I may have the dates wrong - I'm looking for the non GW based stuff that Citadel used to cast - usually one piece complete with base (sometimes square, sometimes oval depending on the model, all metal and no plastic to slot into)
From memory they came in a translucent bag with a blue cardboard piece and staple up top, not the foam backed GW stuff.

Edit: These were all generic minis like wood elves, ghouls, pirates, the occasional space stuff etc.

All good Yaffle - I edited my previous post because I found out I was confusing Citadel with Inquisition minis as the store sold heaps of both. Turns out I recognise a lot of the ones I had as a kid. Thanks for the help!

Snowglobe of Doom: Mar 30, 2012; sucks to be right

I might as well post my request in this thread as well: the photo of Philovirus's house stuffed full of unsellable Fiesta Cat plushies

Snowglobe of Doom posted:

The original 2004 production model looked even shittier because it had a weird dog-like muzzle:

The goon who was running the project sent off a deposit for [x] amount of units to the toy factory then opened up a SA thread taking orders but because it looked so lovely they didn't get the minimum number of orders needed to make it a going concern and in the end they decided to refund everyone's deposits. This took so long that Lowtax closed the thread and permabanned them.

The punchline was that they'd left everything so late that they couldn't get their initial deposit back so three years later the toy factory actually sent them 500 lovely unsellable fiesta cat dolls. Apparently someone posted a photo of hundreds of these dolls crammed into their back room but I've never been able to track it down.

The wineglass on the left came with the house, and I love it. I've broken two, and I want to buy more, but it's vintage. 5 1/4" high, hollow stem, and the grape design is pressed glass, not cut glass.

The tumbler on the right has a story. On our honeymoon in 1981, we dropped by the first Dansk outlet we'd ever seen. It had these plastic tumblers 9cm/3.5in high. They came in one of two colors, a deep blue-purple or clear. You can see that they have facets pressed into them. We went back to that outlet about once a year, and we bought more and more. Then Dansk stopped carrying them/making them. What with time passing, we have only one that's still usable. Can anybody figure out the search terms to find it?

Thank you, thank you.

Wineglasses:
Here are 4 for $50 shipped: https://www.ebay.com/itm/2556309923...ABk9SR4ynrbeyYQ
Here's 5 on etsy for $85 (lol): https://www.etsy.com/listing/125998..._search_click=1
5 for $45+ (2 match yours; 3 have other fruit): https://www.etsy.com/listing/892570..._search_click=1
I seem to see a bunch more for sale on ebay, but located in the UK oddly enough (for some serious $). They seem to pop up periodically in the US...
I can look through my antique glass pattern books for more info later.
(Also I recall passing on a set of hollow stem etched wine glasses that my gf pointed out while we were thrifting for glassware recently....sure hope it wasn't these lol) -> e: I'll check my Savers again for you this week

Funky See Funky Do: Aug 20, 2013; STILL TRYING HARD

Some of you may remember about a year ago or something I was trying to find the name of this hip-hop album I had around the early 2000s that I could remember nothing but the vaguest poo poo about.

Well I just jolted up in bed when out of nowhere some lyrics from one of the songs popped into my head. I tried googling it but it doesn't throw up anything.

It goes sort of like "something something something I am Aziz (the s e n s e) (the s e n s e)"

I'm not sure the Aziz part. It might be Ali or not even a name but that's what it sounds like it my head.

E: THE WISEGUYS The Antidote.

No wonder nobody could find them. They're not east coast at all. They're British!

Those lyrics I misremembered were from "Who the hell are you?" and they went:

[Chorus]
Who the hell are you?
I am ID
Da S E N S E da S E N S E
(repeat x3)
Who the hell are you, who the hell are you
I am ID

I can�t remember where I heard this, but the other day I found a playlist featuring Too Short�s �The Ghetto� from the early 90�s rap scene. I always thought I just made up that because my brother had it on a mix-tape cassette, and I even remembered the lyrics to half the song.

This led to my current whale: I know my brother�s mix tape had a song that I swear had (what sounded exactly like) Louis Farrakhan speaking lyrics specifically saying:

� N****s die�
�N****s watch�other n****s die�

There was a lot more of what sounded like a �let�s get real�-type speech about black-on-black violence from Farrakhan, but I can�t remember the song or music or message. I just remember those two (out of similar) spoken lines and that it was early 90�s gangsta rap. I don�t know if Too Short had anything to do with it, but it was with �The Ghetto� and �Don�t Fight tha Feelin� (which I do know the whole lyrics of and can spit on-demand as a 48 year old white dude :agesilaus:

God damnit this is a huge L for the thread not getting this. Yes you had country of origin wrong but you had a lot of stuff right, hell you even mentioned the guy's flat cap. I should've got this. That was a hit album.

