He is prone to do that, yeah.....it's his mating dance. Apparently it works a treat!

If he totally cracks he might do "the Dance of the Randy Flautist", which he's been threatening to do recently!!

If I didn't already have a copy (and enjoy it), I'd definitely buy one, especially with such a tempting special offer.

That's great news, Hog. All power to your elbows etc!!

Sounds like a good track to hear in a club. I can imagine it being popular with more vocals added.

Definitely get a new drummer, or arm Jakey with a loud floor-tom.....just don't split up!!!!

the MPE band also did an album of Jeff Buckley covers!! Should be good!

A Song Ruined has a fair point. Michael Marra, the Dundee singer, wasn't keen on the "Here's tae us, wha's like us" crap, and wrote a song called "Hermless" as a possible Scottish National anthem. The chorus goes "Hermless, hermless, there's never nae bother fae me I ging tae the libry, I tak oot a book And then I go hame for ma tea" Personally, if we HAD to have a National Anthem I'd go for Hamish Henderson's "Freedom Come All Ye", with its socialist hands across the ocean theme.

I would like to see a big second-hand section, with pedals, amps etc as well as guitars. What makes a shop cool is the attitude of the staff, so PRO SOUND are already cool!!!!!!

They've been selling one of my CDs for about a year now, with no success as far as I'm aware! But their service is excellent, and the range of music is very wide.

Hawkwind at the Cowdray Hall (very early 70s).

X Ray Spex The Slits The Raincoats Essential Logic Poison Girls Dolly Mixture Marine Girls Shop Assistants (last 2 only tenuously punk)

I like being infected by Chilli! I will be there for my hit of Interesting Music, but will be a bit late, so may miss DRN, which upsets me.

The "Interesting Music" guys often have folkish acts, some of which fall within the boundaries of folk/psych. In early September they've got Charlie Parr, followed the night after by Schwervon (anti-folk). If you haven't come across them,then these magazines cover a lot of music of a folk/psych nature.......... Ptolemaic Terrascope Dream Magazine both have free CDs with lots of great music. The last Dream one had Fursaxa, Pothole Skinny, Cul De Sac, Cereberus Shoal etc etc (and a Kitchen Cynics song!)

WFMU is based in the New York area, but you can hear lots of past prog.s on Irene Trudel's homepage........some great sessions over the years! The Espers one is amazing, and I particularly enjoyed a PG Six one. If you haven't got broadband I've recorded a few of them (mostly in mono, though), and can do you copies. I usually just google it, but it's at..... www.wfmu.org/~irene/

"So strange is man" and "Fine horseman" by Lal Waterson are 2 of my all-time favourite songs (and I sometimes do a naff version of "Stumbling on" live). I've seen Martin Carthy live more times than any other artist (more than ten, easily), and he's never had a poor night, despite being ill on at least one occasion. I missed it last week, but Eliza Carthy is presenting a series on Radio 2 on Wednesdays called "Anglicana" about the British Folk scene over the last 40 years.

Danny Thompson John Entwistle Ashley 'Tyger' Hutchings locally.........Andy Bass Shawn the Ox the handsome 29 year old fellow from Delicate AWOL

RnB started on Belmont Street! (upstairs, on the same side as the Cavern). Then it moved to Rosemount. I helped paint the Belmont St place before it opened.

I just dip in and out, so am prepared to be slagged off.......I've obvious stuff like Aphex Twin etc....used to have a few FSOL albums, but sold most and only have ISDN now(black velcro cover). Also like Autechre, Mu-sic (can't do the squiggle thing), and easy-listening things like Ultramarine, Tonto's Expanding Headband etc. More experimentally I like Trevor Wishart, Tim Souster, White Noise, Toop & Eastley.

You'll just have to make do with a big sparkly Jim!

Getting back to the earlier bit of the thread......if they haven't already been mentioned then these would be fun to cover....... "The medium was tedium" (Desperate Bicycles) "Warrior in Woolworths" (X-Ray Spex) "Safety-pin stuck in my heart" (Patrik Fitzgerald)
