Hahaha, poor bloke
His name is a euphemism for penis! Must make his career as a stand-up easier I suppose.

Listening to Pitchshifter at the minute. What did you make of them?

indeed!
Pitchshifter: never heard them before I saw them live. Brilliant live. Few great tracks (Hidden Agenda for one).

Got their album again a year or so ago and listened briefly. It's ok. some good ideas, but could've been done a bit better.

I was just listening to Please Sir, that is a fucking belter
I saw J.S. Clayden at Rock City in Nottingham a few times - he was there as a punter - and he's an absolute cock. Being from Notts himself he thinks he's the Queen of fucking Sheba because they made it semi-big.

he looks like a cock
doesn't surprise me at all
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 6 Jun 2011, 15:45, Reply)

Yeah, it's unsurprising that he was the only member of Pitchshifter who ever did interviews
at the height of their fame. Who else was really good then that I haven't listened to in ages? The problem with that era is that so much of the popular stuff was centred around that bass-heavy "nu-metal" sound. I mean, Coal Chamber FFS. They haven't aged well.

heh, I listened to a bit of Coal Chamber a while back
I only have Chamber Music. There's a couple of ok songs. Best one being their version of Shock The Monkey with Ozzy.

when those guys were big I was mostly listening to Metallica, Korn, The Offspring and Deftones.

I have their first album, mediocre but nostalgia-ridden

( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Mon 6 Jun 2011, 15:52, Reply)

I'd like to hear Loco again for old time's sake

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 6 Jun 2011, 15:56, Reply)

It hasn't aged well
but there's still plenty of fun to be had with it. In my case, mostly flailing my head about and remembering having long hair.

I'll pop it on now
It won't do you any good though.

Ditto (to an extent - Load and Reload really knackered my faith in them)
Most definitely ditto, sometimes and pre-White Pony, yes. I also went through a phase of trying to support British rock music like the Wildhearts, Terrorvision and 3 Colours Red because everything else being produced in this country at the time was so fucking dire. But mostly I was about the Manson and NIN.
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Mon 6 Jun 2011, 15:53, Reply)

I totally went off the Deftones when they brought out White Pony
seemed to get more whiny or something.

I never got into the Wildhearts. I listened to Terrorvision before I got into Metallica, but having got an album or two of theirs now, and having seen them live I can say that they are quite shit.

I did like a bit of Marilyn Manson, but mostly it was about those I mentioned
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 6 Jun 2011, 15:55, Reply)

Terrorvision were a bit shit
but somehow they were always great fun with it. I can't quite explain why I enjoy them as much as I do.

Fucking right about White Pony, they disappeared right up their own arses with that one. Thought they were Tool or something.

That album's only good for 'Passenger'

( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Mon 6 Jun 2011, 16:01, Reply)

That "Back to School" thing they followed it up with was a fucking travesty
Everything about the song and the video screamed "our album didn't shift enough copies because it wasn't very good". You could practically hear the cash registers ringing.

I like Feticeira and Digital Bath from that

( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Mon 6 Jun 2011, 16:07, Reply)

I got into rock through The Wildhearts, Terrorvision and later 3 Colours Red
Seen the former live about 16 times, fucking excellent band.

I got into rock through Bon Jovi
and I'm not in the least bit ashamed about it.
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Mon 6 Jun 2011, 16:00, Reply)

you have such a long list of things you should be ashamed about
it'd be weird if you started with liking Bon Jovi

I know I should be offended by this
but it's fucking funny

You already used Keep The Faith!
And you don't want to go down the route of Jon's solo stuff. Not unless you want to be called the Queen of New Orleans.

www.pitchshifter.com and Deviant are brilliant
Industrial and P.S.I less so, though the latter has some good tunes.

Can you have them delivered? I think I'm picking mine up at the door. I fucking hope so anyway *checks emails furiously*

Only 3 weeks now innit. Can't wait

It's up to you to name me a good pub near the gig to head for when I arrive
Because I've never been to Leamington Spa
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Mon 6 Jun 2011, 15:54, Reply)

The Well is a decent student pub near the bridge, about 2 mins from the venue.

I'll see you there. My hair's not that stupid any more so I'd best wear a red carnation or something.
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Mon 6 Jun 2011, 15:58, Reply)

No idea yet when I'll get there
But I'll let you know closer to the time.

No worries
I'll be leaving Norwich early in case there's horrific traffic, am perfectly happy to wander round the town if I'm there by half 6
