And we thought you were just ignoring us and HAAAAAAAAAATED me, etc. etc.

Nope! I've been a bit busy work-wise and haven't managed to get online much, sorry :(

Hey tissp!

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 16:49 (nineteen years ago)

hey kerr! what's cooking?

― tissp, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 16:51 (nineteen years ago)

Bah. Clearly, I don't exist around here. Not only did I get left out of the leaving cards for the Finn, but the head of the department gave this speech about her being the second longest serving member of the department - like what am I? Chopped liver?

This is actually the "Finance and MI Department" but because the MI department is just me, and my boss is in a different department, I just get left out of everything. :-(

If I don't exist, maybe I should just go home and not do this huge complicated report the head of teh department just asked me for. :-(((((((

:( :(

― tissp, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 17:16 (nineteen years ago)

OK, maybe this is mine own fault for never going to the pub or lunches or Xmas parties or that stupid social crap with them, but still.

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 17:17 (nineteen years ago)

We had a bloke retire today (I don't know why he finished on a Wednesday) who started aged 16 in 1969! He has left to look after his aging parents.

― Dr.C, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 17:19 (nineteen years ago)

Bollocks to them.

Are you going to send me the orginal of that track Kate? I am off to rural Dorset all next week but I can take my laptop and piss about with NOISE IN DAS COUNTRY!

― tissp, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 17:19 (nineteen years ago)

oops, that was an xpost, obv

― tissp, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 17:19 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah I thought you meant 'bollocks to his ageing parents'!

― Dr.C, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 17:21 (nineteen years ago)

yeah i realised when i came back to the thread! we need xpost notification STAT

― tissp, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 17:22 (nineteen years ago)

Oh yeah, if you like - I just wanted to send you our version first to see if you liked it.

Just make sure you set the correct BPM when you record - which I don't actually remember right now. Damn.

How are we going to put together the bits? I've recorded all of it in Cubase, can I send you the whole cubase file? (You record in Cubase, right?) and then you record your bits in? Who gets to MIX it?!?!?

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 17:23 (nineteen years ago)

Also, TISSP! are you still up for the ILX Festival on Sunday 17th June?

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 17:25 (nineteen years ago)

Not bad, Rhys. Heard any tissp-tastic post-rock recently?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 17:27 (nineteen years ago)

Bah, I've just bought another instrument, and already I am having lust over this:

― Ed, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 17:27 (nineteen years ago)

I definitely like the stuff you've done!

You can email the bpm with the original--I won't get chance to do anything until next week because I'm tied up producing someone else's record for the rest of the week, but like I say I should be able to get some ideas flowing next week!

I don't use cubase, no :( Might be best to send wav files for each track bounced down and extended to 1:0:000 so I can't fuck the positioning up--as for just messing about with the laptop then the rough mix will be good enough to play along to.

As for mixing, we should have a FITE! Involving booze and glass! Or you can mix it and I will master it, or vice-versa!

― tissp, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 17:28 (nineteen years ago)

ILX fest is GONNA RULE.

― Dr.C, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 17:28 (nineteen years ago)

Bah

― Ed, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 17:29 (nineteen years ago)

Damn, xposts!

Also, TISSP! are you still up for the ILX Festival on Sunday 17th June?

Er, "probably" (i know this isn't helpful--I will check and let you know)

Not bad, Rhys. Heard any tissp-tastic post-rock recently?

I haven't been listening to any post-rock lately (SHOCK HORROR)! I have been all about the delta blues. And PJ Harvey. Have I missed anything good? Is EITS's new one out yet?

― tissp, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 17:30 (nineteen years ago)

The EITS album is indeed out now on CD & Vinyl and is very very good.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 17:33 (nineteen years ago)

Dobro bass = WRONG!!!

What other instrument have you just bought, Ed?

OK, TISSP I will mix my bits individually down to stereo tracks - which is good, as it means I can bounce mono doubled vocals down to single stereo tracks and free up more room. Everything will be the same length... I have had trouble importing things to Cubase and keeping them straight, as I found out when I tried to remix Gooblar. :-(

I'll send the original over now, and the rest of the stuff tomorrow morning - email me your snail mail address as I'm going to stick everything on a CD and mail it to you rather than risk it.

