1995 doh!

Crying babies sleepless nights and walking round and round the garden

*suddenly realises quoting random JC lyrics just as likely to piss ppl off as 12 threads per day*

― Grandpont Genie, Friday, 16 March 2007 16:09 (nineteen years ago)

hero is awesome!!!! It's probably where johnny rotten got his vocals from!

NEU! are like the gateway drug of Krautrock, I think they're the most immediately accessible - and lead you to the other bands. Harmonia and La Dusseldorf are both NEU! spin-offs, one by each of the dudes in NEU! - both of whom used to be in Kraftwerk during their Krautrock period. It's so incestuous. You'll come round to the rest of it in time. Frances and I *will* make a Can fan of you.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 16 March 2007 16:15 (nineteen years ago)

I wasn't opposed to can, the are testing my latin drum tolerance.

― Ed, Friday, 16 March 2007 16:16 (nineteen years ago)

You should've gave him Mother Sky to start with

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Friday, 16 March 2007 16:17 (nineteen years ago)

WDYLL is amusing me today.

― Ed, Friday, 16 March 2007 16:18 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, I know but Mother Sky is fifteen minutes long and Pinch is only nine.

They've all got the crazy bongos, though, Can are truly bongo brothers, they have found the new sound.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 16 March 2007 16:19 (nineteen years ago)

But Opa-Loka is totally NEU! - you hear that, right?

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 16 March 2007 16:21 (nineteen years ago)

Mmmm, early Echo and the Bunnymen. Sorry, had to be said.

"Passing round the me-di-cuh-hun..."

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 16 March 2007 16:24 (nineteen years ago)

Mother Sky (edit) from Cannibalism/Anthology then!

― Mark G, Friday, 16 March 2007 16:25 (nineteen years ago)

Oh, and "Turtles have short legs" is Tago Mago for Kiddies Parties! Take That, Saint Etienne!

― Mark G, Friday, 16 March 2007 16:26 (nineteen years ago)

Oh yeah, I hear that.

― Ed, Friday, 16 March 2007 16:32 (nineteen years ago)

Hey Ed, I was in your manor today - was visiting the swanky office furniture showroom a couple of doors down from the pub. And what a fine day for subsequent pottering around Clerkenwell and lunching on the Green today was too. I bought a turquoise woollen hat from a charity shop as well. Not too keen on the lack of cashpoints though - or are they just invisible to me?

― Nobodysprawn, Friday, 16 March 2007 16:38 (nineteen years ago)

Bottom, of leather lane, or in the garage on clerkenwell rd.

― Ed, Friday, 16 March 2007 16:40 (nineteen years ago)

And to think I was crawling around that area a week ago. (The Plan B offices are kinda small and tucked away.)

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 16 March 2007 16:40 (nineteen years ago)

Ooooh, thanks. I went to look at really nice scruffy freelance journalist desk space on Hatton Wall as well. Finally, I may escape my bedroom! They all seemed like a really nice bunch in there too.

― Nobodysprawn, Friday, 16 March 2007 16:47 (nineteen years ago)

I mourn the demise of the bar in there.

― Ed, Friday, 16 March 2007 16:47 (nineteen years ago)

Oh and Dahling, we should do lunch.

― Ed, Friday, 16 March 2007 16:48 (nineteen years ago)

WTF? this is a fucked up version of Motorhead I've never heard before. Fiddles? I think the version I have is live.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 16 March 2007 16:50 (nineteen years ago)

HA HA HA HA HA!!! One of Yes is playing what looks like... yes, in fact, it IS... an Octave Mandolin on the inside cover of the eponymous album. Excellent!

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 16 March 2007 16:53 (nineteen years ago)

It is only an octave mandolin if it is gdae tuning, it may well be a bouzouki of some sort.

― Ed, Friday, 16 March 2007 17:06 (nineteen years ago)

Hrrmm, it is listed as a "Vachalia" but closer inspection reveals Although long credited as a vachalia, around three decades later Howe discovered that the instrument concerned was not a vachalia at all, but a Portuguese guitar.

It sure looks like an octave mandolin, it has those distinctive double strings - but then again, the neck isn't quite as long as yours.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 16 March 2007 17:28 (nineteen years ago)

Could be a mandola, I could be some kind of 8 string guitar beast.

That version of Motorhead is the bestest one, I can't believe you haven't heard it?

― Ed, Friday, 16 March 2007 17:31 (nineteen years ago)

God, Rick Wakeman was pretty when he was younger, sigh...

Err... can't think if I have. I've heard the Motorhead version, a couple of live versions - is there one on the double album Doremi/In Search thing? (Even though the disc of In Search Of Space never came home from the Truck Festival - maybe it was an offering to the White Horse.)

