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. :-(

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.

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.

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:

And pick holes in their cardigans?

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

Frances "Doom Metal Cape" Morgan?

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:

Dave Swarbrick
Chris Hillman
Andy Irvine

― Tom D., Friday, 9 March 2007 12:40 (nineteen years ago)

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?

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 March 2007 12:44 (nineteen years ago)

iLIKEtRAINS
Corb Lund
Charles Mingus

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.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 March 2007 13:05 (nineteen years ago)

OK, I am officially sick to the back teeth of curry now. I've had it for lunch every day this week, plus for supper as well two days this week. And I want no more.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 March 2007 13:19 (nineteen years ago)

Enjoy those albums everyone that received them. Pass em on to anyone.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Friday, 9 March 2007 13:20 (nineteen years ago)

OK, I listened to that Can bootleg and, reporting back, this what it appears to consist of:

1. Father Cannot Yell - different (but not much) mix of the opening track on "Monster Movie"

2. Pnoom(h) 1 - same as "Pnoom" on "Delay 1968"

3. Little Star of Bethlehem - full length version of the track on "Delay 1968" (also apparently Holger Czukay's favourite Can track!)

4. Melting Away - this was released as a bonus track on the CD reissue of the "Cannibalism" compilation, don't know if this is the same version

5. (My) Connection - same as "Connection" on "Unlimited Edition"

6. She Brings the Rain - different (sparser) version of the track on "Soundtracks"

7. Outside My Door - different (slower) version of the track on "Monster Movie"

8. Pnoom(h) 2 - different mix (maybe?) of one of the "E.F.S." tracks on "Unlimited Edition"

9. Greyhounds Greyhound - different mix (with inaudible guitar) of "Uphill" from "Delay 1968". The 4 minutes of speeded-up/backwards tape stuff at the end is definitely not Can! There's a bit that sounds like Quicksilver Messenger Service or something like that and another bit that is "I Want You Right Now" by MC5! Maybe that's what the Can guys were listening to in 1969! Or maybe not...

So... good to have the "Little Star of Bethlehem", "She Brings the Rain", "Outside My Door"...

― Tom D., Friday, 9 March 2007 13:22 (nineteen years ago)

I just sent you some crumhorn infused stuff.

― Ed, Friday, 9 March 2007 13:23 (nineteen years ago)

Outside My Door was awesome.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Friday, 9 March 2007 13:25 (nineteen years ago)

Malcolm Mooney is God

― Tom D., Friday, 9 March 2007 13:26 (nineteen years ago)

I like Drummond - have you read '45'? I can really recommend it.

― Grandpont Genie, Friday, 9 March 2007 13:28 (nineteen years ago)

Hi all. Got my captain jack coat through the post today, it's awesome. Also makes me look 10ft tall and feel bullet-proof.

― The Wayward Johnny B, Friday, 9 March 2007 13:29 (nineteen years ago)

...and a lot better than looking like Rab C Nesbitt, no doubt ;)

― Grandpont Genie, Friday, 9 March 2007 13:34 (nineteen years ago)

The things Ed sends are always so mysterious! No title on the file. Could be anything. BETTER NOT BE JAZZ.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 March 2007 13:41 (nineteen years ago)

"I think she betrays her time and I'm always gob smacked by what she ignored," says Celia Brayfield, author and lecturer at Brunel University. "She focused on such a narrow strain of human reality. Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't the Napoleonic War going on at the time when she was writing, she doesn't mention it."

I think Celia Brayfield betrays her time and I'm always gob smacked by what she ignores. She focuses on such a narrow strain on human reality, only talking about Jane Austen! Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the war in Iraq going on at the time when she was writing? She doesn't mention it.

― G00blar, Friday, 9 March 2007 13:45 (nineteen years ago)

Also, lol at "ex-editor of Nuts magazine" being the only sane commentator on JANE BLOODY AUSTEN.

― G00blar, Friday, 9 March 2007 13:46 (nineteen years ago)

Also, Austen certainly mentions the war, but the way that a civilian would have experienced it - massing of soldiers (and officers!!!) along the South Coast. The knowledge of it certainly informs and affects many of the actions.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 March 2007 13:47 (nineteen years ago)

hellos! it r lunchtime! what did i miss?

― emsk, Friday, 9 March 2007 14:02 (nineteen years ago)

Nothing. Everything R boring today. :-(

Where are you working today? Any pop stars ring up yet?

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 March 2007 14:03 (nineteen years ago)

we just had someone shout "FREE CRISPS!" coz, lo, and (probably) behold, there is a big cardboard fuck-off box chock-full of bags of Walkers Salt & Vinegar in the kitchen!

Stampede!

― Grandpont Genie, Friday, 9 March 2007 14:04 (nineteen years ago)

i am workin at The Lovely Place

am gonna be on my oooooown all afternoon cos they're all off to some industry schmoozefest an an hour or so

― emsk, Friday, 9 March 2007 14:05 (nineteen years ago)

You missed some sendspaces. I don't have your email but Kate can pass em along if you're interested.
Or if anyone else wants them then tell me your email addys.

Maybe we could have a sendspace tree. And everyone who wants in on it can be and we just send it all to one another (though sendspace notification seems to be buggered, but it can just be sent by email once album is uploaded)

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Friday, 9 March 2007 14:09 (nineteen years ago)

Now you know that's getting very close to board-wide why ess aye banned discussion!

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 March 2007 14:11 (nineteen years ago)

I thought it was only actual links that were banned?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Friday, 9 March 2007 14:14 (nineteen years ago)

I don't want to risk it, people already hate the 'Cooler, don't want to give them any excuse to shut it down.

If everyone else is away schmoozing, does that mean you can play on THE INTERWEB all afternoon, Emsk?

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 March 2007 14:17 (nineteen years ago)

Probably best to try and keep mp3 trading out of sight if possible, Kerr. Don't want the riaa landing on ptw.

― Pashmina, Friday, 9 March 2007 14:26 (nineteen years ago)

I understood you up to the point when you said 'Kerr'.

― Grandpont Genie, Friday, 9 March 2007 14:27 (nineteen years ago)

Well then people can leave their emails to sign up for cookie trading then...

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Friday, 9 March 2007 14:29 (nineteen years ago)

Now you've lost me
