Spiritualized

Ian Goodchild

:D Oooh! Oh! I can disagree with $26, just like long ago. I've missed doing that! :wink: I kid, I kid. But you did say you found Playing With Fire 'over-rated' and 'uninspired' (your words). This leaves relatively few Jason-authored Sp3 tunes untouched, by the way - off the top of my head - - 2.35 -...

Ian Goodchild

As requested Zenchan! Radio shack's totally right - '1990', from start to finish is absolutely the definitive Daniel Johnson (probably as a result of the collaboration with Shimmy, Kramer, (most of) Sonic Youth, and other occasional luminaries). The versions of Devil Town, Held The Hand, Don't Play ...

Ian Goodchild

Points well taken, and well made Angelsighs - I didn't connect that heartbroken Johnson chorus line - 'Some things....last...a long time' with 'Freedom...is just...another word' :D Superb spot. Ain't that song fantastic? Dead easy to play on piano too. There really hasn't been a full discussion of t...

Ian Goodchild

That's true, Multi and I really wanted to know what other people thought would come out of the past few years of Acoustic Mainlines gigs LP wise - I certainly don't have any privileged insights. Personally though, I would be amazed to see any new 15 track Spiritualized LP (without reprises, or 'Pure...

Selected Blatheringsâ€¦Blue on Blue/Friendly Fireâ€¦The Next Spiritualized Albumâ€¦Acoustic Mainlines :D Iâ€™m back, baby! Iâ€™ve missed you guys. :D You know how my posts were always long? Try this one. Crammed full of the same new crap. â€˜Blue on Blueâ€™ and â€˜Friendly Fireâ€™ prove there is a G...

Ian Goodchild

Okay, what links Toffee Crisps, Vanilla Sky, past Volkswagen ads, Blue Peter stories about the natural habitats of Guillemots, recent ads for CSI on Channel 5 and a Dr Who documentary screened on BBC2 on Saturday? Tough question, eh (and the subject line of the post doesn't give it away either)? Obv...

Ian Goodchild

One is good, one is bad - and given their form over the past three years, who'd have thought Low would have produced such an utter stinker? There's also some wisdom here that the band to whom this board exists may wish to...acknowledge. 'The Secret Migration' is surprisingly good - it contains thirt...

Ian Goodchild

>>>>>woooooooosh!!! Okay, for posters other than Clewsr, and those who know me, let me put my previous post into perspective. A little quote from Blackadder should do: Blackadder: Have you no conception of what irony is, Baldrick? Baldrick (in response): Yeh, it's like goldy...or coppery. (n.b. On a...

Ian Goodchild

I've been away, because I've heard nought to excite me, and nothing to irritate me, but now I find this...this...further outrage perpetrated against me, in respect of the...book. It's coaxed me out of my hermetically sealed existence. Do you know how many days I spent collating articles/posters/gig ...

Ian Goodchild

That's new info, for me - thanks. Weird too - was this put out after 'Feel So Sad' (or 'Run') single or just before 'Laser Guided Melodies'?

Ian Goodchild

Hi Warmth, Haven't heard of that promo: I know it's not an official release and I'd be surprised to hear it. The reason for this is that the JPS version of "Feel So Bad" is segued onto the end of a beautiful version of 'Angel Sigh' (so it would need a long, dramatic fade-in - unusual on a ...

Ian Goodchild

'Drive/Feel So Sad'...is it a Spacemen 3 or Spiritualized query? That's not pedantry, by the way - it's just that these two tracks (for me) mark the real musical transition from Spacemen 3 to Spiritualized, and also the tracks that represent Spiritualized in their purest and most emotive way. To ans...

Ian Goodchild

:D You know that feeling you get from buying a record/CD that you thought would be good, but which turns out to be an absolute work of genius that you want to tell the whole world about? Here we go. :D This is what a/the 'Complete Works' CD set should be, guys. This is one of the best, most complete...

