Haha, great stuff, folks, keep it coming.

Speaking of disco, I absolutely love Patrick Cowley:

Synthie Frisco disco inspired by Moroder. A shame that he didn't live to make more records.

Did you know that Ma Baker was inspired by a Dutch disco cover of a Tunesian folk song?

If anyone's interested, I found a great traditional take on the song on my old hard drive:
https://soundcloud.com/user-860765554/sidi-mansur
I don't know the name of the artist, I got it off youtube in 2007 or so and I can't find the video anymore.

The tune of Boney M's Rasputin is also partially based on a folk song, a Turkish/Serbian melody, "Kâtibim":

"Oh! those Turks"

Eartha Kitt's cabaret version is the source for Rasputin, but if you want to hear a more authentic rendition of the song search for "Safiye Ayla - Katibim" on youtube.

I love folk music and random music trivia like that.
I'm sorry, I'm posting too many videos at once. I just can't decide which song to post.

There's too much interesting stuff out there and I'm jumping from one song to another.
It's an Asperger's problem. Okay, I'll stop now, sorry... :blush:

"Dark Side of the Moon" is fantastic, I can't find anything bad to say about that album.

I also like Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" and "Animals".
And the songs "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun" and "Chapter 24" from their early psychedelic albums.

Not sure how much influence Alan Parsons had on the sound of DSotM, but I really like his Alan Parsons Project albums with Eric Woolfson. "Tales of Mystery and Imagination", "I Robot" and "The Turn of a Friendly Card" are my favourites.

Most of their later stuff is a bit too kitsch, but this is a standout track for me:

It's Arthur Brown again. This is the original 1976 version, the 1987 remix is a bit of a mess.

Woolfson had a fine singing voice, I love the demo tracks for the early APP albums with him doing lead vocals.

He wrote most of the songs, I wish they'd gotten him to sing on the albums.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
