Just saw a post about how The Flintstones movie came out 30 years ago, and honestly, I think that movie was a slab of genius.

Sure, the story is kinda dumb, but the loving care with which they created the whole world around it was worth the price of the ticket alone. ‘50s surburban Americana with Stone Age technology that looked for all the world like it was filmed in a theme park.

I was 13 on holiday in the US with my Dad, and it was perfect.

Thinking more on this, I think a large part of why The Flintstones movie lives on in my affection is because it has a physicality that I don’t think you’d get so much now.

Sure, there was CGI in 1994, but you won’t really find it here. All the sets were physical, all the effects practical. If made today, the dinosaurs would all be CGI. And that’s not necessarily a bad thing, but it feels like an easier thing, somehow.

Btw, absolutely shocked that “CUNTY” isn’t in the Wordle dictionary.

CUNTS is though, if you were after a new starter word.

Went to a concert with my son last night. Wasn’t my choice but it was a really nice concert. I’m just very tired this morning with less than 6 hours of sleep, but sadly the office awaits.

@RomanticIsa Looks like a proper rock band, as the lead guitarist has a Flying V.

Who was it?

Considering it’s treated as nothing more than a comedy song (because, to be fair, it is very, very funny), there’s no reason for Horse Outside to be such an incredible tune. I’m actually annoyed that I didn’t think of it for last night’s show.

🎶 He runs a bit like Shergar, and he jumps like Tír na nÓg
He looks like Billy Piper after half an ounce of coke 🎶

@imalcolm I once heard an interview with Blindboy where admitted that Spastic Hawk was written in the style of Bill Callahan, which introduced me to the albums of Smog.

Sure, he’s a funny Irish guy with a bag on his head, but he’s also deeply intelligent.

I should have suggested this song to @DJDarren for his Animal themed show. John K Samson is a truly gifted lyricist who should be better known outside his native Winnipeg.

@Bez_Lightyear I was explicitly banned from playing any of the Virtute songs, because my wife knows how sad they make me. I love them entirely, but yeah, they wreck me.

@TheBreadmonkey I wrote to my Tory MP about this, and he replied that rain - British rain - is a good thing actually, and that it was delivering fewer forrins because they don’t like getting wet.

@lionelb You’ve just reminded me of this magnificent Fiat Seicento that used to be parked near my house.

@DJDarren I can only apologise for not being a 'Live Clive'. I got into some gin with a friend and ended up..... distracted. However am thoroughly enjoying catching up and your comment on Pulled Apart By Horses made me do an actual lol. Another smashing show.

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

@TheBreadmonkey It’s just such a wilfully stupid concept, and I love it so much. No one actually believes he punched a lion in the throat, but fair play to the lad.

Glad you enjoyed it though 😊

I’m just now realising that, for some reason it could well be entirely possible to put together a two hour radio show comprising purely of songs about horses.

Why do songwriters love horses so much?

@nowster Outrageous. Blocked and reported for posting on the hoof.

Considering folks here have managed to create alternatives to music streaming sites, Bandcamp and YouTube, is anyone out there working on an alternative to this? https://mendeddrum.org/@DJDarren/112517284912521082

@RobertaFidora @hirad Oh, interesting! I’ll investigate that!

Listening back to yesterday’s edition of and have noticed 1 (one) fuck up.

Let me know if you hear it…

An update to this: There are 2 (two) audio related fuck ups evident. That’s pretty good for me.

I guess I understand why it’s the case, but it still blows my mind that British Standards documents aren’t freely available from .gov.uk as a download.

They’re literally the documents that outline how things should be done, but you have to pay a vast amount to access any of them.

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

@Supermouse Yes, that thought occurred to me.

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

@rwtwm Yeah. The company I work for has ISO 9001, 45001, 14001, and 15008 (and possibly others that I wasn’t involved with), and I honestly don’t think I could lay my hands on a copy of any of those documents that the company legitimately owns.

I've got an afternoon in London tomorrow and no idea how to spend my time.

My original plan was to go to the Natural History Museum but then I remembered it's half-term, so no thank you.

Any wonderful ideas?

@miffyhelen Yes, +1 for the Musical Museum. A man in tight leathers showed off his big organ to us and we were all entertained.
