morning! thanks for asking cj, how are you? it's fine because i haven't been wearing shoes that touch the bone... it's weird, the pain feels like a bruise, it's on top of and slightly above/behind the knobbly ankle bone, and it only hurts when there's something touching it. even then sometimes it's just a bit irritating and pretty much ignorable, and sometimes it's ARGH ARGH LEG IS BUCKLING. last night i went for a run (7 x 2 minutes with 1 x 5 minutes at the end, woo! 1st 5 minutes...) and it was completely fine. this morning it's still completely fine.

god it looks GORGEOUS out there this morning, i can't wait to get out. i have to do the washing up first though.

Unexplained pain/weakness like that is really disconcerting - I never know whether I should be worried about it or not. I had this peculiar sharp ankle pain on Saturday which came on quite suddenly and hurt like crazy making it difficult to dorsiflex my foot, but it was all okay again by the evening. Odd. Sometimes I think we pull or strain a muscle without realising it and all it takes is some rest or ibuprofen or a neoprene support for a while, to give it a chance to heal itself. I'm glad your ankle is okay again today!

I'm all bungled-up with cold. How can I be unwell AGANE? I only recently got over flu, and now I'm coughing and spluttering all over again. It's not fair :(

hackney docs are busy busy.

why is this? are there fewer docs per capita? Or is Hackney full of ill ppl?

Definitely go see the doc emsk. I have always found it weird here that, in a country with free healthcare at the point of delivery, we say "mustn't bother the doc over something so trivial whereas in, Germany and Russia say, they are rushing to the doc at the v first cough.

god it looks GORGEOUS out there this morning

wish it did here -- Oxford is coated with FOG. and it's chilly again. If 2007 has taught me anything, it's never to be surprised by the weather.

― Grandpont Genie, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 08:09 (nineteen years ago)

The fog-on-the-Isis will lift soon, Mark. It's supposed to be nice here later.

― C J, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 08:10 (nineteen years ago)

good!

I am going to London tonite to see I'm from Barcelona again! At Koko!

― Grandpont Genie, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 08:11 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah go and make sure.

Hari's band has made an ep. He's no 3 on the O1nk charts!!

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 08:11 (nineteen years ago)

It's true. Gonna have copies to sell this week. Already got 7 pre-orders!

― H-ari A-shurst, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 08:13 (nineteen years ago)

It's on mini-cd with handpainted art and stuff

― H-ari A-shurst, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 08:14 (nineteen years ago)

Bloody hell hari. Do you have text alerts when your name is mentioned on here?

Where can we buy them? I'm in for a copy!! "Go Electric" is bloody great!!

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 08:15 (nineteen years ago)

Spoke to soon.

― H-ari A-shurst, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 08:19 (nineteen years ago)

You must have the same driver as emsk gets then!

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 08:19 (nineteen years ago)

x-post

maybe not then. Yours arrived.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 08:19 (nineteen years ago)

Or is Hackney full of ill ppl?

yes, it is a very deprived inner city area with higher health problems per capita than most other parts of britain.

― Ed, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 08:24 (nineteen years ago)

Hi Hari!

WHERE'S YR TRACK 4 ILXVol3?

Regardsssss

― Mark G, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 08:25 (nineteen years ago)

Spencer Percival if everything Ib wanted it to be, with better production, so much more space in the mix.

― Ed, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 08:27 (nineteen years ago)

Oh crap, I'll send it now Mark. Whats yr email?

― H-ari A-shurst, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 08:28 (nineteen years ago)

higher health problems per capita than most other parts of britain

hmm, I sometimes forget how lucky we are in Oxford. The healthcare system is excellent and we prolly have *lower* healthcare problems than most other parts of Britain. Shame some of the (many) Oxford docs can't move to Hackney to even things out a bit, in that case. It is v rare for me to be unable to get a doc's appointment next day.

― Grandpont Genie, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 08:29 (nineteen years ago)

For ages and ages, I avoided seeing Doctors about anything - partly that was due to living in the USA without health insurance, but I just remained doctor phobic even after moving to the UK. I'm lucky in that now I have a very good health centre which my doctor is part of (part of the reason I stayed in the neighbourhood) - but if my recent wrist problems have taught me anything, it's that you should see the doctor when things become a problem. If you put it off for months and months or years and years hoping it will go away, it doesn't go away - it gets worse and worse.

Hackney is patchy - I was on Hackney NHS when I lived in Hoxton, but we had this little mini-hospital practise thing attached to St. Leonards which was great.

I am so sleepy today. I have not got my head around the time change yet. And Ampy filled me with two bottles of wine last night.

