Morning all. I am sooooo sorry aboot last night. Had you forgotten you were gonna pick me up tho Jim? ;P Cuz I txted you at 7.30 and by 9 I still hadnt heard anything! Lucky I wasnt waiting on you showing up ;)

I dunno wtf happened to me, I rested all day but that just made me worse, I was very depressed. I think a room full of rockin lesbians would have just made me feel really freaked out and strange. Heh. Sounds like y'all had an ace time tho!

Sorry this means no pix :/

I'm on me rags now (which you all wanted to know I am sure so now I know the whole week's shit is very fucked up hormones, which is pissing me right off (I feel 300% better this morning, ysee).

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Saturday, 15 May 2004 01:38 (twenty-one years ago)

If anyone's drunk at 12.30 in the afternoon I'd be a tad worried, Nedsicle ;)

I think everyone else is passed out from partying or something. I didnt go to Col's gig so I'm awaiting being roundly abused when they all wake up :(

― Trayce (trayce), Saturday, 15 May 2004 01:38 (twenty-one years ago)

While eating koala tacos, Eisbar.

seriously was there ever a melbourne FAP? i've not been here as regularly as in the past, so if so i missed it and would like to see the pics! (if not, please ignore)

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Saturday, 15 May 2004 01:42 (twenty-one years ago)

I do have a couple pics from when Ipso was down here recently... I didnt get Tim in any of them as he didnt stay long. Im not sure if I should post any tho on the grounds everyone might kill me.

― Trayce (trayce), Saturday, 15 May 2004 02:11 (twenty-one years ago)

please don't post any of me.

― ipsofacto (ipsofacto), Saturday, 15 May 2004 02:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Thats why I said I'd not just stick any up :) Tho the one of you is fine, honest! I can pop them in an unlisted dir later if you want to see them (I think I only took a few anyway didnt I?)

― Trayce (trayce), Saturday, 15 May 2004 02:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Every time I read the thread title I hear the Village People singing "you can't stop the mon-grels! Nobody can stop sheepfux-orrrs!"

ARGH.

― Trayce (trayce), Saturday, 15 May 2004 02:59 (twenty-one years ago)

what about koala pierogies?

OMG. The dissasociatives are programming Rage tonight... and its all HIPPY MUSIC. Flaming Lips, flamin' Kate Bush, Pink Floyd, Captain Beefheart... weird. I wonder if Mr D Johns will be acting like an acid casualty. Could be fun.

― Trayce (trayce), Saturday, 15 May 2004 06:59 (twenty-one years ago)

O and theres some itchee songs too ;)

― Trayce (trayce), Saturday, 15 May 2004 07:19 (twenty-one years ago)

Today has been a complete shocker.

I can't wait to sell this godforsaken place and get on with my life.

If I ever tell you guys i'm getting married again, please shoot me in the face.

Well I finally met jim, and lo and behold he was a sweetheart, much as I expected. And he handed over a certain something. A certain something which gave me great pleasure later that night. Can you guess what it was?????

Nah, just the dickhead he usually is.

Awesome song list. It's like they ransacked my head and selected a load of my favourite songs, right up to [but not including] Tusk, which is when I went to bed.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Saturday, 15 May 2004 22:49 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah i know what it was colin :)

x-post

― ipsofacto (ipsofacto), Saturday, 15 May 2004 22:50 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes, Auty, I enjoyed that songlist too (Rage, yes)? The Devo and Beefheart videos especially.

Well, I must say, Pig's Arse was worth the wait. What surprised me was the quality of many of the songs (sorry, Flame Fortune and Mi-Sex), and the relentlessly smooth grooves many of them had, prior to dance music taking over the world. 'Cange in Mood' and 'Send Me An Angel' were camp but delightful, very modern and ethereal in their production - like electroclash, but smoother, and with songs. Also, 'Great Southern Land'... and many others, but I've just heard it once. Also I gave jim 'Sound on Sound' by the Venetians which, by fortuitous good luck, I found in a record shop in Melbourne on Saturday. It's worthy, truly worthy.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Saturday, 15 May 2004 23:09 (twenty-one years ago)

So how was the gig colin?

― ipsofacto (ipsofacto), Saturday, 15 May 2004 23:13 (twenty-one years ago)

The gig was rockin'! But as feared, Rach lost her voice near the end. Tonight she sings again - but her voice is hoarse and we'll just have to take it steady as she goes. Maybe an abbreviated set, maybe no set, cos we've both heard too many horror stories from vocalists to push it.

