Isn't the other Turk the singer in Chicory Tip ?

― Lee Begonia, Friday, 14 January 2005 19:15 (nineteen years ago) link

I think Geordie Mick's new band should be called Nelly Furtado's arse hole.

Back to topic 2:

Even my brilliant protoges know maths is wank.

Vaginal Vagina

Even Kim couldn't look at Mick when he grew his Zapata Moustache.

I met Geordie Mick at Stayfree (a rehearsal/recording complex in Leicester) last night, as his new band were rehearsing. He's not decided on a name yet, but quite likes "Sturgeonwangler" and "Ming mang mong".He said to keep those ideas coming. He let me sit in on the rehearsal for a bit, and I heard a couple of their new songs, the first was called "The Flaming zip" and is a slow, ponderous folk-drone song about a recent true event, when Mick dropped a lit match in his lap and set his trousers on fire. He had singed pubes, but the ladeez will pleased to learn his tackle was unscathed ! The second song they did was more of a rocker, this one was called "Out of my head on whyte cyder and After shave", I reckon this could be a single. It's interesting to hear Mick singing-never heard him before. It's refreshing that he doesn't do what so many other English singers do and sing in an American accent. If anything he has quite a Scottish lilt to his singing voice. The line up is almost complete, they're just looking for a female singer as well. Before I left they were trying out a brand new song Mick had written in the afternoon before the rehearsal, no title yet, lyrics not fully formed, but they were something about all the bands in the 90's being rubbish, with the exception of one band who were cruelly ignored by the record buying public despite several releases on several labels and live appearances on Radio 1. He didn't name the band in the song, so I don't know who they were. Any ideas ?

Lung Leg?

Back to things.

Geordie Mick's new band is called "Relapse."

― Mitzi B, Monday, 17 January 2005 10:57 (nineteen years ago) link

Thought you all might like to know what the rhythm guitarist out of Conveyer Belt is up to. Well out of spite I've changed my name to Cumbrian Mick and got a job as a postman. Me and that bloke out of Volcano the Bear sit in the all new Durham Ox all afternoon in our postie uniforms listening to Boring Brian moan about the new working practices. There's been talk of us forming a super group and so far we've wasted an amazing 57 hours 14 minutes of conversation time thinking up the bands name. Latest is "Love Mizpizz F1-11".

― Your auld Segotia, Monday, 17 January 2005 11:14 (nineteen years ago) link

The only 90s band that weren't crap were "Nonsense French".

― Xavier Chirac, Monday, 17 January 2005 11:22 (nineteen years ago) link

Does anyone know what football team I support these days?

― Simon Gallup, Monday, 17 January 2005 11:25 (nineteen years ago) link

James Went's gone, but in the rubble you can see Leicester's crack team of indie archaeologists groping hopelessly for early Cookie Monster set-lists among the equations.

― Bellester Smith, Monday, 17 January 2005 11:38 (nineteen years ago) link

The rosehips? The nivens? feral? The ammonites? The wendys? Five Thirty? The Catherine Wheel? Adorable?

― A happy pube, Monday, 17 January 2005 15:05 (nineteen years ago) link

I support Reading FC, Kesh.

Scottish Mick's new obsession is Hinge and Bracket and he is now taking a break from flogging ceramic monkeys to design a website for the famous duo. he's put a lot of work into it. Here it is:-

Simon, only twats change teams. Didn't you used to be in Fools Dance? How many A levels? You're nearly sacked. You're the new Lol and have been for years. Rangers!

― Robert Smith, Monday, 17 January 2005 16:10 (nineteen years ago) link

Hang on, you said "Feral"? I thought I was the only one who knew about them?

― Rob M (Rob M), Monday, 17 January 2005 16:33 (nineteen years ago) link

Phuck Robert Palmer! Phuck Rock and Roll!

Feral - really boring shoegazing band from Newcastle, if I recall.

Hey Neptune, why the obsession with an embarrasing old teacher who lives on a boat?

I have it on the very weakest authority that Geordie Mick has given up on the Conveyor Belt tag and the white-cider glockenspiel to concentrate on harmonically tuned piano mood music.

Also gone are the Terry Riley influences and other minimalist nonsense and like some Caulfield sibling he's gone prostituting himself to Hollywood.

If that's too small for yous onanists, here's a picture of his difficult third album.

God Terry Riley! A rainbow in curved aair and "in C" and that. Is Michael Harrison like him? Had forgotten 2 sides of 25 minutes of clanking each. All in C. Ha ha ha.

The limited edition Haggis Collectors single (A side "Everybody wants to be a haggis" backed with the intstrumental "I dream of haggis"), released on Pickled Egg and sold out in less than 2 months, has been snapped up on ebay for an amazing £33.06!

― Kesh n Carry, Tuesday, 18 January 2005 15:27 (nineteen years ago) link

I bumped in to Turk last Diwali. He told me in confidence that the Last "Last Ever Tube Bar" was such a roaring success he's decided to open a sister club at Creation or whatever it's called. Play list will mostly be Harry Secomb, so no change there, but it's name might be of interest: "Say No To Humps. Say No To HURMPS!"

