The Plastic Mancunian: August 2015
http://plasmanc.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Ramblings and rants about Life, The Universe and Anything really. Sunday, 30 August 2015. I’ve been trying to come up with a suitable title for this blog post about weddings and reluctantly come up with The Wedding Planner. For reasons that will become clear. I say " reluctantly". Because the title reminds me of the film of the same name which is one of the worst films I have ever seen and it has coloured my judgement about any movie starring Jennifer “Jenny From The Block”. And, yes, I would take one fo...

http://plasmanc.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Ramblings and rants about Life, The Universe and Anything really. Wednesday, 31 December 2014. 2014 was a great year for my music collection. Several old favourite bands released new albums and I also explored a relatively new genre more extensively, discovering two new bands on the journey. I discovered two absolute gems. Here are two of my favourite examples featuring Tarja:. Here are a couple of songs that illustrate this:. The great news is that in 2015, Nightwish are back with a new album. I went to...

Ramblings and rants about Life, The Universe and Anything really. Friday, 26 September 2014. Yet Another Music Meme. I love a good meme and I love a good music meme even more. I have discovered yet another one while prowling cyberspace so without further ado, let’s get going. 1 Which bands/artist do you own the most albums by? That’s easy – Rush. 2 What was the last song you listened to? I am currently have iTunes on shuffle on my desk top and the song that has just finished is Here Is The News. I think ...

http://plasmanc.blogspot.com/2015/08/pop-music-through-decades-part-two.html
Ramblings and rants about Life, The Universe and Anything really. Saturday, 8 August 2015. Pop Music Through The Decades (Part Two). It’s time for another trip back through time, from the decade of my birth to the present day. Once again, I have trawled through my ageing brain, selecting a favourite pop song from every decade I have been alive. I hope you like them. 1960’s – Ike and Tina Turner – River Deep, Mountain High. She has a great voice and this is one of my favourite songs from the 1960’s. Talk ...

Ramblings and rants about Life, The Universe and Anything really. Friday, 27 February 2015. Foo Fighters - The Meme. Self –indulgence is good and makes me feel happy. As the dark days of January and February are almost behind me, and we are edging ever closer to spring, combined with a very exciting March, I have decided that I will dedicate a post a month to a musical meme based on my favourite artists. You may even learn a little bit about what makes me tick (or what makes me weird! Foo Fighters appear...

The Plastic Mancunian: What I Did Next Will SHOCK You!!!!
http://plasmanc.blogspot.com/2015/08/what-i-did-next-will-shock-you.html
Ramblings and rants about Life, The Universe and Anything really. Saturday, 1 August 2015. What I Did Next Will SHOCK You! I am being bombarded with information and it’s totally my own fault. I wouldn’t mind if this information was useful; most of it isn’t. Most of it is utter rubbish. It’s starting to annoy me and, what’s more, my own stupid temptation to indulge in this crap annoys me even more. You may be wondering what I am talking about. Let me explain. This concept is known as Fear of Missing Out.

Ramblings and rants about Life, The Universe and Anything really. Sunday, 26 April 2015. Nine Inch Nails - The Meme. It’s that time of the month again, the time when I allow a little self-indulgence and pontificate about one of my favourite musical artists. This month it is the turn of Nine Inch Nails, the band fronted by Oscar winning musical genius Trent Reznor. In fact, quite a few Nine Inch Nails songs have found their way onto movie soundtracks and TV programmes. 1 How long have you been a fan?

The Plastic Mancunian: March 2015
http://plasmanc.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Ramblings and rants about Life, The Universe and Anything really. Sunday, 29 March 2015. Porcupine Tree - The Meme. I’m sorry, dear reader, but it’s time again for a little self-indulgence. Recent readers will have heard me sing the praises of Steven Wilson, an English progressive rock musician and singer whose talents are endless. Steven Wilson is a multi-instrumentalist with the fantastic ability to produce memorable songs and is criminally unknown to most people. 1 How long have you been a fan? It is ...

The Plastic Mancunian: July 2015
http://plasmanc.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Ramblings and rants about Life, The Universe and Anything really. Saturday, 25 July 2015. How Times Have Changed. When I was a young man, in those dim and distant days when I found myself desperately seeking female companionship, womankind had me in their clutches. They had power over me and I was a slave to them. I fancied any woman who would talk to me and the more beautiful the woman, the more enthralled I was. And they were cruel, dear reader. 8220;She fancies you, Dave. It's obvious,”. 8220;Can we &...
