yes! get in!

what's happened to the awol? gone awol? (laughs) i miss them. i know that ben etc went back to london, jim and caroline stayed but are elusive. i pine every day, you know.

i can't believe that: a. i missed A.R. at drakes in 2003, because of a lady b. phil met will oldham etc get bent, phil!

milne you just made me laugh more than i have in a few days. so did you boss. yeah, someone probably drank me and robyn's blood, how cool is that? and they don't even know. i wish i had been on that boat. unfortunately my mind was a boat instead. on a stormy sea, crashing all over the harbour. sigh. i would say that 'dan fellatio' was probably the most sexy member of hookers green. i was there when he bought that pink tanktop (the only item of clothing ever to haunt my dreams).

i arrived at 12:45, and managed to get in by a mixture of pleading, running and knowing the guy giving refunds. i feel dirty, but satisfied.

i l,ove amon tobin, i can't wait for this.

you spelled my name wrong, so it can't be me!!!

i accidentally walked in on joe hearty smooching with sharon lindsay at last year's festival. it was disgusting.

why cant we expand? why can't it be spread over two or three days or drunkeness? why can't there be more than one stage? why can't we have a cell where steven dedalus and other drunks get locked up in later on in the night? can i be official festival security this year? last year i did the job for free, you should thank me, then pay me. and get me that mallet back, otherwise i have no authority.

rob da bank may have an awful name, but his voice is alright to listen to, and that's the main thing here isn't it?! (a bit like giles peterson i thought)

you're racist!

i love this album. probably one of the greatest concept albums never to be properly recognised. i've visited anne frank's house as well, it sure was creepy. ps - big V's to those who have seen them and OTC live.

hi, thanks to everyone who came, we made about 305, which is about half the money needed to make a really fly-ass compilation. that means a whole big booklet and all sorts of wizardry. there might be another next year some time with a different line up, but until then, hisssssssssssssssssssssssssss! (this is where i would disappear amongst a load of smoke)

hi graham, the hookers green no.1 album is due out in april on snowstorm records (snowstormrecords.com) at last. we should be doing lots of shows to support the album around the time as well. there's also a seven inch planned for early in the year. thanks for your interest, the team.

*kick* get it up ye.

yes that probably would've helped! though it did say in the previous thread. you need to work hard to get results with my posts... so yep, dr drakes, wednesday 22nd december. i think giles is going to remix one of our songs, but i doubt in time for the gig. pah!

hello, apologies for the injoke-infested last thread, i sware i had nothing to do with it, it was not intended. so, here is a new one, joke-free. though i'm all for jibes about art rock and that stuff, feel free, baby. this gig is to raise funds for an abymalist compilation, just to push the bands involved and we can get our music to a wider audience. sometimes i think it comes across as some sort of elite club, but really we are just friends trying to share our resources so we have the opportunity to play and record. so, the details again... masamune (intensely melodic, whilst brashly dynamic high-flying four piece) hookers green no.1 (experimental pop sextet with guitar, drums, bass, guitar, keyboard and sax) politik (soulful motown fuzz) sandy galloway (electric tibet frontman, until now presumed deceased, though i've been told he's been saving lives, literally) 'mad' al massive (masamune frontman, i've no idea what he has up his sleeve) plus giles walker - perhaps the best dj in aberdeen, doing what he does best smith soundsystem - detroit house and techno are his specialities, he'll make you dance, even if you can't 3 on the door, free if you can slip in round the side? all proceeds go towards the expensive production of cds. i think that's all. much appreciated x

thanks for bumping the thread guys with your comments! i can also confirm there will be a barely-legal 'shitty artwank fuck' live on stage after the show!

the abysmalists present: a night of 'passion'. masamune hookers green no.1 politik sandy galloway "mad" al chivers plus djs giles walker & smith soundsystem wednesday 22nd december dr drakes all proceeds go towards the production of our compilation. regards, the team x

that song became the anthem of last night. i can't describe the horror.

i want to see the full adem live band now. he said at the gig he's working on some new fridge stuff, woohoo! ps- both albums are great.

that first song is perhaps the funniest thing i've actually heard, ever. i'm wiping the tears from my eyes. i've also burned it onto cd for a party i'm going to tonight. lord help me.

im going, mainly for adem, who by the way i think sounds nothing like coldplay, apart from having an english accent. you should be ashamed!

everyone knows spiderland is the best slint album, i dont care about the liars. last year's festival was so good that i don't want to think about it anymore. though i'll come to 2005. by then i'll have a pipe and a pencil moustache, i guarantee it'll be the ATP look for next year.
