Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted May 14 Moderators Share Posted May 14 (edited) Saxophonist David Sanborn has died. I remember finding an album of his when going through my dad's CDs when I started to get into jazz via the gateway of hip hop. I know that 70s and 80s sax sound is a bit cheesy to some but I love that sleazy groove. Voyeur is a particular favourite album of his for me. Marcus Miller and he made a hell of a team.

Ah that’s proper shit. Without him, this wouldn’t be even half the song it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The theme was a cracker, and not just because they managed to namecheck BA Baracus in it. I do remember watching it as a kid, but I bet it's aged horribly.

Paid Members Carbomb Posted May 15 Paid Members Share Posted May 15 Wow, Mandela Effect in full force for me there. I watched Super Gran as a kid as well. That theme tune was boss - not just for the lyrics and the fact that it was Billy Connolly, but also just the sheer sound of it: it's not a heroic-sounding theme, it's got that pub music/comic British sound, like something out of the Beano or Dandy. More superhero series should have them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night Music is amazing; there's a ton of it on YouTube. Some of the craziest line-ups to ever grace a TV live music show; one episode in series two has Debbie Harry, Pere Ubu, Phillip Glass and Loudon Wainwright III, one has The Pixies and Sun Ra, and one has Conway Twitty performing next to The Residents. It's incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Some Guy Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 New Zealand's greatest snooker player Dene O'Kane at the age of 61. Decent enough player who always looked on the cusp of breaking through but never quite did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
