Hooray! Just bought Record Collector, that hippest of hip, down with the kids "We'll put you on the cover and next week you'll be number one" magazine, and this is what it said about the records:

Work Is A Four Letter Word
"More soul than Wigan Casino" they promise. Go-Kart 800 revive the glory of the Milkshakes; Family Way could be (male/female) Edwynn Collins clones; John Sims (a band) pluck the hint of genius out of a Joy Division bassline; and Michael Hibbett (a man) shambles winningly like Jarvis Cocker fronting a C86 outfit. More fun than Wigan Pier, certainly.

Brain Cakes
"Now That's What I Call Lo-Fi Volume 1". Anything on the Sorted label, home to synth genii the Freed Unit (included here), is worth the cover price alone. And there's a fecundity of lower-than-thou despatches from the indie underworld on this marvellous compilation. Features gems from the likes of Voon, Milk From The Stars and the not-so-squeaky-clean The Washing Up Liquid.

Cool huh? I note that this lot managed to spell Hibbett correctly but then went a bit berserk with the rest of it - what the fuck is going on here??? It is most rum. Also i hope that the use of the name "Freed Unit" in the second one doesn't lead to punitive legal penalties.

So whats the story with Gary Horse leaving so soon already? Whats the DEAL? Is he getting HASSLED BY THE MAN for getting too many emails?

IMHO I will write to him and ASK. Hang in there.

As for others joining the list, IMHO sure, just as long as theyre up to it. Probably. As someone said yesterday i think, whingeing twats who say 'oh no! I've just had to to delete 8 emails! oh dear!' should be gassed. IMHO

Morning all. Well done to all for getting top reviews in Record Collector etc. You must be all smiley. Is this where the pop career takes off with gusto? Mark, why do they say "(a man)" after your name?

So are any of you doing gigs around Leicester in the near future? I quite fancy coming down and meeting with all concerned. I also want to see Jo's bottle top trick.

Soz peeps. Too much to do and this list just isn't controversial enough.

For instance, none of you swear or say bollocks. None of you stay out 'til 5 o'clock in the morning without your parents' consent and none of you have your genitalia pierced.

John Sims are playing at the Physio on the 17th, but they're crap, especially the baldy one who smells of weeeeee. We're meant to be doing a Nottingham gig on the Big John Sims and Me Tour, but it's been left in the hands of That Doley Gilchrist, last seen in Aldi's wearing carpet slippers smoking Mayfairs and looking for budget fishfingers, so who knows?

Other people: Let them all in, they'll soon get sick of it.

Why have all these bloody virus warnings turned up all of a sudden? The students aren't back yet, so what is going on? The only thing worse than people who send virus warnigs are people who use sodding smileys - one of you lot was doing it today and i do not know whom twas but stop it, lest i raise my STERN EYEBROW at you.

Today i have been working very hard, looking at The Simpsons, Tom & Jerry and The Flintstones on the Internet to find pics for a presentation. My job is GRATE.

Which one is the Physio? Is it the one where I saw Voon play last time? Or is it the one where HMHB played last time?

It's the one where HMHB played - you saw us at the Pump & Tap, which is CLOSING soon, which is a right pain.

Yes. Good isn't it? See below for further:

Wahey! What a brilliant lunchtime! I got my expenses thru for Colchester, so went off in search a REVERB box thing - reckoning to spend an hundred quid if necessary. Went to the Scary Shop on Evington Road - you must all know where i mean - and a SCARY and TOUGH bloke (who was a bit like Neil's Grandad actually) said "Ullo" when i went in - reverb pedal was 40 quid, but a DELAY (which is better anyway) was only 25!!! "Does it work?" i quaked. "Yeah, go for it" he said, so i was forced to obey. I've got a Delay Pedal! Crucial Dub Direction here i come!

SO, having just "saved" 75 quid (hem hem) i went and SPEND LOADS OF MONEY and bought:

10 C60s (for the huge rush coming on my tape, obviously) The Lungleg Album
Some GRATE black courdourouy jeans (i LURVE black curdruy jeans) A SMART shirt which was had a label saying "22.99" on a section that said "#18", but actually cost #10.99
A book
Another book

Wahey! Isn't payday BRILLIANT??

     Speaking of Marmite (ok ok I'm a couple of mails behind) I made a
     smashing sort of casserole for my lunch yesterday, as I went home to
     save a few quid on lunch.

     It was made of half an onion, half a pound of mushrooms, a little tin
     of beans, and a spoonfull of marmite, fried a bit, sort of, and served
     on some slices of garlic bread (the recipe for which is too
     complicated to list here).

     It was very nice.

     I'm still tired, Ade or Jon can you, er, help me out here? D'yer know
     what I mean? I can bring some MICHELANGELO to the party for the train
     journey home.

     I just remembered Gaz said he might come along tonight, I'll mail him,
     hope he doesn't mind.

Hooray! Just bought Record Collector, that hippest of hip, down with the kids "We'll put you on the cover and next week you'll be number one" magazine, and this is what it said about the records:

Work Is A Four Letter Word
"More soul than Wigan Casino" they promise. Go-Kart 800 revive the glory of the Milkshakes; Family Way could be (male/female) Edwynn Collins clones; John Sims (a band) pluck the hint of genius out of a Joy Division bassline; and Michael Hibbett (a man) shambles winningly like Jarvis Cocker fronting a C86 outfit. More fun than Wigan Pier, certainly.

