Anti-apartheid activist and singer Johnny Clegg, a white South African (born English, wide childhood traveller) who was the lead singer for Juluka and Johnny Clegg and Savuka. The global influences on his music are spectacular, and wonderful.

The Comedian trailer at Apple and The Comedian page at imdb.

Trailer link purloined from Debbie Ohi's Blatherings.

Shanghai Knights trailer at Apple and page at imdb.

If you haven't seen Shanghai Noon, then what are you still doing here, man? Go see it!

Dick at imdb. Who was Deep Throat really? Funny, funny movie that is a better take on Nixon than JFK was on - well - JFK, which I didn't see, I'm just saying.

I had to change templates because the HTML bold tags weren't being displayed on the old one, which was kind of stupid (Hello, Blogger guys). I hate the purple but I like the layout, so I will play with it. Patience, my friends. And courage.

Hurray for Musical Science!

MC Hawking, one of whose albums is 'E=MC Hawking'...ye-es, that Hawking. Thanks to Winnie Wong for the link. And the laughs. (If I had homies, she'd be one. Probably just as well then.)

Blackcatter's World of TV Theme Song Lyrics which I found while looking for the lyrics to the 'Bananas in Pyjamas' theme which I couldn't really remember, and presto, problem solved. Except that Tripod are @ssh*les and limit access by bandwith usage, so be patient, or just say 'scr-&z.schwa;-w Tripod'. The page looks very promising but Tripod are pulling the old 'bait, switch and sodomize' trick, like Telus mobile phone service in Canada and others elsewhere.

Debbie Ridpath Ohi's comic strip, 'Waiting For Frodo' plus her music group, Urban Tapestry, singing the song 'Waiting For Frodo' (the comic strip and song are related, FY yer I)

The Encyclopedia of Arda - very nice Lord of the Rings reference.

( 6:29 PM )

Then there was the famous lost episode of 'Bananas in Pyjamas.'

It was Tuesday on Cuddles Avenue, and the Teddies were scared because every Tuesday was the day for the Bananas to kill and eat Teddies. That's why there were only three left.

So Morgan, Lulu and Amy went to the Rat in the Hat's shop to ask him to help.

Rat took all the calendars and cut out all the Tuesdays. Then he gave the calendars to the Teddies to take home with them. The Teddies were overjoyed because it would never be Tuesday on Cuddles Avenue again!

When the Bananas came to try to trick and trap a Teddy to kill and eat, the Teddies showed them the calendars with no Tuesdays at all.

Now the Bananas were sad because they could never kill and eat a Teddy on Tuesday again, so they went to the Rat in the Hat's shop to see if he could help.

Rat took all the Tuesdays that he had cut out of all the calendars and glued them all together so that every day was Tuesday on Cuddles Avenue.

That's why there's only three Teddies left on Cuddles Avenue, and why this episode was only ever broadcast once. The bootleg is very valuable.

The Counterpane Fairy

THE LAND OF COUNTERPANE

When I was sick and lay a-bed,
I had two pillows at my head,
And all my toys beside me lay
To keep me happy all the day.

And sometimes for an hour or so
I watched my leaden soldiers go,
With different uniforms and drills,
Among the bed-clothes, through the hills;

And sometimes sent my ships in fleets
All up and down among the sheets;
Or brought my trees and houses out,
And planted cities all about.

I was the giant great and still
That sits upon the pillow-hill,
And sees before him, dale and plain,
The pleasant land of counterpane.

-Robert Louis Stevenson
from "A Child's Garden of Verses"
