I suppose this topic could come under 'music' - but am I the only one to feel that the volume in cinemas these days is too loud? I don't think that I have over sensitive earholes. Sometimes it sounds distorted (usually a sign that the sound is too high).

Now I know that there are some ex-projectionists out there, so any ideas/comments please?

Jim

I've done it again - posted a topic and not logged in! Sorry!

Good morning boys.

On Radio 2 Saturdays Brian Mathews presents Sounds of the Sixties between 8 and 10 am. He features a three back to back set , often they are with a theme so with this in mind which three 60's pop sounds would you like to hear which have been played in films. My three would be;

Ferry 'cross the Mersey - Gerry and the Pacemakers.

On Days like These - Matt Monro

Les Bicyclettes de Belsize - Englebert Humperdink

Remember the song must be from the sixties hit parade, the film can be from any decade, British of course though.

LOL

The world wags on.

Now, whenever I hear Ferry 'cross the Mersey, I think of 'The Scousers' on Harry Enfield doing it.....Eh Eh Eh Calm down calm down.......

But I love On Days like These, ofcourse we all know which film this is from....incidentally, I always wanted to see it on the big screen and did so in Panton Street about 6 years ago........

'This car belongs to the Pakistani Ambassador'

Not so much a fillum theme, but I love the music from White Horses.

Billy Liar

I don't know how to begin. Anyways I adore Skinhead Reggae what? skinheads and reggae? Well yes the original skins were not political and were huge reggae and soul fans, we followed in thier footsteps, buying old sta-pressed, Brutus shirts and tonic suits.

Since hanging up my boots I've listened to a lot of Punk, stuff like Black Flag, Ramones, Circle Jerks, D.O.A. etc. I've always prefered the American punk of the early 80's.

Here's a list of bands I really dig

The Smiths
The Wedding Present(all time fav's)
The Kinks(Something else & Village Green albums are sublime)
Gillian Welch
Pink Floyd
The Upsetters
Laurel Aitken
Prince Buster
Sam & Dave
The Who
Maytals
The Specials
Echo & The Bunnymen
The Artwoods
The Creation
Gladys Knight

+ many many more, vinyl not CD though.

Harbottle

A few favourites :

The Ipcress File
The Third Man
The Great Escape

Gibbie

There's a guitar theme in here somewhere.

Billy Liar

Aye, Eddie Phillips of The Creation fame was sublime. Page half-inched his playing style(violin bow) I also remember reading that Eddie once played the guitar with a pork pie, Superb! Who could forget his perfect and very 60's description of the band 'our music is red with purple flashes'

'Happening right now, BIFF! BANG! POW!
