Sherlock is Back, a new Dr Who, and Granville is back in the shop
Hello
to all, hope you are very well indeed. Yes, Sherlock will be back on
our screens very soon, we have a new Doctor and a Christmas special
of 'Open All Hours' is to be made into a new series, Marvellous!
There
seems to be some issue with the new Doctor, however. Firstly, we
recently saw
the BBC
screening of 'The Day of the Doctor', the long awaited transition
episode before the new Doctor (Peter Capaldi) takes up the mantle in
the Christmas Special
'The
Time of the Doctor'.
In
The
Day of the Doctor,
we have Matt
Smith and David Tennant interacting with John Hurt, who is the
incarnation of the doctor who destroyed Galifray. I'm not going to
get into the whole paradox theory of his eventual actions, just the
fact that with the arrival of John
Hurt
throws
a massive spanner in to Tardis
engine.
In 'The Night
of the Doctor'
(mini epsode on YT) Paul McGann, classed as the 8th
doctor, even though he only made one film, becomes John Hurt. This
would make him the 9th
doctor and Christopher Eccleston the 10th
If
John Hurt destroyed Galifrey and the 1st
Doctor
(William Hartnell) was a result of this, it
stands to reason that the John
Hurt
Doctor
is a very early version, if not the very first and original Doctor.
Also,
Paul McGann was commisioned to be the 8th
doctor, but because the film didn't do well his series wasn't made,
so
where does Peter Cushing fit in the grand scheme of things?
Also, some are counting David Tennant twice. Should they?
Just
something for your brain to chew over.
Sherlock
is to return to BBC One on New Years Day, and I cannot wait. I think
I may have sussed how he survived the fall, but unsure as to a few
details, but he must have had help, maybe an ex client or the baker
street irregulars.
Anyone
who is familiar with the Conan-Doyle
books, will have worked
out
straight away that he would be back, as the original tales have him
luring Colonel Sebastian Moran in to a trap, the
last of Moriarty's gang. I'm absolutely salivating at the thought of
a new series, cannot wait!
And,
at the distinguished age of 73, David Jason is to return as Granville
in a Christmas Special of 'Open All Hours'. In
the new one-off special,
Granville now runs the shop, having inherited it from Arkwright and
becomes the
boss
for the first time, as well as the return of characters including
nurse Gladys Emmanuel (Lynda Baron), now
herself
in
her twilight years.
I'm
not one for tv, unless it's something really good, most of what I
watch is online. But I
would much rather just have my music playing in the background as I
do something a bit more creative than watching the tube. I have a
fondness for long mixes, such as DjPrincessAnn or Bobby Martini, a
recent one I mentioned in a past post by Dj Morgoth (Mashupyourbootz)
has become a favourite of mine. But there has been a bit of a long
mix decline recently, but I'm glad to say that the dry spell maybe
over.
There
are two types of longmix. There is the 'get as many songs in as you
can' style and then you have the 'take you on a journey' style. I'm
not a big fan of the former, as they can be very busy, and
sometimes
aggressive
to the ears, and you end up getting annoyed because
you can't really keep up with the song.
Every now and then, though, a good one comes along. An example of
such a one is 'Pop
World 2013 (A Mashup Of 60 Songs)'
and can be found on youtube or facebook
again
available on youtube and soundcloud
One
annoyance is the creation of the word 'Danthology', Oh don't get me
fucking started. If we are
going to use this word, then we have - Pop
Danthology 2013 1 Hour HD, and
yes it is on youtube, someone made a 1 hour video, well done for
that, it is very well put together, as is the mix, but please be
warned that there is an appearance from Justin Beiber #shudder#.
You
will recognise the mashups in this mix, as it is a collection of
various mashup artists.
If
you fancy some modern house and euro beats, one I stumbled across
was
- Best
House Music 2013 Club Hits – quite
a refreshing sharp beat to this one. I like to listen to A.S.O.T. so
this one went down quite well.
So,
mah bitches, if yooz is like, wantin sum beats for the noo yeer
party, theres plenty out there.
Just
remembered, I also found a David Guetta Mix, comes in at about an
hour. I've not listened to it yet, but it's David Guetta, c'mon!
Over
on Vimeo, I have found Ithaca Audio, and a little beauty by them,
well a couple actually. Rolling
in the beats (live mashup) - 24 Video APC40 Mashup created by Chris
from Ithaca Audio, based
in Brighton,
East Sussex, and
they are responsible for the very clever video for Mercedes
(Mercedes-Benz - Sound With Power) availibe
for download on soundcloud and vimeo.
The
second track of theirs I want to highlight is the mashup - Game
Theory
I
really love the video to this, and the quirky but addictive track
really gets stuck in your noggin.
Don't hold back, just push things forward very powerful mix of star wars, shaft and obviously 'dont hold back. Brilliant
and
lastly - The
Mixtape
– Celebrating 50 years of the cassette tape with another innovative
video and a beautifully put together track, with the wonderful Etta
James starting proceedings, but with a beat build up reminisant of
the Djs from Mars early tracks.
I
don't normally get seasonal, but I went looking for xmas tracks that
have been remixed or updated, and have some little beauties.
New! Mix Dubstep Christmas 2012 - Xmas Dubstep 2012
This
one is actually from last year, but I've only just come across it.
The reason being, I usually look for this kind of thing, only to find
that there an absolute abundance of it, and it's usually shyte, but
this one really impressed the hell out of me, mainly by the amount of
work that must have gone into it, and the end result is really good,
it all works really well.
Dubstep Snowman
This
one is fantastic, not over done, everything works well together, and
the original track isn't harmed, is anything, it's better. You may or
maynot agree, but I love this mix
I recently listened to Michael Buble - Feeling Good (Noize Tank Remix) [Dubstep] and really enjoyed it, but felt like it was unfinished, but worth a mention https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJ8qPnp_wOk
Then
I came across Michael
Buble - Feeling
Good (Nave Remix) and
really liked it, I also wondered if these two could be mixed
together, hmmm! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnSyrml6KsM
Well
my poppets I'm gonna leave you now, but If you don't hear from me for
the rest of the year, Have a very happy DR WHO and a smashing
SHERLOCK
a friend of mine!
