I have asked on the mod request board, but you know that means that I will be shouted at by ADHD noize dudes for the next few days for daring to ask someone to fix a coding error. :-(

ITALIX ROXXX

Hmm, I am intrigued by those seven bells people. All the ingredients sound good, but do they meld well? Doubt I'll ever get to hear them, though.

Hey guys - I haven't received anything, not even spam, on my Yahoo account in 5 days (and I know people have tried to send em stuff which has bounced back). Problem is I can't find a way of telling Yahoo there's a problem! Any ideas?

― Mark C, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 10:51 (seventeen years ago) link

See if Yahoo have a gmail account.

― Mark G, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 10:53 (seventeen years ago) link

The ingredients meld BEAUOOOTIFULLY well. If they are coming to the UK in the future, I'm sure they'll play Sonic Cathedrals. I hope. Argh, I was going to send you a cookie, but not if yer email is fucked.

Does anyone on the 'Cooler live in Sheffield, by the way? We're playing there tonight.

― emil.y, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 10:54 (seventeen years ago) link

I had chickenpox! I can't have it now nor any time in the future. I am of course EXTREMELY happy. Hurrah!

― nathalie, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 10:54 (seventeen years ago) link

[/i]Argh!

― nathalie, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 10:54 (seventeen years ago) link

Does THIS work? Probably not.

― nathalie, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 10:55 (seventeen years ago) link

That is AWESOME news, Nath! I'm so relieved!

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 10:55 (seventeen years ago) link

Where are you playing? I don't live there any more, but I am interested!

― tissp, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 10:57 (seventeen years ago) link

We're playing at the Grapes. Tomorrow, we take on Leeds at the Packhorse.

― emil.y, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 10:58 (seventeen years ago) link

Also, Kate:

Kate, I know! The doctor said I was negative and positive which first freaked me out, but then she explained I was negative in teh sense that I didn't have it now and positive that I had it at one point in my life. YAY!

― nathalie, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 11:00 (seventeen years ago) link

That is such a relief, Nath. But I suppose it shows Chicken Pox wasn't that bad for you, if you don't remember having it.

Good luck with the gigs, Emily!

Ha ha ha! :-) Ed has a mug with CookieCat on it. I heart cookie cat. But not as much as AstroCat.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 11:02 (seventeen years ago) link

Fixed it, heh. <em> tag causes italics, apparently.

― Pashmina, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 11:02 (seventeen years ago) link

Cool! The Grapes is a really nice venue. Very small, but really nice.

― tissp, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 11:03 (seventeen years ago) link

Thanks, Pash.

I think I have discovered the cure for gloomy moods. Put on "Mothership Connection" - it is utterly impossible to be depressed while listening to it.

cats are kool

(ack! my first xpost mk 2 - scary.

― mitya, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 11:06 (seventeen years ago) link

Nice going Nathalie :)

If anyone really did want to send me a cookie, try my surname at gmail (one S, one R, two Ts).

― Mark C, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 11:07 (seventeen years ago) link

Kate, where did you cut&paste that sonic cathedrals text from, please?

― Pashmina, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 11:20 (seventeen years ago) link

http://soniccathedral.proboards31.com/

Sonic Cathedrals messageboard. Don't all rush over there at once. ;-)

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 11:22 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh, the Kontakte gig tomorrow has moved here:

http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/1064/untitled1tr5.jpg

Not sure about their description, though...

WHAT? Nobody playing your sort of music in London? well we've got 2 awesome bands and djs (including DJ Lady Genevieve) playing the best of 60s/70s/80s/90s psych/neo psychedelic/experimental/shoegazing/psych-pop which'll be exploding out of the speakers backed by mind bending visuals for you to dig!

yeah we're talking The Stones, Brian Jonestown Massacre, Chocolate Watchband, Jesus & Mary Chain, The Warlocks, Death In Vegas, Spiritualized, Spacemen 3, The Dandy Warhols, BRMC, Ride, My Bloody Valentine, The Morning After Girls, Acid Mothers Temple... the sort of music that you want to hear but nobody plays! see you there, its the best trip you'll get in London for £4!

Errr... "nobody plays"?!?!? Not been to Sonic Cathedrals lately, then, have you? Or AC-30 or Night of the Long Swords or Goo-night or any of the other half dozen shoegazer clubs in London?

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 11:33 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh I am crap at remembering things. Especially diseases. Once it's over, it's in the past. But my mum told me I had mumps, measels AND chickenpox in three weeks time when I was 14/15 years old. I vaguely remember *something* but ah well WHO CARES I can't have it anymore. HURRAH.

I am eating pink strawberry chocolates. Yum.

