Definitely up for catching up when you're up. Maybe a beer with Bill? You heard the new Radiohead album by the way?

A few seem to have disappeared in the post, probably due to the tiny envelopes. I'll fire another across. The date itself is August 27th this year. It's in Sweden.

Hi Ed, gigs are a bit tricky at the moment but will keep my eyes open. I heard mixed things about their latest but would definitely like to see them live. Are you in Sheffield any time soon, by the way? Would be good to catch up - I've seen Bill a few times and we both had a beer with Tom the other day, reminiscing about the classic Tapes line-up!

Alright Ed, hope you're well? sorry for not replying to your last message - it's been a hectic month. I can recommend the new Walkmen album, along with this year's Beach House, Best Coast, and Titus Andronicus albums. Other than that, I'm listening to lots of Wu Tang Clan and 70s UK folk such as Pentangle/Fairport Convention. A weird mixture, but it seems to be hitting the spot. How's everything else going? You back up in Sheffield any time soon?

Vampire Weekend is a grower...look at my chart for the last seven days - 70 listens or something crazy. Cousins is probably the biggest instant favourite, but "I Think Ur a Contra" and "Taxi Cab" are both pretty awesome. Give it another chance!

Have you given the new Vampire Weekend album much of a listen? If so, what do you think? I actually paid for the mp3s...first time I've ever done that. Was pissed off that I never received a promo and couldn't be bothered waiting...

The new Shearwater record (The Golden Archipelago) is amazing - you should check it out. Efterklang's Magic Chairs also comes highly recommended

Why not? If I can get free tickets it should be an entertaining night out. I'm embracing my camp pop side...

I see you're on some sort of Swedish music trip at the moment -- good stuff! I can highly recommend a band called Vapnet (who you can find on Spotify) if you wish to continue in this vein...

Alright Ed, I noticed that the Thermals website says they're playing York on Feb 7th, whereas their MySpace says Sheffield. I hope it's the MySpace listing that's correct -- perhaps York was cancelled and they slotted in the Shakespeare at the last minute?

Alright? A shame about practice but perhaps it's for the best - am still feeling quite full of flu. Don't think i'll be up for a few pints; i'm trying to save my resources for tomorrow if i'm up for going out. What are you planning? Did you get tickets for the Offbeat thing? It seems it's been sold out since way before Christmas...

Accidentally posted this in my shoutbox yesterday. Sorry for not getting in touch re: today. Have a nasty flu bug thing, so i'm just going to stay in and take it easy today. ... The Thermals at the Shakespeare?! Ridiculous. I'm there, they're a good band. Who is promoting these gigs? It's good to see some slightly left of centre bands coming to Sheffield. Let me know what you think of Parts & Labor...

Alright Ed, I've been looking at some gigs for 2008. Really fancy this one - http://www.last.fm/event/855001 - been meaning to check out the Shakespeare, which is our nearest music venue, for a while and this band is pretty good (http://www.noripcord.com/reviews/music/parts-and-labor/receivers)

Alright? I got your e-mail about band practice. I agree. Let's sort some sessions out well in advance. I'll send my schedule over for the next few months. I also -- for once! -- agree with your choice for a cover. Revolution Blues would be awesome. I've nailed the guitar parts including a rudimentary solo and it sounds good. I think we could do an awesome version of this. Glad you both got Fleet Foxes tickets. It's going to be a great gig I think. Emma won a £100 voucher for Ticketmaster at work the other too, which I'm hoping to cash in on!

Ed, do you fancy the Hold Steady at Sheffield Leadmill - December 7th? It's a Sunday night. Tickets not out yet, but I'm probably going to buy as I don't want to lose out.. After that, I might try to bag freebies too.

http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/record_review/43359-wild-mountain-nation http://www.noripcord.com/reviews/music/blitzen-trapper/wild-mountain-nation They're supposed to be good and it's in the uni - Fusion nonetheless. Cheap entry too. I haven't got tickets though. I have Fleet Foxes tickets for me and Emma. Bill might be interested, I got him into them when you were away. I can probably get Vampire Weekend tickets too. Are you off work today?

davenoripcord
definitely. i have a list of things i'd thought about on my last.fm profile actually: Blitzen Trapper (6/10) Vampire Weekend (22/10) Fleet Foxes (29/10) Okkervil River (Wolverhampton! I have a guest list for this) (10/11) Death Cab (17/11) Were there any others you fancied? Black Keys?

Excuses, excuses. Could you do me a favour- could you try my test website http://67.228.125.99/ and see if it's working? I can't load it up here but the host tells me the server is working fine at his end. If you could let me know that would be awesome.

no idea re: file type. shame the sound can't be repaired. i wonder if you could chop it together and puts bits in slo-mo etc. to make a promo video for dangerous lazarus then? would be nice to use the footage for some good! can you at least spin rebel angel round? would be a good one to embed on our myspace page for the time being as sound quality is decent.

you're right. good one to start with as we had plenty of time to make up for those mistakes -- it's just a bit pedestrian isn't it? i agree -- the intro is good. I like the prelude video. good fun, your mates taking the piss out of you...

when the sound's ok, we're not bad- i can hear a few duff notes (i think this was my worst song personally) and tom drops his stick twice (see 2:00 and also early on) but it's ok. the song is pretty full from what i can tell.

The video itself looks ok. the sound is good in patches, but you're right- the bass seems to overload everything and it fucks the sound up. i agree, this probably could be edited to make it sound better though. i wonder what rebel angel sounds like? might it be worth trying to upload that? without the bass i guess that might sound best?

I think Tom's still quite excited about the music. He's gagging to see these videos plus he said he was well up for doing new material. I think that's pretty positive?

Where were the flats you were (supposed to be) looking at? I've been looking at houses today, up in Crosspool. Saw a really nice one which is unfortunately under offer so we've got no chance of raising the funds (i.e. selling this place) in time.

Can't believe you're nearly 1000 tracks ahead of me. I've been listening to loads of music too. I don't know how you do it. You've also listened to 390 different artists compared to my measly 169...

Alright Ed- Yeah, I can't really do Offbeat either! Going to watch the new Coen brothers film with Emma instead plus have work Saturday AM again. In Barnsley at 8AM. I'll mail over the mp3 files for that track. I wrote another song tonight, a jangly indie pop about killing old people. I might record that soon too.

Good line-up. I'd particularly want to see: Iron & Wine, Animal Collective, The National, Battles, Lichens, Sunset Rubdown, Liars, Jens Lekman and Dinosaur Jr. Plenty of others worth checking out though. I'll look into tickets...

I've tweaked our MySpace page a little. Added some new photos and amended the biography. I'll add more photos tomorrow when I can be bothered tidying them up.
