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

Tomorow (or today, depending on your time zone) is the 28th aniversary of the airing of Fit the First!!!

anyone else notice that the hhgttg game had a revamp http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/hitchhikers/game_nolan.shtml

Yeah, I've been working on it for a while, but I got stuck so I stopped

That's not to say I won't continue, I'm just taking a break. It's a great game.

I'm now listening to 'Journey Of The Sourceror'. I would listen to the first episode but I've heard it *so* many times...

For the curious, that instrumental is found on the early
Eagles album "One Of These Nights", the one with the skull on it.

I found the full version of Journey of the Sorcerer online a few days ago, so now I've finally heard the whole song

Same here. It's good innit! Did you find the 'Marvin' tracks aswell?

It's great! Yes, I found the Marvin songs-he has his own fan page...hmm, can't find it now but if I do later I'll post it.

*Off to listen to Fit the First *

Here's the Marvin page:

The banjo player on "Journey of the Saucerer" was Bernie Leadon, who later went on to found the joke bluegrass band Run C&W, starring the Burns Brothers, the world's first non-indentical quintuplets.
They did blugrass versions of R&B tunes and had hit with a parody of... um something, only there's was called "Itchy-twitchy Spot".

And now it's the 29th aniversary!

Of course, this means that it will be the 30th aniversary next year. Should we do something special to mark it? Or wait till the 42nd aniversary in 2020?

2020

How about both? More parties!

Of course...I've been thinking about the anniversary all week and I forgot to post yesterday. Go figure.

Oh well -- it'll still be the 8th for several hours here, so time!
