Spiritualized

nickh

Seems like there are more people from this board going to this night than were at Koko a few weeks ago for Spiritualized! I havenâ€™t felt this up for a gig for longer than I can remember. Last MBV gigs I went to were at ULU (both nights) supported one night by Sonic Boom and Godflesh or was it God?...

Just a progression really from Spacemen 3 who I hooked onto around mid 88. After a couple of years seeing the Spacemen as often I could it seemed only natural to see a band who were (with one obvious exception) Spacemen 3.

How I got into Spacemen 3 is a better story.

Well, not that much better.

Last year damn near finished me off too, good weekend though! This is the first one I am missing since 04 mainly because everyone I went with over the last few years couldnâ€™t face another weekend in the Somme. I also think Michael Eavisâ€™s arrogance and constant sniping at his patrons has finally...

Yep, Mudhoney were the support that night, in their pomp really around the time of Superfuzzbigmuff. Best Mudhoney gig I saw was a couple of months later at the School of Oriental & African Studies. Some guy took a picture of the band while he was diving off a speaker stack, it got reported in t...

Sorry Rob but I think they might have done two nights at Kilburn because I was at the Notre Dame Hall gig too! That was a wierd night, you could only buy non-alcoholic beer and I have a vague recollection of the janitor walking across the back of the stage half way through Suicide :D Got my Fucked u...

Jesus, Thurston Moore 50 years old!!

I remember seeing Sonic Youth at the Kilburn National Ballroom in 1989 and midway through the set he said "there are five Spacemen 3 t-shirts in the front row"

nickh

Thanks for pointing that out!! I did get some pretty good stuff from you and Pete over the years thoughâ€¦ I seem to remember getting a postcard from Charlie saying he had sold the mailing list on to try and raise a few quid for Outer Limits issue 3. As you rightly point out though I am no spring ch...

My memory is a bit sluggish these days so all I can see is I saw Spiritualized play at the ULU just when Anyway That You Want Me Came out. I was at that gig. It was a turning point as previous gigs had been very quiet and you could chat in a normal voice and be heard. The ULU gig was all wah-wah an...

Quiet Saturday night a few weeks ago, bottle and a half of wine to the good and mooching around on YouTube. A random train of thought went to a person I hadnâ€™t seen for several years and remembered going to see Cardiacs with her at the Surbiton Assembly Rooms in May 1985. Lo & behold there on ...

Maybe it's just me but...

Trent Reznor a genius?!

I must have missed that meeting.

I loved it, so good to have ringing ears after a Spiritualized gig again.

Could have done without the paralytic dude in sunglasses though.

nickh

That is a real shame.

Feeling pretty nervous about the Roundhouse now, I have got tickets for the last night and won't be happy until they come on stage and even then...

nickh

The Spacemen 3 hater went to the Commonwealth Institute gig which I didn't get a ticket for and reported afterwards that Spiritualized were as bad as Spacemen 3. I am still pissed off that I missed this.

Bastard.

nickh

She's never forgiven Spiritualized for giving her a night of hell at Hammersmith on the Let It Come Down tour. The white noise, extreme strobe effect wasn't for her liking. Hehehehe. I remember a girl behind us crying because she hated it so much, or maybe she was on a bad trip, who knows. that was...

nickh

Anyone go last night?

nickh

I haven't been to Dublin for 7/8 years but there were some quite nice places in Lower Leeson Street back then. A pal of mine stayed at the Leeson Inn when he was working out there and he wasn't exactly rolling in money at the time so could be a good deal there...

Good luck

My first ever post on this website was a Slowdive question and by and large most of the feedback was positive. I love them now but never listened to them at the time, fool that I was I believed they were just a My Bloody Valentine rip-off because the NME said so. Spin forward a few years later and I...

There is an English option on their home page, see if this link works:

Good luck.

Did take a while but yes, just ordered mine too. Thanks for the heads up although going to be tough having to wait until the end of June. Still find it hard to believe they have reformed. I managed to get a couple of tickets for the Roundhouse and I can't wait for that gig either, seems a lifetime a...

There are several links around for a My Bloody Valentine box set called The Complete MBV released on sony last year but none of the usual places (Amazon etc) are stocking it. Anybody ever seen this or owns a copy?

nickh

Tender Prey was the first Nick Cave album I bought but itâ€™s going to have to be Your Funeral, My Trial for me. I love everything they did up to No More Shall We Part but YF,MT works best as an album imo. Love the brooding menace of The Carny, Stranger Than Kindnessâ€¦

According to my Ipod Rough Guide there is a diagnostic mode which might help you. To get to this hold down the left and right buttons on the click wheel and push select. A new menu should appear but they warn it is very techie. They suggest you read up before you try this and point towards ipoding....

