Three good albums: Side Trips; Beacon From Mars; Incredible!
One terrible one: Bernice

But even the good ones have crap on them - all that jug band stuff, David Lindley's fault

― Tom D., Thursday, 29 March 2007 11:35 (nineteen years ago)

... actually their singles, b-sides, outtakes are arguably better than their albums!

― Tom D., Thursday, 29 March 2007 11:36 (nineteen years ago)

I'm trying to remember which one was Kaleidescope UK, I seem to recall that I really liked them, too. I though they did Path Through The Forest, but that was The Factory (also awesome).

Ah wait, yes, Freely Faintly Blowing...

Kind of a proto-Circulus, IIRC.

I like the sound of jug band stuff, I noticed they had a version of the hesitation blues on one album, which I love to sing.

I am having no luck with the coding today, what is wrong with me? No awake.

I got a new job, people. I am now a features editor. Hurrah! Am not going to have to work in my bedroom any longer. YAY!

― Nobodysprawn, Thursday, 29 March 2007 11:42 (nineteen years ago)

Oh god, the Freak Emporium have that, too. I cannot start shopping there, this could get very dangerous for me.

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 29 March 2007 11:42 (nineteen years ago)

Congratulations!

(Apparently there was/is a mexican kaliedoscope as well)

― Ed, Thursday, 29 March 2007 11:42 (nineteen years ago)

x-post to prawn! Hurrah! Congratulations! We should drink to celebrate!

They do, on the first album, I always used to skip all that stuff when i listened to their albums, but I do like that song. Is "jug band/ old timey" stuff one of the last genres never to be revived? There's an ILM thread if ever there was one...

― Tom D., Thursday, 29 March 2007 11:43 (nineteen years ago)

We had a lot of that stuff last night at the folk with the groanbox boys. I've been singing a lot of it all my life.

― Ed, Thursday, 29 March 2007 11:44 (nineteen years ago)

You want old timey jug band - do you have any 13th Floor Elevators, Ed?

They had an Electric Jug. I kid you not.

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 29 March 2007 11:46 (nineteen years ago)

Fairfield Parlour!

― Mark G, Thursday, 29 March 2007 11:46 (nineteen years ago)

xpost the electric jug bloke wrote the songs!

― Mark G, Thursday, 29 March 2007 11:48 (nineteen years ago)

Stop mentioning names of bands whilst I have freak boutique open in another tab.

― Ed, Thursday, 29 March 2007 11:48 (nineteen years ago)

He wrote the lyrics, to be exact (xpost) I like when Lovin' Spoonful do jugband stuff - more pop versions

― Tom D., Thursday, 29 March 2007 11:49 (nineteen years ago)

I must warn you I am listening to Donovan right now, so I may be feeling a little light on my feet.

It must be spring! I want to dig out all the groovy Psych/Freakbeat albums! Can't find The Factory anywhere, though - I had a taped copy off my rare vinyl collecting ex-boyfriend.

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 29 March 2007 11:49 (nineteen years ago)

The Factory single was part of the John Peel box, so there's a number of ILXors that'd have it close to hand.

As I would, but I'm away from base.

― Mark G, Thursday, 29 March 2007 11:56 (nineteen years ago)

It's also on the UK Nuggets box set. (Which I still don't have, like a nidiot.) But this ex had about six songs by them, which were all fantastic!

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 29 March 2007 11:57 (nineteen years ago)

I have closed freak emporium after purchasing 3 cds, it is worse than going into fopp.

― Ed, Thursday, 29 March 2007 11:58 (nineteen years ago)

13th Floor Elevators are one of the best bands ever!

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Thursday, 29 March 2007 11:58 (nineteen years ago)

Is that the one based in Camden, across the road from t' market?

― Mark G, Thursday, 29 March 2007 11:59 (nineteen years ago)

Oh yes!

― Tom D., Thursday, 29 March 2007 11:59 (nineteen years ago)

That's "Oh yes!" to 13th Floor Elevators being one of the best bands ever, by the way...

― Tom D., Thursday, 29 March 2007 12:00 (nineteen years ago)

No, it's the one on Shaftesbury. DANGEROUS, especially when bedrunked.

