Re: Some things were better in the 70’s?

What amuses me about the 79 list is stuff that in 79 I would have sworn I loathed, I now look upon with fondness more for the memories they bring back. In terms of the 19 list all I can do is quote Paul Simon with Every generation throws a hero up the pop charts. Its right that I don't know much abo...

Re: Specifications - let's get them out of the way

Back in the olden days the only measurements I paid any attention to was wow & flutter on turntables and cassette decks. With the benefit of 20/20 hindsight I now realise that these numbers were as real as the stated emissions of a VW. The chances of a standard production run unit measuring as w...

Re: TV Series Odd and Si-fi

I'm quite enjoying The 100 for the opposite reason to The Expanse. The fun of the 100 is watching just how big a hole they can dig themselves in 12 episodes, and just how big a bang they can make in episode 13. Still working through the last season of the Expanse. In terms of old sci fi I have a sof...

Re: TV Series Odd and Si-fi

Give that I rather liked Warehouse 13, but cannot get on with the Librarians - am I likely to like the Fringe. I didn't mind the X Files in that I wouldn't switch channels if it was on, however I never stayed in, or set the VCR for it.

Doesn't that rather date me?

Re: Black Sabbath

I love most versions of Sabbath, I won't get into the Ozzy/Ronnie debate, they are both very different but excellent bands. I feel that Sabotage was the high water mark in terms of the Ozzy band, the production and playing are, to me just over the top. The next two albums would probably rate as the ...
