+ it's free.

― dyson (dyson), Tuesday, 1 June 2004 15:27 (twenty-one years ago)

I would go.

if you left now you could make it.

― dyson (dyson), Tuesday, 1 June 2004 15:32 (twenty-one years ago)

I did just get a huge increase on my credit card limit!

Wayne Coyne and Kid Koala should have a DJing cars battle.

dyson, dude, Sixtoo's playing for free at Soundscapes tomorrow night. I'm going to that one. You can make both events.

But, yeah, this thing would just be nuts if R Murray Schafer got involved.

― sundar subramanian (sundar), Tuesday, 1 June 2004 16:18 (twenty-one years ago)

that's right i totally forgot about the soundscapes thing - see you there!

― dyson (dyson), Tuesday, 1 June 2004 17:54 (twenty-one years ago)

The 700-children-plus-kid-koala thing in brampton is an afternoon affair ie you can catch Sixtoo at Lee's later on.

Brampton? Ain't that farm territory?
I heart Kid Koala.

the noise parade thing starts (according to 2 of 3 sites) at 7:00 so i don't think doing both is possible.

― dyson (dyson), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 12:52 (twenty-one years ago)

I stand corrected. Sorry.

― superultramega (superultramarinated), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 17:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Hey dyson, looks like I may unfortunately actually stay home tonight. My friend bailed on me. Let us know how it was if you go.

― sundar subramanian (sundar), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 20:46 (twenty-one years ago)

i got there (as usual) about 15 minutes late and they were already packing up¡ bastards¡

five months pass...

I am listening to a CD of this now and it might be the best thing ever

Where did you come upon this cd?

― Apparently now known as (o )( o) (Thermo Thinwall), Thursday, 25 November 2004 22:07 (twenty-one years ago)

I found it under a tree.

It has no barcode, let me see if I can find out where it may be gotten.

i'm listening to the new Kid Koala album (12 Bit Blues) and it's pretty nice. very tight conceptually.

yup, it is.
though i do feel like i'm listening to little axe at various points as they too use old spoken dialogue in the same way.

New album with Emiliana Torrini coming out soon.

Sounds gorgeous

Nice that.

Kid Koala/Emiliana Torrini album is out. It's nice - a 180 from any of his recorded material in the past. Eric plays all the instruments and employs no sampling and very little turntable manipulation. It's relatively beatless, orchestral and reflective music. Emiliana's vocals edge this into winter lullaby territory.

― Everything Moves Towards The Sun (Ross), Sunday, 22 January 2017 21:25 (eight years ago)

this is really lovely

sounds like his Satellite/Music to Draw To album? beatless, lots of piano and pretty ambiance. haven't heard the new one but that one gets a lot of play around the house.

― change display name (Jordan), Tuesday, 31 January 2017 17:35 (eight years ago)

oh i'm dumb, that is the new record. yeah it's great.

― change display name (Jordan), Tuesday, 31 January 2017 18:09 (eight years ago)

wait no! 'Space Cadet', the one that went with a graphic novel, is the one i'm thinking of. mostly piano, strings, etc

Nice interview at Bandcamp

i got to the end of "the darkest day" and i gotta say i really love this record i think

New album is fit for overlooked albums
Thread imo. Yeah it's a downer mostly, kind of like if stars of the lid did an album with vocals, but way more maudlin. Torrini rules though and is sorely underrated, her live album and fishermans woman are classics
