Well, it was on CD and has four discs and is called <em>Zaireeka</em>. It's up to the listener how many of the discs they play at once and if they choose to play them in and out of phase. A friend who's into his Flaming Lips has a copy. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1939#post-20319 Sun, 26 Dec 2010 22:46:59 +0000 wee folding bike 20319@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Part of he Nantucket Sleigh ride tune was used for Weekend World on the telly long ago. </p> <p>I knew it was a current affairs show but I had to look up the title. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1939#post-20317 Sun, 26 Dec 2010 21:52:47 +0000 gembo 20317@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I was given a very nice copy of Moby-Dick by Hermann Melville. A most excellent book. My bike stuff may come in EBC sale but there is an interesting philosophical choice being offered to me and five others I will have more info in the pub.</p> <p>In Moby-Dick the harpooning of the whale from the small boat and the subsequent pulling along of the boat by the whale was known as a Nantucket Sleigh Ride. THe soft rock band Mountain released a song called Nantucket Sleigh Ride. I understand [tho can't be bothered to check exact detail] Mountain brought out a triple album and one of the discs (vinyl obviously, but both sides of the LP) was one song. Continuing in the not proven vein another soft rock band The Flaming Lips allegedly produced an album that had to be played simultaneously on<br /> three turntables for the complete effect [something more than quadrophonic] </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1939#post-20315 Sun, 26 Dec 2010 19:56:12 +0000 steveo 20315@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Got my saddle bag, purely because I ordered it and collected the relevant funds. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1939#post-20313 Sun, 26 Dec 2010 19:03:26 +0000 ruggtomcat 20313@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>oooh anth, nice! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1939#post-20312 Sun, 26 Dec 2010 19:02:20 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 20312@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Cotic X Frameset - Woo hoo!</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/blackpuddinonnabike/5292677700/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5088/5292677700_0e7f6f0f58.jpg"></a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1939#post-20311 Sun, 26 Dec 2010 16:04:16 +0000 nearefare 20311@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>one nice brooks saddle :) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1939#post-20310 Sun, 26 Dec 2010 15:33:22 +0000 Cyclingmollie 20310@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I got a £50 voucher for the Bike Co-op. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1939#post-20309 Sun, 26 Dec 2010 15:14:45 +0000 Saskia 20309@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I got <code><a href="http://www.earbags.com">earbags</a></code> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1939#post-20306 Sun, 26 Dec 2010 13:51:38 +0000 ruggtomcat 20306@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hhand made felt and funfur bright orange winter waistcoat with scotchlite reflective trim.
