You are right about the best ever street name, Dr C. I take visitors to see it specially. The tobacconists is still there, I think, but I dunno about the record shop. They are tearing down the big concrete 1960s frontage to Paragon Station at the moment. Some time I mean to go down to the pier and take photos of the building that was Hull Corporation Pier Station - ie, the British Rail ferry terminal.

― emsk, Monday, 12 March 2007 14:46 (nineteen years ago)

― Dr.C, Monday, 12 March 2007 14:50 (nineteen years ago)

Hello hello hello. I am, regrettably, sick. London gave me the disease, I fear. :-/

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 12 March 2007 14:51 (nineteen years ago)

I will endeavour to bring others. If you can promise a supply of non-short, non-whingy, non-brummie men I may be able to bring at least one more.

― Ed, Monday, 12 March 2007 14:52 (nineteen years ago)

I've given up asking if there will be pointy nosed boys at gigs. The answer is, there will, but none of them will be willing to even talk to me. (Unless, of course, they stumble in by mistake and know no one else in the room, and they can't find any pretty girls to talk to, which nearly shocked me off my chair on Friday night.)

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 12 March 2007 14:59 (nineteen years ago)

Oh why oh why did I read that thread. I knew it was a mistake. I've been so ... calm and content the past week or so. :-(

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 12 March 2007 15:00 (nineteen years ago)

Good. I will try and provide as much total tall non-brummie hotness as possible.

― Dr.C, Monday, 12 March 2007 15:00 (nineteen years ago)

Pretty girls knocked you off your chair?

― Dr.C, Monday, 12 March 2007 15:02 (nineteen years ago)

Hello hello hello. I am, regrettably, sick. London gave me the disease, I fear. :-/

Look what London did to Papa Smurf!

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Monday, 12 March 2007 15:04 (nineteen years ago)

No, the fact that someone actually chose to talk to me (something he never does when there are pretty girls in the room) knocked me off my chair.

Oh fuck it, there's no making a funny out of it. It's time to go and be miserable again.

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 12 March 2007 15:09 (nineteen years ago)

God, this Arcade Fire album is just so boring. I can't get my head around it, it slips off my ears.

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 12 March 2007 15:18 (nineteen years ago)

I have not heard, but I am instantly suspicious of anything that is advertised on the Tube.

― Ed, Monday, 12 March 2007 15:19 (nineteen years ago)

Robitussin!

― Mark G, Monday, 12 March 2007 15:20 (nineteen years ago)

Most of my youthful musical prejudices have gone now, but that one seems to have endured.

― Ed, Monday, 12 March 2007 15:21 (nineteen years ago)

no it is ACES! nonstop anti-capitalist anti-organised-religion anti-consumerist-americanism diatribe all wrapped up in loneliness and drums.

― emsk, Monday, 12 March 2007 15:22 (nineteen years ago)

hmm, can you lend it to me.

― Ed, Monday, 12 March 2007 15:22 (nineteen years ago)

I don't listen to lyrics. And the music is BORING with a capital Blah.

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 12 March 2007 15:24 (nineteen years ago)

They will repair Jazzy, Kate.

The shop is in Hampton Wick, but is only just past Kingston Bridge, and is only 5 mins walk from the shops in Kingston. Or it's right next to Hampton Wick railway station.

It's where they have the Vox hottness, so beware.

― Dr.C, Monday, 12 March 2007 15:31 (nineteen years ago)

Thanks. I probably won't do it until I'm about to have the operation as otherwise I don't think I could go very long without a guitar.

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 12 March 2007 15:32 (nineteen years ago)

James is looking to sell his ovation acoustic.

― Ed, Monday, 12 March 2007 15:34 (nineteen years ago)

Is it a 12-string?

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 12 March 2007 15:34 (nineteen years ago)

Only 6. He prefers his nylon pickup-less one.

― Ed, Monday, 12 March 2007 15:36 (nineteen years ago)

are "ovations" a bit ovine?

― Forest Pines, Monday, 12 March 2007 15:37 (nineteen years ago)

The Arcade Fire album is good!

So are the Salaryman and Young Gods Albums! HURRAH!!!