Ian Goodchild

Well, it wouldn't be the first time I've said 'Nice one, $26' Sheesh! I always give praise where praise is due. And that's three of us going through turbulent circumstances at the moment as well.... Anyway, back to 'Recurring' - I'm REALLY hoping that Other Ian, Will, Jon, Mark Runcible and most imp...

Ian Goodchild

That last post was by me! I am NOT a guest - I've been on this board since 1970, you know - five years before I was even born! How's that for long-term band commitment?

Ian Goodchild

As it's had a few mentions, I thought I'd add that Live at the Royal Albert Hall is no more a 'live' LP than 'Amazing Grace' or the fantastic Radio Sessions they did for Steve Lamacq's Evening Session And XFM Capital (2001). Jason doesn't like Spiritualized live on record - have a listen to the Elec...

Ian Goodchild

Well, actually, having 'The Slide Song' as backing music for a documentary on Caeserian sections make perfect sense. I mean, you know the lyrics right?

Ian Goodchild

Hello Trading Chums,
Is anyone still reading this thread? If they are, would any of you be willing to trade me that show for any of my other Spiritualized shows (or 'rarities') 1990-2004..?

Thank you greatly.

Ian G.

Ian Goodchild

It seems I was completely wrong about Suicide, but you can blame that on Ian G. It was his account that Jason brought in the two-note riff which I assumed constituted authorship. He also said that it was Peter who said so. He also said that the song was credited to "Rev/Vega/Kember/Pierce"...

Ian Goodchild

Andy, They didn't play 'Spread Your Wings' at either of the gigs you mention - I was at both. Queen’s Hall, Leicester University 25.06.93 Good Times (nice Lennonesque 'Come Together' riff) Take good care of it (back when it sounded good) Walkin’ with Jesus, Medication, Take your time, Things’ll neve...

Ian Goodchild

No new Spiritualized releases until June...no pertinent issues for discussion...no work to do, so: :D Geekonumerology! :D You can join in too, and correct any mistakes or omissions I've made, or better still, add your own numbers! You could...count the number of band members Jason has sacked! The nu...

Ian Goodchild

Did someone say Silver Apples? And genius? Oh, yes. Buy the Contact CD [+] - where their first two LPs were reissued on one CD about two years ago (around the time Sonic had kind of exhumed them for collaborative work on 'A Lake of Teardrops' on Space Age, which was bloody awful), and they have a ma...

Ian Goodchild

Suicide good things: (1). Most of the first LP...Ghost Rider, Rocket USA, Girl, Cheree, Johnny are pioneering, were absolutely revolutionary at the time, and are fantastic tunes in their own right, then and now. (2). The reissue of the first LP by Mute: all of the songs slightly remixed/enhanced, ad...

Ian Goodchild

Still going? Thank fuck I've got no work to do in the office today... :D :D Runcible first: Too right - Metal Machine Music? The greatest double LP EVER. Oh, so good! Anyone who wants to know why Lou Reed's a living legend should listen to this. [and anyone who follows this advice should purchase ea...

Ian Goodchild

Can I just say 'thank you' to everyone who posted replies here? All good stuff that gave me a lot food for thought. My responses: Spliffboy: Fair point, maybe it was an off-night, and yes, the venue should take 30% of the blame. But I've seen them before on 'off-nights' - January 1998 at the Astoria...

Ian Goodchild

I've been wondering about this question, ever since I went to a gig at Oxford Brookes in January (one of the WORST venues I've ever been in - sound quality, acoustics, construction, over-zealous security, poor mixing). I think I've only told a few people just how much this gig sucked in every concei...

Ian Goodchild

Just a short one: Erik has indeed been doing a lot of bloody hard work on this (me and a few other guys on this board provided a fair bit of info whilst Erik was writing this, and it certainly hasn't been easy for him to put the book together), and I'm guessing it's going to be a thorough, comprehen...

Ian Goodchild

Nice one Natty! that is f'n A, no two ways about it. Best thing? Baby name generator (works VERY well if you do social work, in Northampton, and have lots of Chav clients who keep reproducing).

