the mart of darkness

thanks bud! although it's still not all there... one day.

the drummer from fool's gold used to be in our band. then we chucked him out and became deadloss. that showed him...

i can't believe we get away with this every year... ho ho ho!

mmm, red kross were ace too. only got the phaseshifter album, but it rocks.

mmmm, fun. jeff bruce fae turning 13. ross fae contra. ross fae x-certs. waz fae deadloss. not that i see anyone in the 'deen anymore.

donna c is my drumming idol. and donna r is v cute, especially in latest kerrang, and is a v cool guitarist.

mmm, nice one. my girlfriend works at the bonham. i shall have to go see gabi's stuff.

we can all get fucked up, apart from one poor soul ps. i've updated the site bri.

my, you're a clever one! i'm always shocked to find proper musicians such as phil (and frosty jack by the looks of things) roaming the deadloss board... its in the key of d summat or other (as with just about every deadloss song these days). would be v cool to have phil as sax and moothie guy. let's write a song with a melodeon solo. i imagine he owns one. why's ziggy moving to auld reekie. does he want to be near me? xxx

eh? what you on about pete? was that a sly dig at indieness? you crazy fool.

money?!? mmmmm... didn't know there was any. is there any?

thanks for the floor mateys. the accomodation has really gone upmarket since my last stay on the kitchen floor. welcomed the addition of a tv to watch eddie izzard vids on. parking was ample.

yeah, where were you ya bugger. it was shit. although when i think about it, most of it sounded okay on stage. i just didn't enjoy it though. enjoyed stars for once though, much faster than usual. someday soon, i'm gonna get that mothboy vid uploaded in its entirety, without me laptop shutting down. not yet though, it turns out.

better with every gig you say? how kind! i had a shit one. i wasn't up for it, and i broke x is loaded's guitar amp (nearly killing wazzak in the process) entirely by accident. but cos i'm a nice guy i left them a billing address... i really enjoyed what i saw of thisgirl - didn't expect to at all. missed x is loaded cos i was hiding from them, and missed lost cos i was upstairs drowning my sorrows.

by the way, don't actually try and download it obviously, cos its fucking big. but i think it should stream automatically. seems to with me anyway, but i never know what other folks computers are gonna do. don't know enough about this web design stuff...

having pissed about with windows movie maker, i made a sorta montage of cool stuff from various deadloss gigs and put it to the mothboy stars remix. i think its pretty cool personally, but its been a bugger to upload - the fan on me laptops a bit knackered and it keeps overheating and shutting down. so it might not all be there yet... but anyway, do go and have a look - its in the downloads section on the new deadloss site www.deadlosssuperstar.co.uk - i hope it works. it was put together fairly randomly. i might try and improve it sometime now i've got the hang of it all, but then again i might not be arsed. i thinks its now bad as it is. lotsa love, mart xxx

wotcher chaps. i guess this questions is open to the lonely few who occasionally peruse this board... i'm planning a photoshoot for the band next monday, but we've gotta do something fun for it, and ideally kinda cool. i personally favour the 'just been in a huge explosion' look, with charred clothes and faces, soot in hair, slightly dazed, et cetera, but nobody else has been particularly forthcoming with ideas. either that, or a 'falling through the air from a fair height to our probable death' kinda thing, but that seems a little trickier logistically any thoughts? will we ever match the majesty of the scuff swimming pool shoot? mart xxx ps i've just posted about 3 messages in as many days, setting a new personal record. eek.

mmmmmm, charlotte... i think it's cool. i totally love ash, but this is a bit different, a bit quirkier. did any of you hear her first single from a month or two ago, 'kim wilde' i think it was called. it was kinda mad.

so anyhoo... anybody who fancies a shot at voicing someone just come along to exile studio (for midday if you can) on saturday 15th nov. we'll sort out the rest of the parts there. you might even get to look at a script!!! i think there's gonna be a break at some point while assorted cocks go off to watch some footie, but it'll all resume after. if you can't make it early, feel free to pop along later, even if it's only just in time to be part of the rather rude xmas carol singing. see ya then!

oh yeah! splendid! keep rounding em up. we've scraped a few together on this thread at least. what about hook? i'm thinking a go go maybe? andy ex-mdl could be the other john or michael, whatever jamesy isn't? or maybe... we could give hook an amusing weegie accent? i dunno... anyhoo... how's the script coming along? feel free to email it to me anytime. i'm on holiday this week, so i should potentially have opportunity to work on it if need be! xxx

then you've just made it through the arduous audition process! congratulations! you will be my mr smee!

aaaaaahhhh.... okey dokey! xxx

coolio. will just make sure you're a part that appears later on. rock.

a nay? now i'm confused... what's going on on the 22nd? or can someone just not do it? i could do it by the way - i am pretty keen to play with the relatives, i'm just far from delighted at the prospect of a midweek aberdeen gig... xxx

that's the spirit!