Brain Cakes
"Now That's What I Call Lo-Fi Volume 1". Anything on the Sorted label, home to synth genii the Freed Unit (included here), is worth the cover price alone. And there's a fecundity of lower-than-thou despatches from the indie underworld on this marvellous compilation. Features gems from the likes of Voon, Milk From The Stars and the not-so-squeaky-clean The Washing Up Liquid.

Cool huh? I note that this lot managed to spell Hibbett correctly but then went a bit berserk with the rest of it - what the fuck is going on here??? It is most rum. Also i hope that the use of the name "Freed Unit" in the second one doesn't lead to punitive legal penalties.

So whats the story with Gary Horse leaving so soon already? Whats the DEAL? Is he getting HASSLED BY THE MAN for getting too many emails?

IMHO I will write to him and ASK. Hang in there.

As for others joining the list, IMHO sure, just as long as theyre up to it. Probably. As someone said yesterday i think, whingeing twats who say 'oh no! I've just had to to delete 8 emails! oh dear!' should be gassed. IMHO

So are any of you doing gigs around Leicester in the near future? I quite fancy coming down and meeting with all concerned. I also want to see Jo's bottle top trick.

Soz peeps. Too much to do and this list just isn't controversial enough.

For instance, none of you swear or say bollocks. None of you stay out 'til 5 o'clock in the morning without your parents' consent and none of you have your genitalia pierced.

John Sims are playing at the Physio on the 17th, but they're crap, especially the baldy one who smells of weeeeee. We're meant to be doing a Nottingham gig on the Big John Sims and Me Tour, but it's been left in the hands of That Doley Gilchrist, last seen in Aldi's wearing carpet slippers smoking Mayfairs and looking for budget fishfingers, so who knows?

Other people: Let them all in, they'll soon get sick of it.

Why have all these bloody virus warnings turned up all of a sudden? The students aren't back yet, so what is going on? The only thing worse than people who send virus warnigs are people who use sodding smileys - one of you lot was doing it today and i do not know whom twas but stop it, lest i raise my STERN EYEBROW at you.

Today i have been working very hard, looking at The Simpsons, Tom & Jerry and The Flintstones on the Internet to find pics for a presentation. My job is GRATE.

Which one is the Physio? Is it the one where I saw Voon play last time? Or is it the one where HMHB played last time?

It's the one where HMHB played - you saw us at the Pump & Tap, which is CLOSING soon, which is a right pain.

> > [Finally - I get a chance to be cliquey, and exclude the London wide-boys]

Yes. Good isn't it? See below for further:

Wahey! What a brilliant lunchtime! I got my expenses thru for Colchester, so went off in search a REVERB box thing - reckoning to spend an hundred quid if necessary. Went to the Scary Shop on Evington Road - you must all know where i mean - and a SCARY and TOUGH bloke (who was a bit like Neil's Grandad actually) said "Ullo" when i went in - reverb pedal was 40 quid, but a DELAY (which is better anyway) was only 25!!! "Does it work?" i quaked. "Yeah, go for it" he said, so i was forced to obey. I've got a Delay Pedal! Crucial Dub Direction here i come!

SO, having just "saved" 75 quid (hem hem) i went and SPEND LOADS OF MONEY and bought:

10 C60s (for the huge rush coming on my tape, obviously) The Lungleg Album
Some GRATE black courdourouy jeans (i LURVE black curdruy jeans) A SMART shirt which was had a label saying "22.99" on a section that said "#18", but actually cost #10.99
A book
Another book

Wahey! Isn't payday BRILLIANT??

     Speaking of Marmite (ok ok I'm a couple of mails behind) I made a
     smashing sort of casserole for my lunch yesterday, as I went home to
     save a few quid on lunch.

     It was made of half an onion, half a pound of mushrooms, a little tin
     of beans, and a spoonfull of marmite, fried a bit, sort of, and served
     on some slices of garlic bread (the recipe for which is too
     complicated to list here).

     It was very nice.

     I'm still tired, Ade or Jon can you, er, help me out here? D'yer know
     what I mean? I can bring some MICHELANGELO to the party for the train
     journey home.

     I just remembered Gaz said he might come along tonight, I'll mail him,
     hope he doesn't mind.

     You are going to include that "fill a little glass dolphin with
     different colours of Alum Bay sand and then drop it off the cable car
     on the way back to the car" Java Applet aren't you?

Subject: any HTML kids still at home?

I go from the index page to the links page but all it gives me is a grey screen.

Nic - is there a special geocities thing I should be doing?

http://geocities.datacellar.net/SunsetStrip/Palladium/1752/links.html

ought to go to the links page but it doesnt.

I cant remember what i did to get the index page up there. I think I edited the one they had already.

Do you have to do some sort of chmod 7155 to make it read only? or is that just a unixy thing.

Subject: wierd shit!

Not because I had mackerel for tea - the grey screen mustve been wedged in the cache. netscaope had a core dump (hence wierd shit!) and now it works.

It's there now, if you lot want to take a look. more pages happening over the weekend.

It's the background I like best. 1
