I dunno. Also, we don't know what equipment we will be having to carry about. (I will definitely have a guitar and a load of pedals.)

That's the first day of my holiday, too, how can I get out of bed early in the morning?

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 10:29 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm pretty down, too. Not even GISing 'synth cat' can cheer me up (too many unrelated results). And I'm mad at Kate for not liking the Butterflies. Grr. (That's meant to be a light-hearted 'grr', by the way, in case it doesn't translate over the internet well. Imagine me shaking my fist in a 'why you young rapscallion' kind of way.)

― emil.y, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 10:29 (seventeen years ago) link

can always leave stuff at my house the night before = no lugging.

― Ed, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 10:32 (seventeen years ago) link

Actually, that's a very good idea, Ed. Thanks. (Though it means I don't get to play with my cosmichorus on Friday morning. Can I live without it for one day?)

Errr, I have synth cat somewhere. Let me see.

Sorry I didn't like the Butterflies. I just didn't. ::shrugs and sticks out tongue in a rapscallion-like way::

Check out this show, though!

Another one of those gordon giltrap preamps appeared on eBay for cheap so I nabbed it and now need a PSU, also bellzouki.

― Ed, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 10:39 (seventeen years ago) link

ha, I have just put astrocat on the 50" plasma.

― Ed, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 10:40 (seventeen years ago) link

Argh, have we gone all italic for the rest of time?[/i]

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 10:40 (seventeen years ago) link

Do I come out in italics, too?

― G00blar, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 10:41 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh dear, it's like This Is The Thread Where I Say... in here now.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 10:41 (seventeen years ago) link

ha! xpost

― G00blar, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 10:41 (seventeen years ago) link

Ed, please to be making sure you have AstroCat on your backing videos for ILXorpaLOLooza.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 10:41 (seventeen years ago) link

You'll note that 'Post a response' is in italics too--is it usually like that?

― G00blar, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 10:42 (seventeen years ago) link

Post a response

how genteel!

Let's be bold for all time too!

xpost aw. all better. Or is it? Is it just the (xpost) messages?

― Mark G, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 10:42 (seventeen years ago) link

ah, it is!

― Mark G, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 10:42 (seventeen years ago) link

― Mark G, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 10:43 (seventeen years ago) link

If only.

― G00blar, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 10:43 (seventeen years ago) link

Anyway, can I just say THE LONG RYDERS?!?!? THEE ASTEROID #4?!?!?

Oh, and I finally get to see the Lea Shores, who I have missed a dozen times.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 10:43 (seventeen years ago) link

We just have to wait for Pash to wake up and fix the italics.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 10:44 (seventeen years ago) link

Doesn't he get educated on tuesdays and not really connect to the internet.

― Ed, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 10:44 (seventeen years ago) link

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

― emil.y, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 10:49 (seventeen years ago) link

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.

― Mark C, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 10:50 (seventeen years ago) link

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.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 10:53 (seventeen years ago) link

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

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

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.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 11:05 (seventeen years ago) link

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!!!
