A New Moonie
 

Hello!!!

Just discovered the site and station a couple of hours ago and am already hooked!!!

I can see listening here is rapidly going to cost me a lot of wonga in expanding my CD collection, maybe it's a good thing that a lot of what I have heard so far isn't that easily available!

Couldn't see a welcome forum or place for newbie's to introduce themselves, so jumping in with both feet and starting a thread of my own! Hope the established Moonies don't mind!!!

Re: A New Moonie
 

welcome to the moon, Richard! jumping in is good! the water's great! :D

Re: A New Moonie
 

Glad to have you. Don't be a stranger, you will find most of us are regulars and we love new blood.

Re: A New Moonie
 

Too true.............welcome to The moon Richard. Greetings from a fellow Brit.

The more we get in this family of proggers the better.

Enjoy!!!!

Re: A New Moonie
 

Is wonga the new currency over there?;)

This is a good a place as any, thanks for being forward! No deference needed to "established" Moonies, thanks for asking:blush:

Re: A New Moonie
 

Welcome from another recent moonie........."Wonga"? Hmph!! I have this problem with excessive spending, since coming here....????.....Maybe if I call it "wonga".........I WON'T CARE ANYMORE:LOL: I love this place and it HAS cost me a fortune.........warning: there are some here that like to see our spending misery......I think it's 'cause they were all there too:hrm: :LOL:

Re: A New Moonie
 

You bet your sweet bippy it is..................I've purchased over 150 CDs from listening to The Moon and I've loved every second of it. My long suffering wife has just about given up on me. I think she's about to send me out to work again. :(

:rockband: Rock on!!!!

Re: A New Moonie
 

Thanks very much for the welcome.

Wonga is that imaginery amount of money that appears on the bottom line of your credit card statement each month ..... unfortunately (or possibly thankfully), a lot of the music here isn't that easy to find ..... found a couple I want on eBay Italy, but the babel fish translation translates my grammatically incorrect English into even worse Italiono!!!!!!

Won't be a stranger here, and even persuaded (quite easily) a work colleague to sign up as soon as he gets home later .... might be viewed as stranger by others though .... but that's nothing new! :LOL:

Re: A New Moonie
 

I might not be doing you any favours here but...........try this site. I've found LOADS of "impossible to find" music here. Various dealers around the world at various prices. Vinyl as well as CD. I've never been let down/ripped off yet.

Happy searching!!!!

Re: A New Moonie
 

701 I'll have you know ..... never been invited into Room 101 myself! Used to have a car registration of R701 .... how I got the number. Although I am not a number .............

I'm barmy as the rest of you though!

Re: A New Moonie
 

No R701 you are not a number, you're a free man!!!!!!

I'm glad you haven't been invited into Room 101...........I was SENT there by my wife for buying too many CDs..........did you check out that site I mentioned? You may be joining me in here if you did.

Re: A New Moonie
 

That was a typo Richard and we are just having some fun with some Rowan & Martin Laugh-In lines. Anyway, welcome to the moon again :D

Re: A New Moonie
 

No wife for me ..... but my two cats have been giving me funny lokks the last couple of days!!!

Haven't experienced the delights of Dream Theatre yet either ....... a good thing by the sound of it!!

I did check the site out thanks Keith .... first on my list of buys is Aries and Citizen Cain (more Genenisish than Genesis!!) ...... Aries wasn't on their list although I may have procured a source for that one already!!

Re: A New Moonie
 

701...we want information....

the prisoner is a lifetime favorite of mine!
IIRC, it first appeared around '66-67.

barmy as the rest of us eh? we shall see....we shall see...:grump:


nadina- on behalf of the indie musicians here....which i guess
would be Von and i, occasionally jack.. BLESS YOU for the
CDBABY link! thanks to derek sivers, we're at itunes, toweronline,
bestbuyonline, most of the online services.
itunes is almost impossible to break into for an indie.

