AWESOME!!!! I would be so excited if you would come down and play! You and Frances could do a 30 minute analogue synth jam.

When will the comp be finished?

It's entirely up to when the tracks be finished!

― Mark G, Monday, 5 March 2007 12:56 (nineteen years ago)

We're trying to give people a deadline, otherwise it will be the pissup/brewery typical ILX indecision by committee thing. Besides, we've been talking about ILX0rpollooza for ages!

I just freaked out all the squares at sainsbury's, bopping up and down to sloan in my headphones. Where in the WORLD? [picks up prosciutto] IT'S LIKE YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW ME! [gets mozzarellla, now doing air guitar]

I always catch myself lip syncing (most often lip-shouting actually) because people look at me funny.

― G00blar, Monday, 5 March 2007 13:06 (nineteen years ago)

Ohmigod, I almost forgot until I made lunch (leftover curry - AUBERGINE PICKLE!!! Like lime pickle but made from aubergines. It is nummy hotttt goodness.

Ha ha, I once got caught out doing GOTH DANCES in the parking lot of the Woolworths where I worked to the Bauhaus on my headphones and have never done this again. Honest.

Aww - if Norman comes down for the gig it will be tremendous!!

― Dr.C, Monday, 5 March 2007 13:32 (nineteen years ago)

OMG WILL DAVE HAFTA GO FOR A RUN JUST TO BURN OFF ALL THIS NERVOUS ENERGY????

HOW WILL I GET THROUGH THIS DAY?

(This is weird.)

― G00blar, Monday, 5 March 2007 13:33 (nineteen years ago)

What?

― Dr.C, Monday, 5 March 2007 13:34 (nineteen years ago)

Pre-gig jitters/excitement/notwantingtowork.

― G00blar, Monday, 5 March 2007 13:37 (nineteen years ago)

Trying to work on the day of a gig is ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE.

That said, I'm still flying on energy from Saturday. But at least I'm directing it in a good place.

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 5 March 2007 13:38 (nineteen years ago)

David K at troubadour is really nice and helpful. He's offered a pile of alternative pickup solutions, none of which seem to make him any money.

― Ed, Monday, 5 March 2007 13:40 (nineteen years ago)

I'm usually not this bad. I think it's mostly to do with our last gig being a total disaster (and thus me trying to block it out of my memory), so it feels like we haven't played in AGES.

― G00blar, Monday, 5 March 2007 13:40 (nineteen years ago)

Well, I was suffering from the same problem - not playing for MONTHS after a really really awful terrible gig. And ours went GRATE so I'm sure you will, too.

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 5 March 2007 13:41 (nineteen years ago)

undeniable proof that nasa faked the moon landings, this is the smoking gun, people.

This strip is tickling me

Ha ha, my sisX0r taught her iguana how to download, and now he's in the Guardian Weekend talking about the Ocelot Shop. (Which we spent ages giggling over in the Dorchester last year or was it the year before.)

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 5 March 2007 13:46 (nineteen years ago)

Aww sorry Goob, I forgot you were gigging. It will be great!

― Dr.C, Monday, 5 March 2007 13:48 (nineteen years ago)

17th &24th good for me.

― Dr.C, Monday, 5 March 2007 13:57 (nineteen years ago)

RONG thread!

― Dr.C, Monday, 5 March 2007 13:58 (nineteen years ago)

Oh help, Future Days has put me in the JAZZ TRANCE. Help!

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 5 March 2007 14:57 (nineteen years ago)

*slaps face*

SNAP OUT OF IT!!!

*tosses bucket of cold water*

― G00blar, Monday, 5 March 2007 15:09 (nineteen years ago)

New folk record has an interesting song called 'christ made a trance'. Perhaps it is him.

― Ed, Monday, 5 March 2007 15:11 (nineteen years ago)

I can't stop! I've been twitching and playing air drums on the desk!

Future Days has finished and I'm on Ege Bamyasi now and I'm shaking like a moose on the loose.

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 5 March 2007 15:12 (nineteen years ago)

Thanks, flowerfaerie of hell.

― Ed, Monday, 5 March 2007 15:13 (nineteen years ago)

Name: Skeletons & The Kings Of All Cities - Lucas.zip
Size: 84MB

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Monday, 5 March 2007 15:14 (nineteen years ago)

No, I didn't get that! (Trust me, it wasn't me waht sent it, either. I like the drone!)

I had to take a break from the CAN TRANCE as I've actually been walking about going BOOM BOOM bah bu bee buh diddle diddle bah

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 5 March 2007 15:18 (nineteen years ago)

I'll pass it on.
btw check out the BAIKAL

BAIKAL - Baikal - cd
imprec119 - CD - $11.99

Baikal is a new burner from Bardo Pond brothers John & Michael Gibbons along with fellow Bardo Pond members Clint Takeda and Jason Kourkonis. This time they ventured down the route of heavy free-improvisation and a Last Exit style hard rock approach coupled with a hard psych bend. With two tracks each weighing in at over 30 minutes in length it's clear that Baikal is a deep voyage underseas with yet another mindblowing Bardo Pond sideproject featuring Bardo brothers John & Michael Gibbons as your tour guide – and it's a heavy trip indeed. Dive in.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Monday, 5 March 2007 15:22 (nineteen years ago)

I didn't get it either.

