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

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

Not yet.

Hopefully Tiscali will go into the business of divine intervention.

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

Why Hari, it's been a bit. And you missed me in the UK once again!

― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 17 March 2007 15:46 (nineteen years ago)

Argh! Curses.

I have returned to the fold. Are you going to make the journey for the ILXfest Ned? I'm hoping to persuade Kate to allow me and my motley reprobate band to have some stage time.

― H-ari A-shurst, Saturday, 17 March 2007 17:09 (nineteen years ago)

You should ask emsk if you can play Truck with Shimura Curves!

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

Pickup Mando has arrived. I have no time to plug it in and strum, but I am excited. I need to find the appropriate moment to turn everything up to eleven and make big noise.

― Ed, Saturday, 17 March 2007 19:40 (nineteen years ago)

Awesome! Pics?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Saturday, 17 March 2007 19:57 (nineteen years ago)

Tomorrow, I need to get to Dr C.

Various Artists - Psychedelic Phinland - Finnish Hippie & Underground Music 1967-1974

wo of our favorite words! (Though we normally spell Phinland, Finland.) The current Finnish psych
phenomenon -- Avarus, Kemialliset Ystavat, Circle, Pharaoh Overlord, Kiila, etc. etc. is of course a major AQ obsession. As is vintage psych from, well, heck just about anywhere, but certainly Scandinavia. So this double-disc compilation, subtitled "Finnish Hippie & Underground Music 1967-1974" has got us all excited. There's 29 tracks from almost as many artists, a fantastic trip into the early daze of the Finnish freak-scene. Perhaps another good subtitle would have been: "When Drugs Came To Finland". There's even a few songs about marijuana to set the mood, starting off disc one. But Psychedelic Phinland is just as political, and parodic, and perverse as it is potheaded. There's plenty of Flower Power pop and/or fuzzed-out blues rock, but you'll also find jazz-damaged prog and mystic folk, revolutionary theatre and electronic insanity. There's so much here, we can't mention it all, but look out for heavy psych jammers Baby Grandmothers, "rocking lavatory anarchists" Suomen Talvisota 1939-40, and progrock pioneers Wigwam... then there's there's Eastern-inflected psych-folk from Pekka Streng and the Yippie ranting of Markku Uto...
And then on disc two things get REALLY weird. Yeah this one's even further out, crossing over a bit into "Arktinen Hysteria" territory (you maybe remember, that great collection of early Finnish avant-weirdness from a while back, also released by Love Records). It starts off innocently enough with our new favorite band(name), Those Lovely Hula Hands. Really, that's their name, and they included several 13 and 14 year old sisters playing violins and recorders, singing gently amidst tape-recorded bird-twitter... a song about Tarzan! Then we hear from Pekka Airaksinen and also his band The Sperm, doing extended feedback and tape music experiments. We remember The Sperm from that Arktinen comp and had wanted to hear more. Later on, there's some wonderfully primitive, ceremonial hippy jamming, particularly from a band called Sikiot, who have a krautrockish vibe like Siloah or Amon Duul. And there's plenty more, some other names of note on these cds include J.O. Mallander, Charlies, Topmost, Juice Leskinen & Coitus Int, Apollo, Blues Section, Hector & Oscar, and Kruunuhaan Dynamo...
All of this is pretty much totally obscure, in fact a lot of it consists of previously unissued archival recordings from the vaults of Finland's Love label and other sources... A true labor of Love. Comes with a twenty page, full color cd booklet with English-language notes on each track and tons of cool old photos and graphics.

Who wants cookies?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Sunday, 18 March 2007 00:14 (nineteen years ago)

Damned stoners.

― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 18 March 2007 00:16 (nineteen years ago)

Send me cookies.

― Ed, Sunday, 18 March 2007 00:17 (nineteen years ago)

OMG ARCADE FIRE *melt* they did no cars go second (it seemed like they were doing their setlist backwards for a little while) so i ended up at the front with the jumpingpeople for pretty much the whole set. WUV

― emsk, Sunday, 18 March 2007 00:22 (nineteen years ago)

Who else wants cookies? I'll do em now.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Sunday, 18 March 2007 00:23 (nineteen years ago)

Were you jumping about Emsk?

cookies are on their way, ed. Do you think Kate The Hippy will want them?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Sunday, 18 March 2007 00:29 (nineteen years ago)

Yay cookies. And later I'm off to a fine meal but right now I'm listening to drones recorded in Texas.

― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 18 March 2007 00:33 (nineteen years ago)

yes i was jumping! like a 14yo boy! i think the last time a band * made* me do that it was pixies at the same venue. my clothes are all blech.

― emsk, Sunday, 18 March 2007 00:34 (nineteen years ago)

I still jump about or dance(it's less tiring).
I don't have emsks email to send cookies.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Sunday, 18 March 2007 00:40 (nineteen years ago)

oh i still dance about a lot, all the time, and jump about fairly often - but if it's jumping about there's usually a bit more impetus from me - "i want to jump about!" this time i knew i was gonna end up doing it but thought i'd watch half the gig from halfway back then wriggle down the front for the rest. but when no cars go started i couldn't stay still, and then i couldn't leave.

― emsk, Sunday, 18 March 2007 00:46 (nineteen years ago)

Do you want cookies, emsk?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Sunday, 18 March 2007 00:52 (nineteen years ago)

Then Emsk took the stage and rocked out. Surely.

― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 18 March 2007 00:53 (nineteen years ago)

I hope Ed's mandolin is a MANDOLIN OF DOOM!

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Sunday, 18 March 2007 01:28 (nineteen years ago)

It's a sure sign that when you see the word cookies and think of the internet that you have spent too long online.

Yahoo was searching for America's best cookie earlier and all I could think of was how I wouldn't be able to log in to oink.me.uk if that cookie ever got deleted.

I'm a complete saddo though. Continue your business.

― H-ari A-shurst, Sunday, 18 March 2007 01:30 (nineteen years ago)

Cookie is a code word (for cookies honest)

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Sunday, 18 March 2007 01:46 (nineteen years ago)

Code schmode

― H-ari A-shurst, Sunday, 18 March 2007 01:48 (nineteen years ago)

hello peeps, gosh, isn't 'children of men' a good film?

currently having my mind blown with countless doom metal recommendations via MSN and the goodfolk who have posted immediately before I.

and to think i still regard SFA's 'Rings Around The World' as one of the pinnacles of post-2000 music...

― unfished business, Sunday, 18 March 2007 01:48 (nineteen years ago)

Kate likes photos of dirty dronerock boys. Don't you fear! she also likes posts of Benjamin Curtis and Howard from The Mighty Boosh.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Sunday, 18 March 2007 02:21 (nineteen years ago)

And Alex James.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Sunday, 18 March 2007 02:21 (nineteen years ago)

Kate's weekly crumpet quota has just been filled in one fell swoop, I suspect.

― unfished business, Sunday, 18 March 2007 02:21 (nineteen years ago)

Are you wibbling out there, Hari?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Sunday, 18 March 2007 02:22 (nineteen years ago)

What's wibbling?

― H-ari A-shurst, Sunday, 18 March 2007 02:22 (nineteen years ago)

I think Kate will need to answer that one.
I just hope Kate scrolls up, todays posts might have vanished by the time she sees it on monday!

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Sunday, 18 March 2007 02:24 (nineteen years ago)

What pedals do you wibble with?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Sunday, 18 March 2007 02:25 (nineteen years ago)

I don't do much 'widdling' in that band.

My new ones I'm gonna use my voice and guitar through a DD6 and several different tremelo pedals offset to make insane stuff happen.

Possibly a bass distortion pedal on the guitar too.

― H-ari A-shurst, Sunday, 18 March 2007 02:26 (nineteen years ago)

in my new bands i mean.

― H-ari A-shurst, Sunday, 18 March 2007 02:26 (nineteen years ago)

If you do play the ILX gig you and the Shimura Curves need to play together and take a ride to wibble heaven.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Sunday, 18 March 2007 02:28 (nineteen years ago)

With Ed on the MANDOLIN OF DOOM

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Sunday, 18 March 2007 02:29 (nineteen years ago)

you wait till I release a track for the ILX, it'll be dirtier and dronier (ok, maybe not, but definitely proggier) than all you guys combined :-P

― unfished business, Sunday, 18 March 2007 02:29 (nineteen years ago)

But Shimura Curves can wibble while the others fall down...

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Sunday, 18 March 2007 02:31 (nineteen years ago)

1st part of a 2 cookie set has been sent..

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Sunday, 18 March 2007 02:42 (nineteen years ago)

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Sunday, 18 March 2007 03:59 (nineteen years ago)

Im off to bed now though.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Sunday, 18 March 2007 04:32 (nineteen years ago)
