[edit] Music of spheres allusion

Thanks for updating Doremi Fasol Latido. Have you got a link or ref for the Music of the Spheres allusion? - I was unable to dig any up. My understanding is that, although the title may very well be an allusion to the Music of the Spheres, the actual words (Do, Re, Mi, etc) are taken directly from solfege/solmization. The Sound of Music merely popularised them. Secret Squïrrel 09:13, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the info re Professor Bubbles' cosmological views! He's confused two related concepts because Pythogoras didn't assign syllables to the tones of the spheres - that was done later in the 10th or 11th century. Anyway, I've always thought that Lemmy was the sane one... Secret Squïrrel 14:56, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Just a quick note to let you know that I clarified your note re the music of the spheres allusion, to make it easier for people who haven't heard of Do-Re-Mi-... to understand the origin of the words (ie why those words were chosen instead of some other solmization). Full text now reads:

Yes, I picked up on your aversion to mentioning the S of M in a Hawkwind article (quite right too) which is why I linked Do-Re-Mi to the disambig page and not the song page. I agree that there could be some more detail re Bubbles' vision - you seem to have a primary source for that, do you want to have a go at summarising what you put on my Talk page?

[edit] Excellent work

Excellent work on the GWR Records page. Bravo! Bubba hotep 13:51, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

And again thanks for the heads up on the Hawkwind:Do Not Panic TV doc. Recorded it, watched up to Lemmy's departure last night, watching rest tonight. Cheers. :) Bubba hotep 20:25, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Editing Doremi...

Thanks for your input on my talk page.

Firstly, love the HawkBox. Agree with your ideas for expansion & I'll try to give it a go but I'm time-poor so it may be a while.

RE: images, I would have thought most bands would be happy with having a few pictures on wikipedia. The problem is a) how to approach them & b) how to get the pictures up & fair-used so they don't get taken down by an overzealous editor...

On the subject of sound samples for Doremi - when I think of that album I think of "Brainstorm" Would 30 seconds cover from "Standing on the runway waiting to take off" through to the chorus?

All the best, Mike Megamanic 07:51, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] One album per article

please mate. It gets messy otherwise, and Wikipedia isn't paper :) --kingboyk 21:46, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

And there you were telling me to merge and delete articles. Drwhawkfan 18:56, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lemmy Kilmister Public Service Award

Here's an award that I was given some time back by Hammy Sarny, the "Lemmy Kilmister Public Service Award". I'm giving you this for your outstanding contributions to Lemmy material here at Wikipedia (the best online information resource). I guess you deserve a WindyHawk one too, but I wouldn't know which shops to find those in :p (is there a Dave-doll like Lemmy's? - On second thoughts don't answer that I really don't fancy a second grossing out if there is :).--Alf melmac 13:32, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
