Re: On Money, Asteroids, Cats etc

You don't think you're over-reacting a little, Mondrian, do you? The world hasn't ended yet. Cheer up.

Re: The Sixties

Society was attempting to divest itself of the shackles of the 50s. OK, the 60s weren't perfect - but the beat the hell out of the 50s. You won't get any argument from me there. I never liked the music of the 50's much either, with just the occasional exception, such as the Everly Brothers. It wasn...

Re: Merry Xmas and Happy New Year.

You wouldn't be a fanboy, would you, Danny? :D

Seriously though, I echo your sentiments, and am looking forward to the new Lind album, even if it is a collaboration with Ozzy Osbourne.

Szymon

(I realise I had posted this in the wrong section.) I don't know if anyone still comes to this board, but I just felt like sharing this: the first and last album from a young Polish-Australian who took his own life three years ago.

This lady is yet another singer who has been around a LOOOONG time but only lately come to my attention. Potted history: - Original lead singer with Fairport Convention, beforre leaving to be replaced by Sandy Denny. - Worked with a trio called Giles, Giles and Fripp, who were the precursor to King ...

Re: Happy Birthday Mr. Lind!

Yes I don't do Facebook, it's not something I need. I still check this board occasionally, but when I look at a forum and find the last post was by me and it was 3 months ago, that's a little discouraging. Bob mentioned something some time ago about a "new album" almost as a kind of throwa...

"Wandering" a.k.a. "Golden Apples of the Sun"

I'd be interested to know who wrote the music for this song, if indeed the author is known as opposed to "traditional". I already know the words come from the poem "Song of the Wandering Aengus" by W B Yeats. I tracked down two other recordings of the song, one by Judy Collins an...

Re: The Elusive Bob Lind

(coughs)

I think the truth behind this album's history is somewhat more sordid. Bob Lind himself may choose to fill you in on the details - or he may not, it's a subject he doesn't seem to like talking about.

There are a few threads on the board - this one for example.

Re: Bob Lind in "Gone," a short film

"No chickens were injured during the making of this film."? :roll: That reminds me of the album "Frogstomp" by silverchair, which carried the disclaimer "No llamas were harmed during the making of this album." That short film was utterly weird. Bob comes across as real...

Re: Tne New Bob Lind Album

Any info available on the upcoming new album? Like approximate release date or maybe even some song titles? Also, how about allowing board members to suggest some of the songs? Just a thought... Not much point in that unless it's an album of older material compiled in a new package. If it's a new a...

Re: Hey! Where'd December go?

At the very end of the Goldmine article. Somewhat of a throwaway comment by Bob, but this is the Internet, and you can't let slip things like that without them being forever quoted back at you.

So.... 11 months to wait, at the very most.

Re: Hey! Where'd December go?

"We won't have the time tomorrow to buy a ticket back to now" or in this case, the time now to buy a ticket back to yesterday. One of the missing posts had an excerpt from an interview in which Bob hints at a new album sometime in 2015. I'd definitely like that respored - and also more inf...

The photo on the website entry page

I hope I'm not offending anyone by saying this, and feel free to disagree. But... I think we could have a better photo than this one. Bob looks as though he's asleep standing up. There is no sense of life. We know from hearing things like the Live at Luna Star record that Bob is not like that, he is...

I recently discovered this lady, thanks to a local community radio station. There is not a lot of information about her on the Internet, but there is a fairly recent interview on Youtube. She is now 70. Back in 1970 she recorded an album, "Parallelograms", which never got much notice at th...
