Spiritualized

https://www.nme.com/news/music/vaughan-oliver-the-artist-who-created-4ads-classic-album-covers-has-died-aged-62-2591590 One of the very few graphic artists who's artwork was nearly as important and the music contained within.

Happy Holidays and an amazing, happy and healthy 2020 to all of you.

I've already got my first amazing release of 2020. Pictish Trail- Thumb World . I was given an advance CD today at my fave local record shop. Gorgeous lo fi electro pop. Seems each release of theirs get better than the one before. Saw them open for Steve Mason in Liverpool. They were excellent with ...

I have spent much of my adult life listening to, collecting, and following live much of the Spacemen 3, Spiritualized, Sonic Boom, Darkside etc. I realize that is why many of us still post and read this message board. Some of my closest friends have been made thru these bands. When I visit the UK I ...

Just listening to the vinyl master of this now. Sounds awesome.

Hopefully looking at a late Feb/early March release on Drone Rock Records.

Wow! Congrats Adam. Is this new material, the Live LP or Luna?

I can attest to how amazing Olan's stereo sounds.
Heard some Aliens, Spiritualized and L'Epee in the 24+ hours I spent at his house.
I just wish I felt better.
Oh well. Next time.

I have ordered that WH Lung LP which many really rate. I liked what I heard on youtube.
That may ultimately crack my list.

Off the top of my head my favorite LPs of 2019: Rose City Band - S/T LP Steve Mason - About The Light LP The Young Sinclairs - Out Of The Box LP Steve Gunn - The Unseen Between Lp L'Epee - Diabolique LP Fela Soul - LP. A Fela & De La Soul mash up with 2019 vinyl release. The Waterboys- Where The Act...

An addendum to the Steve Mason show I saw with Olan in Liverpool. We were there for the opener Pictish Trail who were really, really good. Hilarious stage banter and very sweet and endearing songs. The other day I was listening to one of their records on youtube before purchasing and it doesn't come...

Love Comforts Of Madness. As I recall they had some great b-sides as well.
Saw them at least twice. Once opening for the Boo Radleys at the Astoria. Also at 4AD's 13 Year Itch at the ICA.
Great both times.

Now on to Liverpool with Olan Wednesday.
Cant wait.

Steve Mason- Leeds Brudenell Nov.8 It's always a crap shoot when you buy a ticket to a gig overseas and then plan your trip around said gig. Again I did this with a sold out Steve Mason gig at Leeds Brudenell. Five of us showed up at this awesome venue. We walked in and walked right up to the stage...

Worst Mark Lanegan record ever I think. I read amazing reviews of this LP online somewhere.
At points it does sound a bit like Sisters Of Mercy. That isn't a compliment either.

Uk and Irish tour in November: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D5eFqXKW4AAStyE.jpg

I am coming over for Leeds & Liverpool.

I asked management and they said it was not filmed for release.
Kind of a bummer.

Over 5 years ago a client of ours gave me a 1988 Linn LP 12 turntable. I took it home. It didn't work. Finally after all these years of procrastination and frankly not having any extra cash to fix it I finally did. I picked it up last night. It was serviced by this guy who is pretty famous in the Li...

Thank Nightwash for without him we (moderators) would be lost.
He is the true hero of keeping this message board running as smoothly as it does.

Stumbled across this Grateful Dead- Sunshine Daydream box set used and decided to pick it up. $12 for 3 full CDs and a DVD seemed like a good deal. When I got home I did a little research. Seems this is one of the most sought after shows in GD tape trading history. All cleaned up now for a novice li...

I found a few Grandaddy cds at a charity shop a few weeks ago. Sophtware Slump and Sumday.
I put them on and just got nothing out of them. They are in a box to sell.
I just figure if I want to hear something like that why not just put on a Mercury Rev record?

Bump.

You can have it sent here if you want.

I'd be happy to get them printed if someone reaches out to Sonic.
I'm sure he would want to approve the design.

