The adventures

Postby lyrical » Sun Apr 22, 2007 11:34 am

Does anyone still remember the adventures? They have quite a signature tone. Not very famous but they were definitely amazing.
btw, does anyone have an mp3 of their video version of "send my heart"? I have the studio version but I find the video one much better.

Sadly, while they are 200% more awesome than georgie thought, they are only 4/5ths as awesomey as moni's testament. 'Cuz "The Adventures" is just the bowdlerized U.S. version of "Theodore & Friends." But it's got, like, twice the awesomeness of the other albums, so I'm all for counting it as two!

(But seriously, "Another Silent Day" is really super awesome.)

eight6, [:D] scanned your barcode today with our barcode reader...you checked out [;)], however on line 10 it says you don't totally hate Terry Hall [:D]. However, seems you are low on nut sacks. [^]...what is with that UPC code?

The Adventures is on my top 20 list of favorite bands. 12" singles are must have in my book. Theodore & Friends seemed hard to get on ebay, and was going pretty high.

Love the track "Tristesse En Vitesse"...which was only on the B side of the 12" "Feel the Raindrops"

TIP: don't depend on discogs 100% since they do not list everything by an artist [8D]

I'm glad.

I'll have change line 10 so it clearly indicates my absolute abhorrence of all of Mr. Hall's work.

I thought they would be a better seller here...I guess some just like that Ken doll look.

I thought it would facilitate the inevitable "reporting eight6 to the Mods" process. You'd have to check with them to see if the barcode experiment has been successful.

<a href="http://www.zshare.net/audio/adventures-the-raining-all-over-the-world-mp3.html" target="blank">Raining All Over the World</a>

This song is one of the tracks, although this file is actually from a CD single, courtesy of the late great torchomatic.com.

[i]Lions and Tigers and Bears[/i] looks to be available at MusicStack. Pricey, too.

Raining All Over The World was feted as the big hit single at the time, with Radio One putting it on their A-list and Capital Radio doing similiar. The outcome of all this? One week in the chart at 68.. [xx(]

Ye I did. Youtube had a video of send my heart but the mp3 turned out jittery. I was wondering if anyone has a better quality video of it.

I know you are...but I wasn't. It actually came about because of the whiner/crybabies who can't stand to have their positions challenged, and run to report me to a Mod or MikeP.

In fact, if you go here,

http://www.upcdatabase.com/itemform.asp

and type in my code (086086860868) it should tell you that I own the UPC code. (At least it used to)
