"That orange chicken isn't chicken. Sucka."

haa ha haaaa haaa

i was two, my brother was one and my mom was 24.

Emma - as I said to Cantanky, a knackering trip to get there, but sooo beautiful. I love nature/the environment.

this is a cantankerous chatroom now with the occasional intrusive picture, right?

Everyneurotic - If you want, we could of course discuss the entire Come Organisation roster here - you up for it? :)

by which you mean i never shut up presumably

a fair statement

i need to. i need someone to put me in check.

i was talking about broken flag earlier today, i guess we could include such gentlemanly label to the discussion.


lately it's been pages and pages of people talking to you, it shows an interest, darling.

but i do have to say, i think you have grown missy; in the old days, that post would have gotten a rise out of you instantly; good for you.

all is typed with love for you as always.

I wouldn't put you in check, matey. I would buy you mucho drinks and bore you to death with gig stories, though. That must sound like hell to you, eh? ;)

The "Hand Of Glory" EP is being re-issued here in the Yoo-Kay. Yes!

I've met Gary Mundy (Mr Ramleh) a few times - a really lovely bloke.

no, that wouldn't bore me

then i wouldn't have to talk and consequently keep embarrassing myself, i could just go "mm hmm"

^^^

Me: (in boring Londoner voice): Did I tell you the time I saw a solo Robert Hampson gig? Eeh, them were the days.
You: Mmm hmm...hang on a moment..it's your round....stump up or shut up, Grandpa Simpson!"
Me: Uh, oh OK *ambles off to bar to buy Tequila shots all round*

a person involved in power electronics who is not an arsehole, as you say over there? miraculous!

i sometimes feel like you about the gigs conversation, like i'm boring people *grampa simpson voice* "i remember back in nineteen-tickiry-two, i got up that morning to make myself a piece of toast and put an onion on my belt, as it was the fashion in those days; that same evening i witnesses PARADISE lost opening for ozzy osbourne, who had three of the fantastic four as his backing band. long story short, paradise lost played..."

cantanky: read my post before this one.

Gary is great - a really sound guy. I've met Bennett, and found him pretty creepy (I still love his band, but...). My friend Frank (Anthony di Franco - ex-Skullflower) is heavily involved in Ramleh too, now. Their power electronic sets in London this year were totally kick-ass.

nah i would pay
i don't like people buying me things
i would probably listen intently, wide-eyed, because i wish i were around back in the day, i was an infant when loop put out "a gilded eternity"...february 1990? i had just been born.

"Look at this original copy of Loop's "Collision" I've got.
"That's the THIRD time you've shown me that today, Smelly!"
"Oh alright then, how about the time I saw Sonic Boom do a solo set at etc etc etc"

:)

Seriously, the 80's were a great time for music here.....which remindeth me, if I can get my act together (some bloody chance), I'll sort out a copy of the World Domination Enterprises LP for you - they were a seriously great band here in England - a cross between B Party, dub and rockabilly. Me and demonrail run are huge WDE fans (the first "proper" gig I saw was them in 1990, as a wide-eyed 18-year old git).
