one of my mates' (or mate's, both work) sisters used to run the publishing company that published Mark Manning's books. Don't know what it was called; it was based in Brighton and I think it has closed down now.

I can send Marnie Stern cookies people ;)

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Friday, 9 March 2007 15:19 (nineteen years ago)

MARNIE STERN, MARNIE STERN, WHY DOES EVERYONE IN THE WORLD NOT BOW DOWN BEFORE YOU AND WORSHIP AT YOUR FEET?!?!?!? You wanna talk Shangri-Las fronting Hawkwind? Fuck YEAH!!!!

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 March 2007 15:20 (nineteen years ago)

I thought I had got that into my iPod at lunch, but it does not apear to be after marky and XRS where it should be.

― Ed, Friday, 9 March 2007 15:20 (nineteen years ago)

Marnie Stern = what Shimura Curves would probably sound like if Emsk started playing drums for us. After we ate the carrot cake. I haven't heard this since the last time I was round FMM's and I had forgotten how YES!!! YES!!! YES!!!! it was.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 March 2007 15:22 (nineteen years ago)

Gosh, I've hardly been on ILX at all lately. I just keep popping onto the 'cooler to say "hello! I'm FP!" and vanishing again.

Hello! Afternoon! It's one of those lazy nothing-much-happening Friday afternoons here. I am supposed to be sending an All Staff Email about the stupid legal disclaimers we're adding to our emails from Monday - I installed the infrastructure for that, MimeDefang on top of sendmail, and I'm not proud - but my boss hasn't signed it off yet.

Can we return to this slogan.

I hope it's for charity or something.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 March 2007 15:38 (nineteen years ago)

Anyway, let's do a Hawkwind cover at the HDIF gig. I just want to see the jaws drop.

Can I turn that slogan into a badge?

― Ed, Friday, 9 March 2007 15:41 (nineteen years ago)

Gahhh, I'm trying to d/l some Marnie Stern now, but it's being stupidly slow. You should definitely do Hawkwind - back before we had a drummer & flautist we used to swap instruments & dick around in the practice rooms playing 'Silver Machine'.

― emil.y, Friday, 9 March 2007 15:42 (nineteen years ago)

Where are you based, emil.y?

― Ed, Friday, 9 March 2007 15:42 (nineteen years ago)

I once played bass on a soundcheck of "Silver Machine" at the Barrowlands - not with Hawkwind unfortunately!

― Tom D., Friday, 9 March 2007 15:43 (nineteen years ago)

I'm in Nottingham (UK, obviously).

― emil.y, Friday, 9 March 2007 15:45 (nineteen years ago)

do you have myspace, emil.y?

― Grandpont Genie, Friday, 9 March 2007 15:47 (nineteen years ago)

Aye

― emil.y, Friday, 9 March 2007 15:48 (nineteen years ago)

I am formulating a plan. I need to talk to some lynchpins but I think I can work out a good weekend for all of those who want to space rock out like it's 1972.

― Ed, Friday, 9 March 2007 15:55 (nineteen years ago)

Oh, I thought we were MySpace friends already, emil.y but I have just friended you.

Ed, I kinda don't want to reinforce any kind of associations with the P1p3tt3e$, even just joking ones.

I did actually block out the backing sequence for a cover of Silver Machine, but was never allowed to play it, except once before soundcheck at the Spiral Scratch gig. Thing is, I don't actually think that most tweekids would get a Hawkwind cover, even if it was something obvious.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 March 2007 15:56 (nineteen years ago)

So no polkadot dress for me then?

― Ed, Friday, 9 March 2007 15:58 (nineteen years ago)

Friends! Oh, I feel so popular. I love you all!

― emil.y, Friday, 9 March 2007 15:58 (nineteen years ago)

ACtually, Ed in a polkadot dress would be SOOO funny that it might just be OK. Alright, maybe we can come out dressed all in matching twee polkadot dresses and come out and do some fingersnaps and some handclaps and dancing in unison, then suddenly launch into MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE and rip off our polkadot dresses to reveal silver spacesuits!

Or, erm, something.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 March 2007 16:01 (nineteen years ago)

What you need are some trousers like these:

― Tom D., Friday, 9 March 2007 16:03 (nineteen years ago)

That images seems not to work.

― Ed, Friday, 9 March 2007 16:04 (nineteen years ago)

Those are very small trousers.

Now we have to play Nottingham, so that we can get emil.y onstage on rockenspiel and welding goggles. ;-)

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 March 2007 16:05 (nineteen years ago)

Try again:

― Tom D., Friday, 9 March 2007 16:05 (nineteen years ago)

Bah!

― Tom D., Friday, 9 March 2007 16:05 (nineteen years ago)

emil.y youre on last fm arent you? I can send you some marnie stern "cookies" there if you want

and ed, those badges would rule.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Friday, 9 March 2007 16:07 (nineteen years ago)

Dada, that's non-linkable, just post the link for the whole page the photo is on.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 March 2007 16:08 (nineteen years ago)

You could come play at my mum's house, so I could get my cat to play synthesizer...

― emil.y, Friday, 9 March 2007 16:08 (nineteen years ago)

Yes, but will your cat play THE SYMPHONY OF SPACE?!?!? ;-)

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 March 2007 16:09 (nineteen years ago)

Ta-dah!

― Tom D., Friday, 9 March 2007 16:09 (nineteen years ago)

YESSSSSS....

― emil.y, Friday, 9 March 2007 16:10 (nineteen years ago)

Erm, that was to the Symphony of Space thing... but it'll do in answer to those trousers too.

― emil.y, Friday, 9 March 2007 16:10 (nineteen years ago)

Ohmigod, those are the best trousers ever! We should all wear them! And beards like that.

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

i basically have those in all black (see above).

― Ed, Friday, 9 March 2007 16:25 (nineteen years ago)

emil.y check your last fm messages.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Friday, 9 March 2007 16:26 (nineteen years ago)

The other possiblity is the trousers Gene Clark's wearing on the back of "No Other"... they're startling

― Tom D., Friday, 9 March 2007 16:29 (nineteen years ago)

Oh, wonderful, thank you. I'd better be off as I have to go meet the mister at the pub in a bit. After never really having looked in the watercooler threads before, they do strike me as a nice place to be. I'll be back...

― emil.y, Friday, 9 March 2007 16:29 (nineteen years ago)

Kate> did you get the new young gods album? Salaryman? Baikal?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Friday, 9 March 2007 16:32 (nineteen years ago)

Excellent, I hope you hang around, emil.y!

Kerr, dude, I can only listen to one album at a time! I am still on Marnie Stern, and will get to Salaryman later.

It really helps if you give me a little description of what they sound like.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 March 2007 16:34 (nineteen years ago)

Then it's not a surprise!!! (you liked Trans Am , yeah? That's a clue)

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Friday, 9 March 2007 16:35 (nineteen years ago)

They are actually in a better known full time band. They once recorded with Albini and I believe they did have an album out in the late 80s on Creation.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Friday, 9 March 2007 16:36 (nineteen years ago)

The new Young Gods and Holy McGrail albums are excellent.

Holy McGrail was in T.C. Lethbridge, right?

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 March 2007 16:47 (nineteen years ago)

I didn't get any of that. :-(

We forgot to play Ned T.C. Lethbridge last night - unless you played it after I left? Or did you just get sucked in the Mighty Boosh?

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 March 2007 16:48 (nineteen years ago)

Probably. He has collaborated with Soma (stephen o'malley, julian cope and loads more)
He's also part of Slomo.
Check those dvdrs for Holy McGrail and Slomo. I'm sure I put them on.
