You are clearly not on the No S Diet.

No Snacks, no Sweets, no Second helpings, except on days which start with S.

So you'll be turning down spiced christ buns, toasted with butter, when you come round later then?

― Ed, Thursday, 5 April 2007 12:36 (seventeen years ago) link

Argh! It is Monday Thursday, which is a Special Day.

(Besides, hot christ buns aren't sweet, are they? I thought they were savory.)

Having told you to listen those tracks I had to listen to them it is amazing how they now sound like backing tracks, I could envisage wanging out a song over the top of Haunted dancehall.

I saw a recipe for fish with curry sauce. I NEED AN APPLE. OH THE BLASPHEMY! Apples for curry. ;-)

POPTIMISM ARE WAY BETTER BECAUSE AS FAR AS I KNOW, NO ONE FROM POPTIMISTS HAVE EVER BEEN A BIGAMIST WIFE-BEATING SUICIDE-FAKING-FOR-ATTENTION EMOTIONAL-BLACKMAILING LET'S-HAVE-A-SELF-AGGRANDISING-9/11-BENEFIT-FOR-"DEAD FRIENDS"-WHO-ARE-STILL-ALIVE-IN-BROOKLYN COCKFARMER!!!!

aaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

x-post apples in curry are DAH BOMB. Really, it works great. But you've got to have a nice, sharp cooking apple.

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 5 April 2007 13:23 (seventeen years ago) link

I too will be staying clear of that thread.

― Ed, Thursday, 5 April 2007 13:24 (seventeen years ago) link

This is not what I am needing today. I was in such a good mood this morning and do not want to lose it after the depressio of earlier this week.

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 5 April 2007 13:26 (seventeen years ago) link

The sun is giving me the urge to make cocktails.

― Ed, Thursday, 5 April 2007 13:27 (seventeen years ago) link

We are having pink wine tonight as it feels like Spring!

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 5 April 2007 13:28 (seventeen years ago) link

I have no idea what that was about. Do I have to go read it to find out?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Thursday, 5 April 2007 13:28 (seventeen years ago) link

My mother has been baking God Has Been Executed Buns today; the house is full of cinnamon-smell. Sadly, I won't be around tomorrow to eat any.

― Forest Pines, Thursday, 5 April 2007 13:31 (seventeen years ago) link

Don't bother, it is history.

What cocktails can be made with pink wine? Or shall we just have pink gins or negronis?

― Ed, Thursday, 5 April 2007 13:31 (seventeen years ago) link

So who is voting on my ilm poll?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Thursday, 5 April 2007 13:34 (seventeen years ago) link

I did.

― Ed, Thursday, 5 April 2007 13:34 (seventeen years ago) link

Basically it's a bunch of people comparing ILX house club, Poptimism to a club run by a man who should, frankly, be in jail, and not just for crimes against "pop". But it's bad blood under the bridge and

GODDAMMIT, WHAT IS IT, EX BOYFRIENDS COME UP TO HAUNT ME DAY TODAY?!?!? I keep thinking it's emails popping up from an important client but it's an ex who works for a client.

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 5 April 2007 13:38 (seventeen years ago) link

What did you vote for Ed, if you don't mind me asking.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Thursday, 5 April 2007 13:42 (seventeen years ago) link

Paranoid, not having heard much beyond vol 4

― Ed, Thursday, 5 April 2007 13:43 (seventeen years ago) link

Argh, Chuck, if you're reading this, I know you meant well, but it's exactly posts like that that are going to turn that thread into a hellhole. Because all people see is, Kate is upset oh noes, not again and start taking it out on me.

People can forgive Phil Spector for being a wife-beating psychopathic asshole and still enjoy his music, so I guess they will have the same attitude towards Hasbeen.

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 5 April 2007 13:44 (seventeen years ago) link

So I am not quite frivolous and free-spending enough to play hooky tomorrow and fly to London just to hang out at poptimism. curse self yet again for being poorly organized about these things.

instead i will be around end of next week.

happy easter folks. jesus died for somebody's sins but not mine, as we're the only office in the company working tomorrow and monday :( frigging orthodox calendar, 70 years of communism, etc etc etc

― mitya, Thursday, 5 April 2007 13:44 (seventeen years ago) link

Paranoid, not having heard much beyond vol 4

I was wondering if that would be the general case with voting when I made the poll. A kind of public votes for St Peppers as best album as it's the only Beatles album they know Syndrome

Tho I thought you would be a Sabbath fan somehow. Kate are you a Black Sabbath fan?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Thursday, 5 April 2007 13:48 (seventeen years ago) link

Hapy Easter Mitya!(and everyone else of course)

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Thursday, 5 April 2007 13:49 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't really own any Sabbath albums, even though they have always seemed (early stuff at least) like exactly the sort of thing I should like.

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 5 April 2007 13:49 (seventeen years ago) link

End of next week, shimuras at HDIF and NOTLS with I can't remember.

