And I'll be as happy as a pig in sh1t.

This is cancelled, sadly. When will gigs come back??

EDIT - wrong thread. This one isn't cancelled, yet. Fingers crossed.

I saw from his web site that he played an album launch show at the Paradiso in Amsterdam a few days ago. How does that work? Are gigs still allowed in the Netherlands? I miss gigs. :cry: ah, turns out it didn't happen in the end - "Yesterday’s show turned out to be quite a different then we ex...

I'm very stoned right now and this really hit my sweet spot. Thanks! haha. Pleased it had the right effect! I'm certainly looking for a bit of positivity in my music at the moment.

Set your streaming services to stun with 'Lars and the magic Mountain', 'Everything looks good from here' Lots of Spacemen 3 echos to enjoy, and a whole lot of positivity. I'm on the 5th listen to this after discovering it last night. It is having the kind of effect on me that I was hoping Sonics ne...

Nice to see that Spiritualized have finally made someone's choice on the 'real' Desert Island Discs, with Samantha Morton's choice of LAGWAFIS yesterday.

I believe this is the first time they've been selected, but I could be wrong.

Trying to navigate through that reddit thread makes me feel like an old person trying out the internet for the first time. Is it just me?

Thanks for that, really interesting. One thing struck me though - "With that album [Lazer Guided Melodies], it was very much telling people, ‘This is the drum pattern, this is the drum sound, this is how you play it.’ Now, especially with the people we’re working with, it’s more about people co...

This album is shaping up to be great.

This is my fav so far. Cracking

clewsr

Good stuff. I like this idea of being able plan for something.

Perhaps we could do a scheduled forum album listen? Get everyone on here at the same time during lockdown and and chat while listening.

Something to break the monotony perhaps!

nice introduction. This is a great excuse to be sitting in my cellar drinking beer and playing my favorite record really loud. Got myself out of all kids bed time duties!

The one great thing which took place under this cloud is...

This is great to see, I was at this show. I wish I'd gone to all 3 days, there was a great lineup on the other two days. Stood next to J for the next band Psychotic Monks (their set is on here and also worth checking out) before he piled back onto the bus. This was my second favorite (after the Par...

That t shirt would melt your eyeballs wouldn't it! Not sure I've got the balls to wear that. My eldest daughter has taken to nicking my band tshirt to wear as pyjammas. She wouldn't be seen outside the house with them on though! I imagine this one will end up being adopted as well. It reminds me of...

Serves me right for being too quick. Bought the bandcamp limited vinyl and a CD, now having to back out to buy the delux vinyl + tshirt + cd from Car Park. Damn the expense. This is the first Sonic Boom album in 30 years! (althoguh I hope I don't get caught out by import duty)

Hey Good news. Got the vinyl pre ordered, and listening the to the debut as a good way to start the day.

Would be stellar if someone tapes both nights. Robotoilet - i hope she will go and she has taped shows before. Here's my recording of the second day.

I'm slowly trying to work through some of these recommendations. Rose City Band is good, Juleah is great! Thanks stegraham.

Spzretent - I imagine WH Lung will be right up your street.

ALSO! Must not forget the amazing debut from Nina Harries! Saw her live at the Pig and Applestock this year playing solo, with just a double base. Absolutely fantastic!

I'm not sure that I'm entirely keeping up with new music these days, partly perhaps because the board has become so quiet so I'm missing out on the usual tips from the very knowledgeable people round here.

Can't believe that it takes so long for posting a audience recording of it :D I'm very sure that someone recorded it, so come on and share it.

I'd been thinking the same recently with regard to the relative quietness of spiritualized. Still hopefull but not optimistic of a UK tour.

I think I'll go to the accoustic mainlines gig, although I'll be disappointed if the same set list is used.

clewsr

£3k? Too rich for my blood! Although I would have loved to support a crowd funded shared effort, I doubt there's enough people here to reach that. I can't help wondering how much unreleased work there will be on there tapes, - I guess Will already worked through the best stuff for the friendly fire ...

clewsr

So after all the drama I made it to the gig last night, Really glad I did. Great set list and surging drones all the way through. Have to admit I enjoyed this substantially more than Spiritualized in Amsterdam back in March. Smallish room, but busy crowd. I got myself a good spec close to the front,...

Likewise for me, having spent many of my formative teenage years out and about in Rugby. Sadly post the Spacemen3 era though.
