Something from Phantom of the Opera

and something from Mary Poppins

Sort of.

I'mo have to ask...what's the band and the album?

Band is Big Daddy - they've been around since the Eighties but took a long break.

That album is their latest, and it's titled Smashing Songs of Stage and Screen.

Their previous albums were What Really Happened to the Band of '59, Meanwhile, Back in the States, Sgt. Pepper's (yes, it is) and Cutting Their Own Groove.

{All of those are, indeed, Amazon links.}

Back in the 80s, i first heard of them through the amateur press alliance SFPA - the guy who mentioned them is now a producer on such minor things as Battlestar: Galactica.



{The original LP cover looked exactly like that}









Check back in this thread in a few hours; i have more.

One song from each album, in order, plus an extra that's not on any albums

Thanks for the info, Fairport. And the samples, I'm going to have to add these albums to my collection...

I've seen your list of webcomics. TV Tropes is less of a time trap...

Loooooooove it!

Oh, joy. More webcomics.

I launched an archive dive of Schlock Mercenary over Labor Day Weekend and surfaced after only 14 days.

I'll admit, there were breaks for work and sleep in there, but still.

ONLY 14 days??? I am impressed! That is quite the feat! I archived dived that one only once, and I don't even remember half (or more) of what I read, by now... Just like Sluggy Freelance. Read through once, and keeping mostly current now, but never planning to binge on the archive again...

Incidentally, I recently read through the archives at the Witheboard comic...
- And you DON'T want to know how many comics I have bookmarked... I'm not even sure, myself, as there are just that many... I am not current on most of them, but I did want to read them, at one point, enough to bookmark them...

'The Whiteboard'... anybody who routinely stores that much high explosives 'just because' is somebody I want to know... we could share recipes...

Yeah, anybody who saves up thorium for casual hobby use is somebody around whom interesting things are likely to happen.

My list generally varies between 85 and 120... and I'm current on all of them.

Funny thing about that. Some while back, I ran across a link to Whiteboard somewhere *ahem * and went through that whole archive. I've been reading the Guild Forum posts ever since. They're even more fun than the comic, and the story moves faster.

The week before Labor Day, Doc posted a link to the story of the time he built a replica Strohl BH-209 plasma cannon as an Xmas present for Howard Tayler.

Dooomed, I was. Doomed.

I love the Whiteboard, and I'm not a PB fanatic. My game of choice back in the day was Lazer Tag.
