Hi there

Many thanks for the notes you've posted up on the creation of your music database. I'm currently undertaking a similar project at home for my multimedia collection, music (digital, analog), films etc.

The notes have helped me out no end and also the download of the jade db but was wondering if there is a front end available at all?

As it stands to update the db you'd have to script it which unless you know the layout of the db would take some time!!

Any others notes you have knocking around in regards to implementation and design I'd really love to see as I'm sure they'd help me out no end! :)

Many thanks hope to hear from you soon

Hello,

I've seen that you used to have a Sharp EL-5030 calculator. I'm looking for the manual of this calculator and I'm wondering if you still have it available, and if you would like to trade it.

From your page about Bradley's Integral where you mentioned that you've used the Sharp EL-5030 to calculate this funny integral.

Hi Greg, Hope you remember your 14th July of 1989 stay at home and our few evenings since that time at Alain and Kerry's house at Melbourne. Under pressure of Alain who is now in FRANCE with Kerry on holidays as you probably know, I bought a laptop and I am now connected now to the net (I was probably the last of the Mohicans in that field) but that's done now after Alain's hard work to convince me I desperately needed it. He actually used it more than me when he got home last week end (they are now somewhere around the Alps or south of France). Actually, by curiosity, I marked Hervé DREANO in Google and found your site that I had seen already years ago. I'm happy to see it still exists. Hope you are well BOTH OF YOU and that we may see another time, my trips to Australia were 1991/1996/2003, so it sounds that the next one should be within a couple of year unless you decide another trip to Europe within. Cheers, Hervé

If anyone has this song One Perfect Day by the little Heros could you please email it too me....it was dedicated to me...and living in US very hard to find it...have tried doing a google search that keeps taking me to a dead end...and I don't have the band width for Utube.

Hi

Hoping you can help me. I am brand new to this and am trying to find out how to turn my vinyl into cd's. Unfortunately I don't have a magic wand and some of your "talk" is going over my head. Is it possible to get a turntable and hook up directly to computer to download then filter with something like CoolEdit Pro, then burn to CD. Is it this simple? If so, what sort of connection do I need on my turntable and what on the computer? This info would really help.

Was looking at a turntable on ebay and asked the seller what software I needed and how to do it re connections etc and he directed me to your sight as this is where he had found out.

I'm searching desperately for a website to download "One Perfect Day" by Little Heroes. Do you know how/where I can download it from

Hi,

I stumbled on your eb page after doing a search for cat renal failure-I have a lovely silver long haired tabby aged 15 who is very sick. I just love your cat page, I admire the way you've adopted so many cats and I find your descriptions made me smile.

Your description of stalking terrified me.

Great info on Godley and Creme, but one correction. It was stated that Snack Attack was released only on vinyl in the US. But that is not right. I have it on cassette. It is on Mirage records, released in 1981, catalogue # 7 90487 - 4 - Y. Is that Kevin Godley hitting those extremely low notes on Sale of the Century? Also the same guy singing Cry? If so, what a vocal range he has.

Hi Greg. Like your site.

I'm 42 and mainly interested in Heavy Rock and Metal, but my collection of MP3s spans 50s->2006. I started out listening to LPs before moving to CDs in the mid 80s. I am aware of the difference in sound between the two and was hoping to possibly hear a sample MP3 recorded from LP. Are you offering a taste? Would you happen to know of other resources for LP->MP3s. Thanks for your time.

Having just read your story on magpie families, I was surprised to read that you feed the maggies minced meat. I also have the pleasure of a visiting magpie family of 3 - Fiona, Bozo and Junior. I got talking to a lady in the supermarket about feeding magpies and she told me that minced meat can cause problems with the birds' legs (according to the vet who treated her maggies). Apparently it contains too much preservative. She said that dog food was the best to feed them as it has all the nutrients they need. She was buying the big sausage type dog food (lamb beef and veg) so I followed her lead and did the same. Like you I've also cut their hand- feeding down to twice a day as I fear the young one will not learn to fend for her/himself. I love having them around - first time for me.

