    Fun Mission Impossible (1966)

    The revival in 1988, I enjoyed too. Not as good, but the new characters all worked, and nice to have Peter Graves as a reassuring presence.

    Fun Mission Impossible (1966)

    Great series, one of my all time favourite shows. Preferred the later series with Leonard Nimoy, and then Lynda Day George joining the regulars, Peter Graves, Greg Morris et al. Still like the Landau and Bain episodes, but they're a little far fetched. Still good though.

    Review Talking Heads

    Wow, how could I forget this band. Brilliant! Loved all their stuff. David Byrne is a genius. Tina Weymouth and Chris Frantz and Jerry Harrison were all tremendous too.

    Review The Fixx

    From an early album, before jetting off to the States, this may have been their breakthrough track.

    Review The Fixx

    One of many Brit bands that made it big Stateside but not at home. Lead man Cy Curnin did some writing I think for Tina Turner. Boy George of Culture Club once stated his liking for The Fixx. Nine albums so far, all very enjoyable, neat modern rock.

    Review Martha and the Muffins

    Canada's finest, Martha well known for Echo Beach of course, but had so many more great songs over eight albums.

    Review R.E.M.

    Got to be one of the all time biggest bands ever. I discovered them really early on a year or two before their breakthrough album . Michael Stipe's vocal delivery was always intriguing. The quality of their work dipped a bit around the tenth album, but they ended with three top albums. Hope one...

    Review Shriekback

    An amazing track on their recent album "Without Real String or Fish". The vocal performance of Carl Marsh is staggering. There's a number of made up words, all with 8,9 or more syllables, and he doesn't put a word wrong in singing it. There's no way he could memorize these words when recording...

    This is a beautiful track about Elvis in heaven larking about with other celebs.

    Review The Waterboys

    Love this band , right from the early "Big Music" days, to the folky album of Fisherman's blues to the recent WB Yates inspired work and the most recent Johnny Cash styled work. Mike Scott is the genius behind them with a new album due out this year.

    Review Shriekback

    And this is from the early days, about '84, totally unique singing style of Barry Andrews.

    Review Shriekback

    Here's another dark little ditty about death and corpses which actually was a bit of a club land hit.

    Review Fanderson

    Actually I think the best is Captain Scarlet. The puppet technology was the best, the size proportionality of heads to body was just right and the stories were well written.

    Review Fanderson

    Of course Thunderbirds is the best , or the most popular. FAB.

    Review Fanderson

    No one has mentioned those terrific puppet shows of the 60's. Don't we all love them? Recently bought the DVD of Stingray, really enjoying it. Humanoid underwater civilization hostile to man, why not?