Bring it to your apple store if you still have guarantee on it - i think thats the best you can do. If you have no guarantee anymore, maybe you can afford to spend some money to let them repair it. If you cant you can try http://rockbox.org - maybe they support your model there. Also i think they d...

Anyone ever had an ipod do this? OK, couple of weeks ago after being on a charger all night, the damn thing wouldnâ€™t play the first song I tried to play but seemed fairly happy to play the next oneâ€¦for a while. Then it just seemed to pack up completely. When I reset the ipod to factory settings ...

No, all gone.

Thanks anyway

Tickets went on sale at 9.00 am today, sold out by 9.30 Anyone have better luck than me?

Heartbroken.

Submarine by Submarine. Yeah. I love this message board for for reasons like this post alone. I was looking for a Swans album tonight and ran across this not even realizing I owned it. I played it tonight for the first time in probably 13 years and it sounds way better now. There was some 7" t...

Burning World - Swans

nickh

Just thought of another Happy Mondays / Performance reference - Mad Cyril!

Just got my copy, been waiting years for this. Picked up a great copy (finally) of Gimme Shelter the other day so now just waiting for (steels himself for mass outbreaks of guffaws) Dougal and the Blue Cat.

nickh

Thank you. Had that appalling sinking feeling that I was going to have to spend Â£Â£Â£Â£Â£ trying find all these songs again.

nickh

I have stored my MP3â€™s on a 160gb hard drive which has been damaged and looks like I am not going to be able to retrieve them. The songs are not currently stored on a computer so the only access to them I have is on my i-pod. Is there anyway of transferring the files from the i-pod to a computer? ...

nickh

This was never going to be a proper gig though was it? A tenner was never going to get us into the Queen Elizabeth Hall. I enjoyed Sonicâ€™s set and liked the fact that it was just going on in the foyer, kind of reminded me of An Evening of Contemporary Sitar Music (which to be fair, I never went to...

old enough to have seen Spacemen 3!

Just noticed Stones in the Park is out again on DVD, Rock 'n' Roll Circus is out, Sympathy for the Devil is out, anyone got a heads up as to the possible UK release of Gimme Shelter?

Smiles/ Never Be the Same/freeform-Funhouse-white noise bit definitely. Watched the set at Glastonbury 2004 in the new stage with a mate who had never seen Spiritualized before and he was walking around after telling anyone that would listen that that was just about the best thing heâ€™d ever seen. ...

Bye man.

Bloody hell itâ€™s tempting. I first saw them during the â€˜A date with Elvis Tourâ€™ and even with my poor arithmetic that must have been 20 years ago and they were no spring chickens then, Lux must be about 60 by now!! The trouble is they havenâ€™t made a decent record since then and having to sit...

This is great. There is stuff on here I haven't seen since Snub TV! Shame the Hypnotized video is not on here though, I used to love that...haven't seen that for probably 14/15 years

I have no problem with having the silence at Old Trafford, Craven Cottage etc. but at every ground in the country? Why no minute's silence at any other ground other than Craven Cottage when Johnny Haynes died (tragically in a car crash) a month or so back? This guy was the consumate proffessional wh...

Has anybody heard any of this guys stuff?

nickh

I guess the people trying to sell Pygmalion for Â£39.99 and 109 euro on ebay better cross their fingers that someone buys them soon I paid fairly close to that a couple of years ago, it is a great record but is anything that was available on general release really worth paying thirty odd quid for? ...

Not before time either

Just picked up a (pretty ropey) DVD version of this on e-bay.

Just wondered what the discerning contributors to this board thinkâ€¦

Mercury Rev were awesome live around the time of Yerself is Steam and Boces. I remember the show at the Clapham Grand where they trashed a piano with scaffold poles and JP came on and played with them at the end. That had to be one of the loudest gigs I have ever been to, I felt like I was being pun...

Be pretty interested to hear about favourite ever Spacemen 3 / Spiritualized show. Might not be as easy to answer as you might think Fave Spacemen 3 show â€“ Dingwalls January 89, the first ever Spacemen gig I went to and it blew my head clean off. Didnâ€™t think anything would surpass the Sonic You...

Spiritualized at the Commonwealth Institute in 92?93? Didn't bother with buying a ticket because I thought I would get one on the night, couldn't even find a bloody tout. The worst part was my two mates said they were amazing and weren't particulalry keen in the first place. Still rankles today

I like Slowdive. Though I qualify it by saying "I have to be in the mood for them". I'm a big shoegazer fan and to me they are more the definiton of what the press was caling "shoegaze" back then. MBV never qualified IMO. They are my all time favorite band and more of a ground b...

nickh

Not really much of a one for contributing to message boards but just wondered what the consensus of opinion of Slowdive is. Personally I thought they were a joke until about four years ago when I heard Souvlaki. The MBV comparisons were a little unfair (although given the whole shoe-gazing thing at ...
