Does rumpie read the cooler?

I don't know. That is the *cleanest* I've ever seen Hawkwind look, though. They look almost... fluffy.

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 19 March 2007 18:05 (nineteen years ago)

I want to pat their hair, like cats.

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 19 March 2007 18:08 (nineteen years ago)

If only they were doing the nutty walk.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Monday, 19 March 2007 18:09 (nineteen years ago)

Hop-on, Hop-off: How I Survived A Day Sightseeing in London With My Parents and Future In-Laws

Ahhh so that pic was of Gooblar!

TSDOLE on saturday in Camden

― Ed, Monday, 19 March 2007 20:37 (nineteen years ago)

Morning, morning.

Bloody Norah, that's cold out there.

― C J, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 08:32 (nineteen years ago)

morning everyone

it's cold here! gloves and scarf again I think

― H-ari A-shurst, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 08:37 (nineteen years ago)

Ah no new girlfriend yet? wink wink

I am obsessed with chocolate covered waffles.

― nathalie, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 09:38 (nineteen years ago)

was that directed at me?

― Ed, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 09:38 (nineteen years ago)

It's sunny here but bloody hell it's baltic.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 10:14 (nineteen years ago)

Sorry, that looks really rude in black and white, it wasn't meant to be.

― Ed, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 10:26 (nineteen years ago)

Brrrrrrr!!!

I actually picked up the big planter with all my seedlings in it and brought it inside last night, and I'm glad that I did. Looks like the wisteria and the rocket will survive, but I think it's too late for the basil.

Where are TSDOL playing? I need to get out of the house more. I'm starting to get that crankiness from staying in too much and being bored.

My favourite song I think was the one with the line about "sleeping against a frozen car"? I am rubbish at remembering song titles.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 10:33 (nineteen years ago)

Camden Barfly.

Steve Hillage is a little masturbatory, no?

― Ed, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 10:34 (nineteen years ago)

I'm still wondering what Ed thought was directed at him.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 10:46 (nineteen years ago)

Ugh, I hate the Barfly, boo.

Steve Hillage does go on a bit, but when he hits a good groove, it's mind-expanding. That passage on Aftaflid is still one of the best things I've heard in ages. Just the way that track... swaggers. I swear to god Benjamin Curtis got half his style from him, ha ha... but I suppose he is really a guitar player for guitar players.

But if you think that's mastabatory, I won't send you Yes cookies, hah!

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 10:48 (nineteen years ago)

I've only heard the first track of the Hillage, I preferred that one track of Yes though.

― Ed, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 10:52 (nineteen years ago)

Put on Aftaflid right now. I'm not talking to you about Steven Hillage until you listen to it. Especially about the 11 minute mark.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 10:53 (nineteen years ago)

Ah no new girlfriend yet? wink wink

this one

― Ed, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 10:54 (nineteen years ago)

This Zodiacs album is awesome.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 10:54 (nineteen years ago)

Ahh, no, that was directed at the devonshire dirty dronerock boy.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 10:55 (nineteen years ago)

I really really really want coffee today, for no apparent reason. It must be the cold.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 11:10 (nineteen years ago)

I am listening to something fishy

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 11:18 (nineteen years ago)

Marillion's 2nd album?

― Tom D., Tuesday, 20 March 2007 11:19 (nineteen years ago)

Hello. Bleah, I feel awful today. Still made it in to work, though.

No snow on the ground here, but there was a little bit settled in Hessle earlier.

― Forest Pines, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 11:28 (nineteen years ago)

No, some cookies Kate sent. A concept album about fish it seems.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 11:32 (nineteen years ago)

Fishcakes? You'll have to explain this stuff about cookies becuase I haven't a Scooby what you're on about...

