Hello MFC !!!

[babspanky]

Many thanks to dcdeb for activating my account for me!

 

Let me introduce myself.

 

I'm quite old (mid 40's but Mika makes me feel a lot younger!) and live and work in the South East of England

 

I've been a Mika fan since February 2007. I first heard about him from Brian May's website. When I heard he had been labelled "the new Freddie" I was cynical - I've been a Queen fan since 1975, and no other "pop" act had ever come close - I prefer "classical" anyway.

 

Having acquired cable TV, I was testing the magic interactive red button to see what it did and, seeing his name on the index, decided to check him out. It was the Radio 2 Music Club performance - I was impressed by his vocal range and the variety and originality of his songs. And he made me smile....and smile...He cheered me up when I really needed it (I was ill at the time, undergoing tests and scared of the outcome - thankfully that's all behind me now).

 

I watched the half-hour set repeatedly that week, and was sad when it was taken off. So I went and bought LICM. Having enjoyed the positivity of the concert, I was not prepared for the bleakness of "Any Other World" - it made me cry! And I fell in love with "Over My Shoulder" - the vocal harmonies and the beautiful piano playing.

 

I found the MFC last November, but have only just acquired my own broadband connection, hence the delay in "joining in" until now. I'm looking forward to interacting with you all.

I have just answered you in another thread and thought I would just see if you'd posted anything else - sorry if that sounds a bit stalkerish!

I just had to comment on the R2 Music Club - that's exactly what I did, I almost had it on loop that week, it was on constantly, just brought back some happy memories!

Thanks again everyone !!!

 

And thanks, Babspanky, for putting the Music Club concert in your archive thread! I found it the other day - it brought back some good memories!

 

How did you record from the interactive service? I tried on my Telewest cable "TV Drive" box, but it didn't seem to work.
