Kate, I have searched these things up and it is friday the 13th of April. Are HDIF going to be in for a shock?

Are butcher Boy's army of loyal fans going to make tickets difficult to come by on the night?

― Ed, Friday, 9 March 2007 10:57 (nineteen years ago)

Are butcher Boy's ~~army of loyal fans~~ axis of tweevil going to make tickets difficult to come by on the night?

― Ed, Friday, 9 March 2007 10:58 (nineteen years ago)

I'm not at all surprised that Cats on Fire are Finnish.
"so how do you cope with it being dark 24-7 in winter?"
"We sit around. We drink vodka. And we set cats on fire".

I'm sorry that was mean, I will go away and beat myself with bunnies.

― Ed, Friday, 9 March 2007 11:13 (nineteen years ago)

Oh dear. I don't know how people are going to react to SCIV. We still sound like Stereolab, though, so it is not a lie! You just really have to be more of a girl at the next gig. We may make you wear a dress.

Yes, sleeeeepy me. Mmmm, curry and ricey pilaffy thing and summer salad and PIIIIEEEEEE!!!

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 March 2007 11:19 (nineteen years ago)

PIE = PAH (but a good PAH) based on last night.

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 9 March 2007 11:20 (nineteen years ago)

We may make you wear a dress

a kilt?

Asia refers to Johnney B as 'the man who dresses like a Scottish man'.

― Grandpont Genie, Friday, 9 March 2007 11:21 (nineteen years ago)

I could go for this look

― Ed, Friday, 9 March 2007 11:22 (nineteen years ago)

That is not a dress, those are the robes of a psychedelic monk!

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 March 2007 11:40 (nineteen years ago)

It's not even that is isactually bifurcated in a trousorial way. They are japanese sword fighting trousers, designed to conceal the movements of the legs from your enemies.

― Ed, Friday, 9 March 2007 11:42 (nineteen years ago)

'bifurcated in a trousorial way' - roffle to the max!

― Grandpont Genie, Friday, 9 March 2007 11:43 (nineteen years ago)

"bifurcated in a trousorial way" will clearly be the next Shimura Curves album.

SHOES OF THE FUTURE - Trousers of the Past!

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 March 2007 11:44 (nineteen years ago)

prolly not a good idea for Ed to wear a kilt onstage as then reviewers would start saying 'early Spandau Ballet' rather than 'Stereolab'.

― Grandpont Genie, Friday, 9 March 2007 11:44 (nineteen years ago)

Maaan, I've kind of got the fear about the twee kids' reaction to SCIV. I mean, even the last time we played HDIF we were clearly a little bit too ... out there from some of the regulars. Half of me thinks we should reign in the Hawkwindisms and the Delia Derbyshireisms, but the other half of me thinks we should REALLY PLAY UP ON IT AND BLOW THEIR MINDS!!!

We'll never be invited back, mind you. And I like the Luminaire.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 March 2007 11:47 (nineteen years ago)

Is that a dress?
I'm in distress
It's uncanny, so unmanly
This band is not my band
And I am failing to understand

No, fear not, don't leave us yet
We'll perform, you won't forget
These are the garments of the shogun
If you can understand this notion

Bifurcated in a trousorial way
For this is a mysterious day
They're wholly bifurcated in a trousorial way
Looking so smart, not in disarray

― Grandpont Genie, Friday, 9 March 2007 11:49 (nineteen years ago)

There are other promoters at the Luminaire.

― Ed, Friday, 9 March 2007 11:51 (nineteen years ago)

Hey, that's really good. Do you want to join the band? ;-)

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 March 2007 11:51 (nineteen years ago)

I don't think I have the capacity to look twee.

― Ed, Friday, 9 March 2007 11:53 (nineteen years ago)

I can visualise the song as starting with a bit of vocoder or maybe (perhaps better) ppl singing as if using a vocoder!

Bi-bi-bi bifurcated
Bi-bi-bi bifurcated
Bi-bi-bi bifurcated
Bi-bi-bi bifurcated

Occasionally I have written humorous songs (or rather, songs I've thought humorous). I even went as far as buying a microphone with the aim of recording them on tape so I didn't forget them, but didn't get round to it.

― Grandpont Genie, Friday, 9 March 2007 11:55 (nineteen years ago)

Rein in, not Reign in, ha ha ha.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 March 2007 11:55 (nineteen years ago)

The last verse could definitely be done wizard blew his horn style

― Ed, Friday, 9 March 2007 11:56 (nineteen years ago)

I can report that Johnney's hair is looking a bit like that these days!

― Grandpont Genie, Friday, 9 March 2007 11:57 (nineteen years ago)

It's going to be a long Friday, isn't it?

