the.final.front.tear
having been asked what my favourite spaceships from tv and/or film are, i had a ponder. and then pondered some more. then watched some films, one more ponder and then compiled a list. and it’s got bloomin’ pictures and everything.
shiny
uss.enterprise
ncc-1701 d (the next generation, not ncc-1701 from the original series) mainly because it’s what i got to know first i think. i became much more familiar with captain jean luc and co before discovering there was trekking afoot before him. the one thing that does put me off this ship is my sister had one as her alarm clock and you used to have to take the plate of the ship off and on to stop the alarm which was the alarm you hear on the bridge, followed by ‘the enterprise is under attack, get up and do something’, or whatever the klingon option was. the enterprise is probably the first image that comes to mind when someone says spaceship
millennium.falcon
no list of anything is complete without it, no list. cool ship with a cooler captain. i imagine that the falcon is now rented out for hen parties and has knacker sluts shouting out the window at blokes. but then again, in space, no one can hear you scream.
the.tardis
i’m not much of a doctor who fan, mostly due to cunty tennant taking over from a near perfect chris eccelstone, but a giant time travelling spaceship inside an old english police phone box is pretty awesome. and i reckon, once in, after smashing enough buttons i could call up the cctv footage which is bound to have billie piper getting changed. woof.
discovery.one
from 2001: a space odyssey, possibly the most relaxing film i’ve ever seen. so relaxing in fact, that i drifted off while watching it, then woke up and thought i was tripping off me wagon. part of my kubrick stint recently. i much prefer full metal jacket… if only there was a cross between the two. nam in space. yes please.
tie.fighter
you may know it from the opening sound of ash’s album 1977. or you may know it from that film that came out the same year. peow!
starbug
from red dwarf, much prefer it to the actual red dwarf ship. my love for this is enhanced by dwayne dibley.
the.righteous.indignation
where S.P.A.C.E (sentient protoplasm against colonial encroachment) members jenny, blinky and deadeye duck followed the orders of one captain bucky o’hare. i think this is where my brief affair with buckfast came from. ahh, the long hot summer of 2004… crescent warrior (not a spaceship but a trawler that doubled as a buckfast playground at night) we hardly knew ye.
thunderbird.3
the red one. used for rescue missions and maintenance operations on thunderbird 5 (the space station) my favourite of the 5. way cooler than thunderbird 2, which looks like a fish made of snot, that was found down the back of the sofa.
klingon.bird.of.prey
just looks cool dunnit?
mega.maid
she’s gone from suck to blow! nuff said really.
loves space me.
f*ckity bye
guy.fawkes.into.a.bar
you know the rest.
it’s bonfire night and i am convinced that there is a war breaking out in salford, the noise of the array of fireworks all around is astonishing. it’s created qite a thick fog and i can’t see far out the window, which isn’t a bad thing. where i live looks like one of those high class prisons where they put sex offenders locked up together so the general population can’t harm them.
but that’s just what i think. nice benches though.
me and my partner in crime will be taking on the challenge of a film soon, as well as our interviews we are recording/filming, and it will be shot and edited entirely on mobile phones. gonna be an interesting one, we’re thinking of focusing it on train stations. specifically the platforms with the goodbyes and emotions, as well as the sprint to get to the train before it pulls off. keep your wandering eye here as i’ll probably put up a few clips during the process. clips from the radio show should be up here next week to.
and keeping on the subject i’ll leave you with this video of one guy with a camera in his noggin. a view from inside the fire.
f*ckity bye
nano.nano
i will not be talking about mork and mindy here unless it is requested. which hopefully it will not be.
no, today i am referring to these bad boys. the new Korg Nano series..
i need a midi controller. i’m fairly limited without one and i have been looking at these guys lately, they seem quite decent and at a lovely price of just £42 for the keys and pad and £47 for the kontrol which is very reasonable. there is a set you can get with all three and a nifty little carry case for a cool £155. bargain if you ask me. i had been looking at the Korg MicroKontrol but at the moment it is out of my student/peasant price range though i’m keeping my peelers open for a second hand one to drop off the back of a lorry and land on my lap. so if you know of any going, give me a shout.
i’ve started work on the new myspace, and also a couple of tunes, but none finished and won’t be for a while.
what? oh ok then…
the things i do for you.
f*ckity bye
