Enjoyed that! Now to clear up a misunderstanding I thought you meant Mrs MIlls.... the piano playing diva! who once shared a space in Abbey Road with the Beatles and I think was featured/mentioned on Sgt Peppers ....here is the lady just in case you have forgotten!...... i34.images obliterated by tinypic/5xoewy.jpg[/IMG] Love the testcards - black an white ones were my scene My fav weird sites are any ones with The Worst Album covers ever - how did they get away with them especially the ones from the 70's? They fell foul of every 'ist going (sexist etc etc ) Thanks Maddogfagin

Wonderful. I first encountered Mrs Miller via a radio programme I was presenting 10 years ago where we had a "Hall of Shame" feature. This led to a fascination with bad/crap recordings which has led me to hear quite a bit of rubbish. Mrs Miller still one of my favourites although The Portsmouth Symphonia is up there as well. As to web sites I must find the one dedicated to collecting bulldog clips.

There's more from them scattered around the web. Read an article a couple of years back where it stated they'd reformed but I never heard (excuse pun) anymore.

If you really like bad/rubbish/absolute sh**e singing and playing then I recommend this site. Not only has it got Mrs Miller and William Shatner but also the Kenny Everett worst records album. www.orthogonal.com.au/music/cult/index.htmOK if you really must

Morris Dancing gone horribly wrong ;D
And for our American cousins
Sir Arnold Bax wrote: "One should try everything once except incest and folk-dancing" in his book "Farewell my Youth" (1945).

Who'd a thought "Bandstand Busking brings life to unused bandstands across London. There are dozens of bandstands spread across the city, but when did you last spot one surrounded by a crowd excited to watch a talented band? We’re here to fill that gloomy void." bandstandbusking.com/all-busks/

spoof spoof spoof www.thespoof.co.uk/news/spoof.cfm?headline=s4i99766"The music world is bracing itself for a flurry of albums and singles from the rock band that refuses to die, Jethro Tull. Lead singer, lead guitar, flute player and one of only two original band members, Ian Anderson, has announced that he plans on releasing ten albums a year for the next ten years as he feels he may not have many playing years left in him. "I read somewhere," he said, scribbling down some more lyrics, "that Tull sold sixty million albums world wide. It's not enough. There's six and a half billion people on the planet. This means it's still more likely that you'll meet somebody without one of my albums than you will somebody with one." Jethro Tull have announced that is there intention to be the first band to sell one billion albums. "This means we've got to produce more albums," said Anderson. "Lots more. I'm nearly seventy, so I've not got many years left in me. I reckon we can do ten a year. We only need to sell another nine hundred and thirty million seven thousand four hundred and six albums." Anderson believes that he is in his richest vein of form since Jethro Tull's heyday in 1974, the second week of July, when he penned a hundred and four songs in one night. "The muse is with me, man," he said, scribbling more notes down. "Ten albums a year? At this rate it will be twenty. How does 'Yesterday the Postman Was Late' sound as a song title? Want to buy an album. Or ninety?"

Want to buy an album. Or ninety?" It's the extra oxygen you get when you play flute a lot. Some of those albums haven't been released. 100 more new ones? What about the 378 previously unreleased Tull albums already in storage, getting remixed and remastered for release? Those are masterworks, soon to be available at 48-bit/395Gigahz on BlueRay5 including the original concerts in New Zealand at New Years as holograms in "Vector-Play" so you project the band as 25' high people . Three of Jeffrey's paintings will be made available as "just add water" powder you can alternately choose to snort on a transit train.

Watch out TT, Bernie's a-coming to visit www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-20649024Flower power border divides US and Canadawww.youtube.com/?&v=tFl2Xk855xEIt is not exactly Checkpoint Charlie in Cold War Berlin. But a row of flower pots marking the border between the US and Canada is still provoking controversy in the communities affected. The villages of Derby Line, Vermont and Stanstead, Quebec, had long been separated by a border that seemed to exist in name only. But over the past decade fears about terrorism, smuggling and illegal immigration have led to increased security. Metal fences - and in the case of Church Street, flower pots - now block some roads. Residents who cross illegally face fines of $5,000 (£3,106). But meanwhile on the other side of the planet (at least from the UK's perspective) Driving school for dogs in New Zealandwww.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-20614593www.youtube.com/?&v=KH8f_7Mr_z8A charity in New Zealand is teaching rescued dogs how to drive a car. The canine driving school is aimed at proving how intelligent the animals can be. Monty the giant schnauzer is among the novice drivers who have learned to control the brakes, gears and steering wheel.
