allegedly Glasgow will also be a port of call...don't know when

Jasonsmith

I have it on good authority that the massive attack shows will be acoustic

Jasonsmith

Can someone connected with the band (Ben Crook?) please confirm whether the Massive Attack support slots are electric or acoustic? I'll be in Luxemburg this evening (my 5th acoustic date) and fantastic though the shows are, I'd like to know what I can expect before I book holiday, shell out for flig...

Jasonsmith

I just hate that but at least we have eBay, plus February 5th can't come quick enough. And what a lot of choice on E-bay there is. It kind of leaves a nasty taste in the mouth when people try and cash in a what is supposed to be a charity gig. Let's hope the Massive are better than the Scream were....

According to this

FUI on e-bay, apparently a bit beaten up

Jasonsmith

I thought the crowd was a bit subdued. Having said that I think the raucousness of Edinburgh went a bit too far in the other direction...

Jasonsmith

...but the funny crackling sound at the start of Guns of Brixton is a genuine recording of velcro seat covers from the recording studio...

Jasonsmith

I was there as well, waiting for New Order to come on...I thought the Sugarcubes were good, the Gaye Bikers on Acid were awful, but I don't remember much about the Spacemen. Ah, the follies of youth

Liquid Team vs Ernte Spacemen 3 covers 7" A split project between german band Ernte and Liquid Team, a french power pop quatuor. Both formation being absolute fans of the Spacemen 3 (who then split into Sonic Boom, Ear and of course Spiritualized), soon came the idea to make a special tribute t...

I can't listen to that idiot whistling and 'whoo'ing on the Edinburgh recording any more. I need this recording. Because I'm also a technodunce, if someone could burn me CDs I'd be very grateful. I'm not a big trader of live stuff but I can offer the Ernte/Liquid Team Spaceman 3 tribute single on or...

February 1st with Pram live and sonic dj'ing (info pinched from the Saint Etienne site)

Jasonsmith

I wouldn't hold your breath...I seem to remember Ben Crook (any relation to canary midfield god Ian?) whetting our appetites with intimations of Sage show downloads and nothing ever came of that. Plus the 'Complementary medicines' which have been 'coming soon' since this site was set up...

Jasonsmith

They are also playing GebÃ¤ude 9 in Cologne, which must rate as one of the smokiest venues in the world (but they always seem to get good bands, I've seen GSYBE!, the Fall, Low (twice), Add N to X, and Silver Mt. Zion there, I just hate smelling like an ashtray when I come out).

Jasonsmith

The current bass player (Echoboy) replaced 'static' Martin Shellard I think sometime in 2003?

Jasonsmith

The funniest thing is the bass player - he's standing up there at the front next to the guitar folks, but looks like he's either very bored or possibly mainlined 50mg of valium before the show! Not the same bloke who plays bass now and sings rather good backing vox. That would be Martin Shellard?

Jasonsmith

Having never been there before (and only having seen 4 of the UK shows) I'm going to Luxemburg! The venue appears to be in a disused steelworks in the middle of nowhere, but after a bit of detective work I managed to book a hotel in Esch sur Alzette (4 mins on train from venue) for just â‚¬45 :D Loo...

Jasonsmith

Just got 'Christmas as I knew it' by Johnny Cash. Not bad, includes a version of 'Amen'!

Jasonsmith

I was in Brighton, London, Manchester and Edinburgh, and though they were all very good, I thought that Edinburgh (very closely followed by London) was the best musical performance/sound (though I was sat next to the mixing desk as opposed to the front row like in London and Manchester). As far as c...

I got chatting to one of the string quartet after the Brighton show and apparently they were recommended by Tom Edwards

Just got back from the runegrammofon (runegrammofon.com) tour night in Cologne. Opening were Susanna & the magical orchestra, very simple and pleasant cover versions with vocals + Fender Rhodes/piano (including Love will tear us apart) with a Mum/BjÃ¶rk vibe. Next up was In the country, the guy ...

