We watched that tonight at 6:00pm. Pretty fun. Me and the 11 year old watched it. I had it cranked up pretty loud on the surround sound. Wife said it was shaking the whole house. Sounded nice. The 6 year old laid down on the couch right in front of the TV and got to move #3 before she fell asleep! /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif She had a tough day at kindergarten. Two extra recesses and a big snack at after school care. The rest of us enjoyed it.

Am envious on the surround setup. Mine is going in the basement and since the basement is not finished yet, mine isn't setup.

I've got an old (1978) set of Electro Voice "Interface D" speakers that will put out "an incredible 106 db long-term sound pressure level at 28 Hz" I have those setup in conjunction with my Klipsch Lascalla speakers which give a terrific punch to the chest (while the EV's shake the foundation) They compliment each other very well as each strong point takes care of the others weaker point.

Sadly, all this (currently unhooked) vibrational terror and floor shaking thunder currently sits there looking at me wondering when the heck we're going to finish basement. I think the wife is actually slowing down the basement as I think she gets perverse satisfaction out of seeing all my toys unhooked....guess it keeps me working & not sitting there enjoying it. Keeping it unhooked has the added benefit of NOT vibrating her china inside the cabinet and breaking it.

I see the BMG and hear the sound over the tv speaker and simply DROOL at what it would sound like coming out of a big surround system.

Our system is a little one that we won at a church raffle. It shakes the whole house /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif I can only imagine what a really nice, quality system would do to our walls and windows! /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

That sub-woofer really makes the difference. Unbelievable.

Well I saw part of the show Saturday night on the bedroom tv and was intrigued enough to watch the whole thing Sunday night with the surround sound. Very interesting. The daughter (14) watched a little bit but couldn't get past the blue guys. Wife liked it and the little guy (2) was fascinated, when he wasn't running around getting into mischief.

My favorite part was Venus Hum. There's just something about a girl in a neon dress made out of hula hoops. No, not really, but she had a heck of a voice.

You're right, I wouldn't know how to describe them except by saying that the show was very unique and entertaining.

Interestingly enough, I thought the Venus Hum part was the best part of the show. Took me watching the show again to notice her dress .. blinking? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif along with the rest of the show.

Not only could she sing (a song I never liked much until this version) but when the band cut loose with all the drums, lights, strobes, effects... /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Yes, she(Annette Strean) had a heck of a set of pipes. Gave me the goose bumps. I also like the Blondie version of that tune sung by Deborah Harry.

Here's the lyrics:

<font color="blue"> Ooh, its so good, its so good, its good, its so good
Ooh, Im in love, Im in love, Im love, Im in love
Ooh, I feel love, I feel love, I feel love, I feel love
I feel love
I feel love
I feel love
I feel
Ooh, I feel, I feel, I feel, I feel
Ooh, you and me, you and me, you and me
Ooh, I feel love, I feel love, I feel love, I feel love
I feel love
I feel love
I feel
Ooh, its so good, its so good, its good, its so good
Ooh, Im in love, Im in love, Im love, Im in love
Ooh, I feel love, I feel love, I feel love, I feel love
I feel love
I feel love
I feel love
I feel

I think that song is about a person and their tractor! /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