It sounds like a mandolin - on the first movement of Your Move. (You can tell it's a good Prog album when songs have movements!)

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 16 March 2007 17:38 (nineteen years ago)

CAn I have a cookie?

― Ed, Friday, 16 March 2007 17:40 (nineteen years ago)

Let me see...

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 16 March 2007 17:41 (nineteen years ago)

Also, I didn't get the cookie from pash, could you forward that.

― Ed, Friday, 16 March 2007 17:41 (nineteen years ago)

Hmm, I am contemplating where the LEAD might live.

― Ed, Friday, 16 March 2007 17:43 (nineteen years ago)

I sent it again, Ed. I mistyped "zeroinetgrity" like an idiot.

― Pashmina, Friday, 16 March 2007 17:46 (nineteen years ago)

Thanks

― Ed, Friday, 16 March 2007 17:47 (nineteen years ago)

Cookie on its way, this cookie is rather an aquired taste - Joe and I were torturing Frances at the last gig by singing it at her.

Be careful where you put the LEAD as it may fall through the floor!

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 16 March 2007 17:48 (nineteen years ago)

No sign of the pickup mandolin unless my upstairs neighbors signed for it. (they may of course be withholding if they saw me bring the amp in, I thing I'll be able to turn it all the way up to 0.11)

― Ed, Friday, 16 March 2007 17:48 (nineteen years ago)

I am actually curious as to what a Mandolin would sound like, on the boost or overdrive or distortion or whatever Marshall call it of the LEAD turned up to 11. Maybe do it on Friday evening when there's so much noise about no one will notice.

(Did I paint the 11 on that one? I did on my former guitarist's Marshall. But then again, we were always mucking about with each others' amps - we turned our bassist's EARTH amp into a FART amp and he never noticed.)

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 16 March 2007 17:51 (nineteen years ago)

note the significant decimal point.

― Ed, Friday, 16 March 2007 17:51 (nineteen years ago)

I misread, yes, I will try it with boost on, and all knobbulation turn to the right, almost as a first go, but maybe with the cab disconnected and it inputting into the MOTU box.

― Ed, Friday, 16 March 2007 17:53 (nineteen years ago)

Ah! I did not notice the decimal point.

Ah, the bands that have used that amp. It was touring bitch for every KRS band ever from the Bangs to Slumber Party to the Gossip.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 16 March 2007 17:53 (nineteen years ago)

If I dust it will I be removing anything significant?

― Ed, Friday, 16 March 2007 17:54 (nineteen years ago)

I think the dust may be holding the front screen together! It really needs a new front put on it - but I want a paisley one, of course. Be careful of what is in the back of the cab, though - at one point the fallen off knobs from the front were taped in there.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 16 March 2007 17:56 (nineteen years ago)

Even the fallen off knobs have a minor indie cleb story - they were knocked off by Dan Channel 6/Absentee!

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 16 March 2007 17:58 (nineteen years ago)

Also some casters on one of the short edges would be a good idea.

― Ed, Friday, 16 March 2007 17:58 (nineteen years ago)

I did buy casters at one point! But they were too puny for the LEAD power and bent and buckled before I could get them fastened on! You have to get heavy duty rollers for amps.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 16 March 2007 18:00 (nineteen years ago)

You know who this sounds like a job for. I still haven't broaced the subject of him building a cab for me.

― Ed, Friday, 16 March 2007 18:01 (nineteen years ago)

My type = shit today

― Ed, Friday, 16 March 2007 18:02 (nineteen years ago)

If he didn't smoke so much pot, he would be my dream man. But if he didn't smoke so much pot, he would not be him. Sigh.

Argh I need to be putting things on the BigStick to take home and listen to, but I'm forgetting eveyrthing I have to do this weekend? 1) Finish mixing a Shimura Curves song for ILX comp. 2) Put individual tracks of Elektrickometheorie onto a disc 3) Remix G00blar song 4) Write Plan B articles! Gah! I'm not going to have time to go out tomorrow! Too much to do!

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 16 March 2007 18:10 (nineteen years ago)

This version of Uncle Sams on Mars - fuck yeah!

― Ed, Friday, 16 March 2007 18:22 (nineteen years ago)

I wonder what Kate decided to write for Plan B in the end?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Saturday, 17 March 2007 14:55 (nineteen years ago)

It won't let me vote for jazz twice.

Curses!

― H-ari A-shurst, Saturday, 17 March 2007 15:01 (nineteen years ago)

Hey Hari! Any sign of your internet connection being fixed?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Saturday, 17 March 2007 15:14 (nineteen years ago)