How would this even work regarding the buyer having the right to share it? even if they buy the tapes, they don't get the copyright of the compositions or performances do they? could they share it, but just not sell it commercially? It depends on Sonic & Jason. If they step in. I just aquired 250 d...

It was re-released or someone in Japan found more copies. A few of us finally found a few. Having collected Spiritualized from the beginning I cant think of what is the rarest release. There were loads of promo items. The 1993 tour box was pretty hard to find but the rarity is really just the insert...

People can ask what they want.
You done good.
There are always deals to be had.

I saw that on FB. Sounds great. We could all use more Aliens in our lives.

You and I must have exactly the same taste. Room is one of my favorite Simple Minds songs especially off of the first 3 records. That and Pleasantly Disturbed from Life In A Day. That one is an epic long track. Both done live on the 5 X 5 tour. I will look. I may well have that Rockpalast show as ma...

I have exchanged a few emails with Jim Kerr and he was worried that may happen. I told him I would never do that. In the end he said he is fine with my having them. What era is your "friend" after? There seems to be loads of Once Upon A Time and Street Fighting Years era stuff so far. I did come acr...

Well......all 3 parcels arrived this afternoon. Tapes? Thought I was getting approx. 100. Nuh uh. More like 250 tapes. Early demos, rehearsals and unreleased version and songs. Quite a treasure trove. The load of vinyl was also incredible. The numbered Australian Sister Feelings call which I have ne...

I'll let you know once Parcel Force get their shit together and actually pick up this haul in Glasgow and deliver it here. This is not proving so easy.

Well..... it's way more than five. One of my local record shops just bought a sizable collection of original UK LP's from the 70's. Most are A1 B1's. In the last two days I have purchased: Steely Dan- Can't Buy A Thrill " - Pretzel Logic " - The Royal Scam " - Aja Joe Walsh- So What " - Barnstorm Su...

I realize this a lot to ask but I have a favor to ask of anyone near Glasgow. Specifically near the G63 9AX postcode which is the Killearn area near Loch Lomond. This involves picking up a load of cassette tapes and a few other things and shipping them to Leeds. I would pay whatever petrol, shipping...

Any time you get this description: "Produced and recorded by Ripley Johnson (Moon Duo, Wooden Shjips) in Portland, and mixed by Chris Cohen, the album finds its niche in the hazy sonic landscape of private press country and psych records, and alongside artists like Relatively Clean Rivers, Jim Sull...

Ordered.
Listening to the d/l right now.
Sounds gorgeous.

What they said /\/\ will post something later excuse the wobbly camera at the start, a clip oof a couple of track from last night https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68SbTgYUMH8&feature=youtu.be Thank you for the video. It is fantastic. So nice to hear the reports back of another great gig. Glad you al...

Dinosaur Jr. is shite. J.Mascis vocals sound like he has a nasal problem.

Asshole.

what about this pete, I give you $80 bucks for a portion of your poo chatting on a circle. particularly about a portion of the morons that stick around here. furthermore, c'mon spzretent, are you truly going to represent it, on the off chance that I had slagged you off like that you'd in any case b...

As an aside I'd say that the later leg of the A&E tour was the band on real top form. I saw two early shows on the tour which were just *okay*.. The later one at Leamington Assembly was superb. Sometimes this band can really vary in their live form but when they are on, it's unbeatable This is why ...

Surely that only really applies to the big production 'throw the kitchen sink at it' kind of shows though, not these ones with the core band and three backing singers. Is that last line a dig? Feels like one. No. Not trying to have a dig. Just giving a different opinion. I didn't mean to apply this...

My .02 cents worth. I have seen countless Spiritualized shows like many people who post here. The only other time I have seen them play an album in it's entirety was the NYC Radio City LAGWAFIS show. I loved the recent show and what made it so different was playing a new album in order. Admittedly I...

Beautifully written and showing what persistence surrounding your favorite band can do and just how much it means.
It was meant to be.