I guess the thing is Touch� was sort of not marketed as hip hop - his hits ooh la la and start the commotion weren't rap tracks but more DJ Shadow/Avalanches/Fatboy Slim type cut n paste sample joints. The album did have rap features across it though. drat.

Thanks; it very well could be, but a) I graduated high school in �93 and I remember listening to this in my brother�s Ford Probe, so it would have been before �95, and b) I�ve never seen or heard of Panther.

Fake edit: saw you said soundtrack specifically, so I�ll def give it a listen! I would put money on (my flawed memory) it being Farrakhan speaking, though-mainly the words + cadence of the speech 🤨.

You actually had the answer, its The Ghetto by Too $hort but apparently only on the extended cassette version (which I guess is what your brother had) https://youtu.be/gKYsZBFwIhM
Skip to 5 mins to hear the extra bit you're looking for.

From wikipedia:
"On the cassette version of the album, "The Ghetto" is extended to 5:58, which features a segment of one of the Last Poets' speeches "Die N***a". After Too Short's 4th verse, he says "For all you brothas runnin' around here usin' that "n-word", lets the original rappers kick the last verse", for which then the segment comes in. This part is omitted on compact disc, but can be found on the 12 inch single"

Can also hear the original speech/poem/rap on YouTube.

That is awesome, man! I can see why it wouldn�t have that version on Apple Music, but that�s honestly a shame. Basically censoring a black dude talking straight about some of his own community�s problems in his own community�s vernacular. I hope it�s just like a weird licensing issue and not �we�re scared of an artist using the n-word� like it was propaganda from Stormfront or something automated�which would pretty much wipe out all gangsta rap anyway I guess 🤔.

Probably right on the licensing thing I reckon or maybe early 90s moral panic by the time they came to do the cd release. Apple have the original album it was sampled from, so can't be too scared of the content. https://music.apple.com/us/album/right-on-original-soundtrack/1393870359

It was not uncommon for cassette versions to have extended/alternate/remixed contents, even when all formats came out at once, in the same way extended versions populated 12" singles and so on. My guess is the extended version is here to even out the sides, not because of a concern about the contents. Compare the LP/CD/cassette versions of MC Hammer's Too Legit to Quit or The Shamen's Boss Drum, for example, for even more wrinkles of this sort, all from the early 90s when concurrent format releases happened.

Even growing up in that period, I was unaware of this.

Hearing �Eddie Murphy: Raw� was done in secret at sleepovers, with the sound turned down low as to not let all our folks know we were rebelling. �Don�t Fight tha Feelin�� would have gotten us drawn and quartered, I�m sure.

My wife does belly dance as a hobby, and she's looking for an isolated music track of this video without the background noise.
The video is, somewhat unhelpfully, merely titled "Russian Gypsy Dance".

The main theme that kicks in at 1:40 is something I've heard a thousand times but don't know the title of.

So we'd be very grateful for
a) the general title of the song
and even more grateful for
b) a link to the exact arrangement of the song. We'll gladly buy the CD or MP3, but a YouTube link will do just as nicely.

UPDATE:
Comments are disabled in the video, but I googled the performer's name and found out they're running a dance school here in Germany.
I dropped them a request for the song title via the contact form on their homepage, and they told me they don't know the title either, since they were given the MP3 by a friend years ago.

You�re welcome! Everything after that album is more of the same. �Silence� with Sarah McLachlan was a big hit you�ve probably heard.

It think it was in a pretty wooded lot which is what I think made it really stand out. Maybe not pure midcentury modern but that weird place where it intersected with organic architecture. Nice place

Falling Water? I dunno architecture but I'm pretty sure the guy lived there and it's in nature

I think this might be the third catalog I've brought up:

I used to have a pair of catalogs in the 90s from Books Nippan. I want to say a 1994 edition and maybe a 1993 or 1995 one, or a slightly different version of the 1994 catalog. They were mostly anime titles and related materials you could buy through them. I used to go through them all the time. Several years later I left them somewhere and I know they're long gone, but I wished I could go back through them.

As it stands, all I still have that I can find is a fold-out pamphlet of Ultraman/Anime VHS tapes from that time that somehow I managed not to lose. It was too big to have ever been a VHS pack-in, so I'm fairly certain it came with that.

Right Stuf catalogs seem far easier to find than the BN ones.

"More like Frank Lloyd WRONG."

Milo and POTUS: Sep 3, 2017; I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Hey, I found it. It was Manitoga but Russel Wright. I knew it wasn't Frank at least
