Hamilton Saint

Yeah! That gives me an excuse to post a link to this incendiary performance Neil gave of Rockin' in the Free World on Saturday Night Live (1989). Awesome! PLAY LOUD! http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7luq7_neil-young-rockin-in-the-free-world_music

He's off the side!

Come on, Saints - a few more goals, please!

I took a tour of the Hall & Woodhouse brewery back in August; it's located in Blandford St. Mary in Dorset. A very interesting and informative tour that lasted almost two hours. I learned a lot. They have antique versions of many of the key pieces of equipment used in the brewing process. An interesting aspect of the tour was the explanation of how they do lots of market research in order to create new beers that satisfy modern tastes. Some of their ales have been in production for a very long time; but others are introduced and then dropped in response to the market.

Who knows, but is it anything like a weido?

We'd have 19 points and a much better GD. We'd leap above them all, from 21st to 18th.

They forgot that we started at -10; or they haven't been following our recent form. They probably just think, "Oh, two teams close together at the bottom of the table - let's predict a draw". Or they're just thick!

Just been looking at the fixture list and the table. There is a full slate of games tomorrow (Tuesday). If we win (likely, but you never know!) and Brighton fail to win (they're home to second-place Charlton); or if we win and either Orient (at home to fifteenth-place Gillingham) or Brentford (at home to third-place Colchester) lose, then we will be out of the bottom-four! I hope you followed that.

Interesting comparisons. Thanks for your effort in compiling this.

I watched this at the cinema last night. It has been retitled Pirate Radio for the North American market. It's a lot of fun, but it plays seriously fast-and-loose with the facts. Kenneth Branagh gives a marvellously OTT performance as Sir Alastair Dormandy, the evil villain of a minister who is responsible for dealing with the pirate radio file. In reality, it was none other than Tony Benn who was in charge of that issue - and he was one of the more progressive members of that government. There are a lot of anachronisms in the film - especially in the slang used and the music played. The bulk of the film is set in 1966, but there is a lot of music on the soundtrack that actually came after that. The ending is really melodramatic - with its allusions to the Titanic disaster and the Dunkirk rescue - and it really goes overboard (excuse the pun) in trying to pull at the heart strings. Anyway, it's worth seeing. And Philip Seymour Hoffman is great as an Emperor Roscoe styled DJ ("the Count"), Bill Nighy (as always) is good - as the station manager, and Rhys Ifans is wonderful as the sleazy DJ Gavin. I hear the film didn't do very well in the UK, though. I suppose if you didn't lived through that period, it might not be of immediate interest, and if you did, you might take exception with the liberties it takes with the facts.

Have you listened to the remastered CD? It includes a long interview with Ian Anderson where he describes the circumstances of how that LP was recorded - a new studio that he was not happy with. An interesting listen.

I just listened via BBC i-player to a Radio 2 programme by Bob Harris called The Songs The Beatles Gave Away. It's about songs written by John, Paul and George which were were recorded by other artists. Some of the songs were leftovers; some were written to order. I was familiar with most of the songs, but there are few rarities featured on there, and several demo recordings featuring Paul and George. The interviews heard feature Paul, George, George Martin, Johnny Gentle, Cilla Black, Mary Hopkin and Jackie Lomax. The music features Johnny Gentle, Billy J. Kramer, The Fourmost, Cilla Black, Peter & Gordon, The Applejacks, The Strangers, P.J. Proby, Chris Barber, the Black Dyke Mills Band, Mary Hopkin, Jackie Lomax, Carlos Mendes and Doris Troy. This programme is available on BBC i-player until Saturday, Dec. 5th. It's an hour long. Worth a listen, if you're a Beatles fan. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00p1mv7/The_Songs_The_Beatles_Gave_Away/

An away game played at home. How does that work? :confused:

Yes, indeed - it's a good feeling, eh?!

It's there - choose the tab "team lineups".

Yellow and navy.

Northampton hit the post. Defence under pressure.

Finally on - 13 minutes before kick-off.

15 minutes to kick-off and still no Saints Player commentary. Anyone else connected to their live commentary yet?

After they've fixed the fire hydrant, you mean?

When I listen to music, it's always complete albums ("LPs"); I stopped listening to just individual songs ("singles", or "45s") in 1969! Bach's Brandenburg Concertos conducted by Christopher Hogwood Surf's Up by the Beach Boys Smiling Phases - a 'best of' compilation by Traffic

Time to do another roll-call of Saints in Canada, eh? I'm located in Hamilton, Ontario.

I have a double LP by Idle Race (on vinyl) called Impostors of Life's Magazine. It's on Daffodil records, and was released only in Canada (1973).
