Random Thoughts Department:
1) UK Comedy recommendation-of-the-month:
I don't know how this one got past me when it first aired, but 2 episodes into the DVD box set, I'm declaring this BBC mockumentary series as "The Spinal Tap of the 21st Century". (YMMV) See it. NOW.
2) It's beyond our mission statement here to provide comprehensive reviews of new releases, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to toss out a few titles getting a more rotation than usual in Uncle's office:
3) Related to 2.... If you care... "Affinity" is a 2 CD set (fine so far) where CD 2 is simply a 100% instrumental version of the regular album. Otherwise, identical. This seems to be a growing trend in the prog & metal worlds; Nightwish & Edenbridge did the same thing with their most recent studio efforts (and I'm sure there were a hundred more I missed).
Uncle doesn't really get this. Now, I can see where A VERY SELECT FEW albums might benefit from this presentation. (Nightwish, for sure. Pink Floyd? maybe...) But personally I can't think of more than a handful of albums from my all-time 500 where I'd enjoy an instrumental version more (let alone as-much) as the original.
Led Zeppelin II sans Robert Plant? Sabbath's Paranoid, Ozzy-free? Queens' Night At The Opera with 0% Freddie Mercury? I don't see the attraction. Maybe it's a musician thing. I can't say.
