love it when that happens

[Amelie]

During my routine visit to the folks last night, my mum handed me 2 tapes- found earlier in her emporium of cassettes, and informed me:

'they must be yours, i have listened to them and they are terrible'.

One had 'mixed by Acky 11/9/91' wrote on it (Biskit, this is soo funny) and the other anonymous. Goes without saying i couldnt wait to get in the car and have a listen-being unheard for some 10 years or so.

Lol and when i did what a bloody treat!!!! Stuff i hadnt heard for so long, stuff that i had totally forgot about! I cant explain how good it was to hear some of the tunes again. Admitidly some of the mixin is a little suspect, but i was still grinning like a lune. I was litteraly dancing in the car all the way home, then had a full blown sesh in the front room for about an hour.

I love it when you find an old treasured tape, it makes me do this










oh, and to all those people waiting on me for swaps, sorry i am on with it now.

every time i go back to me mums i check under the bed down the back of units ect for old tapes that I might have lost

I'm still missing half a strawberry in that bedroom somewhere as well but i think thats a gonner cause its about 15 years ago that i lost it !

[The Frog Meister]

I'm not sure what is on there, but there will not ne any old skool as I didn't listen to that then (and rarely now)

 

[cam]

how can you not it is greater than life itself

 

[Amelie]

cam and ritchard you bloody highjackers

Biskit course you can have a copy, pm me with your adress and i will pop it in the post later.

As i said the mixing is a little dodgy, the sound a bit muffled, but it is well wotrth a listen.

 

[The Frog Meister]

we high-jacked NOTHING!

We are still talking about old tapes

Cam mate... I used to listen to the Floyds, hard rock and things along those lines.... Don't forget that I was not brought up in the UK and Olkskool didn't really hit France.... and my brothers influenced my music......

all that to say that I'm going to listen to them tonight

 

[Amelie]

well how did you find this place then, if it was never your bag? Do you come here for the general wit and humour?

 

[The Frog Meister]

I was introuced to this place thtrough a guy I work with... I enjoyed the wit and humour,a nd the top peeps on here, so I decided to register... and post.... and then got addicted... broke the addiction.. for 3 days, and came back..... then listen to some of the tunes... then more.... still couldn't tell yu what's what tho!!!! LOL

But yeah, it is generaly the chattiness

 

[Amelie]

yeah i too got recommended by a friend, and at first i tought 'this isnt for me', but once i started to read the treads, i realised what a top bunch of people you all were, and how much i missed a stupid sense of humour. I spend ages lauging my head of at the pc now:$

 

[The Frog Meister]

same here :$ but it is good fun isn't it... and the good thing is that no one bashes it down your throat... so if you don;t like old skool you can still jin in the party

I like floyd, beatles, dire straights, bit of Dr hook, love clannad, but me bread and butter has got to be oldschool PIANO no shit on earth can give you the feeling like listening to the tune that first gave you your first ever propper rush im getting tingles now just writing this ! Thats the power of drugs and music

 

[The Frog Meister]

I stil ingle on teh FLoyds... but htat is because I relate a hell of a lot to what they do, the lyrics, the music... spitting it out on 200W and not being ablet o hear anyone, or anything else! That is music, and that is the way forward

 

[Amelie]

i think that 'wish you were here' is a beautiful song.........

 

[cam]

well old school is limited to tunes that have gone so i suppose you cant reall make an old school tune any longer, they can be remixed ( oops contraversial ) but not remade thats what makes them old school, thats what makes them memories thats what makes them so damn fuckin brilliant !

 

[The Frog Meister]

i think that 'wish you were here' is a beautiful song.........

Oh yes....

Wish You Were Here (Waters, Gilmour) 5:17

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skys from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you to trade
Your heros for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.


I don't have a favourite from them.... They are all beautiful... and it's hard to say which I refer...... grrrrr..... not easy...

hmmmmmmm
