it's refugee travel, but megabus.com would, in a worst case scenario, get you there pretty cheap - it won't be as cheap booking now but even if it means a bizarre route i'm sure you could get a lot closer.

anorthernsoul

wasn't that him with short hair? i'll have to have another watch ...

anorthernsoul

woo!

how exciting, i'm about to watch whatever the medication-teaser-trailer is.

i like the colour changing bit at the start. it unnerved me a little but i've come to terms with it, and in time, to love it.

anorthernsoul

where can you stand at the festival hall? someone on the valentines board posted this earlier, from the observer. She returned to making records at regular intervals through the Nineties, a time when her legacy could be seen with performers like Sonic Youth, PJ Harvey, and Hole. Her own favourite ba...

anorthernsoul

heh, well, i still think you ought to poke around ... even the b-sides, there's some lovely downer sounding songs in the vain of long life on vanishing point, like 'how does it feel to belong'. i think bobby's pretty much half of the attraction for me ... i really credit him above anyone else for my...

anorthernsoul

i can't understand anything other than complete love for primal scream. screamadelica, to my ears, isn't dated at all - there's things like piano breaks in don't fight it, feel it and twinkly synths that you wouldn't hear today but it's a beautiful sounding record. right on about kevin's if they mov...

anorthernsoul

what are the others ..? i would've expected things to surface as b-sides if they hadn't made it on to the lp. i remember an nme interview where jase talked about going down slow as something that didn't make it on to the album, only for it to be released a little later. does anyone remember the post...

anorthernsoul

ahh right ...
perhaps that means that they're the orchestra that'll turn up on the lp, if there's no more gigs.

i guess there's still hope of a choir of sorts ..?

and i wonder who's missing from the band; presumably tom?

did he say owt else, guest?

anorthernsoul

i saw that at the pictures around here, perhaps a year ago ... there was a q and a with guy madden after, too, he seemed a nice guy.

what was mahalia like? her 'silent night, holy night' is one of my favourite recordings ever and i gather she did it on the concert last night ..?

anorthernsoul

good to hear last night's was good ... staple singers footage sounds pretty appetising, and i assume it's gonna deal with the pre stax stuff ..? and i kind of had my fingers crossed for some square club/copa footage, too ... the tracklisting i posted wasn't a list of programmes i'm afraid, it's the ...

anorthernsoul

there's a little preview of the series line up on the bbc soul deep site. various internet mumblings have complained about the last one, which is the wet, later with jools end of contemporary soul music. equally impressive is the line up of bbc4 programmes ... there's standing in the shadows of moto...

anorthernsoul

ahh right, it's mr webadelica ... your site's the best, similarly the valentines one ... i'm keeping my fingers crossed for atp next year ... i'm off to see kev do meltdown next month, too ... the alan mcgee quote says the new scream demos are great, which means they're still not there yet. i heard ...

anorthernsoul

errr ... you know that's been and gone, last year, right ..?

anorthernsoul

has anyone got an update on this?

i'm contorted into a horrible combination of crossed fingers, crossed legs, crossed toes and crossed eyes hoping that there'll be a choir.

anorthernsoul

gotcha ... i'll check out freeheat. i was never really in the loop - shonn's taught me the joys of lazycame, but i've not got as far as the later stuff yet. i did hear some of sister vanilla's lp though, which has jim, william and stephen pastel all over it. it's nice and pretty crazy in parts. i'm ...

anorthernsoul

i think 'i am what i am', whatever that was, could be filed under live experimentation. i think it's difficult - if spiritualized have become less experimental in playing new things live, as they've progressed, i'd attribute it more to the scheduling of tours and things like that. as a littler band ...

anorthernsoul

Nobody's Gonna Trip My Wire - Freeheat what's that like, jig? i downloaded some freeheat the other week and deleted it before i'd really had a listen. have you heard the sister vanilla lp? Damn Nam (Ain't Going To Vietnam) - Leon Thomas (Live @ Fillmore East, NYC. 1970.) i've only just heard leon t...

anorthernsoul

i think harmony's a short, bass-led instrumental that's available on one of the early boots - maybe that burberry (?) show or whatever it is. it's nice, kind of fifties-y.

anorthernsoul

do you have much of a tape or compilation making history, $26? not to derail this thread too much - hopefully hopeful recipients of jighits can still sign up - but perhaps this could also be a tracklisting-dump. i'll start by contributing art of the mix , a site where you can search for a song and s...

anorthernsoul

But they ALWAYS sounded like the Beatles, even when they were good (and TRex and Slade and the New Seekers (!)). Check out those early B sides: I am a Walrus, Cum on Feel the Noize, ect ect. i know it was intentional and all but ... those two covers are ... covers. i know that they sound a bit like...

