h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

You mean the addon behind my name? It's a Jello Biafra quote. It kinda means that there is nothing to gain by just shouting that the media is completely worthless. If you really want to get a message across, grab a camera and show the world what's really going on, instead of letting the media tell you what they want you to know. More or less.... Did that make any sense? See my article on Biafra: http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A651502 if you're interested

I was and I did.
Quality piece there buddy. Well done.

It's pending at the moment, so it should appear on the frontpage one of these days

Yeah, I've got one of those too. They said in the nex couple of weeks about 2 months ago. Look out for it though.

~grin~
I know the procedure...I've been through it before a couple of times. Usually it doesn't take too long

Puts on Happy Sad by Tim Buckley because he's been listening to it incessently in RL for a week so why should VL be any different.

You know there's a lot of power wrapped up in this Shop of mine *he says to the air hoping the words will hang around till customers arrive*. If we were to start reviewing newly released records here as a conversation and then mention it to record companies I'm sure I/we would start recieving tons of free records. We do have a captive audience in H2G2 after all......

~grin~
Clever thinking Batman
Where do you suppose we start then?

~ring ring ring~

Hello? Hello? Is this Scoop's Record Shop? There is a party in the Crow's Nest because Average Joe is turning 21 on Wednesday! You are invited to come on up and join us!

The version of My Back Pages could be from Bob Dylan's 30th anniversary concert CD (1992)- It was by Bob Dylan, George Harrison and Tom Petty from the Traveling Wilburys, with neil Young, Roger McGuinn and Neil Young.

Wow, I haven't been here for a week, stroll by just by chance and find your posting, Egon. Thanks! Great! I will go look for it!

thanx 4 sortin that 1 out egon
Beams to himself that shop is finnaly doin what it was meant to

The only reason i was here was because I typed "Traveling Wilburys" into the search thingie, and this was all I could find.

Well I'm sure you've come to the right place. If you look around I am certain you will find we stock Wilburys both stationary and well travelled.
What Exactly is a wilbury any way (or rather who r they)

A super-leisure-group, formed in 1988, originally consisting of Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne and Roy Orbison

Also, after ther Big O died, there were some recordings made with Del Shannon (before he died too.)

They formed when Roy Orbison hired jeff Lynne as producer and Tom petty as songwriter for his last album (the one with You Got It on). they recorded the album in Bob dylan's Garage/studio and one day, when George Harrison was visiting Bob, they all just started jamming and the result was the classic singles "End of the line" and "Handle with care"

Guess I'll file that one away in my brain under supergroups I hadn't heard of.
Thanks for all the info.
I am really pleased people are coming here to browse and disscuss their musical questions more. I hope the shop gets even more packed soon.
Scoop

Happy with his first solo edited entry Scoop walks in and puts on lots of celebratory music. Mainly Drum n' Bass and UK Garage for a big dance sesh.

Congratulations. By the way, I thought you might like to know that I finally obtained a traveling wilburys album this morning.
