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

Don't know about you (maybe I'm just weird), but I got up this morning and one of their songs popped up in my head - for no apparent reason.

So I decided it was time to listen to the songs again, whilst reading the latest <./>ThePost</.> and rereading the mighty fine guide entries we have about the band:

A13664388

and

A3647630

So now, I'm sittting here, humming along.

Don't know, but their songs always cheer me up (not that I needed to be cheered up today, mind).

How about you, are there any bands/songs which have this effect on you?
Do you have Bonzo Dog days?

(What music I listen to is always down to my current mood).

1960's music = untouchable by the modern junk = bring it back

Haven't had a Bonzos day for a long time but I'm glad you brought them up

1960s? I couldn't agree more, Prof.

When you think about what we had at the end of the decade (Hendrix, Led Zeppelin) compared to the beginning (Joe Loss Orchestra? ), you can see how that was when it was all happened. And then there's the Beatles, Stones, Elvis, all the hippy bands - amazing decade. Just wish I'd been born 10 years earlier so I could have enjoyed it more.

You can still enjoy it - just won't see them on stage.

Thanks for the links, prof and Chris. I knew the first clip (Urban Spacemna), but had never seen the other one before. Nice one!

Icy, come time travel and I ain't moving from the 60'sthe music world exploded like the big bang and can not be repeated

thanks for reawakening the 60's memories B'El

You're welcome, Prof.

And to think I had never heard of them until a bit more than a year ago.

In my first year at uni, they played a gig there. Seen once, never forgotten.

As to thinking about them first thing in the morning - 'The Strain' is ever in the back of the mind during morning ablutions!!

when couples say this is our songwish this had been mine

This is a very frustrating thread for those of us whose employers have blocked Youtube! Anyone care to post the song titles I'm missing?

I mentioned the first two (Urban Spaceman; Intro-Outtro) and the last one is Canyons of your mind.

Thanks, Bel I know them well

thanks for Bonzo earworn, BBC H2G2
...tuesday I had NKOTB (New Kids on the Block) earworm, because they were on BBC breakfast.

may be they start a BBC earworm

Re ICY's earlier post - of all the things that I am grateful for in life, way up at the top of the list has to be spending my teenage years in the 60's. It was a truly amazing time to be growing up.

And the great thing is that - if you did - you didn't!

(grow up!!)

I love that here at work facebook is banned permanently, b3ta for being tasteless (though I've found a proxy), and ebay etc for shopping. Yet youtube is fine

"This is the B side of our single sports fans, hope it makes you sick."

I don't think any sites are blocked from work, but I seldom dare having a quick glance (or even post) here from work, let alone watch youtube clips.

Hmmm, now I'll know what to listen to while I colour my next comics page... Good idea, thanks, Bel!

I don't have one favourite artist/music style/era - but it comes and goes in cycles. My last project for Uni was fuelled almost entirely by Louis Armstrong, while the one before that was Cat Stevens.

I don't have a favourite artist/band, either. It really is mood-related what I listen to (if at all).

Bel,

Brilliant stuff. Agree with everything said previously, except my tastes also go back much further! Like you much of it is mood related too.

Gotta Not at work and no 'boss' to monitor me, just an over developed conscience - I shall enjoy the clips again this afternoon