anorthernsoul

well, i think you're both right, apart from the bits about anything on the new lp being worth anything. there's no reason to stick with them out of sentimentality, but their reputation - beatles-knock-off-loudmouth-copyists has gone a bit over the top. words can't do justice to just how much i disli...

anorthernsoul

do you know when the june date'll be ..?
i'm in london a couple of days later but haven't much on beforehand. if there'll be flailing sun-ra-y trumpet sounds then i'll be there.

anorthernsoul

He seemed to take this rock and roll myth to "Scallie" levels. For those not in the UK. He is a piece of white trash who got really lucky because his brother could write songs. i've a bit of a soft spot for liam, one that fades the worse they get, but i think you're just wrong there - he'...

anorthernsoul

drop me a pm warmth, i can help out with a fair bit of that if you're on soulseek; lots if it's readily available and already assembled on there. i'm off to check out that stereolab thing now ... i heard one of their mixes which was fantastic, there was a marcos valle track in there too (that freio ...

anorthernsoul

ta for that; that's top news. the two new things they played at brixton were ... well, weren't like anything but were pretty heavy, poppy songs. and it's pretty nice with scream albums that whatever tag gets put on them there's always bits of it which are on the other side; shine like stars on screa...

anorthernsoul

for spaceman3 who wants Â£30 for his spares - i hope you get cock-rot you fucker.

are ... you ... serious ..?

anorthernsoul

confusingly enough, some group called 'sonic boom 6' are playing jilly's on oxford road on sunday, so a poster told me today.

is anyone going to dry bar tomorrow?

anorthernsoul

is right - i saw them in ninety seven for the first time and even that was too late. i'd swap most of the gigs i've ever been to to see oasis in 93 or 94 - apparently the southend gig was pretty ropey but live by the sea still knocks me out. i ought to dig out some early live boots really. i've paid...

anorthernsoul

bad monkey bad NO NO NO. don't go and see them; it'll just sour your memories. they're so bad. you'll lose any will to when you hear the new stuff anyway. oasis are the band that got me into music and i clung to hope that they were still alright for years after they went shite, but what they do now'...

anorthernsoul

a furries issue from around the time of phantom power rings a bell - lovely aperturiffic grayscale portraits of the group, but i never noticed that prize comp ... lady's off a single only issued in some european country or other i think, on the flip is the similarly fantastic but-altogether-differen...

anorthernsoul

People just don't seem quite so angry about it anymore. Well, I've voted today, and it certainly weren't for Blair. it is baffling - i've even caught myself feeling ambivalent or cheesed off about the war and nothing more. one of the best things i read about the anti-war march was that it was 'huma...

anorthernsoul

i'll probably pootle along and blandly vote lib deb, tomorrow - not as any sort of protest vote but because i'll be able to sleep afterwards - but i do think they're being very silly about iraq; they were so quiet and ambivalent when it was a real issue, and when the war became inevitable i'm sure c...

anorthernsoul

this thread's proving fantastic for picking up names and recommendations rather than just the usual suspects one might endorse. i think 'curtis' and 'roots' will be the first couple on my curtis hitlist, i only really know move on up and the other side of town on curtis, and keep on keeping on on ro...

anorthernsoul

i've heard a bit of there's no place like america today; billy jack, when seasons change and a few others are on there i think. amazon offers various second hand imports and things if you're desperate. it sounds really good though, yeh ... apparently it's one of bobby gillespie's favourite lps, or a...

anorthernsoul

stand!, great choice. does anyone else clock the laughing/speech outro on side two as a sample used on screamadelica? they slowed it down a little ... as for the soul jazz comps - i'm investigating, but, just out of curiosity, you know that i mean souljazz , the label? it's a london based reissue/co...

anorthernsoul

And to answer the original question......If i was looking over someones CD collection, and they had the entire, complete collection of CD's that come free with Mojo Magazine then i'd be impressed by that. god, they're great, aren't they? i always regret missing a mojo now. i had 'soul riot' on only...

anorthernsoul

i don't think i can bring myself to make a list just yet. i know that it'll be pretty influenced by what i'm after at the moment; i know if i saw someone had a decent irma thomas lp, the harry smith anthology, journey in satchindananda by alice coltrane, workin' and steamin' by miles, worried blues ...

anorthernsoul

"Screamadelica" is an obvious classic that most people own, but "EXTRMNTR" is fantastic as well and not nearly as well known . definitely - i unashamedly adore the last five scream records (i'm excluding live lps, best ofs and echo dek), and would even put vanishing point or evi...

