Maybe they are owned by the same group that owns Parks Hampers, as they are already advertising on the telly for Christmas 2014.....

Didn't they do a runner with everyones money a couple of years back?
Or was that another "good-savings-idea-if-you-have-the-IQ-of-cheese" hamper mob?

Yes, you're right - my bad.
I do find myself wondering how many ex Farepak directors there are on the board of Parks - they have a similar modus operandi...

You may have noticed that as the years go by, each seems a bit shorter than the previous one ...
So, depending on age, Christmas may be just around the corner ...

Just finish watching Brit Floyd, a Pink Floyd tribute band, on Paladia. It was...not entirely an empty performance. It's hard to describe. All the notes are there, but the soul of the sound is missing. The subtle inflections in tone, in the "story" of sound, ... is missing. It was kind of like eating celery...you know?? More energy goes into the experience than you get out of it.
Now I have to go dig up a Pink Floyd Live album to go get a fuller experience...

The sound is very Staind. If you're going to do something like this, make it your own. This one has some feeling to it! I likey.

I recently went tow see this[^] version. They really captured the live experience.
|
|

Much closer than what I saw last night. There was a bit of flare in the playing.
It's kind of like cooking. You can make the meal according to the recipe, but a personal touch is missing.

It's the difference between watching them live and on YouTube. Live , they feed off the audience and this gives us a richer experience. If you get the chance to go to one of their shows, I would take it.

They have to come over to my side of the pond first.

If it's the same tribute band I think it is they already do, and have given a few shows in my area over the last few years. I'm not sure though, whoever recorded their radio adverts didn't speak clearly and I thought he was trying to say something like Rick or Bret, but Brit would fit as well.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I can't comment as I've never seen a tribute band of any kind. But anyone who does his bit to promote the Floyd to a wider audience deserves a pat on the back.
I just recently discovered a video on YouTube featuring Gary Moore and BB King. Bloody 'eck! To hear two guitars talking to each other like Moore's and Lucille is something special. It reminds me what we lost when Gary Moore died and it reminds me what will be lost when BB King says goodbye to Lucille.
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

Got a link?? I've got a couple of Gary Moore albums sitting in the library. Fantastic stuff there!

Dream Theater weren't bad in my opinion.

Good stuff there too, thought the sound is changing a bit with the members being swapped out.

I just stumbled accross this video[^].
