The Dividing Line

[Trapezium Artist]

Then again, Ikea might feel a little less overwhelming if I could wander through it wrapped in a warm blanket of Christina Booth's euphonious tones ...

You need something to get you through IKEA. It calls to me the week after next, as we will be redecorating and refitting Spoffo's bedroom. Hate, hate, hate.

Problem with Ikea is that when I have to go, I can usually only manage on a Saturday or Sunday, when the massed hordes from hell are also traipsing around. I was at the one in Delft on a Sunday a couple of weeks ago to get some new desks to plonk our shiny new 27 inch iMac (tasty) on, and the queue of traffic on the motorway trying to get off at the adjacent junction was so great, the motorway was shut

Perhaps I should go at 9am on a Tuesday morning once; it might be tolerable.

(Still, I have to admit that I quite like some of their stuff: very plain, straightforward, functional, and yet occasionally stylish. Surprisingly difficult to find in other furniture places; any cloggies on here know of any other good alternatives in the Randstad?)

Speaking of Christina in Holland, that reminds me: does anyone know whether Magenta are playing at Zoetermeer on May 1st? The Zoetermeer website says yes, the Magenta website says nothing. Any insider info?

@TA: Unofficially, the word is that Magenta are playing Zoetermeer on that date. Website updates tend to get held up by the pesky day jobs that those good people have to deal with. )

Thanks, Pedro: I was going to buy a ticket or two anyway, but it's good to know that there hadn't been a cancellation or some such.

Anyone else from round these parts likely to be there?

Loving the newest Frost* Report! Oh, how I've meesed them.

What is the current status of TDL (the song)?

[Jem]

The status currently is about panic factor 4. Much to do and not a lot of time to do it.

[Pedro]

There should be a Sid James laugh to go with that.

Or else try this...

Catherine's poster reminded me immediately of one of the odder bits of film music on my iPod (ripped from a properly purchased CD, mind you), represented here by its original LP cover. I've never seen the film, but the music certainly has its moments (for good and for bad). Anyone else have this and/or seen it?

Oh, and moving on from that, what about this soundtrack by Simon Fisher Turner from the completely unknown film Melancholia? Some amazing bits, in particularly the beautiful "Archist". Ahh ... (where's a smiley for love when you need one?)

Hello again!
Or... HOWDY YA'LL!!!
a few things...
1. Am i the only one here that seems not to know anybody else on this site?
2. Is there any chance that TDL will be released on major online/computer retailers? (because buying a CD is a pain in the @$$ since i live in TX, the land of musical ignorance and such...) (iTunes, Amazon MP3, etc.)

w/e its nice to be back
