Which has to make what Leia said before that more like Mission2des Tin Knee.

I agree, Sally, they are well worth the download. My own fave is It's A Sin, closely followed by Brothers in Arms. Makes me wish I had the right kind of equipment on my own PC right now. Video capture is something I'm looking into for the future. If the DVD versions of B7 are ever released, it would be well worth the effort of creating my own compilations. I'd recommend anyone to try them out, if they have Realplayer (an easy download if not.) If you were making your own songvid, what music and clips would you include? Mel

Re: [B7L] language virus music SF intersection

Iain C quoted Caliban >>The red plague rid you For learning me your language! And 'language is a virus from outer space' was inspired by the red plague, radioactive virus B-23, in 'Cities of the red night' by Burroughs, and the idealistic rebel leader in that is called Noah Blake. You see it all makes perfect sense.

Iain W quoted Magazine >>the truth's in drugs from Outer Space And who was it who sang (inspired by William Burroughs) that 'Language is a virus from outer space'? Because that neatly encapsulates every thread on the list this week into one meaningless but strangely catchy phrase.

Ahem. The latter part of that statement is a load of bollocks, or at least is accurate in the sense that I presume from context you did *not* mean.>> <snip the rest of the message, including a series of hilarious comments that indeed make my above comment look very genital.> "And for my next trick, I shall swallow my other foot." Of course English has drawn heavily from numerous languages over the centuries, which is one reason why it has prospered. It is still doing it. I really am slipping... What I believe I was thinking, was that today English is more the donor of influences to other languages and cultures than the receiver. English is not the world language yet, but in areas like international trade it is quickly become just the thing. Whether it's items of popular culture or science, more is coming out of the English-speaking world than going in, at least in my perception, which I admit is not terribly well-informed. But I would say that the English-speaking countries are today far less dependant on translations of another cultures' texts and have less *need* to draw on foreign influences than many other countries (and I am not suggesting that the cultures of all English-speaking countries are homogenous). Do correct me if I am wrong. This I was I think my attempt to rationalise Kathryn's comment that lot of native English speakers don't comprehend the untranslatability of puns and the idioms. Bearing in mind that misconceptions about translation and blindness to one's own linguistic idiosyncrasies are a fact of life in just about everywhere, I still find it a hard notion to swallow. Almost as hard as this foot (damn, should've washed me feet first...) Kai

What about Orac? Apart from a cloth handkerchief/beach towel on top to prevent sand getting into its innards & to muffle its protests about (not) wanting to learn to swim?
