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.

He never heard it, I have to do the thing we don't talk about with some other cookies so I will add that as well.

We did paly some more tunes between episode, but I can't remember what, I fell asleep during the spirit of Jazz.

― Ed, Friday, 9 March 2007 16:50 (nineteen years ago)

ok! now i can ponce around on the interweb! the ticketperson came back...

― emsk, Friday, 9 March 2007 16:58 (nineteen years ago)

I didn't put them on the dvdrs? Damn I thought I did

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Friday, 9 March 2007 16:59 (nineteen years ago)

God, I wish you'd made me an index for the DVDs... finding anything is nearly impossible. Shall look under H and Mc.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 March 2007 17:00 (nineteen years ago)

and Slomo

they could be on any of them though

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Friday, 9 March 2007 17:01 (nineteen years ago)

I KNOW!!!

Actually, the first 3 or 4 are in alphabetical order. Yes, Holy McGrail is on disc 3. Phew.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 March 2007 17:03 (nineteen years ago)

Not too bad then. Slomo probably won't be beside it though.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Friday, 9 March 2007 17:05 (nineteen years ago)

Curses, I am stuck in the office for a while.

― Ed, Friday, 9 March 2007 17:08 (nineteen years ago)

Marnie Stern gets described as Deerhoof meets Hella. I love Hella, but I never liked deerhoof.
Hella meets Melt Banana sounds more like it1

Kate on those dvdrs did i send you Crime In Choir? I hope I did. You wold love that.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Friday, 9 March 2007 17:09 (nineteen years ago)

Deerhoof? eh? Do you know what it sounds like to me? Like "Crunching Down On The Skull Of A Newt" by Chrome Hoof played at 45.

Anyway, I like Holy McGrail, quite predictably.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 March 2007 17:16 (nineteen years ago)

Saved by a SATA RAID controller.

― Ed, Friday, 9 March 2007 17:23 (nineteen years ago)

I thought you would like Holy McGrail. And If it's there, I'm sure you will like Crime In Choir.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Friday, 9 March 2007 17:25 (nineteen years ago)

He = teh cuet, as well. Aaaah, dirty dronerock boys. Does Copey just keep a collection of them?

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 March 2007 17:27 (nineteen years ago)

[Removed Illegal Link] You can see what music you have in common.

Your musical compatibility rating with McGrailia is:
Super

You share many artists in common, including Melvins, Boris, Six Organs of Admittance, Funkadelic, and EARTH.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Friday, 9 March 2007 17:29 (nineteen years ago)

What's the real link?

Unless it's some kind of last.fm thing in which case I can't do it. :-(

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 March 2007 17:34 (nineteen years ago)

http://www.last.fm/user/McGrailia/

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Friday, 9 March 2007 17:34 (nineteen years ago)

you can browse his charts top artists and have a look though and see

http://www.last.fm/user/McGrailia/charts/?charttype=overall&subtype=artist

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Friday, 9 March 2007 17:35 (nineteen years ago)

Ha ha, see that's the thing, any musicians' top chart is going to be themselves, because you spend so much time listening to yr rough mixes and stuff in iTunes.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 March 2007 17:37 (nineteen years ago)

Whoa, one of the weirdest things about last.fm is being able to see that people still listen to bands you used to be in years and years ago. Wargh!

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 March 2007 17:41 (nineteen years ago)

Is anyone at all going to see the Lee Shores at Night of the Long Swords tomorrow? It's on Old Street, under El Paso. I tend to get teh ph34r about going all that way on mine own on a Saturday night. I'll go to the Windmill by myself, but going all the way to Old Street by myself, ooh, I might stay home and make drones in my living room.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 March 2007 17:56 (nineteen years ago)

Would come if I were here.

Kick me about photocopying the camp calendar for you.

― Ed, Friday, 9 March 2007 17:58 (nineteen years ago)

How many bands on his list did you like then, Kate?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Friday, 9 March 2007 18:17 (nineteen years ago)

Quite a few.

OK, this weekend I am setting myself the task of making basic Krautrock compilations for Ed and Joe.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 March 2007 18:24 (nineteen years ago)

Soap Shop Rock, Mother Sky, Hero, Viva?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Friday, 9 March 2007 18:32 (nineteen years ago)

Also, I've got to figure out something to eat for lunch next week which is NOT curry.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 March 2007 18:37 (nineteen years ago)

Anyway, I'm off. Have a good weekend.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 March 2007 18:40 (nineteen years ago)

YEAH YEAH we do not have to move out of our house hurrah! the lovely landlady is gonna rent a room in her flat upstairs to the brazilian's friend so we can still all live together. i am ridicuously happy about this and have spent the past 3 hours starting to (yesh... starting to... i am v messy) tidy my room as a result. yeeha!

― emsk, Saturday, 10 March 2007 15:30 (nineteen years ago)

and Lovely Work want me all week next week and half of the next one yay...

― emsk, Saturday, 10 March 2007 15:38 (nineteen years ago)

Eating oranges, an exchange:

Me: It'd be great if all fruits were named after their color, like oranges. A banana would just be called a yellow.
K: What would pears be called?
Me: Um....goldens
K: What about yellow apples?
Me: Yellows, of course.
K: But what about bananas?
Me: Dammit.

― G00blar, Saturday, 10 March 2007 21:17 (nineteen years ago)

obviously the colours should be named after the fruits. you got the orange the wrong way around!

― emsk, Sunday, 11 March 2007 00:31 (nineteen years ago)

Hullo all. Am back in California.

― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 11 March 2007 15:13 (nineteen years ago)

That was quick.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Sunday, 11 March 2007 15:37 (nineteen years ago)

Actually longer than a straight flight would have been (had to go through Dallas), but I'm not home home, just in SF at my sister's place.

― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 11 March 2007 15:39 (nineteen years ago)

Getting looked after with meals and drinks I hope!

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Sunday, 11 March 2007 16:12 (nineteen years ago)

K: You know, when I eat bagels I kind of think that you are the chosen people.

― G00blar, Monday, 12 March 2007 00:03 (nineteen years ago)

morning! GOD, dhl are a bunch of USELESS FUCKWITS.

― emsk, Monday, 12 March 2007 09:03 (nineteen years ago)

Morning. Last week the watercooler was well behaved and no arguments, let's hope it lasts!

What's DHL done now?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Monday, 12 March 2007 09:16 (nineteen years ago)

This weekend was awesome, again.

Drinking with Ned etc. was great, great to meet you Dr C. Colonel Poo, etc. etc. Only saw TISSP on the road after I left.

I turned up at camp very merry and got stuck into the Gin, port, ale and found the bottle of Rye I'd lost 2 weekends ago. Stumbled to bed, did something that I am slightly ashamed of, but no harm done.

Woke up drunk and worked all day with J. and we had a good long catchup. Had a nap later on and somehow revived to do it all again.

Left early because I had to come into the office and then joined the rolling walkers for the last bit of the walk before having a swift one in the Flask with some other friends.

Missions for this week, order pickup mando from David K.

Work out what it was that Emsk and I wanted to do on saturday, besides cycling. (Kate, you may also have been involved in this plan, but neither of us can remember what it was)

Go to Belgium and chill the fuck out for a couple of days.

― Ed, Monday, 12 March 2007 09:44 (nineteen years ago)

Saturday? What were we going to do Saturday? Box Hill? I can't remember either. Nothing written in my diary.

Blargh, I've had a long weekend of REST. Which was obviously much needed. Saturday I decided not to go to NOTLS so that I could be nice and rested up for the walk on Sunday, so I stayed in bed and read the newspaper and then read about the Black Death in Scotland and started City of Quartz as well. Oh, I managed to make a Krautrock comp which balances the well known and the slightly obscured, I hope. Will send that over shortly to Ed and J.

Sunday I woke up and felt awful, but staggered to the train station anyway to find that there were no trains. Tried to get a bus but had to wait for ages for one, then when I got on it, it went out of service early. Got on another one, and that one waited for hours at the top of Streatham Hill while they changed drivers. So in the end it took me 45 minutes to get from my house to Brixton and at that point I was feeling so exhausted and crampy from period that I just turned around and went back to bed. I'm sorry, I hope the walk was good anyway.

Spent another few hours sleeping then got up and started working on the Elektrickometheorie track - after a couple of minutes it sounded so much like The Spangle Maker that I decided to just turn it into a cover. My poor neighbours.

What on earth can one do in bed to be ashamed of? Wetting the sheets?

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 12 March 2007 10:17 (nineteen years ago)

Shame may be the last vestiges of winter blowing away. I may tell, but not in a message board and not in the light.

― Ed, Monday, 12 March 2007 10:35 (nineteen years ago)

I looked at Holy McGrail's myspace, and I find it impossible to believe that I have not met him at some point.

― Ed, Monday, 12 March 2007 10:37 (nineteen years ago)

Kate & G00blar - this is what I was wibbling about trying out on Friday

Fender Esquire

It says how the switching works - what they describe as 'more top-end sparkle', I'd call 'the sound of civilisations crumbling' .

― Dr.C, Monday, 12 March 2007 10:44 (nineteen years ago)

"Top end sparkle" ha ha ha ha ha. OK, I could do with some of that.

But my next guitar is not going to be another Fender.

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 12 March 2007 10:50 (nineteen years ago)

Also, I have ended up with someone else's headphones, same as mine, but much less old and debilitated and I have fallen in love with them all over again. Bass is all tight and punchy, subtly reinforced, everything clear.

― Ed, Monday, 12 March 2007 10:59 (nineteen years ago)

OK, this comp is just too big to be sent in one go, so it's coming in two parts. Bloody krautrock songs, all 10 minutes long.

Track listing, for those of you who want to complain WHY DID YOU PUT *THAT* IN... and want to complain about omissions etc.

1) Hallogallo - NEU!
2) Ruckzuck - Kraftwerk
3) Pinch - Can
4) Deluxe (Immer Weider) - Harmonia
5) Surrounded by the Stars - Amon Duul 2
6) Krautrock - Faust
7) Next Time See You At The Dalai - Guru Guru
8) La Dusseldorf - La Dusseldorf
9) Hero - NEU!
10) She Brings The Rain - Can

(Yeah, I should have put on Mother Sky or Halleluwah instead of Pinch, but those songs are both, like 20 minutes long!)

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 12 March 2007 11:12 (nineteen years ago)

Hurrah, I can listen to this as I speed through Vlaanderen.

― Ed, Monday, 12 March 2007 11:15 (nineteen years ago)

Yes, perfect for driving or listening to on a train. Especially if the landscape is very flat and monotonous.

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 12 March 2007 11:17 (nineteen years ago)

I predict you will like Can and Amon Duul best, mainly because the Amon Duul track features what appears to be a banjo solo. (Please correct me if I'm wrong, Dada.)
