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

It's definitely a bonus song on one of his albums, not sure which, I'll check when I get back home.

Actually I just googled it, it's on his "Captain Fantasticand the Brown Dirt Cowboy" album

nice title...

Oops there should have been a space between "fantastic" and "and"

Happens to all of us.

Incidently it's also a really good album

Don't have it. What else is on it?

Someone saved my life tonight? And philadelphia freedom as well I think.

Don't think I know the Philadelphia one. Just trying to get the image of a cream cheese and bacon bagel out of my head......

Hi there.
I just dropped in to say that I noticed that on the list of members, my name is wrong. It says candonip24, which is just an anagram of my real name. I must have joined during Halloween or whenever when a lot of people, including me, were mixing up their names. I just thought I'd mention that, if you could please change it to 42donpanic?

Thanks

Yes a few of the names were updated during halloween, it'll be put right soon enough

for all the wrong names. I'll get them checked and updated shortly.

I've just checked all the members names and corrected any that were updated. Thanks for pointing it out. I'll try and keep on top of it.

As it has been fairly quiet on here for a while, I'll put my name forward please.

Great!!! Welcome!!! I'll get your name put on the list right away.

Hi all!I love the Beatles, much better than the modern rubbish im meant to like!Can i join?

Of course!!! Glad to have you!! Will get you added to the list right away. If you haven't got the badge already, please feel free to get it.

Hiya..

I am a fanatical lover of all things Beatles (and Merseybeat) but being 48 am just too young to have experienced it 1st hand. Though my dad did teach Paul M and (maybe) George H at the Institute. Latin of all subjects!!!!

Anyway, I was a little peturbed to see that the song 'Twist and Shout' seems to be an important theme in the Liverpool 2008 experience. The Beatles only did a cover version of this (very good!), motown number ,and they and their fellow creatives have so much more original stuff to offer this special year.

1) Obviously - Gerry Marsden and.... the.. 'Fairy Across the Mersey' (hey in the late 60s and early 70s Blackpool FC were still a proper football club then and we did chant that for about 2 seconds b4 being buried in a wall of Anfield/Goodison sound).

2) Penny Lane... Strawberry Fields... etc... but the one that really sums up, with a pop/rock Merseybeat for me is, 'She was just 17'. The, oh so perceptive, theme for generations past and those to come.

3)When Norff London get the award I will bore u wiv Kinks and maybe even Kenny & Madness!!! Nah lets stick to the local Palais and Jam and Jerusalem.

4) Hopefully Manchester will be next and we can bathe in the brilliant sounds of the Hollies. The group the Beach Boys falied to become.

Andy

Your dad taught Paul and George!!!!

I'll get you added to our merry little band.

They did do Twist and Shout brilliantly, but you're right - they wrote *so* much of their own stuff and it was fantastic, it seems odd to pick a cover they did to be a theme. Why not Penny Lane or In My Life or something.

Hi, I like the Beatles a lot...
Can I join, please?
