Summarize this content to 2000 words in 6 paragraphs One album to garner multiple mentions during Chris Wilkinson’s stereophonic challenge (C8) is In Search of the Lost Chord by the Moody Blues, with Garry Brooks of Heathcote opting for the track Legend of a Mind which he describes as “Surely, the ultimate in the music travelling from left ear, to right ear, to left ear, to right ear and repeated right through the album.” Pat Guy of Kiama says, “My late husband always reckoned that House of Four Doors [Part One or Two? – Granny] from In Search of the Lost Chord was the greatest stereo sound. The creaking door (guitar I think) opened from one ear to the other on your headphones. Long time ago though.”Colin Sutton of Newtown is more of a quadraphonic guy: “I find it difficult to choose the album with the best use of stereo, between Karlheinz Stockhausen’s 1958 electronic work Kontakte, in which four loudspeakers are placed in the corners of the concert hall, and his later Helikopter-Streichquartett which records the musicians playing while each are taken aloft in their own helicopter.” Must’ve taken place in a helluva concert hall.“My sister and I have enjoyed having fun via text with the names of Olympic athletes (C8),” says Mark Morgan of Palmwoods (Qld). “Yesterday she sent me a screenshot of British 100m hurdler Cindy Sember with the caption: ‘When’s Christmas?’”“Since we are doing so well in the Olympics at skateboarding, I suggest we capitalise on this and devise a new event to be introduced in Brisbane 2032,” says Peter McNair of Newcastle. “Synchronised skateboarding, meaning two riders on the one board.” Christine Helby of Forbes now, with the latest on Georgegate (C8): “It’s impossible to have an overload of George Manojlovic. He is far and away the wittiest and most clever correspondent I have read in Column 8. And to use the words ‘manic’ and ‘inane’ is, of themselves, manic and inane. Jealousy is definitely a curse. Go for it, George – you make my day every time you comment. Keep up the good fight.”“You’re not alone, George,” writes Jim Dewar of Davistown. “I copped it years ago. All you can do is stay strong and have pun.”“George Zivkovic’s lesser mortality stems from condition known as disCol8ion,” determines Geoff Carey of Pagewood. “That feeling of dismissal and disappointment you get when one of your zingers goes unpublished.”[email protected] attachments, please.
