Bizarre issue number one

No seriously, I won't be joining the channel, to get BTV2 to go spending a one time fee of $20.. Even on the first channel, BTV if they were to charge any amount of money to get it I would still say no.. I watch the channel about an hour a week and that is accomplished by watching five minutes here, and ten minutes there, through the week..  For those reading this, BTV2 is the sequel channel to the original on the roku streaming player.. BTV is Bizarre TV and it's a continuous streaming channel which means it has no VOD option and so for that reason a lot of people won't even try to watch the channel.. I got it when it first came on a  couple years ago.. They then offered a second channel but it never materialized as much more than a way to beg for more programming and then when they had a chance to show something it crapped out.. I'm not complaining, I was hoping it would show really weird shit, even more so than the main channel.. I like the main channel but it seems to be more for the really strange.. I like odd shit, trust me, Bizarre TV, Ultra Toxic tv, Zom-Bee tv.. Atomic tv... Plenty of shit to watch on a Friday night late night/early morning.. No doubt..


I just got done watching Sense8 on Netflix.. This is one of the best series they have on their lineup of original programming.. That and Orange is the New Black.. I hesitated watching the new season because they seem to take their time about getting a story line going.. Sense8 was the same way but by episode 8 it was really cooking good.. Same with OITNB.. They both are really worth the price of admission..  Sense8 has a fantastic sound track.. Great songs to really drive the story along.. The thing is the way it ended is it could have been just a miniseries.. I think it will be a continued story.. Orange will continue on.. Friday Night Lights is turning into a good series.. One of a very small handful that NBC has that was a hit.. Filmed by Peter Burg, he uses different camera angles and hand held cameras that can give you motion sickness if you let it.. But very interesting video works there.. Good story as well..

Finally there is this..:

The latest preview of David Gilmour latest offering Rattle That Lock..  For those who say it doesn't sound like Pink Floyd.. You are correct, this is David Gilmour, a more mature version of the man who played lead guitar for Pink Floyd.. I wasn't sure how much I cared for his On An Island album, but it is fine.. I really liked his first solo album, playing with his old bang mates Jokers Wylde then his second solo album About Face.. Truth is had he stayed as a solo artist when Roger Waters originally end the band I think he would have done fine but a lot of people might not have been.. They only did two more studio albums after Roger left..   I had wished Dave had done a better cross section of his own music on the live album/video that was released commemorating the tour.. Instead he played the On an Island in it's entirety.. Which was alright, I just wished he would have done other stuff.. But I am a fan of the odd and the Syd Barrett material that he does is right up there.. trouble is you can't hear the tortured soul, that was Syd, working on the song, it is very polished..