"Singing in the 80's" - great start.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Saturday, 15 May 2004 23:15 (twenty-one years ago)

jim's speed with text messaging is outrageous, I was duly impressed. He can type a message almost as quickly as on a keyboard. Also, I was quite enamoured of Melb nitelife, better than Syd.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Saturday, 15 May 2004 23:17 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah i asked him why he used two hands while i was down and he said, "because it's faster". It always takes me about 5 minutes to write one sentence, however I think James is using predictive text which I suppose speeds things up considerably.

― ipsofacto (ipsofacto), Saturday, 15 May 2004 23:20 (twenty-one years ago)

greetings! nice new thread! hows the hangovers? mine went away after a big hit of sugar. last night i celebrated graduation with my family. there was interpretive dancing, "little willy" by the sweet, and pineapple daiquiris.

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Sunday, 16 May 2004 01:11 (twenty-one years ago)

sounds like fun!

― ipsofacto (ipsofacto), Sunday, 16 May 2004 01:11 (twenty-one years ago)

it was good, but it needed more "into the groove" and ipsofacto.

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Sunday, 16 May 2004 01:13 (twenty-one years ago)

everyone's life needs more ipsofacto!

especially mine.

― ipsofacto (ipsofacto), Sunday, 16 May 2004 01:14 (twenty-one years ago)

Bloody Rage, I missed it! I was all hyped up all day and did loads of housework and stuff, made a lovely mushroom risotto for tea, ate that... and at sbout 10, Nick popped out the room for just a moment, I lay down sideways, and passed out asleep! Slept on the couch like a log til about 1am, then went to bed and slept til 10 this morning. Geez, I must have needed it.

I may do, jim, or I may just make Rach a lemon and ginger tea and look after her.

Gaz, you get the message OK? Don't come tonite. And also, Pig's Arse is the dog's bollocks.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Sunday, 16 May 2004 04:43 (twenty-one years ago)

― the surface noise of psychotic badassery (electricsound), Sunday, 16 May 2004 04:53 (twenty-one years ago)

were there photeys back then Nedsicle?

There actually were a few, yes.

well i think its time for a great FAP's we have known thread!

do you remember any was there any thigh biting jim?

― mullygrubber (gaz), Sunday, 16 May 2004 05:27 (twenty-one years ago)

no, although the fishnets did end up torn!

― the surface noise of psychotic badassery (electricsound), Sunday, 16 May 2004 05:33 (twenty-one years ago)

its always risky for a straight(ish) guy to go to a lesbian night wearing fishnets jim: i salute you!

― mullygrubber (gaz), Sunday, 16 May 2004 05:37 (twenty-one years ago)

There's always a highlight - on this occasion there were two highlights. One, Rach getting pissed off with her fishnets and tearing them off; two, her getting trapped in a dyke sandwich at the front of the stage.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Sunday, 16 May 2004 07:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Haven't listened to Tugboat cd yet jim but looking forward to it. And yo yo yo props to you dog for that compilation. Nedsicle, you're going to love it.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Sunday, 16 May 2004 07:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh yeah, another highlight. I was talking to jim and this drunk woman comes up to us and says, 'Are you guys fags?' We go 'Are we fans?', and she goes, 'Fags. FAGS. Are you both fags?'

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Sunday, 16 May 2004 07:36 (twenty-one years ago)

haha for a second there i was scared shitless she wanted to pick us up

― the surface noise of psychotic badassery (electricsound), Sunday, 16 May 2004 07:41 (twenty-one years ago)

she had vomity breath.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Sunday, 16 May 2004 07:44 (twenty-one years ago)

potentially not the least of her problems

Also we established that, yes, we all wear glasses. Please tell me there's a sheepfuxor or mongrel on this thread who isn't a short sighted computer nerd.

― ipsofacto (ipsofacto), Sunday, 16 May 2004 08:17 (twenty-one years ago)

― mullygrubber (gaz), Sunday, 16 May 2004 21:56 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't know what you're going through but if it's any consolation I'm really enjoying 'All Day'. You do a sweet vocal harmony, boy. Hehe.

A lot of indie sounds defeated to me, but this sounds full of spirit and spunk. Also, when the rhythms kick in, it really kicks. No shambling jangle for you, eh?