― Ed, Thursday, 5 April 2007 13:50 (seventeen years ago) link

General consensus is 1st 5 albums are essential. (Like Led Zep and Can)

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Thursday, 5 April 2007 13:51 (seventeen years ago) link

No, no, Mitya can't come to any Shimuras gigs, he is BAD LUCK!!! He makes us break up!

Just kidding, just kidding! Honestly! Love ya! Mwah!

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 5 April 2007 13:51 (seventeen years ago) link

I have a single of "Paranoid" and "Shake your head".

Alice had a look of disappointment/disapproval when I played her the latter.

― Mark G, Thursday, 5 April 2007 13:54 (seventeen years ago) link

You taking her to see Heaven & Hell ? ;)

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Thursday, 5 April 2007 13:55 (seventeen years ago) link

Hmm, no Ozzy. Let's think that one through...

― Mark G, Thursday, 5 April 2007 14:00 (seventeen years ago) link

Me liking the other Sabres of Paradise LOTS. It's all the stereo tremoloes FUCKING WITH MY HEAD.

You know, I was asking for stuff like this years ago, when everyone was saying all "oh, Kid A sounds just like Warp" and me going SHOW ME WARP STUFF THAT SOUNDS LIKE THIS BECAUSE I WOULD LIKE IT and everyone telling me to listen to Two Lone Swordsmen or whatever. When this was exactly the kind of thing I was wanting.

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 5 April 2007 14:15 (seventeen years ago) link

― CharlieNo4, Thursday, 5 April 2007 14:19 (seventeen years ago) link

Stay here and help us puzzle out which early warp is kate friendly.

― Ed, Thursday, 5 April 2007 14:24 (seventeen years ago) link

SEEFEEL!

― CharlieNo4, Thursday, 5 April 2007 14:24 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, I was the same about Kid-A so me too.

― Mark G, Thursday, 5 April 2007 14:24 (seventeen years ago) link

I have none of their records, which is unbelievable.

― Ed, Thursday, 5 April 2007 14:25 (seventeen years ago) link

SeeFeel weren't "Warp" they were shoegaze! And I loved them!

I want warpy stuff that sounds more like SeeFeel. Not even sounds, but *feels* - you know me, I'm all about the texture.

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 5 April 2007 14:29 (seventeen years ago) link

Also, see Orbital. Man I loved them. But they were always sampling Emma Lush and stuff like that, so there was a lot of shoegaze crossover.

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 5 April 2007 14:30 (seventeen years ago) link

um, were they actually on warp? shit. let me google.

LFO - Frequencies
The Black Dog - Bytes
Polygon Window - Surfing On Sine Waves
both Sabres albums
Artificial Intelligence II
Autechre - Tri Repeatae
Red Snapper - Prince Blimey
Jimi Tenor - Intervision
Squarepusher - Hard Normal Daddy

There's a handful of the most important albums of my life, indeed. Although none of them sound like Seefeel. Oops.

― CharlieNo4, Thursday, 5 April 2007 14:31 (seventeen years ago) link

With the exception of jimi tenor, all good ones.
LFO rule all.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Thursday, 5 April 2007 14:34 (seventeen years ago) link

Never liked Autechre or Squarepusher which were the things people kept trying to tell me that Kid A sounded like. Um, no. This is just squelching noises. Kid A is squelching noises with choons and beats and indie vocals.

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 5 April 2007 14:34 (seventeen years ago) link

that's because they added radioheadness to autechreness. nobody on warp sounds like radiohead, ffs. stop looking.

― CharlieNo4, Thursday, 5 April 2007 14:44 (seventeen years ago) link

Well, it really used to wind me up that people would dismiss RH "for sounding just like Warp" when I could find no Warp that sounded anything like that.

Anyway, WHAT WOULD LEMMY DO?!?!?

WARP?!?!? SOD THIS MUTHAFUCKIN' WARP SHITE, THE ONLY WARP I WANNA SEE IS THE WARP IN SPACETIME WHEN MY MUTHAFUCKIN' BASS SOLO HITS LIKE A NEUTRON BOMB!!!

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 5 April 2007 14:46 (seventeen years ago) link

Ian from Kontackte has thanked me through the power of myspace for coming down last night and apologising for not talking, I love them even more.

― Ed, Thursday, 5 April 2007 14:46 (seventeen years ago) link

Good! You two talk gig booking while I google pictures of the Venusian Space Bassist.

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 5 April 2007 14:48 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm going to the pub. see some of you tomorrow.

― Grandpont Genie, Thursday, 5 April 2007 14:55 (seventeen years ago) link

See ya, Mark!

OK, yay, I got a nice message, too.

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 5 April 2007 14:55 (seventeen years ago) link

First I am going to work out what I am supposed to be doing in Helsingfors.

― Ed, Thursday, 5 April 2007 14:56 (seventeen years ago) link