I was looking for info on butcher birds. I had heard they have some nasty habits, which is quite disappointing. I guess it's the old law of the jungle, but why must it be so cruel?

This is one helluva website. I always new that Oz 78 pressings were vastly superior to the UK ones, but have seldom had access to any.

Many decades ago I owned a large collection of 78s by Joe Daniels and his Hot Shots (I took a few drum lessons from Joe in the late '40s). His first recording was of 'Sweet Sue' - several attempts and several 'takes'. I owned two of them - they had the same catalog number, but were different issues from different recordings. I remember that one had a much bigger label than the other.

Sadly many decades and moves on, I no longer have these discs - only the memories thereof. If anyone owns copies, could they please get in touch?

Dear Greg,

no comments - although it thoroughly succeeded at one of its stated goals of being amusing... I was thoroughly amused.

And TRULY impressed at your Mighty Music Collection, particularly as it concerns All Things Bonzo.

There didn't seem to be, however, a way to email you or in any other way make cnotact except through this Visitor Book.

I wonder if you might be able to help with a minor project I'm trying to do? Namely, i have acquired a new import CD of "Sir Henry at Rawlinson End," to my ENDless delight. However, it's all one giant track comprising each entire side of the album. I want to break this apart with Quicktime Pro, which can do the job, thereby separating the tracks so I can load them INDIVIDUALLY onto my iPod - thereby making me even happier.

HOWEVER... miserable Charisma Records... or any other place for that matter either... couldn't be bothered with providing the track timing for any of the songs. Would you have this available from your album collection and, if so, would you be able to take a moment and send me those times somehow? You'd make a fellow Stanshallite very happy if you could.

Trillions of Thanks in advance for any help you might provide.

Bonzishly Yours,

HOHOHO

I did a "Clusty" search for trach timings for the "Sir Henry" CD and your Bonzo album came out near the top. You looked like the only person with the info available.

PS, can't recommend "Clusty" enough as a superior search engine - one that DOESN'T keep a 28-year cookie on you, like Google does. Besides... the way it "clusters" search results into relative categories is VERY helpful

Recently read Galapagos by Kurt Jr. was impressive. If you have yet not read it, you might enjoy reading it. Liked Heinlein's Friday. Had never seen that cover for Friday until on your web site. Will visit again to find scifi authors.

was able to add your address to my favorites after an initial google image search. Ha Ha Was quite proud of my computing skills!

Good work Greg on a highly diverting, original and rather idiosyncratic site.

Spent ages sniffing around, but perversely spent most time in the 'Bad Music' section. In my UK childhood I remember Kenny Everett's annual "(S)Hit Parade". William Shatner was always well placed, but Country and Western was represented too. A propos of that, two questions :

1. " .... you've gone and done what you shouln't ought to.... you've gone and stomped on my aorta" is a line from (S)Hit Parade winner one year. Does anyone know the song-title/artist? (I don't)

2. Did the following C&W songtitles/artists really exist?

If I'd Killed You When I Wanted To, I'd be Out of Jail By Now by Reuben Darnell; She Got The Gold Mine And I Got The Shaft by Jerry Reed; She Broke My Heart, I Broke Her Jaw by Rick Stanley.

I've also recently found http://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/mp3s/ - good for mp3 from the challenged.

Anyway, musical emergency: please can I have a copy of the I Hate the Adelaide Crows song. Don't get me wrong, I haven't a specific down on the Crows, but I remember it being played on the ABC more as a lament to the corporatisation and associated trends of football. Oh and if you're inclined to share more, happy to drop off a wodge of blank CD's.

Thanks - Simon

I Looked at the article of HailStone Numbers.

There was the question about the number 10.3104 arising from the calculations on these numbers.

There is a site: http://www.cecm.sfu.ca/projects/ISC/ISCmain.html, where you can type in this number.

