well, i've got the colours 'right' again, so comments are legible now. now to learn some proper html/php and so to the next big update (apparently, i didn't get the spannerworks job because there was no proof i could do html so i think this is important).
everyone seems very keen to have a part in the kid b project (i'd like to think there's absolutely no chance that the final album will be called that). i might tentatively stretch to a tracklisting:
1. Everything In Its Right Place: bishop fuckers?
2. Kid A: nes advantage
3. National Anthem:?
4. How To Disappear Completely: dandy o'howitzer
5. Treefingers: radio feisar
6. Optimistic: hanson?
7. In Limbo: ?
8. Idioteque: rebessica?
9. Morning Bell: grilly (i bagsed it first)
10. Motion Picture Soundtrack: the gallow slutt collective
there are a lot of question marks here. motion picture soundtrack has got to be recorded as a singalong in a big echoey room with as many instruments and singers as possible, at least everyone who appears on the record. in limbo is surely the most difficult song. any takers? what can we put girls girls girls and dude where's my car down for?
other music that i forgot to write about the other day:
garden have put their new album online to stream.
you should email andy and ask him for a copy of 'silver bullet' his new understated work, 'silver bullet'.
i went to the job centre the other day, to explain myself (as you do). however, it turns out they'd closed my claim because i'd not been in. i'd been working three days too long, which meant i'd have to do a 'rapid reclaim'. it's a tenuous definition of 'rapid'; although the forms themselves were surprsingly light, they couldn't fit me in for two weeks.
speaking of covers by the way, does anyone want to form a functions/party/covers band and play in the french alps over the skiing season for 450 quid a week per person? this is a genuine request.

Would accomodation be provided?
full board.
"GIGZ Management employ young, talented music graduates (mainly covers/party bands but also classical musicians) to play in the French Alps over the winter season (from mid-December) and also at corporate summer events. You will get the chance to travel but also to hone your live performance skills and mix your own sound.
The duration of the Alps tour can run from 3 weeks to four months. The pay is 450 pounds (after accommodation etc paid for) per person per week. You will also get cheap season ski pass, accommodation, help with all necessary paperwork etc."
Well-
Firstly we'd have to get the stuff over there. Secondly, we'd have to put in some time to learn about 30 awful covers of 60s rock. Thirdly, it looks like we've missed the ski-lift:

oooh! kai be the bassist? thom would do it but he forgot his blogger password.
ed: firstly, while the gear might be a problem, i bet they've got that sorted out. i mean, they're supposed to be organising it after all. secondly, learning 30 awful rock songs isn't hard for me or you. it'll be a riot. thirdly, that article is from 2001, and only proves that it's not only covers bands they want. still interested?
thom: you playing bass was exactly what i had in mind. wavelengthtastic!
can we count jez/laz in?
I'm sure we could talk him into it. I'd be up for a short tour. We would, of course, have to call ourselves 'The Locksmiths'
'the locksmiths' is good. 'sinister locksmith' is better.
can we come on stage to this?
Sinister Locksmith sounds a bit too much like a rape-themed porn thriller. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, I'm just not certain how it'll play with the 18-30 AB income demographic.
They'll go for anything with the word 'Monkey' in it. Perhaps we should call ourselves Psychic Monkey and go on stage to this: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a3/SHODAN.ogg