― Mitzi B, Wednesday, 19 January 2005 08:36 (nineteen years ago) link

Mitzi would never misplace an apostrophe. I suspect an imposter; it wouldn't be the first time on this board.

Are you having fun with your new laptop then, Kesh?

― Peter O'Hanraha-hanrahan, Wednesday, 19 January 2005 15:53 (nineteen years ago) link

No, I'm skiving at work. Laptops+Boats = no internet

― Collataly Sisters, Thursday, 20 January 2005 09:47 (nineteen years ago) link

That's ok then. Did you sort that equation out that was bothering you the other day? Simultaneous equations can be little shits at the that time of day, I know. Just remember that X=5 (except on Fridays).

― Colin Poppshed, Thursday, 20 January 2005 10:19 (nineteen years ago) link

That one is a bugger and I've still not worked it out. Mitzi tells me the answer might involve fictional numbers, or something. How's the glorious world of sheds?

― Iggy Pop Barker, Thursday, 20 January 2005 13:06 (nineteen years ago) link

Geordie Mick is confused.

He has been sent a tortoise in the post by a deranged fan to autograph, with a request to dress it up as a fly and play some 'satanic' bass lines to it, whilst whistling the tune to Kid Creole And The Coconut's top tune ‘Annie I’m Not Your Daddy’. The crazed anonymous poster has then reuquested he post the tortoise on to Bernard Manning.

What can it all mean?

― Suke Matterhorse, Thursday, 20 January 2005 16:19 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm denying the name Ming Mang Mong for Geordie Mick's new band 'cos there is already a perfectly acceptable mad band called Mong. If you download their grammatically challenged "Mong want's more!" offering here: http://www.topplers.net/ you will hear that Mick's new venture might suffer in comparison.

Turk's "The Other Tube Bar" night is infact upstairs at Firefly on 29th Jan. Be there kids.

Enough Morris, Suke. Back to the studio, I mean band.

Pat from Prolapse is starring in a Prolpase tribute band which he has formed in Copenhagen using stoats and polecats to make up the rest of the band and they are going to play concerts to homeless people from Greenland.

Its official! Geordie Mick has written a new song to be sung by a sampled old Speak and Spell toy that he last used when he was 11, its kinda in da style of add n to x on mogadons. I have insider details of the song and here are the lyrics!

Measure vs calculation, by Ming Mang Mong (Projected title)

Rationals, irrationals, integers etc., have lots of interesting properties
that
measurements don't.

We can approximate a measurement by a number
from any of these sets, together with a scaling/choice of units, but none of
the
mathematical structure that makes our the number rational
or whatever remains, precisely because all measurements are approximations.

hard sums

Jings! Those wee, sleekit, cowrin', tim'rous teenagers The Haggis Collectors have released a Burns night single: "Great Chieftan o' the Puddin-race!" It's backed, miraculously, by a goth/burns crossover called "Trenching your Gushing Entrails". It's braw!

― Neptune, Tuesday, 25 January 2005 11:09 (nineteen years ago) link

That's nothing Neptune. Haggis Collectors' 9-year-old ex-roadie Dougal has formed a band called Neeps n Tatties and released "I Wish I Was Maw Broon's Son", a deranged cover of Jeremy's rarely played classic. The B-side is, inevitably, "I Feel All Bashed and Champit". Crivens!

You've trumped me again Uranus. Damn you and your crazy axis.

Bog that's real.

Who is mongrels@streamlinerec.prestel.co.uk posting as BOTH OF MY NAMES plus "Mongreilf" on sci.math.num-analysis in 1998? And posting strangely philosophical stuff too, for a numerical analysis forum.

― Rex Harrison, Tuesday, 25 January 2005 13:29 (nineteen years ago) link

It's Dale Olivier

― Dale Olivier, Tuesday, 25 January 2005 13:43 (nineteen years ago) link

He of Fountainhead fame? By the way, I have spoken to Geordie Mick, his current favourite band name is Bog, Thats Real!

It works on so many different levels.

― Donald Ross Skinny, Tuesday, 25 January 2005 13:51 (nineteen years ago) link

Here's another geordie mick/speak and spell tune, to a funeral like dirge using a bass line not to dissimilar to 'Faith' by the Cure.

It's called "Elementary Proofs"

The existence of transendental numbers used particular proofs that pi or e
were transendental, then Cantor's diagonal argument showed the Reals were
not countable and as algebraics were, transendentals must exist.

I heard about a very longwinded existence theorem for some esoteric type of
agebraic object, only for the author's student to show it only existed in
the
trivial case. Mongreilf rock.

It's not wonderful, but it's more than anyone else has written about Prolapse thus far this year.

If Geordie Mick is using Kesh (Mongreilf) as his lyricist, does he not hate him any more?

― Martin Greasepaint, Wednesday, 26 January 2005 08:33 (nineteen years ago) link

Kesh has recently formed a Celtic Rock band, check here for details - http://www.thekesh.org.uk/kesh/
i always suspected there was an Irish Joe influence in his music....