You will get a lot of formulas of mathematical kind.

To detect the right one we need more decimals of the number.

Yours is one of the most inspired sites I have come across. Enormously entertaining and ecclectic. I share many of your interests but your dedication, passion and obvious technical strengths leave me for dead. I hope you can keep up the good work for many years to come.

I looked for Captain Matchbox on Google. (there are several of their songs I am still trying to obtain; if unsuccsssful elsewhere I may be back with a request)

You remember me i suppose. i was just at Alain and Kerry`s house just one year ago. few days ago , Alain wrote me for the NEW YEAR and gave me your own website address. it was particularly funny to see these old pictures from the July 89 party at home and also a bit sad to realize how we got older in almost 15 years!

anyway hope that you are well,that you have also found a job and that your summer is not extremely hot like in February 97!

feel free to come back to Paris whenever you want for one of your next holidays. there will always be a good bottle of French wine waiting for you !

by the way, HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and all your family and dearest friends.

Website looks great - should be more like it. Your name came up whilst I was trying (yet again) to see if I could find any info whatsoever on an album I heard many many years ago and have been trying to get hold of in one form or another ever since - Doggerel Bank 'Silver Faces'. A lost classic it seems. And the tape I have will only hold together so much longer. After many false starts, I finally found a current link ! Would love to hear from you - may be able to help you with some other 70's vinyl that I did manage to grab at the time...

Searching for above album on AltaVista, found several references/links to you on other sites (network-lynx, mira.net) all of which were dead/out of date. I then happend to spot the Nancy Street reference on search page 3 - amazed to see we are in the same town!!

Hi,

I found your website by accident while searching for a particularly obscure cartoon tune. I must say that I am sorry you did not manage to create a truly boring website in the tradition of the usual Internet personal website, as was your stated intent. Rather, I found your attention to detail to be meticulous, and your comments to be quite funny.

Be that as it may, I wish to thank you for the four songs I downloaded. Before I found Nancy Street, I had no idea whether such celebrities as Barbara Feldon and Frank Gorschin could sing or not. Now I am entirely convinced that they cannot. Let us hope the damage to my psyche is not permanent.

Keep up the good work!

Having a Clear up of all my old records found some G & C and thought i would look at the web for more info.

What I liked most about your site, was its decency and general likeable image, inspiring esteem and desire to communicate. I have a request also. I work at a provincial radio-station, make old-music programmes. Couldn't get anywhere Fred Astaire's recording of 'Puttin' On The Ritz'. That is how I found your site, by the way. I would be very grateful if you helped me to obtain this recording.

Best regards,

Yelena

I arrived at this site through AltaVista search.

great site and a wonderfully eclectic music list.

please note, signing vizie books is not

something ones does often nonetheless,

i felt your effort was well worth the time

and of course we have a wish list . . . .

having bought mum a cd player . . .

the easy bit . . . we now need the tunes . . . .

she has a 5 song wish list of some

rather elusive vintage music form

the radio three days of the 40's & 50's

as soon as we have exhausted other efforts

you shall be hearing (ie: begging) from us.

again many thanx

mick & fiona

googled for some mp3

I liked the bit about assembling your first hi-fi system. I bought a decent stereo(Luxman,Yamaha and B&W) before i ever bought a car(just drove me mum's around). I notice you have no Bowie or Stones in your record listings,you should get into them!!!

A great site anyway.

Regards,

Markc

i looked up 10cc on Google and an image came up of them with your site mentioned.It was the album covers page. 10cc are pretty cool and were an influence on the eels and ben folds five.

Very nice page! :)

Hi Greg !

Let me say "Hello" again, visiting your site, far, far away in Australia.

My Wife ask me: "How do you find this ?"

I answer: "Friendly People you will find all over the world.Only have to do is ...to search ....."

