I don't know. I just don't want to be sleeping anywhere within a mile of where it is playing.

Ha ha, though they were teasing me last night that I would put up with a banjo for hott banjo player. Erm, probably.

CRUSHES GO AWAY, THERE ARE TOO MANY OF YOU POPPING UP ALL OVER THE PLACE, BOYS STOP BEING SO CUTE!!!

Mitya, are you at work and POSTING ON TEH COOLER?!?!?

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 30 March 2007 11:38 (nineteen years ago)

yes! the IT guy was on the floor taking down serial numbers or something and I asked him to freshen up the ol' computer. (should've got him to put an IM program on, too, darn, why didn't i think of that)

― mitya, Friday, 30 March 2007 11:40 (nineteen years ago)

Excellent, just in time for Friday afternoon whiling away the time. Do you have any springtime crushes, or has spring not made its way to the steppes yet?

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 30 March 2007 11:43 (nineteen years ago)

I have carrot cake. Be very afraid!

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 30 March 2007 11:58 (nineteen years ago)

It wasn't even very nice. It was kind of stale and a bit hard. But I do feel drugged now. Wheeeeee!

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 30 March 2007 12:24 (nineteen years ago)

Sonic Cathedrals are showing the Nico film at 3pm this Sunday. Means I have to make my curry early - Nat wanted me to bring it down! No no no, MY curry.

― Ed, Friday, 30 March 2007 12:34 (nineteen years ago)

Please please please someone tape it for me!

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 30 March 2007 12:34 (nineteen years ago)

I am hoping the webbernet will provide

― Ed, Friday, 30 March 2007 12:35 (nineteen years ago)

I'm hoping I don't forget it's on!

― Tom D., Friday, 30 March 2007 12:37 (nineteen years ago)

oldskool

― Ed, Friday, 30 March 2007 12:38 (nineteen years ago)

"Hawkwind tonight....in a boring meeting argh" haha

― Pashmina, Friday, 30 March 2007 12:38 (nineteen years ago)

Hello everyone. I went to a great gig last night and ended up playing (two notes) with Quack Quack. Yay!

― emil.y, Friday, 30 March 2007 12:38 (nineteen years ago)

Oh yeah, almost did!

― Mark G, Friday, 30 March 2007 12:38 (nineteen years ago)

Yes, but which two notes, emily?

(We are partial to G and D around these parts.)

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 30 March 2007 12:40 (nineteen years ago)

Hmm, you know, I think it might have been G and D. One of them was D. I do like a D.

My favourite chord is F#minor.

― emil.y, Friday, 30 March 2007 12:42 (nineteen years ago)

D min, Amin, Gmaj, Amin7

― Pashmina, Friday, 30 March 2007 12:43 (nineteen years ago)

don't forget the C, we like that too.

― Ed, Friday, 30 March 2007 12:43 (nineteen years ago)

F#m is a lovely chord. I haven't used it lately, though!

We've been experimenting a bit with C, though, as apparently it's easy to play on a mandolin. And throwing in a bit of Bflat to make a C7 or something.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 30 March 2007 12:44 (nineteen years ago)

Lunch over. I need to get my head down and do some proper hard coding. Oh, how boring. Ah well, I'll put Easter Everywhere on the headphones and everything will be OK.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 30 March 2007 12:46 (nineteen years ago)

E! Motorik folks!!!!!!

― Tom D., Friday, 30 March 2007 12:46 (nineteen years ago)

E is too difficult to sing in! Just where my range cuts out at the top and breaks between head and chest at the bottom. Always drop E songs (heh) down to D.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 30 March 2007 12:48 (nineteen years ago)

I don't like 7ths. They confuse me. I do kind of *know* how to play a 7, but I always have to check that I'm doing it right, and then it still sounds bum.

― emil.y, Friday, 30 March 2007 12:49 (nineteen years ago)

(that's our excuse every time we do a slightly dischordant harmony - I mean, we specialise in bum harmonies, but one that is actually noticably odd - we're hitting the 7th, maaaan! Actually, on "I'm Not Afraid" the 7th sounds quite good, though.)

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 30 March 2007 12:51 (nineteen years ago)

I love those Neil Young chords, I don't know how you describe, like an F with an open (top) E, and the C with the added, uhhhhhhhhh, hold on....

― Tom D., Friday, 30 March 2007 12:52 (nineteen years ago)

The C with the added... D I think?

― Tom D., Friday, 30 March 2007 12:54 (nineteen years ago)

Ooh, is that a Ninth?

Ninths and Sixths are, like, the most post-rock of all chords.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 30 March 2007 12:55 (nineteen years ago)

I'm prolly describing it wrong, it's not weird or nuthin'

― Tom D., Friday, 30 March 2007 12:56 (nineteen years ago)

It's total Neil Young

― Tom D., Friday, 30 March 2007 12:56 (nineteen years ago)

Like Pete Townshend with his Sus4!!

― Tom D., Friday, 30 March 2007 12:57 (nineteen years ago)

Well, a perfect octave is an Eighth, so one up from that is a Ninth. C -> D (provided you put it up in the octave above, otherwise it would be a horribly dischordant 2nd) - it's not weird, it's just used a lot in post-rock.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 30 March 2007 12:57 (nineteen years ago)

It has a kind of drone quality

― Tom D., Friday, 30 March 2007 12:58 (nineteen years ago)

Taking requests for friday cookies..

hey all

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Friday, 30 March 2007 13:01 (nineteen years ago)

E! Motorik folks!!!!!!

Tom D.

E drone, the hawkwind chord, is awesome, it's true.

Amin7 is great on clean guitar & sounds good after a Dmin. It's just a basic Amin shape, but you don't fret the G string. (anyone who makes joke abt "g string" gets permabanned haha j/k)

― Pashmina, Friday, 30 March 2007 13:02 (nineteen years ago)

... that's another Neil Young favourite

― Tom D., Friday, 30 March 2007 13:04 (nineteen years ago)

I should drop D-tune (heh) my guitar so I can play the Hawkwind drone in a key I can actually sing in.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 30 March 2007 13:06 (nineteen years ago)

Like the Velvets and Metallica!

― Tom D., Friday, 30 March 2007 13:11 (nineteen years ago)

Fuckin' zappa obsessives. God.

― Pashmina, Friday, 30 March 2007 13:32 (nineteen years ago)

(not refering to anything on ilx here...)

― Pashmina, Friday, 30 March 2007 13:34 (nineteen years ago)

"well you're not a fan, you won't understand it..."

― Pashmina, Friday, 30 March 2007 13:34 (nineteen years ago)

What jokes about titties are you not understanding?

― Tom D., Friday, 30 March 2007 13:35 (nineteen years ago)

Early Zappa was awesome.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Friday, 30 March 2007 13:36 (nineteen years ago)

Haha, it's not that. It's the "great classical composer of the 20th century" thing. WTF. TS "the yellow shark" & "perfect stranger" vs the entire works of, say messaien, prokifiev and shostakovich.

― Pashmina, Friday, 30 March 2007 13:37 (nineteen years ago)

he had his moments.

― Pashmina, Friday, 30 March 2007 13:38 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, that's total bollocks

― Tom D., Friday, 30 March 2007 13:38 (nineteen years ago)

Let me take ya to the empty place in mah FIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRE ENNNNNNN-GINNNNNNNNNE!!!!

God, one more team's targets down, 14 to go. I've got it down so it's not so painful, but my god, it's tedious and time-consuming.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 30 March 2007 13:43 (nineteen years ago)
