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?!?!?

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!

ILX fest is GONNA RULE.

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

Bah

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

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 17:56 (nineteen years ago)

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 :) )

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

If people can list 10 reasons why jazz should be wiped off, then Kate should do the article on that.

Reason no 1?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 18:57 (nineteen years ago)

Can I do you a jazz primer so you can get in the mood?

― Ed, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 19:01 (nineteen years ago)

This is MY article, not yours!

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 19:01 (nineteen years ago)

I should probably do it on the Dead, because I have actually had more experience of people trying to make me listen to the Dead, but hating Jazz is more comedic.

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 19:02 (nineteen years ago)

otm

― G00blar, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 19:06 (nineteen years ago)

Oh! I hate Experimental Sound Art, too, but that's just too easy a shot, but oh, the fun of taking swipes at my ex in print.

(though taking swipes at one's ex is childish, mean and bitchy and should not be encouraged.)

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 19:08 (nineteen years ago)

James was banging on, this weekend, about a 3 man dj crew who play nothing but the dead.

― Ed, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 19:10 (nineteen years ago)

Slagging off jazz in a rock mag makes it just look like a rock mag that doesn't like anything non-rock.
(which is possibly true, but i'm sure they don't wish to give that impression)

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 19:11 (nineteen years ago)

He bloody would! OK, that is my 5-year crush on James nipped in the bud right there.

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 19:11 (nineteen years ago)
