Crazy old ape

Swiss metal band Ad Infinitum with an intriguing new track that comes on heavy but shows a lighter side towards the end. And lead singer Melissa Bonny (who is also the main songwriter since the band started as a solo project) is perfect all through.

Oo, my second favourite Kong movie (I still prefer the 1933 but not by much)

Last Man On Earth

40 years later and seriously, it's dire!

I think that I have heard there's a new adaptation of the novel out or coming, maybe a TV series? Not sure though. Just something stuck in my mind. But you're not the first person I've heard suggest that it hasn't aged well.

I was already a fan of "Bohemian Rhapsody" when Wayne's World came out but, yeah, it's a great scene.

Editing in place shouldn't lose votes and comments. That's only if you take it down and republish. I does need to be reverified. Maybe PM the original verifier or Molly?

It’s first time I’ve tried to edit a published story on this site.

Will be the same as on (never mind). Same software right down to irritating bugs like words breaking weirdly in the forum editor but formatting correctly when you post.

Oh oh, you gave me an in to headbang in this thread. Ronnie James Dio joined Sabbath in 1979 after they canned original vocalist Ozzy Osbourne, then left over conflicts with other band members in 1981 and founded Dio with Sabbath drummer Vinnie Appice.

I think the "Shankar's" part confused her. Is that part of the title? Or the star/director and the title is just "I"? Anyhow, in the interests of getting this back on track.

Yay! Red is in. Now I have to get going.

Got some Kicking Horse 454 brewing in the coffee pot. For teas, I went with English Breakfast and Original Earl Grey. Washed the pitchers and put in some fresh iced tea and lemonade. Soda stock looks good. Hot water is available for other teas and hot chocolate.

Bit chilly round these here parts but it is April so not really unseasonable. Tomorrow is looking good, though.

My own comp entry is not progressing but I think I have a fairly light weekend coming up. Though for some reason my migraines always seem to hit on weekends these days, and that's not conducive to writing.

Nightwish's How's The Heart. This just shows that the music of Nightwish is so versatile. Simply the voice of Floor Jansen, accompanied by the acoustic guitar of Troy Donockley.+

I love both versions (the acoustic and the full band version) beyond all reason. Amazing piece of music.

Speaking of Floor, I had her solo album on in the car this morning.

My first reactions were:

First was WTF?. I couldn't see either option at first.

Second was skull. Probably reflects my rather dark side (read some of my horror if you don't know what I mean)

Third was woman's face nicely outlined in by the flowers and butterfly.

Good day!!

Been busy with meetings this morning so just getting in. Putting on some Tobermory Flowerpot island coffee and some Green and Red Rose teas.

My flailing writing seems to be extending to this comp. Got either a beginning or an ending written but not sure I want to use it. Still, we shall see.

Jeff Lynne was in The Move for a few years, but later became famous for Electric Light Orchestra.

Two H's folks. You're getting sloppy. 😋

And what the heck, probably The Ventures' most famous track and a spotlight tune for their drummer.

The Shadows - Wonderful Land

I love this style of instrumental rock and The Shadows are the best. Amazing guitar work. The Ventures are pretty good at it, too.

A young Dick Clark introduces them here in a performance from 1960.

Also on that memorable double album was Phil Lynott of Thin Lizzy.

Not a chance. I don't even like looking over the edge of cliffs. As U2 put it, "Hello, hello, I'm at a place called Vertigo."

WYE bodysurf at rock concert/festival?