― Tom D., Tuesday, 20 March 2007 11:33 (nineteen years ago)

I did manage to snag the 2nd Sabu Orimo

Sabu Orimo
Ichi-On
Subjective Spirit Sound SSS-106
CD-R
£8.99

Amazing new limited edition solo album by this young Japanese shakuhachi avantist who describes himself as playing "Japanese old stone age style" and "noise shakuhachi", a companion album to Susabu, also released by SSS. Orimo plays with natural bamboo flutes using no F/X whatsoever but he tears through the instrument with distorting force, blowing teeth through the valves with the kind of power-thinking more commonly associated with saxophonist Mats Gustafsson or Masayoshi Urabe. Ichi-On feels more intimate than the preceding Susabu, with Orimo's long, deep flute tones working delicate gravities of growl and drone while environmental aspects creep in around the edges, most affectingly during "Yure" where the dance of rain provides a highly atmospheric counterpoint to Orimo's elemental performance style, flashing from rage to silence in the tiniest of eternities. A beautiful performance with little parallel on the instrument. Highly recommended.

I don't think anyones been brave enough to try the 1st one though.
Check your email dada.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 11:34 (nineteen years ago)

All will be explained.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 11:35 (nineteen years ago)

Kate - I meant to ask you if you liked Soft Machine?

― Dr.C, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 11:35 (nineteen years ago)

I used to not like Soft Machine - too much jazz in there - but I have not heard them in years, and my tastes have changed, so I should probably give them a second chance.

Actually, no,that's not true. They had a "Soft Machine" room at the Tate Liverpool when we went to see the "psychedelic art" exhibit about two years ago. I loved the Velvet Underground lightshow room, and the Pink Floyd/UFO lightshow room, but the Soft Machine one left me cold.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 11:37 (nineteen years ago)

(xpost) No it won't!

― Tom D., Tuesday, 20 March 2007 11:38 (nineteen years ago)

Soft Machine were great!!! I have the the 1st 2 Volumes on 1 cd and 3rd on cd. I'm not Kate though.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 11:38 (nineteen years ago)

Bit jazz for Kate? Vol. 3 and onwards...

― Tom D., Tuesday, 20 March 2007 11:40 (nineteen years ago)

It was a fantastic idea for an exhibit - they tried to recreate the experience of going to these concerts - the music, the lights, the films, the oil slides etc.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 11:40 (nineteen years ago)

Oh right, cookies, nudge nudge wink wink, I'll bet she does! I'll bet she does! etc

― Tom D., Tuesday, 20 March 2007 11:42 (nineteen years ago)

Soft Machine / Matching Mole - candidate for the most obscure pun ever?

― Grandpont Genie, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 11:43 (nineteen years ago)

say no more say no more

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 11:45 (nineteen years ago)

i like the barfly. possibly because i pretty much lived there for 2 or 3 years.

― emsk, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 11:49 (nineteen years ago)

It's a horrible place to see bands, though! The bar is right in the wrong place, so you can't actually get into the room if it's crowded, and end up stuck in that horrible L-bit where you can't see the band. It's pretty much the last toilet venue in London I've never played and never want to.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 11:52 (nineteen years ago)

yes what is it with the venues with L bits? Brighton's Freebutt is like that too.

― Grandpont Genie, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 11:53 (nineteen years ago)

I've only ever been there once - Jim Reid played!

― Tom D., Tuesday, 20 March 2007 11:53 (nineteen years ago)

It's nice if you don't want to see everyband, so you have a place where you can go and chat and not have to have Cheesecake Truck or whatever inflicted on you. But it is STUPID to put the bar at the apex of the L, so no one can get from one bit to the other.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 11:53 (nineteen years ago)

BUT BUT BUT if you squeeze yourself through the big jam by the bar you find TONS OF SPACE and you can see and hear and stand under the aircon if it's hot.

― emsk, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 12:00 (nineteen years ago)

(also lol @ cheesecake truck)

― emsk, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 12:01 (nineteen years ago)

But the reason there is TONS OF SPACE is because no one can actually get through the horrible jam! The number of times I've nearly died getting past the bar, to find the front of the stage clear... it is BADLY BADLY designed, that venue. They need to move the bar.
