Biz Posted January 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 Wow thats weird,you have got a list comprising the record collections owned by my pal Bill ,who is keen to be a vocalist in the new band,and myself.I quite liked the Regents, I had A 7" of See you later .I saw Jayne County once,quite a spectacle,a bit like Divine,and Bill once put a choke hold on Bob Geldov,ahh...those were the days.The band have yet to get back to me ,but for now ,yes,we will do the gig.It will be interesting to hear your opinion,as so far nobody seems able to pinpoint who we sound like .or tell us if we are wasting our time or not,but thats always the way when you write music to please yourselves,and don't give a fuck about the media circus.Josephine are at Drummonds on the 30th Jan,they're ACE,Goldfrapps Black cherry is pretty neat tae.

I was shocked/happy oh yeh, most Betamax films did indeed include gratuitous 'quan-tities of titties' and ultra violencethe format was the choice of the discerning specialist bootleggers specialising in banned films, snuff and hardcore because of its superior picture and sound quality and smaller size making mail order more cost effective.....meanwhile the public took to the ridiculous VHS format, obviously preffering fuzzy vision and wobbly sound to view their stupid 'Honey Ive Spunked the Kids' and 'Die Hard - Penis' videos...

delboy Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 yeah VHS is shit, we had a betamax video in 1834 at home and it was ace, we had them at school as well till some clueless neds went and nicked them and they were promptly replaced with the rather inferior VHS.

delboy Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 yeah i'm with you there, but when i played it the fucker kept sticking, crackles are good but its annoying when the buggers stick, would make a good sample though if i had the equipment (or indeed a working amp).i actually own a gibson brothers album....
