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.

An mp3 of the song playing in the background of the scene in Jurassic Park where Dodgson meets Nedry at the outdoor cafe and gives him the shaving cream can for smuggling embryos.

The interview with Neil Tennant from Attitude magazine in 93/94 where he came out. You'd think it'd be everywhere. There's 100s of other articles about him.

The song that plays during the trailer that used to run at the start of every manga anime dvd (or perhaps still does)

Slumpman, Thursday, 25 October 2007 14:39 (sixteen years ago) link

the Nescafe top 50 all time student albums published in 1987. Sounds magazine reported on it.

an ilx thread about new ghost towns in places like sacramento where office parks went up but never got inhabited

new ghost towns in places like sacramento where office parks went up but never got inhabited

sounds like my wife's vagina.

wait, WHAT?!!

a reasonable price for the "Breakin'" OST from a reputable merchant

A way to find out what the song in your head is when you don't know the words, only the tune.
"Boyz Unlimited", sitcom by Matt Lucas and probably David Walliams which I vaguely remember being funny.

Um, I can't find that thread that is "This is the thread where we get people to dig up stuff on ILX that we can't find"

Ironic I know.

Specifically, I'm looking for the links to that awful music device where you put your hand infront of light beams while some horrible general midi tunes play.

S-, Friday, 13 June 2008 05:39 (fifteen years ago) link

Is that really irony? I mean, I understand that there is something ironical about that thread where people complain about how much they dislike people who complain, but what about where you can't find the thread that is for people who can't find the threads they are looking for? I would call that tragicomic. Would I call it ironic? I am just not sure.

moley, Friday, 13 June 2008 05:49 (fifteen years ago) link

I am not saying it isn't irony. I am saying, I need some guidance here. I am curious as to whether it is irony or not. I feel my understanding of irony has become suject to modernist, morissettian redefinitions.

moley, Friday, 13 June 2008 05:51 (fifteen years ago) link

Or perhaps it is cosmic irony, or meta irony? And what I thought was irony was merely hypocrisy...?

moley, Friday, 13 June 2008 05:52 (fifteen years ago) link

I'm going home.

moley, Friday, 13 June 2008 05:52 (fifteen years ago) link

Much thanks.

I have no idea whether it has anything to do with his name, but apparently Donald Tusk is Kashubian.

The name of an American film/music critic from the 1930'S/40'd. I think Frank Kogan may have namedropped him.

Billy Dods, Tuesday, 1 July 2008 22:47 (fifteen years ago) link

The average depth of a human's skin, before you reach fat.

manny farber?

czn, Wednesday, 2 July 2008 21:01 (fifteen years ago) link

Skin thickness varies with age and body location, but averages only 1 to 2 millimeters (0.04 to 0.08 inches) thick.

Noodle Vague, Wednesday, 2 July 2008 21:01 (fifteen years ago) link

started in 40s, prominent through the 60s, probably too obvious for billy's query, tho I know kogan/mark s are fans, so...

czn, Wednesday, 2 July 2008 21:03 (fifteen years ago) link

I found Boyz Unlimited! It's now on 4OD. There is hope for us all.

Not the real Village People, Wednesday, 2 July 2008 21:44 (fifteen years ago) link

thanks Noodle, but I think that only applies to the epidermis?

Granny Dainger, Wednesday, 2 July 2008 21:47 (fifteen years ago) link

I don't think so, the FDA website I got that from says that's the whole skin, epidermis and dermis.

The ILE thread where Dan first shared with us the term "bootyflakes."

Information about a Christmas-themed parody of "Rapper's Delight," probably by a group calling itself The Sugar Plum [Sugarplum?] Gang.

A set of royalty-free pictures of state-appropriate things, one for each US-state (so uh a beach in Florida, an oilfield in texas, a skyscraper in New York, etc, that sort of thing?)

The ILE thread where Dan first shared with us the term "bootyflakes."

The search function's been upgrade since this question was posed, but damned if I'm gonna use it. Ugh.

Lyrics for "Paralysed" by the Legendary Stardust Cowboy.

I got as far as "I got a girl, way across down, sho won't come around unless I roll the sash down"

Mark G, Thursday, 30 October 2008 13:52 (fifteen years ago) link

"I got a girl, way down south, lives in a poo-stained house"

ledge, Thursday, 30 October 2008 13:54 (fifteen years ago) link

Reply to czn, no it wasn't Manny Farber, I think this critic may have died in the 40s or 50s, and was one of the first to write seriously on popular music in the 1930s.

Anyone who may be interested in the photography series I was looking for, it was this http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1256109/

Billy Dods, Thursday, 30 October 2008 13:59 (fifteen years ago) link

first line is a a lot clearer on Paralyzed '80s:

"I got a girl, way down south, she ain't gonna see me 'less I pull my shades down, paralyzed"

Think I'll go mad if I try to decipher any more.

ledge, Thursday, 30 October 2008 14:06 (fifteen years ago) link

ok it is "across town" not "down south".
