Matt Group: Admins Posts: 1186 Joined: Nov. 2002 Posted: Mar. 07 2008, 06:58 I notice the front page of tubular.net recently added a note at the top which includes "Warning: may contain slightly distorted comments". Hmmmm, what is a "slightly distorted comment" and have you been guilty of making one! Is it distorted in the textual sense: "I LllOve     AmmaROk" or in a warped mind sense: "Music Of The SphereS is obviously Mikes coming-out piece since its initials are MOTSS" distorting the truth: "Music of the Spheres is rubbish, an obvious rip-off of William Friedkins films theme tune" or just disturbed: "I've turned my house into a shrine for Mike, every room is wallpapered with his album covers and pictures, anyone have his phone number so I can ask for his old tubular carpet for my bedroom?" What do you think? -------------- "I say I say I say I say, what's got three bottles and five eyes and no legs and two wheels" Back to top

There is no "right" one, I am adding this post to communicate my thoughts to share them with like-minded souls who will be able to comment in good nature.

Makes us sound like health food. -------------- "I'm no physicist, but technically couldn't Mike both be with the horse and be flying through space at the same time? (On account of the earth's orbit around the Sun and all that). So it seems he never had to make the choice after all. I bet he's kicking himself now." - clotty Back to top

I had actually forgotten that part, Caveman. Thanks for the reminder, even though it brings to mind an unpleasant lentil cooking incident from years ago (haven't touched a lentil since). -------------- "I'm no physicist, but technically couldn't Mike both be with the horse and be flying through space at the same time?

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Mar. 12 2008, 19:43 The following comment is not by me but by BTH, it appeared on another thread here, and I'm just quoting it because I find its "slight distortion" (or distortedness?) quite appealing. I hope Sweetpea forgives me for quoting... ... but here it goes: "Mike Oldfield is Mike Oldfield. He makes music that sounds like Mike Oldfield". -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top
