When I moved, I found my whole cache of unlistenable wonderful EAR records on coloured vinyl. HSA was cross when he came back from lugging heavy boxes across Bloomsbury and I was supposed to be packing and he found me lusting over some OTHER soundartist. Oh dear.

who would have to be Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins. Neil would have a string which you could pull and he'd say "That's one small step...", Buzz would have a button on the back of his head which you could press and make him punch the nearest "it was all done in a Hollywood parking lot" conspiricy theorist and Mike would have a string you could pull and say "When are Buzz and Neil gonna get the hell off that lump of rock, I'm getting mighty bored on my own up here".

anyone heard the new split with wooden shjips? anyone know if it's an outtake from the "big city" sessions, or real honest to goodness new music??

― kamerad, Tuesday, 24 November 2009 00:45 (fourteen years ago) link
unfortunately it's not the first time earworm/gps have released S3 odds and sods. i guess they're pretty good sellers, but they're pretty damn uninteresting compared to the stuff dom usually releases

That was pretty amazing. Never thought I'd see 4/5ths (how else to describe it? Also thx to Masonic as I didn't know who most people onstage actually were, not looking exactly as they did 20odd yrs ago) of Spacemen 3 AND Kevin Shields onstage together. Playing Revolution. That was something.

ok was this a different band than the one that MBV gave an opening slot to on their reunion tour doing (mostly) sonic's spacemen songs?
or the different band that I saw (with many NYC ilxors) at secret project robot in 11211 doing (again mostly) sonic's spacemen songs?

Home now - ha, those were Diane's pictures you just retweeted on Flickr! I tried to take a couple of pics, but they were shit. Elaine Dream Machine was also taking pics so I'm sure there will be lots floating round tomorrow on Facebook.
So the complete lineup:Sonic Boom - Organ, GuitarWill Carruthers - BassJohnny Mattock - DrumsMark Refoy - GuitarJason Holt - GuitarKevin Shields - Guitar
it was AWE INSPIRING in the most amazing way. So glad I got to see that.
(I was talking to Dean - the dude who was roadie-ing - before the gig. I don't think anyone actually bothered to invite Jason Pierce... ha ha hahahahahah)
Um. yeah. ears ringing.

She and Diana were way up front - I was kinda towards the back, by the sound booth where I knew the sound would be really good (and also I would have a seat during the interminable TVPs set)

Adamrl, have you actually seen the TVPs perform in, oh, about the last five years or so? If your idea of a fun time is watching a man utterly ravaged by addiction and mental illness self destruct in front of a microphone, then I can see how it might be enjoyable, but frankly, I find it painful and slightly embarrassing to watch on the same level as watching a drunken uncle smash up a wedding. But, you know, to each their own.

But I can't go along with the labelling of those YouTube clips - it wasn't Spacemen 3. You need Pete and Jason for that. Not saying it would have been any better, could well have been worse once they start trading blows on stage, and I'm not taking anything away from one of the best sets I've seen in recent times. It just wasn't Spacemen 3.
