You know you're a fanatic when you deliberately go into record stores and ask if MO has put out anything new...even when you know he hasn't. It gets them thinking about his stuff though. 2. You bribe staff at the record stores to play the latest MO album over their loudspeakers. 3. You ring up and write to all your local radio stations, asking them to play a track off MO's latest album.

Baggiesfaninessex Group: Members Posts: 682 Joined: Mar. 2002 Posted: Mar. 22 2002, 20:02 Actually mine was probably much worse because I had to refer to the Nokia instructions to work out which button applied to which note and also programmed in the sustain time for each note... Now that is really sad -------------- “A dog is not intelligent. Never trust an animal that's surprised by its own farts.” - Frank Skinner Back to top

timshen Group: Members Posts: 684 Joined: Mar. 2001 Posted: Mar. 23 2002, 08:59 What about if you take about 30 mins to programme the Ommadawn opening theme into your Siemens referring totally to instructions given on Tubular.net? -------------- Expect Great Things.

Baggiesfaninessex Group: Members Posts: 682 Joined: Mar. 2002 Posted: Mar. 23 2002, 13:10 That is equally sad. LOL ...perhaps even worse... -------------- “A dog is not intelligent. Never trust an animal that's surprised by its own farts.” - Frank Skinner Back to top

bibimimi Group: Awaiting Authorisation Posts: 25 Joined: Mar. 2002 Posted: Mar. 28 2002, 12:54 Used 'Voyager' as background music when I committed my family's silent 8mm home movies to VHS. When I played it for my family at the reunion, a friend of my brother's asked me who did the music. When I told him, he said, "Yeah, isn't that guy also an Olympic weightlifter??". Yeah, sure, whatever... Back to top

Baggiesfaninessex Group: Members Posts: 682 Joined: Mar. 2002 Posted: Mar. 29 2002, 08:38 LOL - Olympic weightlifter?? When it comes to guitarists, Mike is a super heavyweight. But weightlifting? Nah! PS Kgsrw...plus D-U-M-B Bells, doesn't quite fit the same....haha! -------------- “A dog is not intelligent.

He certanly lifts up my spirit with his music! Please....stop it..it's getting too corny...... -------------- Expect Great Things. Attempt Great Things. Back to top

TimHighfield Group: Members Posts: 543 Joined: Oct. 2000 Posted: Mar. 29 2002, 08:49 I think we've gone past that level of corny jokes, Korgscrew, but not in this topic (yet). Dumb bells sounds like something a critic might have described TMB/TBOTB/even TB3 in some cases, as, judging by some of the articles/reviews on Tubular.net and found elsewhere on the Internet.

bibimimi Group: Awaiting Authorisation Posts: 25 Joined: Mar. 2002 Posted: April 02 2002, 08:38 Critics are people who know a very little about alot of things, have one thing they are truly passionate about and everyone thinks they are crazy for. I've heard some disparaging stuff in my day at Mike's expense. I just feel sorry for them, mostly. Dumb-bell? More like deaf-bell. (Or cloth-eared...) Back to top