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Sunday, 16 May 2004 22:10 (twenty-one years ago)

'She Doesn't Come Around', 'Love Goes Home...' - classy double act, those two.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Sunday, 16 May 2004 22:43 (twenty-one years ago)

aww thanks col! wasn't sure if it would be entirely your thing :)

no we tend not to shamble. it is probably to our benefit that the other guys aren't into the same indie schmindie as me so they straighten out my, er, DIY influences a tad

― the surface noise of psychotic badassery (electricsound), Sunday, 16 May 2004 22:44 (twenty-one years ago)

'Next Year's Words'... but this is all on the first listen mind, who knows what will pop up and say hello after 5 listens or so? See, that's what I like about albums, it's like getting to know 12 people over a period of time. You have your extraverts, who draw your attention right away, and your introverts who shine once you get to know them.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Sunday, 16 May 2004 22:47 (twenty-one years ago)

peacockc on the lawn ??????????????????

― mullygrubber (gaz), Monday, 17 May 2004 02:43 (twenty-one years ago)

Sorry, Ive just had a major crisis of confidence in recent times because I've become a bit of a social cripple, I am genuinely finding going out and seeing people a hard thing to do, for all kinds of reasons, and on top of that someone who I thought was a good friend has started hanging out with some dodgy goth bitches I dont like, so I just stopped talking to her and I feel rotten about it seeing as she's about to move overseas... I didnt even get my best friend a birthday present last week :( Im a horrible, crappy friend.

At least Nick still loves me I guess :/

Man, I should just buy a staple gun and nail my hand to my forehead right now shouldnt I?

Adam: you know Ive thought about that, but every time I try meditation I just cant do it. I cant silence my mind. Its too obsessive and full of noise.

I have erm. Issues.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 17 May 2004 02:44 (twenty-one years ago)

Gaz - the woodland/peacock thing's a black books joke, to do with swallowing the Little Book of Calm ;)

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 17 May 2004 02:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Blargh anyway! I said I was calm this week! So I shall shoosh up now. Im fine really :) Just searching round for anchors maybe.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 17 May 2004 02:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Just doesn't say you were Calum this week. I would be distressed.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 17 May 2004 02:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Trayce, there's a fantastic meditation place in Westbury St. Before having lessons there, I was useless at it too. Getting help is the best way to get yer head around meditation.

I've been going through utter, utter hell all this year, and I swear meditation's singlehandedly saved my life/sanity.

Melbourne's getting to you. You're surrounded by artists and you are also an artist. It's making you all nervous.

You should live in Sydney. No-one gives a stuff about art here. Also, you'd be so busy trying to pay the rent you'd have no time for depression.

Di, I went thru a Saint Etienne phase a few years back and although it's all pretty good, the best by far is Fox Base Alpha, cos it's just so fresh and home made. After that it gets a leetle bit fussy and self-conscious - but still good.

Have either of you read "Death Sentence"? It's about coprorate wankspeak in Australia. It's an interesting read.

While I'm on my frickin' soap box, you know what else shits me? Logging everything. Bloody everything we do has to be logged. Everything. For months and months and months. And none of the logs ever get used by anyone anywhere ever. It's the biggest bloody waste of time.

― I Wish You Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 23:32 (twenty-one years ago)

no green beanie?

no, funny you should say that I actually have it on right now, but didn't include it in the pic.

It's not really a beanie though. I kind of look like some nimbinish reject of sorts. It's more like an old t-shirt tied in a knot at the back.

― ipsofacto (ipsofacto), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 23:40 (twenty-one years ago)

adam i have started logging everything. so when the pricks try to stab me in the back in three months time i can go: i don't think so: look!

phot of green nimbin reject tshirt beanie required ipso.

― mullygrubber (gaz), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 23:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Ah, but that's logging for a purpose, which is cool. It's when they get you to take a long-winded description of everything that happens, including time, date, weather conditions, temperature/humidity, UV danger, which planets are in conjunction, and the current mood of Dr Harry Cooper, that it gets ridiculous; as is the way they jump up and down if you miss something.

Six months later, when everyone's forgotten about it and nobody's actually used the logs for anything, it's always fun to remind them how stupid it was to be doing this crap in the first place.

Grrr.

