[ROCKTOBER 4] darraghmac Appreciation Day

how have u adjusted to the realization that u are franz schubert

31 January 1797 – 19 November 1828

u must be close to outliving your first incarnation

The cause of his death was officially diagnosed as typhoid fever, though other theories have been proposed, including the tertiary stage of syphilis.[60]

that would explain why the current incarnation of deems/schubert no longer drinks from stagnant ponds or visits viennese houses of ill repute

Which in turn explains my having outlived.

Still, you die and learn eh

my view exactly

darraghmac, what is your favourite situation comedy?

That alf garnett were a right life.

idk what all counts. yr porridge and yr steptoe and son and yr yes ministers all had somethin but i dig right through to arrested development or boosh or conchords if they all count.

im not a fr ted fanatic but i have a sense of ownership of it that makes it that bit more dear to me.

Rossiter of course is peerless. Hmmm. Good question.

what is your favourite album by a band

Oof something appalingly indie i guess, i dont rly have a favourite 'album' by 'a band' tho or at least i havent in a dozen years

I am never surprised when darraghmac appears in a thread as The Voice of Reason. Nor am I surprised when he appears in a thread armed with spitballs and a wicked aim. He has that kind of versatility.

You're the 1st person to mention rossiter! Prob the best "canon" choice

The agonies of morgan, rossiter, corbett all seem of a type to me

yeah, altho arguably Steptoe is less of a heel than the other two

Eh his sins mirror teds in many ways i think, the prideful yen for escape of purgatorially dull company to an alternative more feared than the staying

ah but don't forget Ted isn't above the odd bit of embezzlement, more or less lethal disregard for the needs of others etc

Ted's and Rigsby's respective Hells feel more of their own making, Harold's is more arbitrary maybe

sorry, "of their own making" as in appropriate punishment for their sins

Perrin a different beast obv and more of a horror performance at times for that

xp those daybyday throwaway tedisms are more satires of the irish political class than core characteristic imo

The sins, purgatory, guilt, punishment catholicism (tho obv perrin couldnt be much more coe) aspects run deep through all in any case and prob draw me deeper in than other sitcom examples

Ted is really beholden to The Third Policeman in a bunch of ways i think

Im sure if i knew enough about dante the other two would suggest similar parallels but yeah tonally and everything else ted is permeated with the anguish of the surreal and the impossible mundane

rly feeling dmac atm

think he's secretly one of the best & fairest advice givers on ilx

I'm openly one of the best tbh

thanks markers btw

looking at upper body stuff for the summer the legs aren't gonna get much better than this *preens*

I did not enjoy that but i did enjoy thinking abt Fr Ted, Reggie Perrin and Harold Steptoe prior to that

gotta help organise a work lunch next month, st patrick's day theme

help me steer clear of the usual cliches, big man

Hmmm

dont do it, blow the funds, the night before ring the ecb in a panic, try to convince them that the event is of systemic importance

this was good advice imo

^^^

deems what sort of albums are you referring to there

We must face facts. Deems, although we may love him as much as any man this side of idolatry, has little latin and less greek. Takes him down a peg or two.

idk do I like an entire album. I'd struggle to pick five I'd bother to take to a desert island.

the aul fella used to have Latin got him nowhere has Irish got him nowhere had Norwegian got him to Norway didnt bother with Dutch despite living there for years I said I'd stick with French and English they were forcing me to learn those but at least they didn't claim I had a moral duty to love em unlike with the gaeilge

the posh school on the island still did Latin as of 99 which is just lunacy imho

was a time all the posh boyos had latin up the wazoo. what's more, you could kick a ball in the street.

we had a posh school, absolutely no posh boyos tbh

heard youve been downloading some really interesting albums lately deems

denied

huh

maybe it was wins then
all of these single syllable ilx posters

def heard wins was super into feeder and 'the chillis' right now

i have heard albums by those bands

that might be it?

it was some time ago tho

The Chillis

Jens Ehm - Gitarren, Leadstimme –

Jens ist neben dem Bassisten Mülli eines der zwei Urgesteine der CHILLIS. Bereits 1985 gründeten Sie zusammen Ihre erste Band. Im Laufe der Jahre entwickelte sich ein eigener Stil, geprägt durch die klare und ausdrucksvolle Stimme des Leadsängers und seine Leidenschaft zum akustischen Gitarrenspiel. Spätestens als er dann die Elektrogitarre sein Eigen nannte, war der typische Chilli-Mix vom Akustik Pop bis hin zu Soul, Funk, Reggae & Rock geboren !
Seine meist weiblichen Fans verlangen stets nach dem eigens komponierten „Schmuse-Hit“ Sunhine und können gar nicht genug davon bekommen.en…

Michael „Mülli“ Müller - Bass, Gesang, Stage-Announcements, Keyboard –

Hallo und willkommen zum BÄSSten Teil dieser Homepage! Wie schon erwähnt ist Mülli eines der zwei Urgesteine von THE CHILLIS. Seine prägnante Zweitstimme harmoniert durch das jahrelange gemeinsame Zusammenspiel so perfekt mit der Leadstimme von Jens, dass sie für alle Zeiten, als nie mehr ersetzbar scheint. Darüber hinaus verleiht Mülli, den im Programm anstehenden Songs, immer wieder ihre Eigennote, durch spezielle und überraschende Announcements -sprich Ansagen- , die beim Zuhörer Verwirrung bis hin zu schweren Erheiterungszuständen auslösen. Außerdem drückt er ab und an die weißen und schwarzen Tasten, so dass es sich möglichst groovisch, jazzig, oder irgendwie abgefahren zum musikalischen Spiel seiner Kollegen
hinzufügt.

Uli Maier -Gitarren, Chorgesänge-

Uli ist, wie sein Nachname erkennen lässt, verwandschaftlich mit dem Schlagzeugmann Micha Maier verbunden. Ja ja ja, der Bruder ! Im zarten Jugendalter erwarb der junge Ulrich eine Gibson ES 335, welche bis heute und darüber hinaus, immer wieder diverse Nebenbuhler zur Seite gestellt bekommt - meist in Form eines *Paddels - in den Farben "Blond" und "abgerockter Sonnenuntergang" (Info: *Telecaster - für die Nichtmusiker unter der werten Leserschaft). All diese Schätzchen inklusive dem filigranen Gitarrenspiel Ulrichs’ entzücken auch, in letzter Zeit verstärkt, immer wieder den weiblichen Teil der Zuhörerschar.

Micha „Der Kapitän“ Maier -Schlagwerk, Chorgesänge-

Micha der Kapitän an der schweren Batterie lenkt alle seine Mitstreiter sicher und zielgesteuert durch alle Untiefen der musikalischen Darbietungswelt. Dies tut er schon fast sein ganzes Leben lang und nebenbei ist er wie bereits erwähnt auch der Bruder von Gitarrenmann Uli. Bevorzugte Musikstile sind alle bei denen es groovt, swingt, dingelt, shakert, etc.
Nicht mehr wegzudenken - Chillis Betriebsrente guaranteed !

Der Kapitän war schon in den verschiedensten bekannten Bands wie z.B. Spider Murphy Gang (All-Star-Band),

Infrarot (early 80's), Flex Machine,

KEINE AHNUNG, Müller, Maier, Schmitt zu Gange.

The Chillis werden Sie begeistern – „Accoustic & Live“
