Question about the blog

In Zwolle, Netherlands - on Splogman's computer (IE) - this blog looks like this.

(The sidebar is at the bottom of the page)

But in my browsers (IE and Firefox) it looks like this (and that is what it's supposed to look).


Anyone more having the same problem as Splogman?

Updated: According to the comments I received in this matter everything seems to be ok.
The problem is probably located very locally to Zwolle and Splogman's residence.

Popcorn

""Popcorn" is a famous early synthpop instrumental. Composer Gershon Kingsley (of Perrey and Kingsley) first recorded it for his 1969 album Music to Moog By.
Stan Free rerecorded the instrumental with his band Hot Butter in 1971, which became the first primarily electronic-based piece of music to reach the American popular music charts. The record was one of a rash of Moog synthesizer-based releases that characterized "synth-pop" of the 1960s and 1970s ..." [Quoted from Wikipedia entry]

Updated: wieL tells us about his (excellent!) blog Wiel's Time Capsule's posts with a few very nice versions. Like one by Klaus Wunderlich as part of a medley with Apache and Corn-Flakes.
And other one by James Last, and one cover by Gershon Kingsley himself, recorded on a Groovebox in 2000. Listen to these 3 tracks here.
There is also a vocal verion by Anarchic System to enjoy here.

More Thor!

'Keep the Dogs Away', 1977

Clinton McClung, one of the WFMU blog guys, has published an action-packed entry on Thor. Among the thunderin' awesome stuff (like movie clips, a great I-met-Thor-story, and then the video below...) you can actually get the complete 1977 album 'Keep the Dogs Away' into your hard drive and then into the frying pan: "Released in 1977, this album is pure glorious glam-rock confection with a slightly heavy edge of the best order. ..."
Check it out!

The Kode

Mike of FreeIndie.com tips me of The Kode, "a "Classic Video Game Band" playing music from Video Game systems of the 80's and 90's."
Man, this is really annoying music. Synth-fusion àla Yngwie Malmsteen. But, still, kind of fun in an over-the-top kind of way.
Listen here.