Haha Adam your work sounds a bit like mine, though admittedly any logging we do is usually automated, and needed for audit tracking I guess (otherwise I could just like, go and make myself a 1.5mb DSL link for free and no one would know... hmm theres an idea haha)

I still cant get over our CEO saying "sweat the infrastructure" in that seminar thing. I have visions of beefy sweaty gay men working on a giant spiderweb internet, sort of like those steelworkers in the Simpsons.

Waving my cap in the air
love, my love, got no care
no care, no, no, pressing my stem to the ground
stand up right where you stand
call to you and what do you do
laying back in a chair wearing hotpants?
the cow's so high on the air
the cow's so high on the air
half and half, half and half
all you have to do to moo
is hold her hoof, stand a while
and then smile and we'll understand
yes we do - yes, yes we do!
Oh what a cow I've got too!
Oh what a cow I've got too!
with her slinky look she held her tail to her arse
(and I) could see milk everywhere
no-one in the land, no-one
no-one in the land, no-one
but it rains on Saturday - sheep and bison in the way
stormy day, hey, hey
and you shouldn't try to be
what you can't be
and you shouldn't try to be
what you can't be
moo to you and what do you do

We have to design a complete LAN, including physical placement and number of servers, wiring cabinets, asymmetric switches [100Mbps and 10Mbps], hubs, bridges, the lot. I have no idea what I'm doing, and the spec tells us nothing. I asked the tutor and he said loads of stuff that was above my heaad, then talked about something else for two hours.

Oh lordy. That kinda shit gives me the fear. We have 2, count em, 2 pcs here, and because one is xp and one 98 we cant quite get it to network the right way. I mean the pcs talk to each other fine but the access to the net and tcp/ip stuff is flaky at best. Ive no idea what Im doing.

A bloke I know who lives up the road had to abandon wireless, because he could access someone else's internet connection by mistake, and didn't know who could use his. He actually went up and down the street asking people if they had a wireless thing in their place. He never found out who it was, and didn't know how to configure it to make it secure, so he ended up just not using it at all.

-there are tons of cheap knockoffs of fancy mics doing the rounds these days -you actually get something decent in that range. I got a studio projects B1 for $80 (US) which sounds amazing for the price -their C1 model is a replica of the Neumann U87, which is a v. famous old classic, apparently...

It's great, they chucked me on a treadmill and did all these standing/rocking tests and things. Really comprehensive.

I have to look for a new flat with a group of people which have the combined requirements of : rent under 120, cat-friendly + garden, & within a suburb of newton/central city; ie A MAGICAL FLAT POWERED BY RAINBOWS. Our band has a gig in two weeks with two rilly established bands, & we have no songs, no amps/pedals/drumkit, no talent, & no time/space/gear to "practise". I am HUNGOVER, I fucked up my knee dancing last night (& then danced on it for four hours), my random back injury is flaring up again (& I've STILL can't afford to go to the doctor (haha or the dentist - my chipped incisor is probably wafer-thin by now)), I've got some sort of fungal civilisation on my feet & the cream I shelled out for at the chemist does NOTHING.

you need to go to yer old place, go in to the rooms of the people still there who owe you money, find something of value and pawn it.

they get it back when they give you the money to get it out of pawn.

― mullygrubber (gaz), Friday, 28 May 2004 00:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Do they owe you bond Stevie? if they do, tell 'em to go fuck their "rent" up the arse.

Same thing happened to me. Flatmate left (taking my shag of the time with her, thanks very much DARLING) and refused to pay her last 2 or 3 weeks rent or a bill, despite having said she would earlier. When I asked why, she said "give me back my bond". I couldnt - I didnt have it (my bad). So we just dropped it and she fucked off. Grr. Never living with a woman again.

Oh btw thanks all - yeah I am at work today, I cant take a day off simply cos I'm pissed at the situation cos I cant afford to make myself look bad while trying to jostle for the few new jobs down here that will be on offer (as its either those or the door, I think). Besides, its end of month, and I have leave next week... and if I stayed home I'd only have another panic attack so eff that.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 28 May 2004 00:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Also incidentally none of this is happening til at least NOvember, and knowing the organisation in this place, that probably means March next year, haha. So I'll just save up loads of money.

Theres so many options and things to do/have to think of, this is whats stressing me. I have to, while still holding down my ussual (busy) job, start writing up training docs and papers and (possibly) spend some time in sydney training the bastards taking our jobs. I also have to try for this new position I want here in the company. I also have to consider work outside the company, but that involves brushing up my long rusted desing/web/writing/wtf ever skills in the 5 seconds of spare time I'll have left. And somehow keep my sanity on top of all this. Ha! Thank christ I have a week off soon... I'll need it.