― Pashmina, Monday, 5 March 2007 15:23 (nineteen years ago)

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!

Sonic Cathedrals are doing a Nico tribute night on 1st April.

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 5 March 2007 15:31 (nineteen years ago)

I have just remembered that Nikki said we can come and play hawkwind and fresh maggots in her club.

― Ed, Monday, 5 March 2007 15:59 (nineteen years ago)

Anyone up for the Resonance FM comedy benefit gig?

― Ed, Monday, 5 March 2007 16:19 (nineteen years ago)

Kate, I'm likely going to be clearing a few FX pedals out in the "big clear out" - moogerfooger phaser, wyllie fuzzbox, prunes & custard - I'm going to be playing w/them a bit over the next week or so to make up my mind finally. The moogerfooger is almost def going up for sale, the other 2, very probably - let me know if yr interested?

― Pashmina, Monday, 5 March 2007 16:27 (nineteen years ago)

Interested, yes! I'd love that Prunes and Custard if it's for sale!

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 5 March 2007 16:29 (nineteen years ago)

What's the Wyllie like Norm? I'm kinda interested, depending on price.

― Dr.C, Monday, 5 March 2007 16:31 (nineteen years ago)

The Wyllie is likely to be expensive. I've got to see what the "going rate" is, also, I need to find out how much the P&C goes out for as well. The Moogerfooger is 175 (new price is 225, and it's near mint)

― Pashmina, Monday, 5 March 2007 16:35 (nineteen years ago)

I'm getting that tickley "ohmigod, this is scary..." sensation like I get before gigs, just over trying to book this festival! I think that's good.

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 5 March 2007 16:38 (nineteen years ago)

That BBC dramadoc "end day" is on google video, it's really scary!

― Pashmina, Monday, 5 March 2007 16:39 (nineteen years ago)

Trying to get 5 people in a band to agree on a friggin' date to do something is torture! I have just had to play the fascist dictator to get things going. I guess it's the tradeoff for having artistic control or whatever you call it. Sometimes wonder if it's worth it.

― Dr.C, Monday, 5 March 2007 17:04 (nineteen years ago)

It depends. Problem is, when you have to play the fascist dictator to get things done, people end up hating you and resenting you and thinking you're "a bitch" or "a nightmare to work with" and all that name calling crap. When it's like... if I didn't do this, there wouldn't be a band. Trade off? Sigh.

I've decided that I do it for fun, and being the fascist dictator makes it not fun. But you've seen all the horrors I've been through before hitting on the current arrangement. (and wondering, like an open marriage, how long it's going to be good for.)

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 5 March 2007 17:07 (nineteen years ago)

Problem is that sometimes being in a band isn't fun and you just have to do the unfun stuff to make the rest of it work. I don't always feel like lugging a car full of gear round the M25 to a rehearsal and getting back at midnight when I'm knackered. But if you sit at home on your arse all the time, then NO BAND.

I'm overstating it a bit, but really....

― Dr.C, Monday, 5 March 2007 17:14 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, but the trick is to make sure the unfun stuff is equally distributed. (Everyone has to haul crap.)

Or make sure the fun stuff (getting to write the songs) balances out the unfun stuff (having to book the shows and arrange everything).

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 5 March 2007 17:16 (nineteen years ago)

Fucking monthly pipeline recc, I hate this thing. I'm out by £378.06 which is so small it's got to be just one fee on one case but I'm fucked if I can find it.

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 5 March 2007 17:24 (nineteen years ago)

Hi dere all. Seems that finally my car has come out of limbo and I can actually have it this weekend (for reference: I should have taken delivery of it last December). Hooray.

― tissp, Monday, 5 March 2007 17:27 (nineteen years ago)

(Everyone has to haul crap.)

Don't get me started!

But yeah the fun stuff does balance out the unfun stuff in the long run.

― Dr.C, Monday, 5 March 2007 17:28 (nineteen years ago)

Sorry, I didn't read yr post, Dr C. The Wyllie is a hotrodded version of the old "superfuzz" pedal. Is sounds huge, so much so that really it's only suitable for lead, I think - if I play that e5 chord, the one you can play all of hawkwind's songs with through it, with it just being root and fifths, it should sound good through any fuzz/distortion box. Through the rising sun, it sounds kind of like a nuclear holocaust? It sounds great, but I've never been able to fit it in with anything, it's just too much. I nearly always play clean anyway.

I'll have a blast of the P&C and the Wyllie over the next 2 weeks, try and fit them in w/something, but realistically they've got to go.

― Pashmina, Monday, 5 March 2007 17:29 (nineteen years ago)

Argh, I don't know where I'm going really but I'm off to the wilds of Whitechapel and then Gooblar. See some of you laters!

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 5 March 2007 17:33 (nineteen years ago)

Mmm, morning.
