Brent Spiner

[Jack Scorpion]

...is a golden era music fan. I bought this CD long ago, but I thought I'd mention it to anyone here who happened to be a Trekkie (of the Next Generation age) as well as a Lounger:

Brent Spiner - Ol' Yellow Eyes is Back

(Brent Spiner played Data, the android, on Star Trek: The Next Generation.)

Actually, it ain't too bad at all.

 

[Maj.Nick Danger]

It's gotta be better than the previous generation of Star Trek singers!

Remember those horrendously awful albums by Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner?? :eusa_doh:
Looks like Mr. Data has good taste in music.

You'll want to hang onto this one (or start making bootleg copies of it!) I just checked for availability on Amazon...only used copies starting at $75!! [huh]

 

[mysterygal]

that's a bit of an ouch to the pocket book!
I grew up on the old Star Trek, though I like the new one's better...William Shatner had always come across as comical to me

A Unique Performance . . .

Remember those horrendously awful albums by Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner??

It's "The Legend of Bilbo Baggins" by Leonard Nimoy . . . I laughed . . . I cried . . . I laughed till I cried ! ! !

Leo Nemoy...good god...that's all I have to say about that.

I wouldn't mind hearing Data singing some standards though, if anyone is willing to host a sample.

Cheers

And to think that Nimoy played Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof on stage! lol

Mr. Spiner looked good in a fedora in "The Aviator." I'll give him that.

 

[Jack Scorpion]

Whoa. Prices did go up a bit from the 12 dollars I spent 4 years ago.

Well, here are a couple songs from the CD. However, my technology in the matters of music ripping are a little behind the times, so I only have the songs in wma format at the moment. (Windows Media Audio). So, if you have a Mac, you might not be able to partake.


Brent Spiner - The Very Thought of You
Brent Spiner - Time After Time
Brent Spiner (And the "Sun Spots") - It's a Sin to Tell a Lie

...is a golden era music fan.

Here in L.A., he (and several other cast members) used to come to The Derby nightclub to watch swing bands play.

A brief synopsis of Mr. Nimoy's vocal stylings.

Can be found here. Gotta give the guy credit for trying though.

Not bad really! Better than the first generation. Sounds a little like Johnny Mathis.

 

[Johnnysan]

Not half bad...

Sitting here with three fingers of Cabin Still on ice listening to the offerings of Jack Scorpion and Mr. Spiner. Not half bad and improving as the nightly libation disappeared. But then, friends...but then...the dulcet tones of Patrick Stewart reciting prose in the midst of "It's a Sin to Tell a Lie." Now, THAT is some serious comedy - even if it was unintended!

My thanks to you , Jack for capping off my evening in such grand fashion. :cheers1:

 

[Absinthe_1900]

Shatner.............. Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds.

End of story.lol

 

[farnham54]

Hey! These aren't too bad! He's actually a pretty good singer--Definatley has a 'voice'--not nessecarily a GOOD voice (not bad, either) but rather distinct, which I think is as important to a crooner as being "in key".

Thanks for posting those!

Cheers
Craig

 

[Jack Scorpion]

Definitely, Patrick Stewart narrating It's a Sin to Tell a Lie brings an amused smile to the lips. But then again so does the background stylings of Jorde, Worf and Diana.

Yah, at times I've actually listened to this album for reasons beyond novelty. Everyone is very welcome.

I worked on the show from season 3-7. I have a couple of memories of Brent off in the far corner of the stage playing guitar and singing. He wasn't trying to entertain anyone. He was practicing a song. I remember thinking, "I didn't know he could play".

It is funny....the only real conversation I remember having with Brent was him telling me that he really didn't care for science fiction.

I wish I had been more interested in the golden era then. We would have had more to talk about.

He was one very happy Lockheed executive!
