Love Radiohead šš»
You could have used the original audiobook read by Douglas Adams. Also the movie version of Marvin is awful and nothing like the author intended. A real shame
I guess you aren’t aware that Douglas Adams wrote the screenplay of the film…
@@kivimik I am aware that he had input but the film wasn’t even fully greenlit when he died. I also know that the filmmakers made creative changes after DA died and one of thise was butchering Marvin from the dilapidated steel figure to a sleek, fat white thing that doesn’t match any description in the original novels. They even changed his eye colour ffs.
Did you know that paul mccartney died in 1966 and was replaced by William Campbell?
It’s a good job they bumped off that untalented hack and brought in a multi-instrumentalist of unquestionable genius. George must’ve hated that though, they get in an interloper and they turn out to be the greatest songwriter ever. Not only that, they take a larger part of the royalties than George. I wonder why John sang that the only good thing he did was yesterday instead of “you liar, you’re an impostor why are you taking my money away from me” or why Klein didn’t use it as a guaranteed win in the court case.
Yes
Sick
I love Hitchhiker’s Guide but i really don’t like Radiohead
Excellent topic for a video

Need the original Marvin, voiced by Stephen Moore.
I had the audio version of H2G2 books read by Moore on cassette my brother and I wore that thing out. RIP original Kevin’s dad.
Somewhere in my parentsā house is my set of off-air stereo recordings on cassette tape from the original BBC radio broadcasts.
The BBC TV series with (almost all) the original cast is still in the Apple iTunes store.
ā@@chrishb7074I have the original radio recordings as mp3s on my computer.
Im going to change my Alexa’s name to ok computer now š
I guess your experience may differ from mine, I changed mine to “computer” as soon as you could and it;s brilliant, unfortunately as a Trekie my poor alexa gets awoken all the time.
I’m also convinced that the solo in Climbing Up the Walls nods its head to the BBC TV series theme music. When I heard that song, it tickled my memory banks until I finally placed the resemblance. It’s that synth ‘bend’ in TV theme. It plays throughout, but you hear it most clearly at the very end of the theme music.
Did you know that Weezerās album OK Human is a reference to Radiohead?
Recordings are not music.
Fitting, since Douglas Adams put so many rock music references into the books, like the ship that flies into a sun as the climax of a Pink Floyd-like bandās show, or the fact that a famous musician is ādeadā for a year as a tax exile as so many British rock stars had to live abroad for most of a year to avoid the ridiculously high taxes the UK was asking for.
Hot Black Desiato.
āNow I lay me down to sleep,
Try to count electric sheep,
Sweet dream wishes you can keep,
How I hate the night.ā
Amazing, I have both the album and the book but never combined the two! Thanks.
This isnāt mumbo jumbo
Yes. I did know that.
I have the original radio series stored on my computer.
ok
The real Marvin is the boxy original from BBC circa 1979/80
Adams – genius, radiohead – mediocre.
