RIP
The great Jack Bruce left us today. I've just blown the dust off the old turntable and put my Disraeli Gears LP on. APL

'Ullo, me dearios. (And you have to be about fifty to recognise that reference...) Thank you all, and sorry I haven't been here much this last...year. Stuff happens. But, to quote Granny Weatherwax: "I aten't dead". I notic…

Happy Birthday Carpathian!
Belated wishes young man. See you in the pub for lunch in two or three weeks hopefully. PJ has resurrected your birthday thread on The Olde Place as well. So you're now in stereo, as we music afficionados say. APL

Recent and upcoming gigs
Steven Wilson, Newcastle City Hall, this Friday (18th). Very much looking forward to it. Gig of the year, even with The Veil Incident. Although my youngest daughter is now convinced Nick Beggs is one of the Wraith from Stargate Atlantis... APL

ADMIN PLEASE NOTE: Forum issues
^^ Happy birthday for yesterday! I haven't checked the old site for while, but looks like da management are letting it die a natural death, rather than locking/archiving it. Does Peter J still post there? Thank you both (although at 49 I sho…

ADMIN PLEASE NOTE: Forum issues
Not a Forum issue, just an observation that I got the usual "happy birthday" email from [email protected] yesterday, which I assume was triggered from the Olde Site like it always used to be, though that's now "goldfrappmessage…

What are you listening to now?
The latest (well, recent) Alice in Chains album,The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here. It's not half bad. APL

Seventh Tardis - The Doctor Who thread
If Capaldi is visiting his back catalogue (is that a euphemism?), then forget Malcolm Tucker, let's have an episode where Amanda Donohoe is an immortal snake cult high priestess whose clothes keep falling off*. APL * I'm only flesh and…

Did y'all know that Britain was attached to the mainland about 10,000 years ago and the landbridge was cut off by a tsunami??!?! I never knew that! Kinda like getting stranded on a HUGE boat! That's why we're always one step away…

Girlfrapp thread
Haha, slight misspell... sorry. Anyway, I like the line: "the blood coursing though our uteri like a crimson landslide". :) That's a 1976 album by Genesis. Seriously. APL

And then we need to work on the catchphrases. (I'm starting to think Carpy might not be buying me any more pints in the future) APL

Moderators (were) Needed!
So, I'm just curious. Do you moderators have like a spam alarm that goes off in the middle of the night so that you can delete spam as it happens... It's a fair point. We need to get those two a Moderatorcave with a Moderatorphone in it.…

Ah. old telly. When I were a lad, the TV westerns that made it into the old homestead and stayed around in the memory banks wereThe Virginian and Alias Smith and Jones. Kid's telly: someone already mentioned The Tomorrow People. Hell, yea. But …

You sound like a bit of a Rocker APL. Slightly related did you see the Mott The Hoople documentary on BBC 4 a couple of weeks ago, it was pretty good ;) What was your first clue? Yes, it would be true to say that my Goldfrapp CDs do not sit natura…

A sizeable majority of the "upper-bodywear" I own is gig t-shirts (and yes, I still have some from the late seventies/early eighties...most of which still fit, sort of) But that doesn't make me a bad person, right? (Just deeply unfa…

Excellent. Best news this place has had. The old forum's still going, mind. Once you've cleaned up this one horse town... APL

RIP GMB 2002 ~ 2013
Still posting at the Old Place. Maybe it's like the House of Lords and they won't know they've died for a couple of centuries more. APL

How did you get into Goldfrapp?
Can't find my original post from the old GMB, so here goes again. Prior to Black Cherry I'd never heard of Goldfrapp. I saw them on Later With Jools Holland doing three tracks from BC (1st one was Train, last Strict Machine), and was so …

Just watched a very informative documentary about Mott The Hoople. Beyond loving 'All the Young Dudes' and having a compliation CD I don't know an awful lot, but this documentary certainly left me feeling more informed. It was total S…

Have I told you lately that I love you?
Does prog rock count? I sometimes think I'm the only one who really loves fiddly litrtle guitar solos, sprawling lyrics and a good story to an album XD You are not alone, Loups. Keep the faith. Gig Of The Year so far (by a country mile): Rush…

Happy Birthday A_is_A!!!
Is this the first birthday thread on The New Place? The former GMB was famous for them, and the better for it. Happy birthday, Ms. A. You have blazed a trail (but someone will clean up). APL