Thats it for today,

Lots of greetings from Germany,

Gerd

My favorites bookmarks !

your site seems very interesting and informative about a wide range of matters personal to you.

i was searching for information about my copy of "List Of Prime Numbers from 1 to 10,006,721" by Derrick Norman Lehmer, 1956, on google and your site came up in my search.

Your site is great - while being upfront, honest it is also very informative - it's kept me busy reading for 4 days so far.... cant be that bad then? It's very well laid out and full of interesting info as well as odd bits of quirkyness and intrigue. How you found the time to put it all together is beyond me. Maybe with your programming skills you could put a bit of interaction based on your hobbies - games, trivia, quizzes, puzzles... (for people like me!) Well done and thanks for the connectivity.. :)

i came across this site while searching for the track "For What It's Worth - Buffalo Springfield"

Lem fans should know that next Saturday, 3/29/03, the Pacific Film Archive in Berkeley, Calif. is screening some rarely seen Lem films including Test Pilot Pirx, The Hospital of the Transfiguration, and a short directed by A. Wajda, Roly Poly.

Should be a cool evening.

Google search for dream graphic by Escher. Can you point me to it, as the location changed.

I think your site is great. I particularly like your taste in music - I am in the process of locating and downloading all of the songs I taped off the radio back in the 80's. I found some great titles in your Jukebox list.

I came across your site after a search in Yahoo (Aus.) for a song called "All Touch". I was looking for it on WinMX, but didn't know the artist (I found the artist on your site - thanks). When I have some more time I plan to go through your list and identify titles I didn't tape back in the 80's (and hence wouldn't search for otherwise).

I plan to put my list on the internet at some stage, but I'mnot big on web authoring so I'm not really sure of the best way. I'll probably just export my Access database and post it as a text file.

Anyway, keep up the good work!!!

PS I like your anti-AFL idea. We need something like that up here.

You are providing a great service for lovers of bad records...thanks.

The pride of my bad music collection is a gem I picked up for 10 cents at the Mullumbimby St Vinnie's years ago - George Hill's "Our Boys Are Over There", on ""Australian Forcesd Records". A Slim Dusty-ish dirge about our brave boys "Belting back old Charlie Cong" and how there was a bit of a "Blue on up there in Nui Dat" and that one thing "Charlie Cong" hated to see was a "Digger's old slouch hat".

Maybe John Howard will re-release it and have millions of copies dropped on Baghdad as a dire warning to Saddam.

Greg, as soon as I can get into MP3 format will send it to you.

Referred from a music obsessive friend - word of mouth, you can't beat it.

Got to your site via a google search. I've been looking at it for 10 minutes and haven't a clue what its about. Recommend you take a step back so you can see the wood from the trees.

Who said giving the world the ability to publish was a good idea?

I'm such a fan of Godley & Creme's music. And I've always thought Kevin Godley's had such a great rock & pop singing voice. Athough I've got their Images album on CD, and Ismism on LP, I do hope that all of their studio albums will be release on CD. Particularly, Goodbye Blue Sky. Because I really like the track Bits of Blue Sky which is the final track on the Images album. And I actually used to have Goodbye Blue Sky on LP when I was very young. I also hope for the future that there will be a DVD of their's to be released because I also like their video clips too. And hopefully the video clips of them singing A little piece of Heaven, 10,000 Angels and Under Your Thumb should be put on DVD aswell the video clips of them singing Golden Boy, History Mix Volume 1, Cry, An Englishman in New York and Wedding Bells. I would also like to see an extra DVD added which features their interview which I also find interesting.

I was looking on the Google website for virtually all the Godley & Creme websites. And as I found it and had a look on it, that interested me. It is also interesting to see their photo gallery because I'm interested in their current appearance.

What a Top Site ! So much to see, so much to read.

You did a great job !

Be sure, i´ll put it in my favorites.

Greatings from Germany,

Gerd

A "hot tip" from a friendly user.

