What Can't You Find On The Internet?

My God - I never realised this! And it seemed such an apt monker anyway (he is from Barnet, he is ape-like). How extraordinary!

Also moving pictures (say Real Video) of Mazinger Z are unfindable.

In the meantime, it's part of the zip file of Pavement tabs you can get here (click on "All Pavement Tabs!!"), though it doesn't seem to be available separately. It's only an 84k zip file, so it won't take long to download, but if you'd rather not get the whole zip then let me know and I'll send you the individual file.

Also, from what I've seen, full details of exactly which seats changed hands in UK general elections up to 1970, though I might just not have looked hard enough.

In fact, information on 60s-70s ska and reggae seems to be pretty sparse in general, sadly. I also can't find mp3s of a couple of dancehall tracks I'm looking for, but I should probably stop being a cheapskate and buy them, except I have no idea where I'd buy them.

I'm having one of my intermittent reggae obsessions, as you can probably tell...

I can't find a resolution for the www contradiction between Lloyd Cole, on the Lloyd site, saying he loves Robert Quine and they're going for NYC Chinese food next week, and Quine, on the Quine site, saying, "Lloyd Cole just wants to make MOR records for the commercial radio" etc.

Most importantly, I can't find 'Ask And He'll Answer' Nicky D answering my question of a while back, namely: why are there two different versions of the Magnetic Fields' GET LOST LP?

Do you have to go and buy tracks while they're still reasonably new, or is there a fair bit of back stock? And are the Greensleeves riddim compilations mixed or do they feature full-length tracks? I'm mainly looking for "Money To Burn" (don't know who this is by but it rocks) and Mr Easy's "Crazy", both of which are based on the Buy Out riddim, but I'd be interested in any other Buy Out tracks or, well, anything, really. (Cue lots of dancehall connoisseurs laughing at me - as you can see, I don't really know what I'm talking about at all. I feel far too white and middle-class to say "riddim", as well, but it seems fairly unavoidable.)

Anyway, thanks very much for your help, much appreciated, you rock. And an excuse for a record-shopping trip to the Berwick Street area is always appreciated, even if I haven't dared venture into the non- indie shops before :)

(sorry) :-)

Really, I was amazed!

I needed some for the inlay of a mix CD I was making for a friend, but I couldn't find any. Had to use some generic girl-girl stuff and change the names.

It must be out there somewhere surely!?!

Trying to find the name of a BBC TV series on photography which was broadcast about ten years ago. USP was it looked into the stories behind particular historic photographs e.g Hindenburg disaster, Kim Phuc Vietnam photo interveiwing the photographers,participants and witnesses.

The British television version of The Owl Service.

I really want to know why Donald Tusk has such a ridiculous, un-Polish name, but the internet will not help me (in English, anyway).

Also, I can't find that Nazi propaganda poster of the Jewish octopus controlling the world (the head is a dollar sign centred on New York, and in a neat touch the tentacle stretching to the Philippines has been severed by a samurai sword).

A Chinese communist propaganda poster I saw in the Tate once called "The Nightmare of Future War" which was either the inspiration for the opening scenes of Terminator, or a startling coincidence. Or a fake. There was a futuristic warplane that really was similar to the ones in the film, searchlights and flak, and the ground was a sea of skulls.

i was wondering about donald tusk too! apparently the donald comes from an englishman his grandma fell in love with (it was his dad's name too) but i got no leads on tusk. of scandinavian origin i suppose? pronounced toosk anyhow.

I MET A MAN NAMED ADMIRAL LINgbert and i cannot find him on the internet

Amazing, thanks budo!

cheers! good thing i reorganized my bookmarks recently

I seem to remember sometime in the past year, someone posted (probably on ILM) about a website that archived liner notes, LP and CD booklet scans, etc. Anyone know the site? (I've already found albumlinernotes.com, not sure if there are any other such sites.)

This? The Liner Notes Project

Pretty sure that was it, thanks!

Hey all, so there is lurking in ILX somewhere a reference and YT link to a TV play originating from perhaps Poland or Germany, I'm guessing late 70s/Early 80s.

It was a futuristic society story, 1984/Brave New World kinda thing, very minimal low-budget stage set, lotsa perspex and chrome iirc and I'm fairly certain it had a one-word title.

Love the look of this - fwiw MN, this is an adaptation of the Yevgeny Zamyatin book 'We'.

in fairness budo jeru had already got that one

oh yeah, sure, i was just boosting the original novel as well, which is v good.

is there a particular translation into English that---we---should look for?

I once caught an episode of German pop show Formel Eins. There was a ridiculously OTT new romantic group debuting their single, a protest song against the cold war. I remember there was a background with a cowboy and a cossack playing chess - not sure whether this was a music video or just how Formel Eins chose to illustrate the performance - and I strongly remember the line "why did the Russians invade Afghanistan?", for its literalness and out of placeness in a synth pop bop.

This was decades ago (at which point ofc it was already a decades old rerun) and I may have exaggerated some or all aspects in my mind since.

seems ridiculous that you can have an isbn number but all that comes back in searches is 100 pages selling the same "ed mcbain omnibus" with the same "cover coming soon" and no information about what's in it. i swear the internet used to be more helpful.

The name of a book published around 1912 that contained offensive (for the time) songs and poems. I think the title started with an I. And it was available on Google Books.

Still looking.

A gallery of all 9 original panels of "A Short History of America" exist online in a decent (or *gasp* high) resolution?

All I could find is this YT in reasonable quality -

Nice, thank you!

video of New Pornographers "The Laws Have Changed" on Letterman circa 2003?

It used to be here but was taken down: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzyp3JC9-uU

I just saw them on Letterman. They did "The Laws Have Changed," which was exactly what I wanted to hear, and the most obvious song to play. Neko looked really pretty, more beautiful than I remember her being from the two times that I've seen the band perform.

Carl looks more like Howdy Doody with each passing day.

...

Andy Partridge once wrote a mini-essay (or post?) about songwriting in which he used an extended metaphor about going around a racetrack built by his forebears (the Beatles, the Move, the Kinks, etc.) This may have been a myspace post? Or maybe that's just where I originally saw it, in my memory. It's not in the Complicated Game book and I can't seem to find it on Chalkhills (it wasn't really "news" or "press").