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Monday, 12 March 2007 15:38 (nineteen years ago)

God, this Arcade Fire album is just so boring. I can't get my head around it, it slips off my ears.

yes, Arcade Fire suffer from Difficult Second Album Syndrome in the way Bloc Party most definitely do not/

The best track by far on the new Arcade Fire is No Cars Go - which I have anyway!

The rest of the songs are monotonous - one thing the vast majority of those on Funeral defintiely aren't.

― Grandpont Genie, Monday, 12 March 2007 15:40 (nineteen years ago)

are "ovations" a bit ovine?

is a standing ovation a sheep on its hind legs?

― Grandpont Genie, Monday, 12 March 2007 15:40 (nineteen years ago)

I don't really see the point of non-12 string acoustics. They just invite the wibble.

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 12 March 2007 15:43 (nineteen years ago)

Also, I'm hungry, which isn't helping matters. That lunch was not adequate. Well, actually, it was, but I've been stuffing myself for the past week - HUUUUGE plate of curry and then free sammiches - that a little tiny portion of lentils just isn't doing it for me. :-(

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 12 March 2007 15:45 (nineteen years ago)

Kate> did i put Black Boned Angel and Birchville cat Motel on your dvdrs?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Monday, 12 March 2007 15:49 (nineteen years ago)

I'm starting to think about buying a jazzmaster myself @ the moment. Help.

― Pashmina, Monday, 12 March 2007 15:50 (nineteen years ago)

Yes. I didn't bring them to work today, though.

OK, I have got to go and get some supplemental food. What can I eat that is not ridiculously junk food?

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 12 March 2007 15:51 (nineteen years ago)

Yoghurt covered flapjacks?

― Mark G, Monday, 12 March 2007 15:51 (nineteen years ago)

Oh man, that Louis ipod ILM thread...

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Monday, 12 March 2007 15:54 (nineteen years ago)

bunnies and flowers, bunnies and flowers

― Ed, Monday, 12 March 2007 15:56 (nineteen years ago)

That Passatino geezer is a real piece of work though.

― Dr.C, Monday, 12 March 2007 15:58 (nineteen years ago)

There is no food available for love nor money around here. Took me half an hour to get a few shreds of salad and a flapjack. :-(

I'm not particularly enamoured of LJ's schtick, but Passatino is a vile excuse for a human being.

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 12 March 2007 16:18 (nineteen years ago)

I'm hungry now.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Monday, 12 March 2007 16:19 (nineteen years ago)

I promised Norman dvdrs ages ago. I really need to start doing them.

Someday.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Monday, 12 March 2007 16:19 (nineteen years ago)

None of it is what I really wanted, which was those little pasta bowties with pine nuts, spinach and mozarella.

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 12 March 2007 16:20 (nineteen years ago)

I ate too late. The headache and the crankiness are not lifting. :-(

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 12 March 2007 16:39 (nineteen years ago)

How much peach beer do you want from belgium?

― Ed, Monday, 12 March 2007 16:40 (nineteen years ago)

Mmmmmm, peach beer. Can you carry about six of them?

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 12 March 2007 16:40 (nineteen years ago)

This hilariously bad album cover should NOT be wasted on the rolling metal thread.

http://www.limb-music.de/gfx/zandelle/cover_hires_vr.jpg
Can someone please photoshop B&S on that instead of the band?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Monday, 12 March 2007 16:40 (nineteen years ago)

Oi! Belgians!

BEER AND FRUIT DO NOT MIX!

― Grandpont Genie, Monday, 12 March 2007 16:41 (nineteen years ago)

But ... but ... but ... Fruli!

― Forest Pines, Monday, 12 March 2007 16:42 (nineteen years ago)

no buts!

― Grandpont Genie, Monday, 12 March 2007 16:42 (nineteen years ago)

That is not a real album cover. Why are the band standing in the corner like wusses, rather than fighting the Beast themselves?

Unless that is the singer or whoever fighting the Beast.

Also, that one fist seems really disproportionate. Who does it belong to?

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 12 March 2007 16:43 (nineteen years ago)
