Ropeadope is a collaborative community, a brand, a moving force with a life of its own that is larger than life. Founded at the close of the last century, Ropeadope has taken the path less traveled, always following the music where it wants to go. From historically significant records with celebrity names to completely unknown artists, Ropeadope has crossed boundaries and defied music business logic to create a truly unique company that continues to release great music. Ropeadope is a story of inclusion. We view the world as a place of one, where music is a unifying force connecting all of us. We accept that musicians know their art better than businessmen do. We know that this concept, this thing called Ropeadope, is larger than any of us. And so we follow wherever Ropeadope may lead. -------------------For more information on Ropeadope, visit:Ropeadope.comfacebook: @ropeadope99IG: @ropeadopeTW: @ropeadopeRopeadope on BandcampYouTube: 21Soul-------------------Music courtesy of Ropeadope:"I Can't Breathe" (feat.

Our twelfth episode focuses on the barnstorming 1972 season 9 opener Day of the Daleks in which time-travelling guerrilla fighters seek to avert a bleak Dalek-run future Earth and the Doctor and Jo find themselves caught up in a terrifying time paradox. Elsewhere we have the usual fun with the Cailleach and a quiz. We also make reference to the new 1972 Doctor Who annual which features a story (The Living Crystal) by yours truly, and the book Secret Diary of a 1970s secretary written by Sarah Shaw, formerly a production assistant to Day of the Daleks' writer Louis Marks.

In the ever changing world of the music business, labels big and small have to live by one premise: Adapt or die. Louis Marks of Ropeadope Records has adapted, and then some. Overcoming a rough era in the business with the decline of physical sales, the increase in pirated music and the move to streaming […] The post 362 – Louis Marks (Ropeadope Records): David VS Goliath appeared first on Drummer's Resource: Conversations with the world's greatest drummers and music industry pros..
"Two words, gentlemen: Hubba hubba" Col, Daniel, and Steven are joined by Pete, a mysterious human from the 21st-century, to 'time-jump' back into the 20th century so as to discuss a high-ranking Classic Doctor Who episode; DAY OF THE DALEKS! Another instance of Doctor Who being ahead of its time, this time-y wime-y plot by Louis Marks has since been cribbed by the likes of The Terminator and is inspired itself by the work of no less a sci-fi great than Ray Bradbury. Featuring the return of the Daleks for the first time in five years and the first time in colour, sweet dorks are encouraged to seek out the 2011 special edition of DAY OF THE DALEKS to appreciate the intent if not the budget of the original production (though the original remains a great deal of fun!). Our thanks again go to Chris Achilleos for his kind permission for the use of his cover for the Target novelisation of DAY OF THE DALEKS, written by Terrance Dicks. © all original music copyright New To Who 2016 and 2017 Special thanks to Sarah Tout at Voice Box Media Training for her patience and expertise.

There were little scarf bits everywhere. It was a disaster to clean. This week Kiyan and Dylan put forward their life’s work in harnessing the power of podcasting.

Dope: adjective, informal: very good. This week Kiyan and Dylan explain the triumphant return and subsequent loss of the Daleks. They tried to exterminate any tangents before they got too big, but some of them were too powerful. Day of the Daleks aired in January of 1972 and was written by Louis Marks.

This month, Kyle and Erik talk about one of the go-to utility writers during the 1960s and '70s, Louis Marks, who has a very impressive career outside of Doctor Who and who wrote "Planet of Giants," "Day of the Daleks," "Planet of the Evil," and "The Masque of Mandragora" between 1964 and 1976. The fellas talk about the writer's uncanny ability to have a great first episode but an abysmal fourth one. Strange, strange, strange. Also, please leave us a review on iTunes and you could win two signed by author Paul Cornell!