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 March 2007 12:14 (nineteen years ago)

I really want chocolate. And coffee and all sorts of bad things. But after seeing that photo on Ed's flickr I'm convinced I should never eat again. :-(

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 March 2007 12:16 (nineteen years ago)

feels like it. I am knackered and we have the big servers on in the corners so it sounds like the inside of an airliner in here, which is very wearing.

― Ed, Friday, 9 March 2007 12:16 (nineteen years ago)

Nah, you should sit up straight and not slouch, which not possible on my sofa.

― Ed, Friday, 9 March 2007 12:17 (nineteen years ago)

No, it's the size of my thunder thighs which struck chords of doom in mine heart.

We've got the windows open in the office which is making it impossible to concentrate. One day off, and I've forgotten everything that I was working on. I should just put on some Krautrock and get my head down.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 March 2007 12:24 (nineteen years ago)

If you are playing in front of the axis of tweevil
Then play a full on white noise set that will make them deaf and unable to listen to twee so they can't annoy Ed anymore.

I USED TO LOVE BELLE & SEBASTIAN , PIPETTES ,TALULAH GOSH AND BUNNYGRUNT UNTIL SHIMURA CURVES MADE ME DEAF

That would make an ace t-shirt slogan. Albeit a long one. You could have multiple shirts though with one of each band.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Friday, 9 March 2007 12:33 (nineteen years ago)

Oh and car stickers too

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Friday, 9 March 2007 12:33 (nineteen years ago)

ROFL

They won't annoy me and there will be a higher proportion of girls and I can steal all the boys' lunch money.

― Ed, Friday, 9 March 2007 12:34 (nineteen years ago)

FMM and I should go onstage wearing CAPES. Doom Metal Capes. No, actually, more like KLF capes.

Or just go onstage with a machine gun and blow the tweekids away:

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 March 2007 12:37 (nineteen years ago)

And pick holes in their cardigans?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Friday, 9 March 2007 12:37 (nineteen years ago)

Frances "Doom Metal Cape" Morgan?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Friday, 9 March 2007 12:38 (nineteen years ago)

We should probably update our MySpace. Ed, who are your favourite mandolin players?

I'm gonna take out all the bands I never heard of that AMP put in.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 March 2007 12:39 (nineteen years ago)

Favourite mandolin players:

Jon Boden
Spiers and Boden
Bellowhead
Hackensaw Boys
Waterson:Carthy
Eliza Carthy

should all be friendable

― Ed, Friday, 9 March 2007 12:41 (nineteen years ago)

Make sure Gareth comes to this one so he can perve over the indie girls.

Sorry, I've been perving over Bill Drummond again...

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 March 2007 12:41 (nineteen years ago)

Can we have her in our band?

Hey - I'll chase Atilla about Glastonwick. Sorry, I forgot that we'd asked about whether the bill was full. Will chase him via Jeff.

― Dr.C, Friday, 9 March 2007 12:46 (nineteen years ago)

Forgot Joe Dolce in the favourite mandolin player list

― Tom D., Friday, 9 March 2007 12:47 (nineteen years ago)

OK, I'll put some of those bands up. Not Atilla the Stockbroker, though. Sorry.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 March 2007 12:50 (nineteen years ago)

I'm really debating putting "Yes" up there to wind up Frances. ;-)

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 March 2007 12:54 (nineteen years ago)

I like the fact Kate is outting Mingus up with no complaints. I KNEW SHE LIKED THAT ALBUM REALLY!

ps kate did you get any albums in your email this morning? I get the feeling sendspace notification isnt working.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Friday, 9 March 2007 12:55 (nineteen years ago)

I did not even think Mingus worth a mention. So clearly NO.

No, I didn't get any albums this morning. I don't think.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 March 2007 12:56 (nineteen years ago)

Kate Check this

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Friday, 9 March 2007 12:58 (nineteen years ago)

I was talking about that Mingus album the other night, it speeds up in places, and that NEVER happens in jazz!

― Tom D., Friday, 9 March 2007 12:59 (nineteen years ago)

For many women Jane Austen's appeal is encapsulated in two words: Mr Darcy.

Dismissive bullshit. The appeal of Austen goes way beyond perving over any specific one of her heroes.

In fact, it's far more often the identification with the female characters, so perfectly and wittily drawn that makes readers love Austen.

There is no poverty in her novels, no corruption, ambition, wickedness or war.

Are you kidding? Have you ever actually read an Austen novel? Just because she doesn't rub it in blatantly does not mean that these things are not simmering below the surface. Hello, Mansfield Park? The cautionary tale of what happened to Colonel Brandon's former lover?

Ugh, I can't even finish reading the article.

Though the coming glut of modern Austen adaptations is a bit much.
