Hallo Johnny! Sprichts du Deutsch dann??? Ich habe ein Gefuehl, dass du 'Babelfish' benutzt haben.. Ich bin sehr gluecklich, wenn du wirklich Deutsch spricht! (Ich wohnte ein Jahr in der Schweiz und habe Deutsch gelernt da)

Es geht mir sehr gut. Ich liebe Portland! Die Leute sind sehr nett and das Wetter gefelt mir sehr. Wie geht es dir und deiner Familie?

Ja, meine Schwester und ich haben viel Spass gehabt. Ich vermisse sie sehr. Sledgypaints geht auch gut. Er ist immer am arbeiten, aber das ist besser dann kein Arbeit.

Ja, ich erinnere mich an Beel. Ich denke nicht, dass viele Leute diese Website mehr verwenden. Das ist klar. Ich kann nicht sprechen, ich verwende es nicht auch nicht. :( Ich hoffe, dass sie auf dich schließlich reagiert.

Es freut mich sehr zu hoeren, dass es dir viel besser geht. Begeisterung fuer was? Leben? Das ist nicht gut :(

Ich hoffe auch, dass wir uns noch treffen and besser kennenlernen koennen. Kommst du noch nach Portland??? Ian and ich koennen nicht im September zu reisen gehen, weil wir nicht genuegend Geld haben. Ich bin sehr enttaeuscht. Hoffendlich koennen wir spaeter gehen.

Das Schreiben auf Deutsch war Spass. Es ist eine lange Zeit gewesen seit ich Deutsch gesprochen oder geschrieben haben. :)

Tschuess! (Das sagen sie in der Schweiz!)

Yeah, he did stuff like that with lots of celebrities. He was pretty funny. Some of the celebrities caught on that it was a joke, but most had no idea. His TV show was on before i was alive i think. I've seen best ofs though. When i was little he was in a TV show called 'Mother & Son', which i adored. The mother in that show was hilarious. I haven't seen it since i was a kid, but if you ever get the chance to see it you should have a look.

I was looking at your animal badges and the Turkey day badge reminded me that I am playing at a Turkey Buzzard Fest next month, held near where thousands of buzzards roost each fall. The first year I played there a cool thing happened. Whenever music was playing, the buzzards left the trees as if on cue and circled overhead, returning to their roosts when each music set had finished.

Level 40

In those daysThe Comedy Store was a tiny club near Leicester Square in the West End of London and it was upstairs from a strip club. I remember meeting Rik Mayall a couple of times, and also Arthur Smith (my favourite line of his was "We were going to have a guest appearance by the impotent man but we've just heard he can't come") French and Saunders were often on the bill there as well. There was one guy called Gavin Leaky who I thought was as good as all the others, but as far as I know he was never heard of again. The Comedy Store is now in a bigger place nearby the original, and is mostly improv now.

Hello. WHat's your favorite "Young Ones" I think mine is the one when the very old stuff in the fridge comes alive, as well as the one where Ade blows up the apartment. i also treasure the guest appearance by Motorhead. I wanted to know what I had to do to get them to play Ace Of Spades in my living room. in the late 70s, a friend of mine used to do standup at the Comedy Store in London. ASlexei Sayle (the landlord) used to be the compare, and Rick Mayall, Ade Edmondson and Nigel Planer all worked on the characters they would play on "The Young Ones"
"Rik" used to come onstage dressed as he was in the show, saqying that he was a group of feminist poets.

Wow, i didn't notice that at all. I'm definately not giving up on the album. It's just going to be a while before i get it out again. His past few albums grabbed me from the first track, and this one didn't. I had already heard 'Dig Lazarus Dig!', which is great, but the rest flew right by me.

I would never give up on nick and the bad seeds this early though. Especially when people i know and trust are enjoying it.

johnny_luddite

Level 40

I am well, but fed up kicking against the pricks as Cave might say. I know what you mean about 'Old Bad Seeds', but on repeated listenings, I think that on some songs he has chosen to revisit old themes and in one case old songs. I did think that 'More News From Nowhere' sounded like a slowed down rehashed version of 'Deanna' (a staple of the luddite all time top twenty) but on hearing it again, he does actually mention Deanna several times. This idea of rehashing old songs at a later date with new insight is something Neil Young has done a fair bit. I think it does work, but I hope NC does not do too much of it. I do like the album, but 'the Balck Keys' new one is dominating my playlist right now.