anorthernsoul

i could really get nuts and be really specific knowing full well i'm never likely to see most of the titles i could list. But thats no fun. aww yeh it is fun ... i think my list would be dictated by things i want, so, seeing decent collections of the following would excite me; soul jazz compilation...

anorthernsoul

Rolling Stones- Exile On Main St. Velvet Underground- 3rd 13th Floor Elevators- Psychedelic Sounds Of Sly & The Family Stone- There's A Riot Going On Stooges- Fun House Neil Young- Zuma Marvin Gaye- Whats Going On Yo La Tengo- Painful My Bloody Valentine- Loveless Byrds- Notorous Byrd Brothers ...

anorthernsoul

have a look at the fifth question down on here ...

interesting question though. there are some things that you can make pretty safe bets on. i guess if someone owned sam cooke live at harlem, or michael head and the strands then i'd think they were alright.

anorthernsoul

yeh, it just sounds like lou going CHHHHHHHHHHHHH out of nowhere ... i can't think it'd be anything different.

anorthernsoul

ohh, obviously support acts, as were the soledad brothers, six by seven, an endless list of bands; i just mean that spiritualized gigs have, perhaps more often than at another bands concerts, been dj sets and then spiritualized, like on the let it come down or amazing grace tours. i acknowledge that...

anorthernsoul

ohh choir , choir choir choir ... spiritualized haven't usually had support over the last few years and it's been pretty fine without. jason's gospel megamix that got played before the last tour was enough. i'll dj! choir though, really! edited to add- i don't suppose if you get a choir you could le...

anorthernsoul

is it worth me butting in with ill-informed comments, only having read half of the thread? you decide; the american spring lp is by ... american spring ... not the honeys ...

it is lovely though ... that mountain one ...

anorthernsoul

i'd love it if you've got it, yeh, but i feel like i should be buying an extra seat on your flight for all the things you're bringing. so it's the lp of her singing live in church? i really wanna hear it, the amazing grace makes me wanna explode. and yeh, it is pretty sexy that 12". good stuff.

anorthernsoul

ahh, have you actually got it shonn? the evening session thing was on a tape you made me, but i assumed it was from the complete works or somewhere else. the actual record itself is love ly, with the steve gullick tinted picture sleeve and all ... i was always under the impression that it was a one ...

the selfish pervert in me wanted to see the mc5 and so forth doing their thing... not so much dizzee rascal.... funnily enough, i think jason might have hand in (or at least supported) dizee rascal, and mightn't be so keen on mc3. he's definitely said he's a fan anyway. i like your dream band with ...

Great example: compare the Skip Spence album 'Oar' on CD and on LP - I have both (and I think I've mentioned this before). The incredible War In Peace song features some really wonderful distorted guitar on vinyl - it sort of bleeds at times in a way that really gets me. On CD this distortion is fl...

He had a falling out w/ Ian McGregor, because McGregor wanted the part in 'The Beach' , but gave it to DiCaprio, did they mend their differences ? i don't think so, or not unless it's happened recently. as far as i understand, ewan had been given the part, or was naturally expected to play it, but ...

Stone Roses Stone Roses (lemons??!11)

sorry for chipping in with generic lp cover knowledge (you know, delia smith ...), but, the lemons are a nod to french rioters and protesters who carried half-lemons in their pockets; they neutralise the effects of the tear gas used by riot police.

anorthernsoul

Bad day. Really bad day. spzretent- don't be daft, don't worry about it ... the moderators patrolling the spammers and all is appreciated anyway. all of us have bad days. did that bloemfontain (i can't imagine how badly i've mis-spelled that) tour happen in the end? i've gotta confess to only havin...

But I'm staying out of it. Except to say I'll defend Cumbria, the most beautiful part of England - it might be in the middle of nowhere but it's the finest countryside this nation has to offer. I love it up there. i've never been to cumbria, i've been toying with doing a bit of nationwide mooching ...

yeah, i'm in. good for you veiko ... i thought i was making an effort coming from manchester, you lot make me want to make it a round trip just so it feels worthwhile ... i'm arsed. this isn't shit that needs to be on this message board. and you know what, thats what moderators are for. travel itin...

Shoudln't this be handled via private messages? why? there's not an overwhelming traffic of other board activity, and judging by the people who've chipped in, it's reliant on the contributions of people who know a little about travel or england or hotels or whatever. it's nice anyway, this isn't a ...

Shonn, if you book early you can get cheaper rail tickets from London to Glasgow... if you buy at the time, especially if its Friday, its far more. uh huh ... two week advances make manchester to london return (with a railcard) fourteen pounds, which is fantastic. that'd be twenty pounds otherwise,...

good luck with london. i think there's beds and little else for a tenner a night in earls court, but that's a pretty vague memory.