Unfortunately as you know I'm a Jew and this sort of linguistic parsing doesn't work for Jewish names, most of which have been changed dozens of times in the last thousand years for various reasons. Well, I didn't know that, $26 actually, and quite why 'unfortunately' was used, I don't know. Unless ...

Ian Goodchild

I've seen bits of Ear Candy in the past, it'll be one track from The Cure and Spiritualized and lots of Colin Murray arsing about. Usually makes me smile anyway. Yep, that's distressingly exactly what it was...lots of 'irreverant' humour (e.g. Murray having drinking contest with humourous Irish mus...

Ian Goodchild

Ian is that 27th or the 28th? Wed or Thur? You posted on 28th and said it was tonight 27th. Confused. And will it clash with footage of Johnny Rotten picking his nose by a campfire? Sorry, Starfish got the date completely arsed up there. The 'Ear Candy' programme is on at 12.00 midnight 'tonight' (s...

Ian Goodchild

Hey chums, At 12.00 am (27th) on Channel 4's 'Ear Candy' music show, the two bands playing are The Cure and Spiritualized. I presume this will be a two or three track session, as no other bands are listed and the programme lasts for just 35 mins. Also, for those of you that read Channel 4's Teletext...

Ian Goodchild

Oh, come on $26....a bit of [tongue in cheek] genealogy never hurt anybody. On a serious note, it is quite an interesting subject - do you know where your name derives from? I believe that the surname 'Pierce' dates back to an order of sixteenth century Druids who took a partial vow of silence [it's...

Ian Goodchild

Okay...everyone with 2004 gigs, or wishing to trade, please e-mail me, and I'll be glad to trade. Three caveats: 1). I do not have a CD-Recorder - the gigs I send will be on conventional metal, good quality tapes. I'd be happy to get tapes in return, or if trading tapes for CDs, if you send me a CD ...

Ian Goodchild

Inner city sumo...? Monkey tennis... Good God! You've missed out Arm Wrestling with Chas & Dave, Youth Hostelling with Chris Eubank and a Partridge amongst the Pigeons! My vote - based on a REAL thing, I actually saw (a TV recording of an AGM of the Narcolepsy Society where all the Committee ke...

Ian Goodchild

Aww.....thanks chums! I no longer have a burning desire to enact my own pathetic version of Helter Skelter on this board. I shall endeavour to tone down my opinions in the future (slight sarcastic cough), or at least to present fewer opportunities for people to paraphrase, misquote and/or distort wh...

Ian Goodchild

I'm going to see them on 5th February ay Oxford Brookes and will be getting a copy of that, but if anyone has made their own recordings of the 2004 UK gigs, could they e-mail me: ianjgoodchild@hotmail.com I can trade for high quality gigs from as far back as 1990, or the latest 2003 gigs from UK and...

Ian Goodchild

Hi Pat, I'd be interested in getting/trading a copy of the Galway gig you mention. I've got a 29-page list (it goes from the very first Spiritualized gigs in 1990 to the very latest DAT sets recorded in the UK and USA (October & November) and pretty much everything between (also large collection...

Right...apparently I'm an intellectual fascist and a Jasonophile and a sycophant. Obviously, I need to be more like 'Muscles' - see below for his wit and intelligence.... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ian Goodprick [funny....when I was six, we used ...

Ian Goodchild

First, is it me, or is this 'trading' shit getting out of hand? Would the moderators be kind enough to set up a TRADING section, because the 'setting up trees' threads and the begging messages that ensue are dominating this board like the Strokes and the Shite Wipes dominate the NME (e.g. at the exc...

Ian Goodchild

Sheesh, It sounds kinda heel-ish to say anything negative about a 'project' that seems to be so altruistic, and one that also seems to rectify most of the problems associated with 'Official' Complete Works Volumes I and II (hold on…. can't remember what the problems were now…oh no, wait! It's coming...