I posted something in that FB thread.
I have never bought any of those releases.
I do have the Superior Viaduct Highs Lows and the RSD Fucked Up Inside reissue. Those seem to be distributed by the same Adasam guy? I don't understand this at all.

Well that was a very satisfying night. Great seeing loads of old friends at the pre show meetup just sorry I wasn't able to spend time with everyone. Show was excellent. The band all commented on how much they loved the venue.

I'd say Gusoline Alley. less than 2 blocks from the venue.

Not bought much recently but, after being tipped off by our very own Sunray, i HAD to buy this... Julian Cope - Barrowlands This show is and was one of the maddest and greatest I've ever attended. 3hrs, 2 sets, a shit tonne of magic mushrooms, and a roller coaster trip! Sunray PM'd me when he saw t...

The Chills play here tomorrow night and I am wondering if I should make the effort. Will I walk out just as pissed off as I did Saturday? Smaller club. Hopefully better crowd. It's not like The Chills tour every year. Bitching aside I have to give major props to the crowd at the House Of Love Leeds ...

Kikagaku Moyo at The Blind Pig Ann Arbor Saturday February 23, 2019 I hadn't been to the Blind Pig in 25 years. It's still a shithole. All they have done in 25 years is slapped black paint on the walls and a bit of sheet metal around the bar area. The stage is still approximately 12 inches tall. Not...

One of the best articles I have ever read on any Spacemen 3 LP.
Thanks for that link.

That show! Seemed like every person un the UK indie/spacerock scene was there. Kevin Shieds told me the show was in quad. It was LOUD. Also turns out one of my very best friends was there too and this was a few years before we had ever met. I also ran into a friend high up at Geffen who was there fo...

I had this bizarre occurrence when in London in 1993 to see Mercury Rev at the Clapham Grand and a few nights of 4AD's 13 Year Itch festival. I was over with 3 friends and when we got back to our hotel on the Friday night we turned on the TV and there was this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_df7l...

Perhaps you are not anti Yank Olan

I'll hold on to my memories of the Wakefield Unity Works gig then. Great comfy venue, great gig, great posse and right up front. No assholes. That was a brilliant night :D 'cept for that anti American bartender in the pub after the show who accused me of being rude. That still bothers me. i am neve...

I remember being pretty shock by the ferocity of Taste.
I loved 7th# Disaster and The Perfect Needle(still do).
Taste just seemed so much angrier.
I have a lot of time for the Creation singles too. Gorgeous is a word that springs to mind.

Thanks and same to everyone out there. Been a good year for us fans re: Spiritualized. New album. Some incredible shows. Looks like loads of shows in 2019. Here is to hoping this board springs back to life a bit. There should be plenty to share and talk about. Personal highlights this year include m...

Mercury Rev definitely lost a lot when David Baker left. I saw them a few times with him and it was, well, bonkers. But in a such a good way. I saw the legendary Clapham Grand show when loads of bands came out dressed as stuffed animals including Jason and I think Kate. I just got my copy of Primal ...

Agreed. This one is a shocker and such a huge loss. RIP Pete Shelley.

I suspect that Jason actually has very little in the vaults though. He doesn't strike me as someone that would record his gigs for later examination or posterity.

No. But he encourages it. He wants shows uploaded and shared.

This message was sent by Spiritualized's management and Jason specifically asked it be posted here: Jason is going to be interviewed by Q Magazine tomorrow afternoon and has asked us to share the following with you and if you could please post it to the forum today? “Spiritualized will be the subje...

Saw House Of Love at Leeds Beckett's 11/9. 30th anniversary of their debut LP on Creation. I expected an older crowd and that is what it was. House Of Love took the stage and immediately played the entire debut LP. Love In A Car just exploded midway through. Then they launched into one of the all ti...

I went right off this band around a year ago due to their unbearable conduct on Twitter. I'm aware not all of them are responsible for either the actions of this one guy or the Twitter bile, but their posts became more self-righteous and malevolent as time went on to the point where I couldn't list...

He must have one helluva publicist.
He has been irrelevant longer than he was ever any good.