My GP is a horrible horrible Chinese man, a rude and obnoxious twunt

― Tom D., Tuesday, 27 March 2007 09:59 (nineteen years ago)

Next time he's rude to you, say "diu lay lo mo" back to him.

― C J, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 10:02 (nineteen years ago)

Ah! Aaaahhhh!!! Who has a television who doesn't mind my coming round on Friday night?

My colleague has just told me that there is AN HAWKWIND DOCUMENTARY on C4 on Friday. I must see it! Or can someone tape it? or both?!?!?

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 10:04 (nineteen years ago)

hopefully the internet magic will make it downloadable.

― Ed, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 10:11 (nineteen years ago)

That does not help me.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 10:13 (nineteen years ago)

We must try and make downloadable playable on percy.

― Ed, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 10:15 (nineteen years ago)

I can DVD record it.

― Mark G, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 10:15 (nineteen years ago)

Morning all! 4 pints last night, and not even the hint of a hangover!

― G00blar, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 10:18 (nineteen years ago)

I hate you. Where is the coffee?

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 10:19 (nineteen years ago)

On the stove.

― G00blar, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 10:19 (nineteen years ago)

maybe they're watering down teh beer.

― Grandpont Genie, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 10:19 (nineteen years ago)

Correct answer: In the machine. Except someone is banging in the kitchen. Not sure what that's about.

please can someone record the Hawkwind programme, as I do not trust Ed rummaging around in Percy's bowels.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 10:21 (nineteen years ago)

OK! No doubt I'll forget. But I will try. (absent minded, you know)

― Mark G, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 10:21 (nineteen years ago)

I wish my nice neighbours still lived behind me, because they would totally watch it, and I could go round there and watch it. My new neighbours are not friendly.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 10:24 (nineteen years ago)

Buy a tv!

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 11:02 (nineteen years ago)

Can you send a cookie of one?

― Tom D., Tuesday, 27 March 2007 11:04 (nineteen years ago)

Argh, ILX be coming and going! I got poxy fuled for ages!

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 11:07 (nineteen years ago)

does it still say poxy fule? I just found it didn't connect.

― Grandpont Genie, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 11:08 (nineteen years ago)

Hey Hari You're at no2 now in the O1nk chart.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 11:08 (nineteen years ago)

Even when it doesn't say poxy fule, I still know it's poxy fuling.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 11:09 (nineteen years ago)

Ah right. I thought it was just "me"

― Mark G, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 11:12 (nineteen years ago)

Aargh, I've got to put together a cd of songs with production I like to give the engineer some idea of what we're going for. This is the kind of thing that seems really cool at first but is actually incredibly hard.

― G00blar, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 11:21 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, it's hard not to get distracted by the songs, rather than the actual production. You have to be kind of a geek to get into production on that level.

I cannot find the links between these stupid tables, argh.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 11:23 (nineteen years ago)

I'm a bit torn at the moment about songs from Navy Blues--I think it's the best produced sloan album, and sloan's not too far from what we do, but the gtrs are so 70s hard rock..

― G00blar, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 11:27 (nineteen years ago)

Hrrrmm, I actually prefer the production on Pretty Together.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 11:29 (nineteen years ago)

Really? Sounds all pro-tooled and auto-tuned to me.

― G00blar, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 11:30 (nineteen years ago)

Yesss, I love the pro-tooling. It sounds like it's been put through the "make it sound slick" machine from Josie and the Pussycats. But I like that kind of production. I don't like sloppy lo-fi indie production.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 11:33 (nineteen years ago)

Fair enough--I just think Navy Blues is the happiest of mediums, between recorded-on-a-boombox One Chord and recorded-in-a-studio-made-of-DIAMONDS-in-L.A. Pretty Together.

Hurrah! Spoon's new album is gonna be called Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga!

― G00blar, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 11:36 (nineteen years ago)

recorded-in-a-studio-made-of-DIAMONDS-in-L.A.

Thank you, you've just given me a description of what I want Shimura Curves to sound like!

Uh, no, not really. I've been loving the "ohmigod, stereofucking with your head" production on Steve Hillage and the silky-soft-smooth-as-a-butterfly's-wing-in-a-tempest mid-period Echo and the Bunnymen type production.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 11:41 (nineteen years ago)

Things I think I want from the production of this record: vocals RIGHT up front; total stereo separation of parts--everything precise and isolated, to give a real sense of space; great drum sound more important that great guitar sound.

― G00blar, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 11:43 (nineteen years ago)

Did anyone like that finnish comp?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 11:48 (nineteen years ago)
