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

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.

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

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)

The Mumps - that's a good name for a band too!

― Tom D., Thursday, 29 March 2007 13:32 (nineteen years ago)

Or have I had the Measles? Oh wait, no - my brother got the innoculation and was so ill from it that my mother decided to just let me get it. I coughed and coughed and broke out in spots everywhere, so my dad started called me The Spotty Barker.

Which would also make a good name for a band.

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 29 March 2007 13:32 (nineteen years ago)

my dad caught chicken pox off me.

― Grandpont Genie, Thursday, 29 March 2007 13:32 (nineteen years ago)

The Mumps just sounds geographical. Or am I thinking of The Mumbles?

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 29 March 2007 13:33 (nineteen years ago)

confusingly rubeola = measles
rubella = German measles

there's an I'm from Barcelona song called 'Chicken Pox':

As a kid I had the chicken pox
the german measles and the scarlet fever
and I don't ever want to go through that again

I had to tell my little broken heart
I had to tell it I'm immune to love
'cause I don't ever want to go through that again

You can't have it once you've had it
You can't have it once you've had it
You can't have it once you've had it, no

― Grandpont Genie, Thursday, 29 March 2007 13:34 (nineteen years ago)

It'd be good if there was East Anglian Who tribute band called The Ouse - there might be

― Tom D., Thursday, 29 March 2007 13:34 (nineteen years ago)

They had a hit with "Only one Wmn"

― Mark G, Thursday, 29 March 2007 13:34 (nineteen years ago)

i had chicken pox for 2 or 3 weeks when i was about 8, caught in school. i had hella bad german measles a couple of years earlier, caught in a swimming pool in france. isn't the can't-have-both thing that it's really good if you have chicken pox when you're a kid because then you can't get shingles (like 2000 times worse apparently) when you're an adult, hence parents sending their kids to play with kids who already have the pox? though i'm sure someone told me they knew someone who did have both.

― emsk, Thursday, 29 March 2007 13:34 (nineteen years ago)

Not only was that an xpost, but the message explaining the xpost is way xposted.

― Mark G, Thursday, 29 March 2007 13:35 (nineteen years ago)

The Shingles - its' another 60s beat group!

― Tom D., Thursday, 29 March 2007 13:36 (nineteen years ago)

Rosemary Clooney and later Shakin' Stevens informed us that they ain't got time to fix the shingles.

― Grandpont Genie, Thursday, 29 March 2007 13:38 (nineteen years ago)

No, no, no, that's completely wrong, Emsk. Shingles is a recurrant outbreak of the Pox - you can only get the Shingles if you have *already* had the pox - it is a retrovirus like herpes. In fact, it is a variant of the herpes virus.

People send their kids to pox parties because it's fairly harmless when you are ickle - the scarring and sometimes the symptoms are worse when you are an adult.

Maybe we should stop talking about this, because we are probably doing nothing to assuage Nath's paranoia! (Though I love disease talk - I should have been an epidemeologist.)

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 29 March 2007 13:43 (nineteen years ago)

(It was Hasbeen who had Shingles - I stayed home to nurse him and missed ATP because of it. In view of his later hijinx, I really should have just gone without him.)

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 29 March 2007 13:44 (nineteen years ago)

I meant measles and german measles. massive x-post

Norman are you on AIM today? Nathalie?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Thursday, 29 March 2007 13:46 (nineteen years ago)

Is everyone itching yet?