We tried to support a plug-in ASPmail code snippet for client websites but unlike the lovely perl mail code for unix we support, it was crap and never worked.

The worst bit is it's a group assignment, and the person I'm working with knows the material and has done a lot more than me. So now I've also got the guilt complex, despite the fact that I've put mammoth amounts of time into this bloody assignment.

She had a go at me for not doing enough in the previous assignment, which sucks because she ripped off someone else's code and did the whole thing without telling me, while she knew I was here nutting it out from scratch. I hate people who aren't open and honest. Tell me what's wrong to my face or piss off.

according to mono colin is very much able to get his shit together.

I must've missed that thread james :)

Well Trayce, you've been sketched but i've not hit the brushes yet. Somehow your hands have become long and spidery. Hope thats okay :)

― ipsofacto (ipsofacto), Tuesday, 1 June 2004 06:28 (twenty-one years ago)

i long for long spidery hands meself (small and ordinary thats mine...but i have a big nose!!!)

Mermaids were supposed to have long spidery fingers or something such, I think!

Or frisbee.

Wait, no - fashion it into an ashtray by heating it up in the oven and moulding it over an upturned glass.

Theres always the ol' AOL CD in the microwave trick too (assuming its a cd not vinyl)

the so far unasked yet crucial question jim is why?

― mullygrubber (gaz), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 02:19 (twenty-one years ago)

mully: it was $5 and curiosity got the better of me

if this had come out when regurgitator and spiderbait were doing the full-on 80s thing it would have done ok. it sounds a little embarrassing in the context of 2004 though. and it's not even remotely gothy

phew.

i thought you were gonna tell me andy rantzen produced it.

Because it's simple, naïve, and badly recorded.

It's true - lo fi recordings are frequently somehow more fascinating than glossy stuff. It doesn't seem to matter what the genre is. Brought home to me again and again when I hear early house and techno.

It's weird. Sometimes I'm a slave to over-the-top production [hi Magoo], and other times I can't stand it.

xpost: Really good so far. It cost about $600 all-up, but I think it's worth it to be walking properly. There's still a bit of pain from getting used to the change, but overall I'd definitely recommend podiatrists over orthotists.

― Pack Yr Romantic Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 4 June 2004 00:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, studiously lo-fi just sounds like retro hifi to me. You can't fake having hardly any gear.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Friday, 4 June 2004 00:53 (twenty-one years ago)

This stuff I'm listening to is some shite CD-R that a couple of girls I'd never met before thrust at me when I was out a couple of weekends ago. It's kind of riot girlish stuff and the guitar playing is incredibly raw, they told me they recorded it using windows sound recorder with a $20 mic (!) but it's kind of the shiteness that makes it good.

― ipsofacto (ipsofacto), Friday, 4 June 2004 00:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Sounds great!

I heard a recording by Blink-182 style garage band a few weeks ago (those Cali party punk riffs), but with a female singer. the recording was so bad that the vocal was just a distortion mesh on top of the guitars and drums. It sounded unintentionally avant-garde. I liked it.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Friday, 4 June 2004 00:59 (twenty-one years ago)

i think even an aesthetic of lo fi can hamper you regardless of whether it be trying to recreate lo fi stuff with expensive equipment or just loving that sound and using shit equipment to make it... i know i'm making fairly dubious connections here but self consciousness doesn't often produce great results.

― mullygrubber (gaz), Friday, 4 June 2004 01:00 (twenty-one years ago)

I love a bit of general roughness or distortion in the mix. I hear it as grain or texture. Glossy music is a bit like glossy food. Nice in very small quantities.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Friday, 4 June 2004 01:03 (twenty-one years ago)

I agree with mully in the long term about self-consciousness, although in the short term I think it can really fire off a career. The general public loves an artfully constructed sound and image, inh the short term, but seems to hate it in the long term. Uh-oh, I feel like I'm starting to want to rant about archetypes - where's my leather muzzle?

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Friday, 4 June 2004 01:05 (twenty-one years ago)

The thing is with this band I was talking about (if you can call it that) It's really obvious they weren't trying to sound shit, they just have no expertise regarding recording or even playing their instruments. They seem to just have fun with what they're doing and I guess that's the most compelling thing about it :)
