It's already cold here
Since this year is my Finals year I will naturally be spending a lot more time out and about, not doing work and having fun. Bearing that in mind I want to increase my gig attendence. Any suggestions for between October and December gigs that are worth the attending, preferably in London, Oxford or bristol (or possibly Brighton)?

Alt Q: Favourite season and why?

Alt Alt Q: Just for the look of the thing: how soon till we have proper virtual reality?
(I helped save b3ta! Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Wed 15 Sep 2010, 13:40, 308 replies, latest was 16 years ago)
God Speed You Black Emperor in Bristol in December. A few of us are going so if you like them get a ticket.
Alt Q: Torn between Autumn and Winter. Autumn is incredibly pretty and lends itself to great days out. Winter smells different, I really like it. I love those days where you can smell christmas outside and when it snows as well.

Alt Alt Q: No idea about technical stuff. I think it will be a while yet though.

Anson Rooms
Do you have to be a student to get tickets?
(Tugnut Ex of this parish, Wed 15 Sep 2010, 13:51, Reply)
Nope,
Quite a nice venue as well. Two minutes from the centre or Clifton Village.

edit - which you of course know already. *belms*

It'll be a while before virtual reality is actually around
augmented reality becoming common place in 5-10 years.
Computer games will become more realistic and immersive constantly but that's not exactly virtual reality.

I had someone once come to me with a 'buisness idea' that I simply _have_ to get in behind.
It's basicly a white tredmill with projectors pointed to all the walls, so people can take vertual walks around towns.

She got very angry when I said "What happens when you want to turn left/right?" and "You do know this'll be a very expensive set-up, you wouldn't get it in your average home, where would the income come from?", it was the most retarded buisness proposal I've heard in a long time.

Because of my friendlyness and technical no-how, I find I get a lot of people approaching me with ideas.
Sometimes they're fantastic, sometimes they're rubbish.

Things like I would be talking to a shop owner and someone would over-hear, or a friend of a collegue, anything like that.

I know Professor Green's playing Cambridge in October, so is likely touring
If you're into that sort of thing.

Alt Q: Summer because I love the sun, being warm, and girls tend to wear less.
Alt Alt Q: Proper, fully immersive, Holodeck/Matrix VR? Probably never.

In Bristol...
...Motorhead and Belle & Sebastian. (Obviously not on the same line up.)
Alt Q - Spring. Because it is full of hope and cleanses the soul.
Alt Alt Q - Next Tuesday. After Corrie.

I like all seasons I reckon, I like summer cause it's warm and more fun than winter, but I like autumn because of the wind

Sorry, no gigs I'm aware of, I'm having to avoid them currently
I would suggest the London Bash, but you're already there, so no point!

Alt Q: Sadly, due to english weather, I think they're all shit.

Alt alt Q: If you mean topped up with true AI, then we're still years away. Plus AI scares me, how can we be sure Skynet won't actually happen?

There's loads of stuff on in Birmingham
And it's only an hour or so on the train. Look here here and here

(Tugnut Ex of this parish, Wed 15 Sep 2010, 14:02, Reply)
Much as I love The Hawks,
they’re just not as good as they used to be by a long chalk. Not like Gong who, since Steve Hillage rejoined, are better live now than they have been since the late 70s. The brain-melting projections help with this a great deal.

That’s right.
Nik Turner’s Space Ritual is made up entirely of ex-Hawks including legendary naked drummer Terry Ollis. I have to say they were shit last Saturday.

Ollis was a legend.
There are several knackered old guys knocking round my department who claim to have jammed with him at various points.

As for Space Ritual, I wasn't particularly impressed with recordings I heard of them. Still, glad to hear Gong were good.

for someone who grew up with Meatloaf and Queen before finding Guns n Roses and adopting
them as marker for all future bands to be weighed against. What band would you reccomend to sample some of the stuff you mention that I have never heard of? David Bowie is not an acceptable answer.

