Not been here in a while but to say ive been busy...Its a plug so no problems if you want to take down. Ive launched a label called Cardinal Fuzz. Ltd releases by the likes of The Heads, Hookworms,Goat,Hills, Lumerians, Cult Of Dom Keller, Dead Sea Apes, Sunlight Service Crew, You're Smiling Now But...

sonic124

Playing now...Still my favourite album ever...Takes me back to living in Manchester this was the album along with Soul Kiss Velvets 3rd and Astral Weeks that we would fall asleep just them albums.

sonic124

Same as most say here - while they were still a band I would say get 'em all - I do like Take It From The Man best push comes to shove. Quite taken with the new one as well which is the first one in a long long while that clicks with my rather conservative tastes.

sonic124

hee hee set up a false ebay account and have so far bought 20 RSD records on buy it nows with no itention of ever paying out...Linked to a new googlemail i set up. Think this is how I am going to get my kicks for the next 2 weeks before ebay suspends the account

sonic124

just back Hi Sunray no idea at all why that took so long as it was posted the day after you paid for it... Have been away for a few days so anybody who has paid in the last few days is in for a wait im afraid as the Post Office is closed till tuesday... Sorry it took so long to reach you!

sonic124

Yep would love to hear for a start some Blue Cheer live recordings....

sonic124

It was loud last night!!! but for me the sound was spot on last night - just listening to the recording now pretty intense stuff. Hookworms were just awesome every time i see them they do not fail to hit that sweet spot. Mugstar have me more than excited for their new album couple of new tracks in t...

sonic124

yeah i said i wouldnt do it again after buying a few things i didnt really need or have the money for...But there is no way I am going to miss the Heads LP!

sonic124

Cheers for the review Sunray. Really looking forward to the Brudenell gig with Hookworms and Mugstar.Â£6 for them 3 bands!!!! Amazing line up. Shame about pricey merch really fancy the pink/white vinyl...

sonic124

yep tis rsd release. Ive heard its a 500 pressing of which 200 are for the UK and rest worldwide. 500 is quite a few so i reckon you'll be able to track one down fingers crossed.

sonic124

Yeah thanks everyone. Always feel guilty over the shipping charges which are pretty expensive (Rest Of The World is Â£3.80) For the fanzine to go to the US it cost the buyer Â£6.80 of which after p&p and paypal charges I get Â£2.52 which then has to pay for toner,paper,staples and electricity to...

sonic124

Hi Just select France for your shipping destination (it is the same price to ship to France as Estonia Â£2.29) The Big Cartel ask you to individually select shipping for each country (from afghanistann to Zaire!) easy and far far far quicker just to use the 3 shipping zones Royal Mail use (UK, Europ...

sonic124

Here it is - just gopne to the printers back later. Massive Spacemen 3 article includes some nice pics from runcibles archive of posters...

Thanks everyone

sonic124

Love Sylvester Anfang II def recommend there double LP on Aurora Borealis from a few years back

sonic124

Whooa love that wah wah on the silver bullet track I Love You thanks for the link...If i could get pass the vocals I could really really like this group.

sonic124

The Relaxing reissue is single LP Red vinyl 300 press. Think its confusing because the blurb I saw is mixed in with the cd reissue from last year which featured a whole slew of excellent bonus stuff. Cube dvd is something special I can tell you Also keep an eye out for Simon Prices solo LP kandodo w...

sonic124

kandodo - S/T getting the vinyl treatment via thrill jockey soon. Like a cross between Soul Kiss Glide Divine (the more spaced out moments, Cluster and Maybe Johnn Carpenter. ) The Sufi's - S/T Goat - 7" Raw as anything Afro influenced band from Sweden! West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band - Tr...

sonic124

Yep blasted that Citizen Bird track out last night at Runcibles - I like it though the vocals aint quite my thing. You can here there Spacemen/Spectrum influences (which is only a positive in my book)

sonic124

Again another who was lucky to see Gary Speed as he burst into the Leeds ranks. Hard to take in. As always such a tragic waste. An actual footballer who you would be proud to hold up as a role model for your kids. Rest In Peace

sonic124

That classic live 'Something Else' performance of Joy Division playing Transmission. Sometime in 87 i guess. Just discovering 'indie' music Wedding Present, Soup Dragons etc via an older cousins boyfriend. Totally blow me away as I saw in front of my eyes one of the most intense performances I had e...

sonic124

Re the Syd Pink Floyd show. It is excellent. Syds playing is so ahead of its time (and not just off its time). Shame is this is just a recording someone made of the playback show and not directly from the reels. Shame Syds vocals are so low BUT man his gee-tar playing... Also misses the opening intr...

sonic124

Thee Oh Sees - Carrion Crawler/The Dream

sonic124

Angelsighs - when it comes to live stuff some people what it in pristine hi fi quality. Read that uncut review and since I have a copy of this live gig could not understand what he was on about - sounded like a fan so surely he would cream his pants at the prospect of over 40 mins of CAN in there pr...

sonic124

Well pleased with my 2cd set - think they have done an amazing job. Like the dot art of Smile on the back of the box as well... Roll on the Tago Mago re issue with the live tracks.

sonic124

Trust me on this 88 is totally wrong. They had ben playing Revolution and Suicide for all the dates on the Jan/ Feb Euro tour by then and this is prob one of the first outings of the songs. I also have some tapes Oldham and Manchester from Aug 87 were they play Revolutions (Oldham sans vocals) I do ...

sonic124

Mark you know you should ask me when it comes to this sorta stuff!!!! Defo 87 Do have the date written down somewhere but August 87 is the nearest i can give you at the moment. LOVE THIS GIG. Remember the NME running a piece on Spacmen 3 and saying this was one of the cds to avoid - Early version of...

