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).

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 :(

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 years ago) link

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 years ago) link

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

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?)

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!"

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 years ago) link

yeah i know what it was colin :)

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

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 years ago) link

So how was the gig colin?

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

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 years ago) link

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 years ago) link

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.

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.

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.

How come sometimes the simplest, most naive, badly recorded music is the best stuff in the world?

― ipsofacto (ipsofacto), Friday, 4 June 2004 00:33 (twenty years ago) link

Yes, I ask myself that question all the time.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Friday, 4 June 2004 00:36 (twenty years ago) link

Ah well at least you responded. I thought I'd be met with the usual deafening silence.

― ipsofacto (ipsofacto), Friday, 4 June 2004 00:37 (twenty years ago) link

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

Big Audio Dynamite's Singapore is like that. Awful, awful production, very dated, and not complex in any way; yet it's compelling. I can't put my finger on the whyness.

― Pack Yr Romantic Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 4 June 2004 00:42 (twenty years ago) link

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.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Friday, 4 June 2004 00:48 (twenty years ago) link

how're those new orthotics working out adam? we just found out my niece - who is 11 and good at sport - is going to have to have some.

― mullygrubber (gaz), Friday, 4 June 2004 00:50 (twenty years ago) link

but its often lofi as a result of the where and how of the music. studiously lofi is almost invariably shit.

― mullygrubber (gaz), Friday, 4 June 2004 00:52 (twenty years ago) link

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 years ago) link

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 years ago) link

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 years ago) link

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 years ago) link

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 years ago) link

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 years ago) link

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 years ago) link

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 :)

― ipsofacto (ipsofacto), Friday, 4 June 2004 01:06 (twenty years ago) link

Fun is great.

Perhaps the key is to always make the best of what you've got, but not have too much. I know this applies to a lot of things, not just music - eg gardening. It's sort of a grandmother rule.
