And just because it was used in a movie doesn't mean it's "from" a movie. It was made famous by the movie deliverence but it was composed almost 20 years before that. (Wikipedia serves as a brain extention again)



It wouldn't have been on the show if it weren't in the movie. It's not like the hillbilly muppets were a coincidence.
As far as Obama's Nobel Prize, FWIW I think Shigeru Miyamoto has done far more "to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples."
His list of accomplishments is staggering.

I invented Hayseed Dixie. I swear it. I realised in about 1994 that "The Ace Of Spades" by Motörhead was actually a country song, and we played it thus a few times. I also thought about five years before that "What would happen if you did a heavy metal band with a funk rhythm section?". Then the next year the Red Hot Chili Peppers appeared.

I know where you're coming from Roy...I thought of making Shirley Bassey the lead singer of Motorhead...but that hasn't happened yet...it's only a matter of time though!

Lemmy and Shirley Bassey - on stage together - now there's a picture.
Empusa's crew, so naked-new they may not face the fire,
But weep that they bin too small to sin to the height of their desire,

He likes The Ramones, The Who, AC-DC and Jimi Hendrix, but doesn't like New Order or Kraftwerk. More on his musical taste as I discover it (him, me and my iPod in the car for 300 miles tomorrow).

Put that dog in charge of the DJing at a student night, he'd be better than some of the humans :idiot:

Also, Kraftwerk :haha:

I order you to, listen to Bryn Terfel...by order of the people's republik of Weevilonia (formally known as Bristol).

Seriously though Bill Bailey is marvelous isn't he, saw him live in Richmond a few years ago and he did an Englishman, Scotsman, Irishman walked into a pub joke. He said whilst doing a gig in Wales he asked why there are never any Welshmen in those jokes and someone shouted out "because the Welshman is already in the pub." I noticed Commander York from Hyperdrive in the Kraftwerk bit.

Here's what I listened to yesterday and today.

Yesterday:
The Beatles - Mailman, Bring Me No More Blues
The Beatles - Blue Jay Way
Radiohead - The Gloaming. (Softly Opening Our Mouths In The Cold.)
Gym Class Heroes - Petrified Life And The Twice Told Joke (Decrepit Bricks)
Pamela Wyn Shannon - Just Shy Of Rising Tide [just the main song. I'm not sure why she decided to separate the instrumental intro as a separate track, but that's how it is]
Franz Schubert - Trout Quintet movement 2, performed by Emanuel Axe, Pamela Frank, Yo Yo Ma, Rebecca Young, and Edgar Meyer
AxCx - A song with an offensive title (like most of theirs) that has been omitted
The Rolling Stones - I Go Wild

Today:
The Braindead Monkeys - Why Is This Funny?
They Might Be Giants - Vestibule
Bob Marley and The Wailers - Is This Love
Bob Marley and The Wailers - 400 Years [Jamaican version from Catch A Fire Deluxe Edition]
They Might Be Giants - Ana Ng
Long John Baldry - No More
ZZ Top - Beer Drinkers And Hell Raisers
Paul McCartney - Michelle [from Paul Is Live]
Jimmy Buffett - He Went To Paris [new recording from Meet Me In Margaritaville]
George Harrison - Plug Me In
Jimmy Buffett - Knees Of My Heart [new recording from Meet Me In Margaritaville]
Derek and The Dominos - Keep On Growing
The Beatles - Like Dreamers Do
George Martin - A Beginning [from The Beatles' Anthology 3]
Nobuo Uematsu - The Final Battle [from FFIX]
Pamela Wyn Shannon - Woolgathering
Electric Light Orchestra - Getting To The Point
The Beatles - Besame Mucho [Anthology 1]
Nobuo Uematsu - Airship [from FFXI]
They Might Be Giants - Where Your Eyes Don't Go
Jimmy Buffett - Holiday [Live, new recording from Meet Me In Margaritaville. There are four new recordings on this two-disc compilation. Somehow three of them came up on shuffle close together. I didn't notice until just now because I turned off my MP3 player between each one to do stuff, but it's odd.]

Milo's musical taste update.

Dislikes Lady Gaga, Little Boots, Cameo's Word Up (which is a shame), and Pixie Lott

Likes KT Tunstall, Ron Sexsmith, and the Proclaimers.

Doesn't seem to have made up his mind about Jazz. I tried him with some Ella Fitzgerald singing Irving Berlin, Stan Kenton Quartet, and Pat Metheney, but he didn't quite know what to make of it (unlike my wife, who chews the table legs if I put Miles Davis' Sketches of Spain on).

Didn't take you to be a New Order or Kraftwerk fan.
"How is it that hardly any major religion has looked at science and concluded, 'This is better than we thought! The Universe is much bigger than our prophets said, grander, more subtle, more elegant. God must be even greater than we dreamed'? Instead they say, 'No, no, no! My god is a little god, and I want him to stay that way.'" - Carl Sagan

"To doubt everything or to believe everything are two equally convenient solutions; both dispense with the necessity of reflection." - Henri Poincaré
