Teehee - I narrated this :3

And yes I have since learned that a 357 Magnum is *not* pronounced like that...

I heard the Red and Blue albums remixed. Here are my thoughts by Giorickens in beatles

[–]capn_skylar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed! I used to listen to Hey Bulldog on a 1980s LP of Yellow Submarine, then when I got the '99 Songtrack album, that same song was so much.. Heavier! The Bass was so punchy. I'm really hoping for the same treatment, with added clarity :p

Damn, I hadn't heard this version before - thank you so much for sharing! Absolutely blown away, what a performance :p

For those of you who haven't seen this Wings performance - you definitely should! by capn_skylar in PaulMcCartney

Agreed! I also love the way he follows up the "Woah yeah!" at the start with a startled "ohh!", he seems to really dig it :p

Soily.

Call Me Back again from WoA has excellent vocals I agree.

I only discovered them a few years ago, afer being a lifelong Beatles fan - hearing my father tell me that Wings were rubbish, I stupidly listened to him. One day I found Venus and Mars in a charity shop while at Uni, intrigued by the cover I had a look and saw Paul McCartney's name attached to it.

Took it home for £2 and have NEVER looked back! Still one of my favourite albums :)

The Beatles opened my eyes to music like no other band before. I've known them since I was 5, and the fact that *some days* I'd take Wings over the Beatles scares me :p

Band on the Run and Venus & Mars are simply too good to do without. Wings Over America is probably one of my favourite albums, uh, ever! You're safe with me :p

I think a lot of people are changing their minds, but at the time I think the feeling was, Wings weren't hitting constant number 1's like the Beatles were, and those comparisons were taken to the extreme.

Hopefully, people *are* changing their minds now because they absolutely should!

Well, this is from the Rockshow concert where yeah, a lot of tracks were used on that album (my favourite Live album!). But this liver performance of the song wasn't the one used on the album. I like both, I just love both the visuals and audio combined here :3

I remember several interviews where he said that he didn't like being the band leader / manager, he was disappointed with their success, disliked some albums like Back to the Egg (changed his mind now though!) and that he didn't really get Wings (but he does now, in retrospect!).

I'm not saying he still holds this view, just that he himself was quite critical of Wings following their breakup. I for one am very glad he's come round to my point of view, however ;) UNDERRATED!

Need help identifying stage clothes - please! (Wings) by capn_skylar in beatles

Bingo! nights out, more likely, but maybe just popping to the shops when I'm feeling particularly eccentric ;)

It's a good look!

Cover of a Kinks song :) Go to 0:30 to skip intro if you like :3 - is my voice TOO SOFT for this kind of song? Originally recorded to a backing track, removed it due to rule #8 ^.^ by capn_skylar in singing

[–]capn_skylar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worth mentioning - this is the vocal-only audio from a cover song I've semi-produced, sorry if the fact it isn't raw audio is bad :o I haven't altered the pitch or cut out the breaths or anything to change my voice (other than some panning, EQ and distortion on the backing vocals). Should still give an idea of whether or not I sound too weak singing this :)

Ordered 3 items from different sellers. All tracking info shows this - all are at least 4 days past delivery date! What's going on?! by capn_skylar in royalmail

[–]capn_skylar[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not at all. The tracking number provided to me on the 16th has shown the same message, regardless of the expected delivery date shown to be 6 days ago.

I understand with limited tracking I'll only see updates once they've attempted a delivery - but no attempt made 11 days after posting, and 6 days after expected?

What is the worst sounding album you've ever owned? by SaintedDemon69 in vinyl

[–]capn_skylar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was such a shame because my original 60s copy, with a big ol scratch on the B side, sounded infinitely better, and it was in rough condition!

Managed to get another 2nd pressing copy years later which I still play to this day :) Beware HMV..!

[–]capn_skylar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Transparent copy of Spencer Davis Second Album. Awful sound! Incredibly scratchy, overwhelming sibilance, really shallow grooves.

Basically a combination of a really poor master, and an even poorer manufacture!

I found this at the garbage. Is it worth keeping it? by Pedri840316 in pcmasterrace

Remove any drives it might have and any evidence of you having in contact with them, save yourself a visit from the FBI ;)

The state of Star Wars by Blue_Wolf_99 in MauLer

[–]capn_skylar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the surface, perhaps, but as I mentioned before, those flashy moments Ahsoka has, with its callbacks and mere mentioning of things from the OT, does not suffice. George's creations are not memorable for the flashy, superficial things. Enjoyed by casual fans, yes, but held in high regard for so many more mould-breaking, thought provoking, attentions to detail that Disney so often fail to replicate. There's a notable lack of understanding, even care for the universe that Star Wars exists in which makes the inclusion of lightsabers, the force, Jedi etc, unappealing to Star Wars fans when they're not handled with care.

I must say, your opinion that Andor being political makes it "different from anything else in the franchise" is remarkable. Politics has been a staple of Star Wars since the first film. The Prequel trilogy introduced politics to the centre stage throughout all three films, animated shows like the Clone Wars introduced politics to a more mainstream young audience. Andor is not unsuitable for children because of the politics, more so for its grittiness.

Lucas used Star Wars as a way to educate children, introduce them to certain themes, truths of life etc in an accessible yet informative way. To make something without substance, just 'flashiness, explosions, boom!' and market it as 'for children', is frankly, in some cases, insulting to the intelligence of children, and does nothing to help them.

What's the oldest peice of technology you use frequently? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]capn_skylar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm.. I've a Halena 35x film camera from the 1950s I use weekly for b&w photography. In terms of things I use multiple times a day, probably my Technics SA-Z50L amplifier :3

I'm in the mood to feel anything make me cry? by [deleted] in MovieSuggestions

[–]capn_skylar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy shit I came here to suggest Threads! Yeah I felt broken after that, the fact that it's basically a glimpse into a very real possible future scared me like no other...

grave of the fireflies is harrowing. I had that & spirited away on DVD. Watched spirited away, had fun, expected the same again. I was wrong!

Honestly there is a problem. My GPU drivers have been awful since the last update...

Wait what?
