    http://forums.dragonmount.com/index.php/topic,19406.0.html We have a new player murderer game up in the Organized Games thread atm and it has 2 spots left that have been open for a couple of days! if anyone wants to learn how to play now is the perfect time! as the games get bigger in 4 player increments (12, 16, 20) typically then if we have 6 players post saying they want to play Talya, who will be moding the game, can pull in any players off the wait list! So even if the 2 remaining spots fill in, if your interested make sure and post so! They are very fun and I'm sure you'll all enjoy them!

  3. Listening to 98 Rock out of Baltimore the other morning, the interviewed a group called Warp 11. These guys do songs inspired by Star Trek. As I know of at least one Trekkie in the Band, I thought I'd throw this out there for some laughs and such. How can you not laugh with titles like "Jerk My Kirk" and "Please State the Nature of the Medical Emergency" how can you not laugh? Well, enjoy, or don't. Either way, have a great day

    Welcome to this month's edition of the Hornsounder! Dear Hornsounder Reader, For some of us Summer still hasn't arrived full throttle and for others it's almost over already.

  6. Because some of our music discussion threads didn't copy over, I am restarting some of the threads again. Therefore, feel free to repost what you posted last time, or change it slightly. Ok...while I was looking at one of the threads on the Archers' boards on our off board site, it got me thinking about our favourite songs to hum and whistle along with when we hear them on the radio or CD player. So, what are your favourite songs to hum and whistle along to? One of my current favourites is Love Generation by Bob Sinclar. So, go ahead and post your favourite songs to hum and whistle along to!

    Hello players, supporters, families and friends! July has proven to be a very very silent month indeed and this reflected itself in the Competitions of the Hornsounder as well.

    So I was thinking, a lot of theme tunes become part of popular culture. Likewise, a lot of songs we know and love get adapted to the small screen. What are your favourites? Which ones do you hate? For me, one of my favourites is the "Sharpe" theme tune. Its called "Over The Hills and Far Away" and is an old English folk song which has been jazzed up a bit. Its just great for that series and its so jolly I can't help singing along. ;D

    Everybody loves films. But the music that goes with the film tends to be forgotten behind the actors and actresses, the stunts, the cash the film rolls in. So let's discuss film music then! Any favourites? Anything you don't like? Any composers you like? Personally speaking, Gladiator is one of my favourite films for music. The music is stirring, and fits the film very well. And the fact I have the CD for the film's music twice (due to a special CD that released 5 years after the film with bonus tracks) shows this. What about you?

  20. I'm only posting this after watching Maria's link to a song called on the White Tower board. Well, I thought I would continue this sort of thing here. So, what are music videos you love or hate? Which ones are cheesy? So, I will start off with 2 I hate. 1. The Hamster Song 2. The Fast Food Song There is another music video I really love, but I can't find it at the moment! Once I remember what it is called, I'll post it up here for you! This can also be the start of our new shift in posting. I'm sure we look forward to what you have to offer!

  21. As I started to write this brief biography on David Bowie, I came upon a dilema. How do you write a brief anything about an artist who has spanned 4 decades, influenced countless musicians and at times rewrote the book on what music should be? Well, I haven't been able to answer that. This is probably my 5th rewrite, to condense all of the above ideas. My original bio would have been over 2 pages long! So instead of giving you every detail of his life, I have condensed it into the highlights, or at least what I consider he highlights. David Jones was born in Brixton on January 28, 1947. At the age of 13 he started to play the Saxaphone at Bromley Technical Hi…

  25. Everyone must have some sort of device to play their music. I'd be surprised if they didn't! So, what devices (like MP3 player, CD player, stereo or msuic system) do you have? I've recently purchased the 6th generation 80Mb Black iPod Video...and loving it! The only downside is the transfer of music, which is slow...but that is probably me and my old laptop! In my room in the house I rent in London, I have my CD player, which I got in the summer of 2003. It is a Sony, but I can't remember the model number now! I'll have a look and see if I can find it! I also have some speakers connected to the CD player to make a mini sound system. It is very reliable, and I w…