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 29 March 2007 12:00 (nineteen years ago)

Sounds like the similar.

I had to come out without buying anything! Too risky!

― Mark G, Thursday, 29 March 2007 12:01 (nineteen years ago)

What did you get, Ed?

Yeah, these were both £5 at Fopp last year!

― Mark G, Thursday, 29 March 2007 12:20 (nineteen years ago)

Argh! Why did I not go in FOPP then? I have them both on vinyl - in storage at my mum's house, and only a compilation CD here.

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 29 March 2007 12:23 (nineteen years ago)

I have this
http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov200/drd000/d055/d05558n6bs9.jpg

which is really http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:dzfyxqt5ldde with a few extra tracks.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Thursday, 29 March 2007 12:24 (nineteen years ago)

I actually have 2 13th floor elevators cd comps with all the album tracks on them(bought in mid 90s) So I never did buy the actual albums on cd. I should if FOPP have them next time I'm in.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Thursday, 29 March 2007 12:25 (nineteen years ago)

"Bull of the Woods" is fucking great too

― Tom D., Thursday, 29 March 2007 12:26 (nineteen years ago)

If Hari is around, when and where can we buy your new EP?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Thursday, 29 March 2007 12:28 (nineteen years ago)

I want a nap. I'm going to just have to have more coffee. Argh.

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 29 March 2007 12:48 (nineteen years ago)

yay nobody's prawn! let's go drink cava next week.

― emsk, Thursday, 29 March 2007 13:13 (nineteen years ago)

FREVD? (I am in belgivm next week though, so have fun)

― Ed, Thursday, 29 March 2007 13:16 (nineteen years ago)

I feel even crapper than usual: I might have gotten the chickenpox from O which is NOT good if you are pregnant. :-((((((((

― nathalie, Thursday, 29 March 2007 13:17 (nineteen years ago)

Have you had chickenpox before?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Thursday, 29 March 2007 13:18 (nineteen years ago)

Ohmigod, not that is very not good if you are pregnant! I hope everything is OK. :-(((((( indeed.

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 29 March 2007 13:18 (nineteen years ago)

(there should only be one "not" in that sentance, I am really out of it today.)

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 29 March 2007 13:19 (nineteen years ago)

Kerr, I honestly don't know. I think I might have had it when I was 14/15 yrs old. If only I could remember! My doctor said that I needn't worry: most people have it, but without any signs, and are thus immune to it. And even if I didn't have it, I could have an injection IN TIME. But ARGH I am a hypochondriac and always expect the worst. :-( I of course googled for info on what would happen to the foetus (if it would get infected). :-(

― nathalie, Thursday, 29 March 2007 13:20 (nineteen years ago)

I had it twice when i was at primary school. My mum says I didn't but she has a terrible memory.
I had chickenpox for 3 weeks then a few years later at another school I was off for a week.
In between I had german measles and mumps(got the mumps on xmas eve 1981 i think, couldnt go out on my new sledge when there was the heaviest snow scotland has seen in my lifetime, still I did get nearly a month off school.)

No ordinary measles. Apparently you only get one or the other.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Thursday, 29 March 2007 13:26 (nineteen years ago)

I've never met anyone who has caught chickenpox off their children EVER. If that's any consolation to you.
If the doctor says not to worry then listen to him.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Thursday, 29 March 2007 13:27 (nineteen years ago)

I am now waiting on someone googling and posting that it's not true you only get one or the other.
Who is it going to be?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Thursday, 29 March 2007 13:28 (nineteen years ago)

No, I've had both measles and chicken pox, they are different diseases. You are thinking of cow pox and small pox.

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 29 March 2007 13:29 (nineteen years ago)

I've only known one person to get chicken pox as an adult, but he got it in his late teens off his much younger brother.

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 29 March 2007 13:30 (nineteen years ago)

The Measles - quite a good name for a 60s beat group

― Tom D., Thursday, 29 March 2007 13:31 (nineteen years ago)

Unless you mean German Measles and Measles, which I have no idea about. I've not had the Mumps.

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 29 March 2007 13:31 (nineteen years ago)

... and then there's the German tribute band - The German Measles

― Tom D., Thursday, 29 March 2007 13:31 (nineteen years ago)