I'm well, how are you? I listened to the new nick cave album a few times and lost interest. I couldn't put my finger on the reason why i wasn't interested in it, but i've finally worked it out. I think i was wanting and expecting something new from them, you know? But this album just sounds like old bad seeds. So i was a bit disappointed. I haven't given up on it yet though. I'm going to listen to it again in a little while, but i think i need a break from nick for a while.

Have you heard it yet?

I think you will have the best luck on Amazon, but you might find it in local stores. Mick Harvey is Australian, but I know that does not necessarily count for anything. One of my favorite artists, Neal Casal, is Californian, but try finding any of his albums here! If you can't get hold of any Crime & The City Solution albums, there is always sendspace!

YES! Very exciting. I hope it's good. I think it will be.

I'd start off with Room of Lights. I think all the Crime & The City Solution albums are great with the possible exception of the live one! Room of Lights is available on Amazon

I like Crime And The City Solution a lot. That was pretty much the cover name for Mick Harvey of Birthday Party and Bad Seeds fame. The last Crime And The City Solution album was just him I think!

I have everything I used on the Cave mix except the Die Haut track, and I ordered that album yesterday. I had a bootleg of it in England but I found it on Amazon! As soon as I have that I will sendspace the thing and let you know.

I saw the Birthday Party once, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds many many times, as well as associated acts like Barry Adamson, Einstende Neubaten, Crime & The City Solution, etc etc. I like the people Nick Cave listened to to get to where he wants to be mujsically, so I guess it was inevitable I would loike him. If you have never heard 'The Carny', you are in for a treat!

There are a lot of bastard world leaders about. I am glad you got rid of yours. I remember when we got rid of Thatcher in the UK, some people actually had street parties. By the way, there is an excellent anti Thatcher song by Elvis Costello called 'Tramp The Dirt Down'

Ok, I won't seek out Cat Empire, but please don't ever think that I am in any way sensible! Would I still be making mixtapes at the age of 103 if I was sensible? Would I have willingly moved from London, the city I love for Porterville, CA, a tiny sweat soaked red neck town that does not even have a bookshop if I was sensible? I rest my case. One thing though, I am just curious about music I don't know. I have found most of the best stuff that way, and of course a whole pile of shite as well!

Mixtape Potpourri II: Third Place

Level 26

oh god, don't track down the cat empire just because they were used in mix with other artists you like. You won't like them.

I probably shouldn't like them, but they're just so much fun and if you sift through the absolute shit on their CDs you get these little gems.
Most sensible people don't like them, so please don't go out of your way to listen to them because of me. That would be very embarrassing

No no, I want to hear bands I haven't heard of in a mix of stuff I absolutely love. Many of my favorite artists such as John Martyn and Richard Thompson are pretty obscure and unknown, even in the UK where they come from.

If you can find the correct spelling, listen to Kay Sahn. (It's a city in Vietnam if that helps.... i think it's in Vietnam anyway)

Thankyou!

Ever heard of Cold Chisel? Jimmy Barnes was the singer. They were from the 80s, they're Australian, they made a whole bunch of shit music. Then good ol' Jimmy decided he'd go solo.

Australians LOVE cold chisel. Kay Sahn is their most famous tune and is played EVERYWHERE you go on a friday or saturday night.

P.S. I don't know how to spell Kay Sahn. It's a city but I'm bad at spelling foreign words and places

Yeah, Bowie has reinvented himself so many times, explored so many different areas, that a mixtape of just him could be just as varied as one featuring all different acts. I actually like making alternative mixtapes of individual artists, seeing how much my compilation differs from the official greatest hits compilations. Any best of Bowie mixtape I compiled would start with a very early song, 'In the heat Of The Morning', which I love.
