  11. fostex xr-5 analogue four track (grudgingly) for sale/trade!

    in Equipment

    Posted

    hi,

    i've had this baby for a few years now and, although i love it, there's not much room in the new "studio" and i need a bit more EQ control for gigs (and something more portable) so i'm selling it to buy a small mixer with mic pre-amp. make me a decent offer and it's yours, or if you have a mixer you'd like to trade / part-ex then i'd be interested too.

    it comes with AC adapter & instruction booklet. there wasn't a box when i bought it.

    pm me

    i was at the tate modern on friday (before going to see Prince at O2/Millenium Dome - how weird not ONE Londoner referred to it as the dome... hmm...) and listened to a few tracks. thought it was a good idea badly executed. the only ones enjoying the music were the 9 year olds fighting for control of the headphones. most of it was hip hop / rap. yawn.

    mind you, would have been quite pleased to have heard a local band there. get on it.

    ps: while we're on the subject i absolutely loved this movie of ants moving tiny bits of confetti back to their nest. i could have watched it for hours. should i get out more?

    I tried posting this earlier in the week but my i/net died: thanks very very much to everyone who came along for making it a braw night. The combination of acts should have made it interesting for anyone there.

    Message to Luke though - swearing may be cool but for f*cks sake why the bl**dy hell did you need to swear every f*cking 2nd b*llocking word? ;) I despair for your poor mother... honestly though I liked the (much more accomplished than my own) guitar playing and I felt you finished your set with the best 2 songs in your rep. I'll watch out for you again...

    David was excellent - he even threatened to play a Rod Stewart number - and I wished I had the accordion handy to accompany on Swimming Upstream. Placing of the guitar pickup was made all the easier through carefully positioned panda stickers which looked much nicer than my etch-a-sketch attempt.

    Really liked Steve Crawford's set - couldn't decide between Gomez or John Martyn as the main influence (although I suspect the latter). Would definitely recommend listening out for him wherever he appears in Aberdeen! A true pro.

    The open mic was 'loose' afterwards but I quite enjoyed a few of the folk up on the stage - including the bluesy bloke with the hat (if only the volume was about 20db quieter). Al & Shell of course I loved but then I'm biased (and deeply indebted to them travelling 300 miles for one day in Aberdeen).

    I won't review Gustav as I am biased except to say he didn't disappoint.

    Cheers again!

  22. [GIG] Gustav Bertha + Forge of Idols + Steve Crawford + The Family Simpson @ The Tunnels

    A fun fracas.

    It's an acoustic night. So expect electronic piano & sonic terrorist vibe from Gustav Bertha (finally released by guerilla hostage takers after a 3 year Scots absence), a mixture of samples & acoustic schmaltz from The Family Simpson, free-rhyming odes to this fair city from Forge of Idols, and the well known & loved (by someone surely!) Steve Crawford.

    There's also an instore at OneUp at 4pm featuring Gustav Bertha and The Family Simpson. Mark it in blood in your diary. We'll check up on you.