Ian Goodchild

To add to.... Exactly, sly. On something like Medication, Kate probably wanted her hands free to play the little G-A-B-C riff. So I would guess that a G note was taped down in the bass since it's in both G & C. On most Spacemen/Spiritualized tape-downs it would be for a one-chord tune (Take Your...

Ian Goodchild

Well, okay, we do good comedy - $26, but I'll have to reply in a limited way as I'm leaving work in about three minutes. I'm not sure what you mean by that Ian, but I'm game for discussion. One of the things I do like about your posting tendencies - and what I appreciated about your Amazing Grace ap...

Ian Goodchild

At the risk of turning every thread - especially this one, which isn't a flame war - would anyone mind if I got a pop on $26 for being the only poster here to forget what the thread is about? And Ian wonders why we never get along! >Snort! I don't wonder why we never get on it, I know. It's because ...

Ten worst first (have to restrict this to LP, EP and Singles - otherwise Rocket USA, 100 Bars, Spread Your Wings (Pure Phase), Cop Shoot Cop (Breezeblock Session) and others would be high on the list: 1. Space (Medication EP) 2. No God Only Religion (LAGWAFIS) 3. The Power and the Glory (AG) 4. Elec...

Hiya Dredgie! Tell us a bit about yourself. Tell us why you like Spiritualized - if indeed, you do like them; what the first Spiritualized record you bought was, and what your purpose is here? I ask this because Spiritualized meant, and still do mean, an awful lot to me (and many other people who po...

Ian Goodchild

First, one thing I've got to get off my chest - and this is the electronic equivalent of clearing my throat - getting the annoying detritus out before I engage in posting considerably less enraged diatribes. $26 - I love you. Your ability to read selectively and indiscriminately is a wonderful gift ...

Ian Goodchild

Right - first off a cordial 'FUCK YOU' to anyone and everyone who has said: 'Stop moaning' and/or 'If you don't like it, don't buy it'. I was under the impression this was a discussion board, and if you don't want to read me, or anyone else, discuss their grievances, you don't have to. Find a thread...

Ian Goodchild

I guess a lot of what I'll say in reply to Cinnamonboy would be superfluous at this point: clewsr, natty and most others seem to have said what I'll say again here. But I really, really need to say this. >>Ian G: You have missed the point completely. As Jason have said in several interviews; the 'Co...

Ian Goodchild

I hate(d) CWVI. It was a missed opportunity. The tracklisting was all wrong. The audio quality was between pathetic and laughable. The packaging was cheap and nasty. Okay, not everyone has been a fan of the band since year 0, and sure, some people have found early tracks to be a revelation (indeed, ...

Ian Goodchild

Mostly right for the best song on 'Amazing Grace' - just a few amendments: if memory was written down I'd cut it out and cross it out [I'd cut it up, and cross it out.] (Played live, it's "Then I'd cut it up and I'd cross it out") cos memory holds the hurt inside [live, it's "Such hur...

This is a long addendum which pretty much reiterates what Margueritapassion has already posted. So sad to see Sonic bashing again...is this necessary? I missed all this at the weekend....Horrorflick thinks Sonic is 'an idiot' :?: Free speech IS great, isn't it? But why not use that constructively ra...

See? Told you Mr Runcible would know! And another Bark Psychosis fan...? Too good. I didn't know they were still recording [hence the post below, which I'd written before I'd seen Ononist's post.] Bark Psychosis's back catalogue is (I think) now all deleted ('Hex' their only real LP and 'Independenc...

Ian Goodchild

In response to the question about how Jason pissed his support acts off... Good old Jason has a long record of 'getting on' with his support bands. I would state, though, that there are two sides to every story, and that reports of unrestrained arrogance, egotism and megalomania may have been overst...

Ian Goodchild

In answer to this one: Yes, and No. The story behind 'Spiritualized Electric Mainline' is as bizarre as it is pointless. Basically, it all started in 1995 when an interview (a rather good one as it happens) was conducted with the (then new) three-piece Spiritualized line-up (Jason, Sean and Linda Mc...