― nathalie, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 11:45 (seventeen years ago) link

I am eating CURRY. Oh, how nice it is to be eating curry for lunch again. I cannot believe I was ever sick of it. I no longer want to eat anything else.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 11:48 (seventeen years ago) link

What sort of curry is it, Kate?

― C J, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 11:51 (seventeen years ago) link

Astro Cat still reigns supreme, but today I discover the internet is pleasingly full of kitty synth pics.

(Chances of this posting without "illegal url" warning = minimal)

― a passing spacecadet, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 11:52 (seventeen years ago) link

Kate, I just got a package of CHEESE CURRY from my mum. I can't WAIT to try it. It'll be crap, but *good* crap. haha

I like to make Chicken tikka masala from scratch (including the curry). I could eat curry every frigging DAY.

― nathalie, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 11:56 (seventeen years ago) link

Is there a Hawkwind or Prog-Rock Cat for Norm or Kate?

I'm loaded with the cold here. So i'll just be passing through when i'm not feeling too tired or ill to sit at the pc for a while.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 11:58 (seventeen years ago) link

It is a home made curry. It kind of starts life as sag paneer (cheese in curry = OHMIGOD THE YUMMMMMMM!) but I add whatever is sitting in the back of the fridge to it. Which this week means parsnips and carrots and leeks and purple sprouting broccoli.

I put a bit too much SUPER HOT GONDAL CHILLI XXX STRENGTH in it but it is still lovely.

Cats and synths go together like, err... SPACE AND ROCK!!!

Check emails for awesome tuesday cookie (and keep an eye out in 30 mins for another)

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 12:35 (seventeen years ago) link

I have just bought a pack of 20 Coffea Arabica seeds, which I am going to sow this afternoon. Hopefully these will grow into 20 lovely little coffee plants which I plan to give away at the end of the year as CHRISTMAS PRESENTS. Yes, I am planning Christmas already. How sad is that?

― C J, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 12:52 (seventeen years ago) link

Well, it's the time of the year to be thinking about planting things.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 12:54 (seventeen years ago) link

I've never tried growing coffee plants before - I'm quite excited!

― C J, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 12:55 (seventeen years ago) link

Will they grow in the English climate?

::licks lips at thoughts of growing own coffee::

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 12:58 (seventeen years ago) link

From what I've been reading, they seem easy enough to germinate indoors at this time of year. They do well as house or conservatory plants, although you can move them outdoors for much of the year once they're bigger (and just bring the pot indoors for them to over-winter). Unfortunately it takes three years to actually get any coffee beans from them, but they're nice looking plants with glossy green leaves and pretty white jasmine-like flowers, so they'll make nice house plants I guess. I thought it would be nice to try growing something different for a change :)

― C J, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 13:04 (seventeen years ago) link

I hate Coffee, but I don't mind coffee cream chocolates if that's all that's left.
Shame you cant grow coffee cream chocolate plants.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 13:20 (seventeen years ago) link

We're playing at the Grapes. Tomorrow, we take on Leeds at the Packhorse.

I love the grapes, we used to put on self indulgent dj night there and make lots of noise and feed people brownies. It also seems to be outside the Sheffield venue/promoter beef thing that is going on right now, or at least a neutral zone.

Hopefully the shimuras will be doing a gig in sheffield in the not too distant.

― Ed, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 15:39 (seventeen years ago) link

WHY DOES THE BLOODY MONTHEND RECC NEVER NEVER EVER BALANCE THE FIRST TIME AROUND!??! WHY?!?!? WHY?!?!?

OK, it's better than usual. It should be £3.03 and it's -£.16 as opposed to £3000 or whatever.

WHY WHY WHY??!?!?

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 15:50 (seventeen years ago) link

Woo, just got back from being in the audience at the Culture Show. V.weird as half the time you are meant to be pretending to 'just chat, like you were on a Saturday night' and not gawping at Lauren Laverne. ALMOST asked her where the toilets were after half walked into a broomcupboard. Rest of audience was students (all under 23) and their lack of knowledge of (a) what a mackem is (b) who Mark Kermode is and Field Music are and, oh, countless other things makes me glad not to be their age any more and slightly smug at my superior knowledge and/or coolness. Also they dished out Jelly Babies at the end, so might be on a slight sugar rush.

― Nobodysprawn, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 16:16 (seventeen years ago) link

god hel that sounds horrendous. although laverne in close-up...i could even nearly touch her!

*cough*

― CharlieNo4, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 16:19 (seventeen years ago) link

or ask for her phone number.

― Ed, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 16:20 (seventeen years ago) link

I heart Lauren Laverne.

I just got offered a job! And I have interviews (one based on a personal recommendation) for two more! Hurrah for possibly finally getting back to actually earning real money!

(boo for "oh noes, what to do, where to go" dilemmas, should they present themself at the end of the week)

― ailsa, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 16:21 (seventeen years ago) link