I found your site via your 'Pets' page and just wanted to say how wonderful I think it is to see someone who has taken in so many beautiful stray cats and given them a real home. :)

Did a search on Feline Aids (I have an adopted ex-stray with the disease and am trying to find more information about it).

Hhhmmm, those were the days...just looking over some of the old vinyl. It would be better if my name wasn't associated with quite a few of them, oh well! Top site you've put together. Also had a look how the Opus is coming along - how do you fire up the shopping cart? Also, when you click on "Media/Owner/Genre", why does the whole page refresh? p.s. Do you care for "user" feedback, or would that spoil the whole programming experience?

Google: "Greg Keogh" completely failed...almost...it showed the skeptics site and from there was able to link to Orthogonal!

Anything you can do about this?

Good work Greg. The dry astute humour I knew at school has manifested itself in your site. Got a lot of laughs from the old school photos (even though the people were all a year ahead of me) and the music stuff was great too. In fact the whole site was very interesting. May your vw rest in peace, as mine is.

I took the link from the Schoolfriends.com site.

Stumbled on the site and bookmarked it for future reference. I can't now recall how I found it... I've liked what Ive seen on the site thus far and intend to return often. Looks to be a great resource for someone with similar tastes in music...

see above...

Hey there Greg!! I love this site.... and since I managed to (a) get onto Napster before it went belly-up, and (b) get onto Audio Galaxy before it went belly-up, I may be able to help you with some Australian MP3s. And I loved the bad music stuff.... AND I am an uneducated G+C fan, so my stay here was fab!! Keep up the good work!!

I was trying to locate the song "Falling In Love Again" - as used in (a) the Vitoria tourism commercial(s) and (b) the BBC series "Love Is a Many Splintered Thing" by entering "falling in love again.mp3 download" into Google. And you were #36 on the returned results. So there you go.

Why do male awake with an erection?

Well, Greg

Be a nice guy and answer Michael's questions about Xmas, snow & cards & Nancy & Dorothy.

With kind permission of Kurt Vonnegut from "Slaughterhouse 5" I quote :

The cattle are lowering,

The baby awakes,

But the little Lord Jesus

No crying He makes

Cheers , Slavko

really entertained by your site, was looking for a download of frank kelly, countdown to xmas, & your site manifested itself through a U.K search engine.

we are about to celebrate xmas, how come you get the better deal with the weather?, actually do your christmas cards have snow scenes on them? never thought too much about that b4, thanx for the site, would love an awnswer about the xmas cards,

see above, does "nancy" have the same connotations as in the U.K ( dorothy)?

AHAA I'm on the Gallery Page (Guy in the Middle of the "HiServ Years"). Those were the days! Great site Greg, very slick.

Word of Email.

Your Bad Music site would knock a buzzard off a shitwagon!

Superb!Many thanks for the opportunity to hear these wonders

Searching for Franz Lehar's Wolgalied(Ivan Rebroff does a Russian version)

I enjoyed your Godley and Creme page very much. -- Fellow 10cc / G&C collector and member of Minestrone list.

From a Minestone mail digest posting of yours

If you have a problem with football and the AFL then why on earth are you living in the home of asuuie rules football. Get the hell out you wanka.

Hi Greg,thanks for the cd,It's great...I'm going to send you a sample of my collection soon...Congratulations on a fun and interesting site...It's turned into one of my regular haunts...Many thanks, Neil.

www.copernic.com :a multi search engine.

Hi Greg! I came in search of Johnathan & Darlene Edwards singing "I Love Paris", which I heard last Sunday on CBC2. Since then, I've been all over your lovely site - I think the Mandelbrot set is beautiful, too. You should explain how the regions labelled A & F on the complete set are infinitely changing little different microcosms of the original cardidoid. Your site has helped me procrastinate for almost an hour - good thing too, since I'm supposed to be doing an Organizational (blech) Behaviour report. Congrats on your interesting website.

Well this is just for you to see if this damn thing works

You know
