on BBC World Service today was a cool piece
some interviews with some of the chaps too
http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/programmes/the_beat.shtml
couplea other bands that played
myspace.com/budam
myspace.com/doctorspock
two of my faves from the fest anyway, both on the second stage. I also almost caught a fish, but didn't.
point taken but actually
the weather was excellent for two days over the festival this year, it did change on the Monday for the worse, though.
it was
fucking brilliant. Out of this world, really.
inspirational.
I think there's a Slash biog coming out soon
too, on IMP
sex with animals
by Fuck Face
it's about 2 and a half hours
away from der Dam laaaa
boring journey an all. I played 'spot the hills' last year.
I think I saw about 2.
er...
*cough*
I second that
I'd drop everything to go and work for those crazy guys. Srsly
done digitally
aye
it's been acoustically possible for beards tho init, tho there's all sorts of odd resonant cavities
like Raz
yes
how about this one:
when you buy a pint in the pub where does the money go?
it's not user-generated content
it's copyright content generated by other people.
Don't you think musicians should be paid for their work?
yeah very true!
both shows are archived online tho, ours is at bbc.co.uk/liverpool under 'pure musical sensations' on the listen again player
oh
jag I spose
Gizz...
...appeared on the Ascendancy LP, shouting along to A Gunshot To The Head Of Trepidation after a boozy night out with the band, he's mates with Andy Sneap who was mixing the LP and dropped in to have a gander at what the band were up to.
Top bloke.
they were class last night
that is all
aye HH is a bit outa town
but Bangor'd piss easy to get to by road n rail.
Bangor
home of rock n roll
and ace footy
in years to come
when you're sitting in Barbados in your villa by the sea, this headline will surely be one of your greatest memories
hang fire
it's just a microcosm of the internet itself. THe only difference is that the band pages are relatively uniformly coded which makes it easier to upload content, and the url is easier to remember.
Like Wikipedia it's essentially an implementation of what's loosely known as web 2.0 - user generated networking.
It's just an application that's been high on the uptake and become the base software du jour.
the interesting thing about this is
the myth / tale that Glitterbest were in cahoots with the bootleggers who released it on import from France I think in 77.
It's alternate versions and demos from different sessions for the Bollocks LP
Iceland
knocked out in the semis. Shame that
respect
you really are hung over.
That AA LP is fuckin ace tho, me likes lots
yeah
and stop saying 'with' too
so-called Raz
in with a chance?
hahaha
er... as much as he has of winning Eurovision
and that Jesus
is fucking terrifying. How they got it the fuck into such a tiny room - up some frankly improbable stairs - is completely beyond comprehension.
there was also
the boring stuff: walking from the Eurasian tectonic plate to the American one, seeing the original Geysir, all that stuff. That was Sunday, one of the longest, brilliantest and oddest days ever invented.
And lots of whisky. Lots and lots of it. So much that two double DJ and cokes cost £25 and we were paying it happily cause we'd lost all sense of...
well. All sense, really.
Silvia rocks, though.
I played
quite a few gigs with Oi Polloi
that is all
hmm

Sorry. I'm sure you're lovely really.
Still.

Re: Art Brut - Bang Bang Rock And Roll
Girl when you hold me
how you control me.
You bend me and fold me any way you please.
It must be easy for you the loving things that you do
For just a past time for you.
I could never be and I never know girl if I should stay or go
'Cause the games that you play keep driving me away
Don't love me for fun girl let me be the one girl
Love me for a reason and let the reason be love.
Don't love me for fun girl
let me be the one girl
Love me for a reason let the reason be love.
Kisses and caresses are only minor tests Babe
Of love which it stresses between a woman and a man.
So if love ever lasting isn't what you're asking
I'll have to pass girl and proudly take a stand
I can't continue guessing because it's only messing up my pride
And my mind oh
so right now it's time to tell you
Don't love me for fun girl let me be the one girl
. . .
I'm just a little old fashioned it takes more than
A physical attraction my initial reaction is honey
Give me love not a facsimile of love.
Don't love me for fun girl let me
be the one girl
. . .
yeha!

Genius? Pffffft
The Independent pick top 10 venues - what're yours?

Best venues in Liverpool:
Masque Theatre (part of Barfly these days)
Magnet
Royal Court
Heav n Hell's horrible, with nasty sonics. but it's sorta ace too, for dirty Punk stuff. The Slaughterhouse is top for the DIY gigs when they get em there an all.
Sadly missed - Heebie Jeebies. Shit sound but what a smart place.
I quite like Joseph's Well in Leeds land when it's full an all, it can rock very hard indeed.