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 17:34 (nineteen years ago)

It's all about Marnie Stern around here though (and the usual suspects of Can and Hawkwind)

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 17:34 (nineteen years ago)

I just got the pickup tamburlin, now debating what to do with the current one.

― Ed, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 17:36 (nineteen years ago)

Dobro Bass, looks so wrong, sounds so right.

― Ed, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 17:36 (nineteen years ago)

email me your snail mail address as I'm going to stick everything on a CD and mail it to you rather than risk it.

Good plan, have mailed you now

― tissp, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 17:37 (nineteen years ago)

Although this will not work for kate (unless you download them and take them home) here are some videos of the dobro bass being played.

― Ed, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 17:40 (nineteen years ago)

The original is now in the emails, winging its way over to you, TISSP!

I always wondered about acoustic bass guitars, how they could ever really be loud enough - dobro certainly solves that problem, tho.

I will get a 12-string next. I will!

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 17:41 (nineteen years ago)

I'm hoping the stringy greasy mullet isn't obligatory.

― Ed, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 17:41 (nineteen years ago)

Now you make me really want to see the video... ;-P

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 17:42 (nineteen years ago)

And how fun has my morning been?

I ran to the nearest restroom...the women's restroom, at that...at work because I felt like I was about to vomit, thus was the state of my stomach.

And this happened twice in two hours.

Feeling...better...sorta.

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 17:43 (nineteen years ago)

I know how to tempt you, however, in the clips where he has washed his hair he looks like meatloaf.

― Ed, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 17:43 (nineteen years ago)

I need to redo the vocals on the end, though, as I had no idea what she was singing, so I improvised - and now I've found some other attempts at deciphering the lyrics on the interweb.

(Liz Fraser has said, about the web interpretations "they're very beautiful, they're like poetry - sometimes I wish that was what I was singing at the time, but it wasn't." or something like that. So I don't feel bad about however off the money I might be.)

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 17:43 (nineteen years ago)

x-post oh noes, Ned! That sounds awful! Hope that you feel better - get some ginger tea down you.

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 17:44 (nineteen years ago)

Right now I'm just sticking with water, sipped carefully.

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 17:45 (nineteen years ago)

Though now I've read others' versions, I'm realising that it is "whistling" where I'm singing "with sun gang". Oh well.

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 17:48 (nineteen years ago)

This is very very funny

YES!!!! YESSSSSSSSS!!! YESSSSS!!!!!!!

The Column I have wanted since Plan B began is mine next month.

Now I have to figure out what music related thing I hate the MOST out of all the things I hate. (I do not dare actually write "Why I Hate... Football" or I would be lynched.)

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 18:34 (nineteen years ago)

Mitya just posted on my last fm asking if Kate has got ever the secret machines split yet?

So 1st column is going to be Why I Hate.... PLAN B Magazine?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 18:37 (nineteen years ago)

There are SO MANY things that I hate. Which oh which should I choose? Something not too obvious.

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 18:38 (nineteen years ago)

Knowing you it will be jazz drummers playing cymbals.

But how about lack of krautrock influences in todays NME Carling Rock bands?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 18:45 (nineteen years ago)

It should be something that by all rights I *should* love, but just don't. I wonder if anyone has done the Dead yet, or if that's too obvious. I mean, there's lots of things I hate - NME/Carling rock. Noize Dudes. But nothing I really want to STAMP STAMP STAMP off the face of the earth. And I can't think of any until they are staring me in the face.

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 18:47 (nineteen years ago)

jazz!!! Yes!!!!! A winner is jazz!!! KILL KILL KILL STAMP OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH.

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 18:47 (nineteen years ago)

Boooooo!!!

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 18:51 (nineteen years ago)

Though I would really really like to demolish the Dead. I can't decide! Why can't I have three heads?

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 18:52 (nineteen years ago)

I knew you wouldn't dare saw TWEE should be stamped off the face of the earth.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 18:52 (nineteen years ago)

I'm not that bothered about twee. I don't care that twee exists, I just don't want it applied to me.

Jazz and The Dead? STAMP STAMP KILL KILL LIKE A COCKROACH, ARGH GET IT AWAY FROM ME!

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 18:54 (nineteen years ago)

But what about the twee huggers? In bad cardigans and crap hairdos? If you killed them there would be more room for dirty dronerock boys in clubs.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 18:55 (nineteen years ago)

(i don't really hate twee or twee people, I just like to wind up FP and Mitya :) )
