I did actually think of warning Chris about this thread, but I thought it would be more fun for him to find it on his own. (Good look getting the coffee off the monitor, I find that a rubbing alcohol solution works well)

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 00:11 (fourteen years ago) link
nar it's not new, it's an early demo of big city
― mighty angus sampson (electricsound), Tuesday, 24 November 2009 00:15 (fourteen years ago) link
damn, i was hoping they'd buried the hatchet. been really enjoying spectrum lately. curious why they'd release a demo as an a-side of a split, with wooden shjips of all people
― 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

Wooden Shijps has been releasing cover singles lately (their cover of Gainsbourg/Bardot's "Contact" is terrific)
― Elvis Telecom, Tuesday, 24 November 2009 02:05 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah, looks like the shjips are covering "i believe it." here's more infohttp://www.normanrecords.com/records/111203i was excited for a second about spacemen reunion possibilities. oh well

not that it maybe belongs here, but i just noticed that amazon is taking preorders for a december rerelease of the perfect prescription on vinylized plastic. news to me.

is that the fire records one? if so it's probably just a repress of their '03 reissue..
― "your shades, man, they're shite..." (electricsound), Tuesday, 24 November 2009 03:57 (fourteen years ago) link
would like to see proper HQ reissues of the first two albums, like the space age version of playing with fire
― "your shades, man, they're shite..." (electricsound), Tuesday, 24 November 2009 03:58 (fourteen years ago) link
think the 03 fire reissue was cd only right? according to discogs it added "soul #1" and "that's just fine". amazong says the new vinyl will include "rollercoaster" and "starship" (presumably the long versions?) but i dunno - offered elsewhere as a straight reissue w the original track listing. fire uk site won't open atm so it's hard to say.

God, they just need a fucking box set. A few years ago I tried to amass a digital S3 discography and found that every fucking pressing has different tracks, edits, mixes, etc. And then all these compilations!! What's one to do?

i wonder just how much more in the way of demos/outtakes/etc there is to still be issued.. has any other band had this much in the way of their flotsam trickled out like this?

Don't forget about that 2 CDR set that Sonic put out, How The Blues Should've Turned Out. It's got a lot of great stuff on it.
But I do think that the Stooges are the kings of this sorta thing.

― a dimension that can only be accessed through self-immolation (contenderizer), Tuesday, 24 November 2009 10:42 (fourteen years ago) link
bits of that are o k - these blues, for example - but it's also shorthand for how lazy the reissues became; £40 for two cd-rs of outtakes.

The "Art Of Spacemen 3" show opens in London tomorrow night and, well, you need to see the fine print at the bottom of this:
In addition to the art on display, the London Launch event will feature appearances from Sonic Boom, Gruff Rhys and Dan Treacy. Will Carruthers, Jonny Mattock, Mark Refoy, Roscoe, Kevin Shields, Pat Fish, Bassman and Natty himself (health permitting ) will also be in attendance.
― Elvis Telecom, Thursday, 15 July 2010 02:45 (thirteen years ago) link
Of course there's a name missing on that list, but if Gilmour and Waters can perform together more than once...

And if it happens, I'm going to eat my shoe.
― Elvis Telecom, Thursday, 15 July 2010 02:52 (thirteen years ago) link
If it happens, I'll probably walk out. :-P
I strongly doubt it. However, I would actually *rather* if the J-man didn't turn up, for the simple reason that, well, I'd much rather Kevin Shields filled in for him.
I mean, a Boom-Carruthers-Mattock-Refoy line-up with Shieldsy on guitar would pretty much be guaranteed instant orgasm. (Would be nice if Pat would get onstage with them, but I imagine he'll be propping up the bar, which is a considerable distance from the stage.)
That said, Carruthers is one of the most convincing (and amusing) liars I've ever met, so I would not be surprised if I turned up and it was just him.
(Kidding!)
I think your shoes are safe, mind you. (Mine, however...)

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.
