this car has done 500,000 reliable miles and I've done that to it in 48', I thought, yes, you ought to be a bit contrite. The old presenters would have just whooped.!.
Taboo. I have sort of let watching it slide. I like Tom Hardy in almost anything he does, because he's such a good actor. And I like Victorian era drama too. But have I missed a trick here.? For some reason I'm not inclined, and yet the BBC are trying so hard to get me to watch it [another trailer, this time after MOTD2]. Any good.?
Pretty good. A 'game of chess' drama, everybody has a plan until somebody pulls a secret move that flummoxes the other. I would say it fares better in terms of looks than in terms of plot. Because it looks excellent. In The Night Manager with Tom Hiddlestone, the BBC had a Hollywood actor who was excellent, I don't think Hardy was as good. A lot of macho gravitas, grunting, and seemingly indestructible. Plus beware Hardy delivering some of his lines with an expressionless mumble 'cos he's so badass. But it was full of surprises. I prefer Peaky Blinders and Hardy is excellent in that, if you haven't seen it.
It's okay, apart from Hardy's vocal affectation in it that makes him sound like Yoda slowed down to 33rpm.
30 years ago today was the Zeebrugge disaster which claimed 193 lives......I remember it very well ,very sad
That's actually one thing that feels to me like it was 30 years ago. Indeed very sad. Worse because it was easily avoidable too, IIRC.
Quite right too. Every penny spent on keeping our glorious royal family in sweets and fizzy pop is money well spent. I have promised to sell both my grandchildren to raise a bit more cash if they need it.
That's a very sound idea. And if you make sure they go overseas then they won't ever be a drag on the NHS.
On and off topic. My US based Grandson, 1 year old in 3 days was crying on the way back from the mall today. Guess what stopped him? My daughter (Saints fan until she moved to Atlanta), the other half and me singing first the Rickie Lambert song, and then me waving my top above my head in the car (it's a 4x4 so a bit of room), and singing "Oh Gabbiadini". He stopped crying and chuckled all the way home [emoji16] I think he is one of us
So our first trip on to Radio One and the DJ doesn't mention her name, and they have the wrong track listed on iPlayer. Other than that, all good!
How about the Radio 1 non-mention though.? Can't undo that error, surely. On another subject. SS-GB. I've basically missed it due to getting fed up with mumbling dialogue 20 minutes into the first episode, then forgetting to go back, but apparently I've been spared a clunker. True.?
Meant to reply to this earlier. A couple of years ago I glanced at a Peaky Blinders trailer and I immediately stopped taking any notice at all after I realised it was a crime drama. I can stand one-off crime/police dramas, but another ****ing crime/police drama series just makes me want to climb the walls. I almost don't give a toss these days whether they might be good, bad or indifferent, I just don't want to see anymore crime drama series ever again - I think. I've had them right up to HERE. So I've probably missed a good bit of TV. Loved The Night Manager. Great story.
