I want jenever, and fernet branca too. Talkign of Emska and Booze I still have a bottle of Suze for her which I may claim as mine own as it remains unclaimed since I last went to belgium.

I am trying to ferret out Emsk next week.
Oh! I got the funniest email ever! Cowboy Jim wanting advice on pedals - he wanted to know "what is the pedal that makes that sound at the end of Hung With Joy" because he wants one. Ha ha ha ha, I told him that is 7 different pedals all going at once. Silly boy.
― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 8 May 2008 09:54 (sixteen years ago) link
He'll get thrown out of G00blar for talk like that.
― Ed, Thursday, 8 May 2008 09:56 (sixteen years ago) link
That sounds dirty!
― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 8 May 2008 10:02 (sixteen years ago) link
Only in your head.
― Ed, Thursday, 8 May 2008 10:02 (sixteen years ago) link
Sorry. It's the sun.
I thought "good god, that boy is quick at answering his email!" but it turned out to be an autoresponse. (English, not Cowboy Jim.)

Jim's first mistake was blabbing to K8.

Crikey. I've just been told to google an acquaintance of mine from Glasgow who, it turns out, has been outed as cross-dressing male prostitute! Funny old world. Gorblimey etc.

Kate, one of the things that has most impressed me about yr drawings is the way you draw hair.
I am going to a talk tonite at brookes uni by 2 current colleagues which is being sponsored by my new company and so will be attended by at least two of my new colleagues. Crazy incestuous world of online publishing....
― Grandpont Genie, Thursday, 8 May 2008 11:25 (sixteen years ago) link
Waht? I just like to tease Cowboy Jim. It's fun. But if he gets a POG before me, I will KEEEEEEEELL him.
I love drawing hair, it's my favourite thing to draw. I think that's why I like shaggy rock boys with the anime hair so much.
― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 May 2008 09:40 (sixteen years ago) link
And here's a man with my favourite fun hair to draw... it's like his whole head is covered in little swhirlies! I could draw swhirley carruthershair all the doo dah day.

Morning there. My shoulders ache ache ache today. I am hard at work, looking for train-related Flickr groups to post my train-related pictures on.
― Forest Pines Mk2, Friday, 9 May 2008 09:49 (sixteen years ago) link
Do I want to know why yr shoulders ache or should I just not ask?
Surely there have to be loads of train groups on Flickr. (My fave Flickr group at the moment, though is The Portrait Painter.)
― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 May 2008 09:52 (sixteen years ago) link
There are so many train groups on Flickr I am having a hard time filtering through them all. And then going through my photos and deciding which photos are relevant in which groups.
I have no idea why my shoulders ache. Either bad posture at work or bad posture sleeping, I expect.
― Forest Pines Mk2, Friday, 9 May 2008 09:56 (sixteen years ago) link
Are we going to Spiers and Boden on tuesday do you have ticket? Review them to TZR.
― Ed, Friday, 9 May 2008 10:00 (sixteen years ago) link
It's Wednesday! And I haven't bought a ticket yet. Coz I keep forgetting to bring my wallet to the web cafe. But I am going, yes yes yes.
Trainspotting the trainspotting groups, ha ha, on that is wonderfully recursive.
― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 May 2008 10:03 (sixteen years ago) link
Shall I buy it and you give me cash on weds?

Actually, yeah that would be great if you could!
Are you coming to the Jazz on Sunday in Covent Garden (yes, I am afeard.)

Jazz? What the...?

(Marmaduke is playing. He has threatened jazz.)
((That is, if he ever answers his email, because he did say he'd give me a guest list.))

Hands up who's all going to Stockhausen Day at the Proms this year? *hand up*

... well, when they get round to selling the tickets that is

What day is it, (I prommed a lot in my youth, some great concerts but the Albert hall is a terrible thing to do to music)
― Ed, Friday, 9 May 2008 10:40 (sixteen years ago) link
Herman, can you forward to me.
― Ed, Friday, 9 May 2008 10:41 (sixteen years ago) link
I've only ever saw Ennio Morricone at the RAH and that was fan-bloody-tastic
August 2
― Tom D., Friday, 9 May 2008 10:42 (sixteen years ago) link
Forwarded it on to you Ed (and Tom D too because he loves the prog)
― Herman G. Neuname, Friday, 9 May 2008 10:43 (sixteen years ago) link
Tempting. We should get five together for a box.
― Ed, Friday, 9 May 2008 10:47 (sixteen years ago) link
I've tried booking tickets in advance but I'm not convinced it worked
― Tom D., Friday, 9 May 2008 10:49 (sixteen years ago) link
Wow, just noticed on August 22, performance of "Punkte" (which I love) alongside Mahler, Schubert, Beethoven... culture clash!
― Tom D., Friday, 9 May 2008 10:50 (sixteen years ago) link
I think Tom D should go to the last night of the proms.

oh man the hot weathers ended already. It's pissing down here. Just as I had put a washing on.

I think maybe they banned it at his work.

damn.

Stockhausen Day at The Proms? OK, why does that sound like the punchline to a bad joke? Count me in on the box, I like the idea of going to the Proms. I could wear my new straw boater.
So you did get Spiers and Boden tickets? Ah, I hope so, as you're probably off camping and everyone else in the world is at ATP. Sigh.
I'll copy you the Youthmovies album IF YOU MAKE ME A BLOODY COPY OF THE GREAT LOST SHIMURA CURVES ALBUM!!! It is absurd, I am the only person in the band that doesn't have it. :-( Or at least, the last, good remix of it. We should put it out when the Paynes come back from Sweden.
Anyway, um....

I've got to stop drawing the lad. This is getting absurd.

THEY HAVE A TRUMPETER FFS!!!
I should have drawn the trumpeter. Ah well, too late now.

Draw Ed!

With clothes ON, of course.
btw cooler group emails have ended up in my gmail junk folder so you should all check yours to make sure it goes to your inbox

I've already drawn Ed! He was on a Shimuras poster!

I did! Did you not get my response? I think it got sent to your hotmail. Eeep.
I had a brilliant weekend. Even the JAZZ was good. In fact, the DEMON JAZZ was actually kind of amazing. They had a double bass and everything. Though I suppose it wasn't proper jazz, it was more like... oh what was it Other Music used to call it? That section where they put all the Scott Walker and the Serge Gainsbourg. "La Decadence".
Now I'm all a-flutter over Marmaduke again. Swoon.

Good morning. Our office feels freezing cold today, because we have had the air conditioning repaired. It's strange to think it was meant to be this cold all along, if you see what I mean.