Could have bought this for Â£35 on the morning (thinking you would at least double your money on it) but somethi...

sonic124

About the name - "The name Uncle Acid was taken from Rusty Day of the great band CACTUS. Before he was killed he had a band called UNCLE ACID AND THE PERMANENT DAMAGE BAND. So, Itâ€™s a tribute to him"

sonic124

Got the LP through the other day. I really like - sometimes wish the guitars were a bit more psych but nice and heavy and some very catchy grooves. Love the name!! There is also a Volume 1 out there - worth seeking out (er as a download since only 20cdrs were done...) Interviewed for next issue of c...

sonic124

sonic124

CAVE live are just fucking amazing - you lucky buggers. Sounds like you had almost a private show Steve which is lucky for you but I feel a bit for the band. Jeez they are relentless... Glad you got to witness them too Alan and hope you can see why both Mark and myself were raving about the show we ...

sonic124

Cheers for the tip the other day Matt. Ripping stuff indeed!

sonic124

Another thumbs up her for York Blvd. One that I can put on the will not annoy the wife! It is actually a pretty straight record some nice bits of fuzz here and there when he steps on the pedal but most of all good songs.

sonic124

For those into The Heads - Simon Price has set up a facebook page for his side project Kandodo. Very blissed out stuff esp the stuff using a Vox Tremolo. Those into Pete Kember Soul Kiss and the blissed out stuff will def like this (I reckon...) http://www.facebook.com/groups/39551617278/#!/pages/Ka...

Will do my best to edit but would love to hear any memories.
The piece is coming together better than I had hoped (mind I always aim low!)
Thanks
Dave

sonic124

Has anybody got any live memories of seeing Spacemen 3? Had the idea of collecting peoples recollections (good/bad/indifferent) along with some reviews/pictures from the day. I never got to see them and really I do not suppose that many people did either? If anybody feels up to submitting then pleas...

Paypal is up now. Hope you all enjoy since the magazine is pretty much the work of people from this forum!!

apologies for massive postage charges!

sonic124

At last!! It was her in Back To The Future?? That always stuck with me
Brilliant

sonic124

Yeah listen with your own ears my friend. I personally like it more than previous Moon Duo stuff leans more towards the Shjips but that is not an endorsement just my own view. Build em up knock em down and all that

sonic124

Big thanks for putting them up stonking Suicide there!! WWJ though is from the Performance LP but thanks again for taking the time & trouble

sonic124

Yeah i would like to hear the Saarbrucken tape. Is the Melkweg an Aud recording as Id like to hear the full versions of Walkin With Jesus and Repeater as well (that were cut on the Performance release) Cheers!

sonic124

The Heads - Relaxing Rehersals (the rock show session is brain crushing) Paperhead - S/T (trouble in mind) fantastic 67/68 like UK psych from these 18 year old from tennesse Panda Bear - Tomboy La Hell Gang - Just What Is Real (Spacemen 3 meets Ron Asheton) Watch Out! - Brossroad (Velvets meet Can i...

Been laid up in bed with a pretty nasty virus (thanks kids!) but wanted to say thanks for all the praise.

Good I feel so so saddened to hear this. I was a massive fan of Broadcast. One of thee best live bands I have ever seen and a band that genuinely pushed the barriers. Condolences to all that knew her.

sonic124

First off big thanks to Runcible and Red Cloud who apart from giving massive encouragement when needed also wrote some great articles and designed the front cover. Now noticed the blog page I set up was spelt wrong (stop laughing Mark) now changed and spelt correctly you will find out about it here ...

sonic124

Just seen on heyday mail order that the first 3 Spacemen 12" are up for re-issue http://www.heyday-mo.com/catalog/ They have Fire Cat numbers so I am guessing they will be as badly done as the LP re-issues frm last year Shame. I know Pete has nothing to do with this as well. Also under the impr...

sonic124

To be fair it has been pretty extreme today. People wonder how the Scandanavians cope but they have it for months and are geared up for it. Last year was the first time in ages we had snow (well in Leeds anyway) that stayed for more than a day (about 1 month in the end). Missus School was open today...

sonic124

Cave are playing a few gigs round the UK at the moment. Going to see them In Manchester on Weds night and i am super excited to for this. And also Sun Araw the night before in Leeds.

Ugly Things is just a fantastic read never missed an issue since i first heard of it back in 97 amazing in depth articles which shindig sadly lacks for me and hundreds of reviews to absorb. There all stacked on my top shelf for reference! I knew Runcibles on a Masters Apprentice trip at the moment a...

Anal retent that i am should point out the Kassel gig is from 89 and not 88. There is a couple of good sounding gigs from 89 floating about Copenhagen barbue Dornbirn Speilboden and Thun Cafe Mokka but i prefer them 87 early 88 ones
