Spooky Be-bop recording session
I don't believe in God or ghosts....
BUT....
Recording session in the 1980's on a 4 track Portastudio.
We were recording a Charlie Parker tune called Billie's Bounce.
Track 1) Simmons Drum kit. Those hexagonal things popular in the 80's.
Track 2) Bass guitar.
Track 3) Rhythm guitar.
Before recording the final track we rewound the tape and turned up the speakers to listen to the song as it was recorded so far.
We looked at each other in total terror.
We both heard the same thing, at the same time.
There was someone singing on the track.
We hadn't recorded any singing. It was a gruff male voice singing scat style (Doobdoobie dobie dooo wop dayyyy! like on the Fast Show Jazz club sketch)
It was in tune, in time and it even sounded good.
We checked the recording the next day and it was gone.
Scared us shitless.

Sport
Golf
They knocked down our local 500+ year old castle to build a golf course in the 1890s.
I still hold a grudge.
Soccer.
I am relieved when England get knocked out of soccer tournaments.
All Olympic sports.
(Except the Louge)
Cricket.
A waste of radio bandwidth - why don't they get their jock straps off Long wave.
Basketball
More sheep dog trials on TV would be great though. Now theres a sport for you.

dance music
DJs - Why are there so many people that claim to be DJs? The world is full of them.
The question "When is/was your next/last paid engagement" shows them to be the self deluding liars that they are.
They fail to make the grade even as bullshitters.

Pretentious Banana
In the 70's I saw a "theatre group"
Five people walked around the stage for twenty minutes saying "Andante Cantabile" (This is a musical term meaning at a sweet walking speed.)
On stage right was sat a woman, sewing zips into banana skins.
I paid to see this. 25p. A rip off.
