Re: The TV thread
I have completely gotten sucked into DEFIANCE. Well, not completely. But I have enjoyed s1 and will stick around for s2. It can be a bit mawkish, and a bit "made for TV" at times but I have just finished binge watching ORPHAN BLACK and GAME OF THRONES so it does pale in comparison. Good winter night...

If he comes to a town near you, go see. His next fight I think is in Vegas.

Re: 2nd tier FM radio dinosaurs from the '70s
No argument here. I'm a sucker for what is now classified as "Yacht Rock." Can't get enough. Lawks. I hadn't even heard the term "Yacht Rock" before it came up in this thread. I googled. Not my thing. This TV show might have possibilities: I can fast forward through the musical segments, right? htt...

Re: The 80's: Total Shite or Underrated

They take a mercenary approach. However, they sometime...

Re: Books Thread
I liked this a lot. Recommendation from a friend and I thought it was (just) a piss-take of early STAR TREK, of which I am a huge fan. It is that, sort of, but more.
Anyway enjoyed it a lot and absolutely recommend it.

Re: 2nd tier FM radio dinosaurs from the '70s
Pretty narrow lens there. Some 1st tier dinosaurs, The Stones & Zeppelin, might take issue with that. And, while not necessarily bands, Neil Young, David Bowie, Bruce Springsteen, Willie Nelson, & Waylon Jennings had a pretty spectacular decade. Although he has since turned into a steaming pile of ...

Re: True story behind departure from DBT?
Alcoholism is tough business and it wasn't any of ours. Absolutely. I think it would also be hard to deduct that what has been, at times, a pretty hard drinking band, would have an issue with another hard drinker. Not to belabor any points, but Patterson in some recent interviews addressed this exa...

So, we've just shifted (back into our house after half arsed EQ repairs... anyway). I have just sold my "big" stereo gear. The bespoke rack, the large ish (200W) amplifier, the big speakers.
