Lat,
The radio is flashing next to that special man, the late Roxy Gordon.

Yes, I do believe that I have discovered the piece of evidence we were all looking for. A very fine photo Mr Sherratt.
Now then, I think I know GlobalTruth's real name and an approximate location. A little bit of subtle questioning and we should be getting somewhere near to removing the "virtual" from the "reality".Comment

Just in case you're looking, the one on YouTube isn't me either. He's the same one that is on Twitter. Might have to change the handle to Rumplestiltskin...Originally posted by Lateralthinking1 View PostComment

Damn - my glamorous and mysterious Russian assistant said that she was sure it was you. I'll have to appoint a more reliable one.Comment

Ah well, that's an excuse for me to get us back to the music by mentioning that Lotte Lenya, the wife of Kurt Weill (pace previous posts) played the part of an (almost definitely Russian) agent, Rosa Klebb in the James Bond film From Russia With Love (1963). Lotte Lenya in her earlier years did a great version of her husband's song 'Mack The Knife', which you may recall from an earlier Spotify playlist. if you don't recall it, here's a linkOriginally posted by Lateralthinking1 View Post
this one was country music free
Watch out for those darned shoes Lotte....

Are you ... the Spotify Kid who very recently visited The Big House in Derbyshire where Grand Debo once reigned supreme ?
Cause I have a follow up question, if so !Comment

beyond cool
Now I feel a little bit stalked...but yep. It was so cold that the polar bears were huddled around Barry Flanagan's Drummer trying to keep warm to his hip-hop beat.Originally posted by Paul Sherratt View Post

As it was certainly a bit on the chilly side, did you go inside Big House for a warm ?Comment

Duduks at Chatters?
We had some friends over from foreign parts (you may recall I discovered they and some of their chums listen to the Spoootle listsOriginally posted by Paul Sherratt View Post
) so yes, we did.
First time for years. As usual the Dook's collection of WM was not on display...nor were there any wandering duduk players in the corridors

Just wondering ( this is an ego thing, obviously ! ) if you noticed if there was an exhibition based on the nine decades of Debo still on show ?
It included a jolly pic I took of the Dowager and Adam Nicholson down at Charleston last year.Comment

PS.
One of the oddest items you are likely hear today is nestled in your spotty inbox.
A Decca record.
There'll be a copy at Big House
And for those who can't see just what's in that box :
Decca & The Dectones

Spookily I've heard it before but thanks. (the cover alone was worth the postage, never mind another track emphasising the continuing richness of the Spootster place)Originally posted by Paul Sherratt View Post
It ranks alongside William Shatner's finest and the performance of the pregnant-prisoner-botherer on Strictly, surreal events.
Or were they really situationist deconstructions?
I'm sure the Lat1 or Jacques Derrida can tell us ...
(I suspect there might be several thousand copies in one of the cellars)Last edited by Globaltruth; 06-12-10, 13:37.Comment

I think I'm going to have to get the boys at Bletchley Park to load up the bally Enigma cipher breaking machine to sort out what's going on here.

I can honestly say that I understood about six words in posts 97 to 102. It is a good job that I was blessed with a detective """""personality""""". This will keep me occupied all afternoon. For now, a few fragments.
I was aware of Lotte Lenya and Mack the Knife. My German teacher at school - male - would occasionally burst impromptu into an impersonation of her singing said song. Frighteningly, he was rather more convincing than the woman who attempted Twiggy on Hot Hits 6 in July 1971 (Music For Pleasure 5214). To be fair, she probably had problems because Zoo De Zoo Zong didn't really ever make it in the charts. I can't for the life of me understand why they ever put it on there.
The Peak District. A very nice place. I was there in the summer of 76 just below Ladybower and for a time in the centre of Castleton. To see the tops of the houses in the drowned village was fascinating, if also sad, and the Blue John mine remains to this day the only place where I have ever experienced total darkness. A real memory that. Of course, the people who led the mass trespass to Kinder Scout in 1932 were truly enlightened. I'm a walker so I view them as heroes.
Shatner. Yes, I think I was aware of his effort. Mr Everett liked it. Was Clint Eastwood on the other side or is that something I have imagined? He also enjoyed "Wunderbar" by Zara Leander, who he claimed was Hitler's favourite singer, and perhaps something really atrocious by the Shangri-Las (?).
I had never heard Decca & the Dectones. Truly appalling. I've got to listen to it again and again.