Re: A New Moonie
 

ok..........yas kin knock da theater all yas want..........BUT!!! I still think they're GREAT!!! BUTHEY!!! I am a Baltomoron, Hon!!!.....and we are the Kings of Metal.............just ask Rick...tehetehetehetehe(8-D :vaxman:

Re: A New Moonie
 

hair metal that is....

funny you mention that. When keithie did his "Prisoner" post, I thought of the Iron Maiden song. Kirk thought of the TV show!:knowing:

Keithie probably thought of both:xfinger:

I'm in the middle about DT, so I get it from both sides. As Mark Knofler "sang" "sitting on the fence is a dangerous course, you could even catch a bullet from a peacekeeping force"....

Re: A New Moonie
 

Hi Richard, and Welcome!
I'll resist the temptation to morph your thread into a discussion of DT or GY!BE (gas your backside emitted) -- now I've forgotten who first said that, but I still laugh every time -- so I'll just stick to:
Hi Richard, and Welcome!

Re: A New Moonie
 

Although I referenced that just last week, I believe it's from Avian....a check back would confirm that, but I'm not looking....:deadhorse

Re: A New Moonie
 

Sign of a good solid entertaining thread...when you have to search through multiple pages to find what it's supposed to be about. Most often this involves threads that have been hijacked by King's X, but in this case I was happy to see it is a new moonie announcing his arrival. Welcome to the luna-cy! For real time madness try "white" (chatting box) or "black" (shouting box), both accessible from home page. As for Prisoner...ten points if you knew P. McGoohan was NOT brit. mossy

Re: A New Moonie
 

hiya mossy! ten MORE if you knew he was born in the US !

Rick- IRON MAIDEN!??!??! HAHAHAHAHA!
...where do you guys still find those white Nike hightops?

:-V

k

Re: A New Moonie
 

10 more if you knew he used to be a woman! (nah that's not true)...

Iron Maiden, The Number of the Beast, song Three...has some of the TV bit at the beginning...then a power drum intro...

looks like I'm going to have to do a King's X show....maybe celebrate Spaz's return ....

Re: A New Moonie
 

Numerous more if anyone remembers that he was DANGERMAN!!!!! A show that used to be on a Sunday afternoon in the good old U of K. ;)

Re: A New Moonie
 

He won't have new blood for long... or any for that matter. He'll be selling it by the pint to finance the CD purchases of the music he's found here.

Re: A New Moonie
 

And after the blood comes the HAIR :smirk:

Re: A New Moonie
 

hmmm..vax has plenty of hair....

Re: A New Moonie
 

yeah, 'you do a king's X show and he probably won't...:yougo

KW- we didn't get dangerman. we did, however get
secret agent.
the prevailing theory was the Prisoner was a continuation/sequel
to secret agent, the same character.
what's your opinion?

i'd pretty much rock out to the johnny rivers theme, find something
else to do..the plots didn't hold my interest at the time.

did the beeb show the man from u.n.c.l.e.?
much better show IMO.

k

Re: A New Moonie
 

Devo's version of Secret Agent Man is pretty funny. "Duty Now For The Future" (their second) is a great record. (anything to derail a thread):bang!:

Re: A New Moonie
 

Thanks for even more welcomes ..... will check out the real time chat and the other links when I am home long enough to do them justice!

I knew Number 6 was a New Yorker by birth and Irish by passport, neither being British, but having lived in an adjoining state to NY and having an Irish gf I'll claim an incy wincy connection to both!!!

Feel free to hijack the thread as much as you like, good to know so many old (metephorically speaking of course) are taking the time to read and welcome me!

Re: A New Moonie
 

Just wait until I do my all GY!BE show! =8^O

I don't think I extended a welcome yet, but since prog has lots of extended songs, I'll use the excuse that I was just waiting for that extended song to end before overextending myself with an extended post extending a welcome. :neener:

Re: A New Moonie
 

Hi Richard, there's plenty of Music in the Requests/Playlist for you to sample. You may like to hear the Bands Listed 1/21 as the AURAL~MOON Awards for the best 2005 releases. Personaly I can't wait to see what I don't have. I get 3 discs a month and play them alot..Prog on Brother
