That reminds me more of The Doors 'This is the end'

Martin @port perran , back in the early 70s I didn't really take to Krautrock but was aware of some of the bands. About 15 years ago an old school chum gave me a second bite of the cherry, I rather liked this band Guru Guru, here they are with "Space Baby"...


Sort of Gong meets Man. Mick @Newportnobby , the Can was OK-ish!

Tim

PS the Kokoroko was rather pleasant.

Not for me I'm afraid.
I was into Kraut Rock about 50 odd years ago with the likes of Can, Amon Duul, Faust and a few others but for me it very much hasn't weathered well.
It's a thumbs down for me.

I haven't a clue about the lyrics but I really like the overall sound of this track from 'Tago Mago' (I have the double album on vinyl)

Just tried to get tickets to see Sarah Millican in Denver in October and it's sold out  :o
The cheapest tickets on the re-sale sites are $350 and up !!!!!

She has gigs all over the US and tickets are still available everywhere else from as low as $30.

What is going on?

Are there a lot of Geordies in Colorado that I've not met, or is it something more sinister?

Can @Bealman  offer an explanation?

Regards,

John P

Quote from: Steven B on June 13, 2025, 09:01:54 AMDoes the laptop have Bluetooth - if so you should be able to do the file transfer that way.

Yes, yes, yes!! After the expenditure of a good deal of blood, sweat and tears, I've managed to transfer some photos from my phone to my laptop via Bluetooth. The system works. It is slow, but I can live with that. Thank you Steven.

Quote from: Newportnobby on June 13, 2025, 12:15:01 PMAnything I don't want to lose is saved to an SD card in my phone so, in an emergency e.g. can't connect by cable, I can always take the SD card out and put it in my laptop (with adaptor, of course)

In an ideal world I would do the same but unfortunately my phone doesn't take an SD card. (Free hand-me-down Google Pixel from my stepson, can't complain...) However, Mrs P's Samsung does have an SD card and she is going to move everything across to it, then, as you say, plug it directly into the 'pooter.

Thanks for all the other ingenious solutions, but I've found something that works now so I'll stick with what I know.

Cheers,

Chris