Jasonsmith

'oversold' by the promoters? Does that mean there might be problems with officially allowed capacities/licensing/fire escapes etc? They're pretty strict about stuff like that over here in Germany.

Jasonsmith

Thanks Jig for digging out baz/carpenter/spam*'s archive mail where he appears to concede that on occasion his 'youth and anger' can lead him to go a little too far in disturbing 'the vibe'. To be perfectly honest, along with the offensiveness, the pure hypocrisy 'lets play music on the world's smal...

Jasonsmith

For the same reason some poor stricken mod felt so stung by one of my posts to the "bitchin" thread - and its zero bullshit cuts to the red raw meat of the matter - that he was compelled to delete it in a failed effort to deny the inherent truth and authority it spoke with (and still spea...

Jasonsmith

Well I for one am sick of it and I'm not prepared to look away any more. I don't care if people live out their petty squabbles in online forums, I'd just rather that if they have to do it here â€” a space (allegedly) dedicated to a band that I care deeply about and one that plays an important part i...

Jasonsmith

Not censorship, rather self-censorship. I can swear with the best of them (in two languages!) when someone cuts me up on the motorway or my computer crashes before I've had the chance to back-up the last hour's work, but I would never dream of coming on here and subjecting anyone to a torrent of abu...

Jasonsmith

This is a heartfelt appeal to everyone who comes on here to please think before posting scatalogical abuse and absurd threats. Who does it serve? I think the anonymity afforded by the web is part of problem. I wonder how many of these posters would bother if everyone used their own name and their pa...

I'm not the biggest advocate of illegally downloading whole albums of officially available material... I hope the eight 50 MB files Phil Spector session files you posted under the 'All I want for Xmas' thread don't fall under this category then. Oh, and I'd wash that T-shirt before I wore it if I w...

Jasonsmith

To get back to the subject, I think it's a general phenomenon nowadays that people somehow believe everything is too expensive. Here in Germany the most successful electronics store caught the zeitgeist with its amazingly successful slogan 'Geiz ist geil' = Stinginess is sexy/cool. If all you are co...

Wasn't last year's Sage show supposed to be a collaboration with the Northern Symphonia? Electric SPZ plus a full orchestra and gospel choir â€” now that would be mindblowing â€” how about it J?

Jasonsmith

Errr... which date would that be? The last show (Edinburgh) or last night's show (Nottingham?)

Jasonsmith

Two very minor gripes: the strings were for my taste a bit low in the mix (mind you I was sitting in the front row) and to make Cool waves even more special I think J should leave the chorus to the gospel singers. Otherwise this, along with Brighton were 2 of the best gigs I have ever seen. Looking ...

Jasonsmith

how about a vow of silence while the man is playing? I've had a few gigs spoilt by people yacking to their friends and at the QEH almost came to blows with someone who was making their third trip to the bar and so had to barge past during the transcendendant intro to 'I think I'm in love'. I've got ...

If you're going to Brighton by train from London on Sunday, there's a bus service from Hayward's Heath, presumably due to engineering works or the wrong leaves or something. Baggsy the back seat!

There's a music themed cafe in Camden Town that sells a crack whore pizza. I can't remember all the toppings but fish fingers, ketchup, and crisps were three of them. There's a rudeboy pizza too, that has jerk chicken, which I'll definitely try next time I'm there.

Jasonsmith

It works for me...have you got your sound output on mute? Or are your headphones not plugged in properly?

I've got a spare ticket for the Komedia gig on Sunday 22nd October. Rather than try and make a profit on Ebay, I thought someone here might want it at face value (14.50).

In the pharmacy. Does the presence of the bright green and yellow indicate a possible more upbeat direction for the band?

After his set at the Daniel Johnston gig he wouldn't shut up...I can't make it all out, but it's probably more thanI've ever heard him say in total having seen SPZ about 15 times live.

I was at the game, and Italy deserved the win. Germany didn't create enough chances and were slow getting forward. Ballack was off his game too.
