New Mellotron Documentary?

2008-10-07 by doctorwho8@aol.com

I saw this clip of Mike Pinder playing his Mellotron samples for a new documentary being recorded as we speak. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVxX_ooPWSg

Oh wow...I'll say it is!

I wonder whoever is doing the work on this project needs a off-line editor or something. I have 'Final Cut Studio #2; (And I'm not afraid to use it.) In fact, I'm looking on maybe getting a Mackie 1640 mixer to use with 'Soundtrack Pro #2. ;) I (Still) just have to finish a few projects myself first....

Anyway, I sort of agree a little with what 'bunab' had put on the comment page. How are the rest of the group (Justin, Graeme, Ray and Lodge), getting on in years? I have seen what's left of the group from time to time mentioned when they are on tour at the San Manuel Indian Reservation out this way.... (quizzical look.)

Looks like "making of footage". Nice audio
The wife wants all of the recordings all of those bits were on.
I don't know the titles.

Yeah, but look at the good side... they're looped! Mike can do lots of pitch dives, as described by Justin Heyward as follows. "Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnng. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyonnnnnnggggggggg. It was all rather groovy, I think (therefore I am, I think...) YYYEeeeeooowwwoooooowuuunnnnggggg.

Mike Pinder looks just about as old and worn out as John McCain did
last night. The last time I heard someone say "my friend" that often,
I was talking to a used car salesman. I'm not buying any of it.

Quick someone report this political shit to the administrator!

"I'm afraid you're going to have to move along, sir."

My wife was so sick of it that 15 minutes into the debate, every time
she heard the phrase uttered, her reply was, "fuck you".
Quite the little lady, ain't she?

It was pretty boring; no blood. After one question, I turned on Andrew Zimmern to see what kind of interesting vittles he was ingesting.

No, it was the Spain show with the bull testicles, calf brains, giant barnicles, some kind of animal tail, etc. But there were some snails in there too. I missed the Paris show, which followed the Spain show, because it was past my bedtime (according to my wife).
