The weirdest thing happened this week. a workmate posting on Facebook of all places has sparked off something I'd long forgotten. Its not TCC related but its to do with the Littlest Hobo who's show was serialised on the BBC in the mid 80's. The thing is I barely remember it, I know that there was a kid in it and a dog and maybe a van. But the most striking thing I can remember is that they had a tyre shaped gold UFO / robot. You want to know how sketchy my memory of this is, I originally thought it had the head of Crow from MST3K, but probably didn't. I do know that the kid and the dog had to keep it safe and had to keep moving hence the title. bout the same era as Mysterious Cities of Gold and the Anime Belle and Sebastian so 85 -86 then.
Found it is Benji, Zax and the Alien prince. and yes the robot is both a mix of crow and floating yellow tyre. Also that theme tune is rad as hell.
In other news it seems that Roland the bastards have forced the take down of Rebirth 303, one of the first ever 303 emulation software and such. Only reminded me of it as I have a copy and an old laptop and wondered if I could install it and make the bassline from Drake's Passionfruit in it.
It seems that the new Roland Rental thing and re issue of its classic line of hardware drum machines was the catalyst for its take down.
