Along with the guitars, the may be a 2 month old Fender Hotrod Deluxe going for 399

Peavey's probably gone too

Yeah, I'll be waiting for that too - it can sit next to my two copies of the original (one is the Jap import...) I lost the faith a while ago now, and it's too potentially traumatising to even think about buying the new record...

Bugger, our website's down so I don't have a pic. It is the Epiphone version of the guitar JDB plays in the 'Slas 'n' Burn' video if that helps?... Although with the switched pickups.

Yup, it originally had a P90. I bought it new in 1998

No worries, send me a PM

Due to having far too many axes, I'm selling my cherry sunburst Epiphone Les Paul Standard with a hard case for 250. I've also got an Epiphone Les Paul Junior fitted with a Seymour Duncan JB55 humbucker which is up for 100 (pick up alone cost 79). PM me if you're interested in either...

*looks up* Jeeee-sus 'Nurse? Nurse! Bring the jacket, quick!'

Maybe it was a dud batch, but please don't get a Tanglewood Rebel - we had one for a bit until someone jumped on it out of sheer frustration.

My first bass was a Yamaha BB300 or something which was neck heavy, unwieldy and sounded fucking ace. I then got a shitty De Ville jazz copy which was crap. I recently got hold of a Cort Musicman-ish bass which plays brilliantly and actually sounds really nice - you can probably get one for under 200, and I'd say it's definitely worth having a look at. Even though the Thunderbird is a bit of a beast to handle, it does look cool as fuck, and you can play it safe in the knowledge that you're saving it from funk (apparently they were intended for slapping and popping - *shudder*). Unless you play in a funk band of course, in which case you will be making god awful noises and chaffing your chin with the strap peg. And about switiching from guitar to bass - I went from bass to guitar and found that, after having learnt the guitar, my bass playing was shit loads better. Just a thought :-)

The Manics version of 'Charles Windsor' by McCarthy is fucking ace too.

An unsolicited response... When I was playing in a Dundee band (who shall remain nameless ;P) around the time the first Laeto album came out, I saw them 4 or 5 times. To the guy who said they'd 'turned shite', I really don't agree. Not that they were shite then, but the band I saw in the Cafe Royal on Friday night were, for me, a much more powerful and interesting proposition. Why have singing? Because sometimes you can't articulate everything through music alone, and sometimes you need to say something. I didn't really know what to expect before the gig - to paraphrase the above, I was 18 the last time I saw them, and I'm 24 now - and I was genuinely impressed by how good a band they were. When I eventually got home (Stuart, Craig, your fault...), the first thing I did was stick on the sampler (note to everyone: free samplers are unequivocably a great idea) and that has to be a sign of a good gig. Shit, I've just read back this post, and I reckon using the computer after finishing off the weekend's beer is a sure fire way to meander on and on and on...so I'll stop. And you may never know what the point was. Amen.

T'was a great weekend, although I think you missed my 'interpretive' dance phase in the Citrus Club... The first track on the Laeto sampler is really good.

Cheers ;P Drop us an email to deadenstereo@hotmail.com and we can sort you out with some other stuff if you like

The Daily Rangers says 'yes' to deadenstereo ;P Nice little mention in yesterday's Record - I'm all overcome... and, it must be said, mightily hungover, no thanks to Stuart and Gordon of Orwell fame (I hope work is proving as painful for you as it is for me!)

First review, courtesy of rippingtracks.com artist: Deadenstereo from Edinburgh United Kingdom track: The Ideas We Have Of God Genre: Rock Definite flavours of Radiohead in this track from Edinburgh-based Deadenstereo, but they have a twist all of their own. It's got a raw sound that gives them a freshness. The song muses on the fact that we are alone as a race: there is no supreme deity about to whisk us off to fairy land at the end of this life. Soaring melodic vocals buried behind dirty and downright aggressive up front guitars, drumming that's wild and loose without ever losing the plot, Deadenstereo have a sound that's assuredly contemporary and very much of the here and now. A&R guys from cool underground indie labels should surely be sniffing around these fellows in the hope of bringing us 'the next big thing'. There's certainly an afterlife for these fellows whatever they might think. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reviewed by: gordon 15 July 2004 Link: http://www.skunkweb.com/rippingtracks?trackid=2004A7B15C6D35 I think I'm going to get Thom Yorke's gurning mug tattooed on my arse ;P

Nope, it's only available from the site. If you can't download, drop us an email and we'll get you a hard copy ;P

Radiohead? Radiohead?! WhyIoughta... *chalks up another tally mark*

And for the purists out there, it was recorded and mixed in under 6 hours ;P Punktastic...

I thought the Staccato Set were absolutely great - had me laughing my ass off too ;P

Aw shucks, we love you too ;P x

No sleep til Embra - half sodding 4! Had a blast though

We went in and did a song the other week (which will probably be available as a download with cover art some time in the near future), heartily recommended. Stephen is a great guy to record with and you would be mad to miss the chance to play their old Gibby gold top...

Aye, big round of applause to Alex and Chris for putting the whole thing on - Alex, we're so on for that beach weekend extravaganza ;P