They are now
but as a 12 year old I thought they were the best thing in the world. I recorded all their videos and concerts off the telly as soon as we got sky and even mimed a cover of Paradise City for a school talent competition with apple juice filled whisky bottles. We thought we were very cool. I still love everything they have done bar the Chinese Democracy.

More than a bit. EDIT:
3-4 good tunes. No more. They were a bunch of fucking benders whose only merit was their services to the Doogie Howser industry. No more worthy than similar knob-jockeys Motley Crue – a band who soiled the umlaut as a band-name device for ever, despite the best efforts of Pig Iron.

you need to not be offended by monty not liking some things
because his madness is overshadowed by how good all of the stuff he points me to is.

for instance, he doesn't like Floyd, other than the really early stuff, and I love them. That is insignificant compared to the wonders he has pointed me to, like Bigelf, and Tractor, and Jim Jones Revue
(I helped save b3ta! Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 15 Sep 2010, 14:37, Reply)
No offence taken at all
but how can he go from 4 to none in a line! I also think Floyd were shit. I'd rather David Gilmour smashed a brick into his teeth than place it in the wall.

My dad played them to death when I was a kid so I think I got bored of the long intro's which
is why I latched on to Queen, The Boss, Sting and the Police, etc as they were quite poppy and quick. I was too young for prog rock.

my dad was into stuff like The Everly Brothers and Dr Hook
and some Quo and The Eagles. His taste went downhill as he aged though.

Embarrassingly I was really into Oasis when I was a young teenager, a battered tape of Metallica's Black album saved me. Didn't get into Floyd until uni really.

I've never really liked Springsteen

Matt Schofield is playing London on the 20th and Oxford on the 22nd. Then if you can stomach the trip back to London again, Ian Siegal is playing on the 25th.

Faith Healer is the badger
(And we have played that one a few times before, I do like it.) Must admit though, despite joining the band, I'm not that big a fan of SAHB in general. But it is mostly blues/rock n' roll so it's good fun to jam on.

You guys obviously write a lot faster than we do...
(LongJohnBaldry, Wed 15 Sep 2010, 15:12, Reply)
we write very very fast
most of our songs are quite simple, or a lot of improv, but the basics are laid down fast.

Our singer can basically freestyle
(I helped save b3ta! Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 15 Sep 2010, 15:15, Reply)
See, we have the problem
that the writing is basically left to me. Coming up with the music is alright, but lyrics take forever. Our drummer doesn't get involved (he can barely remember the names of the songs as it is) and I'm sure our guitarist would offer to help if it weren't for the fact that his first language is Russian.
(LongJohnBaldry, Wed 15 Sep 2010, 15:17, Reply)
I can't write lyrics at all.
I come up with songs occasionally but my strengths lie in taking a basic song from someone else and improving and adding stuff.
(I helped save b3ta! Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 15 Sep 2010, 15:23, Reply)
Oddly enough our guitarist usually does that
Normally I bring chords, a bassline and a tune to the proceedings, with the odd guitar riff or melody thrown in. If I give him enough time to work on it, he usually finds something pretty good to play over the top that my own shoddy guitar playing wouldn't have drummed up.
(LongJohnBaldry, Wed 15 Sep 2010, 15:27, Reply)
it can work well
because our singer/guitarist isn't burdened by any knowledge of musical theory (at all, even down to chord names) he comes up with odd stuff and does it very quickly.

what is nice is when he'll play something and I will just hear in my head what lead bit it needs, and then play it.

If blues is permitted, then Joanne Shaw Taylor is rather delightful and can also play the guitar like SRV. If trip-hop/electro is permitted then Geike Arnaert is possibly the most beautiful woman on this earth.

It's currently proper enough to evoke the same physical and psychological responses as a real environment, it's just that the realtime graphics are still not great and the equipment is somewhat of a hindrance.

They are (WERE) an excellent little-known Manchester band
They then moved to London, started dressing up like burlesque pirates and rewriting their songs to fit that image.
Applebite loves the Moulettes (the 3 original members + various oddities) whereas Skinny Indie Girl and I love the original band, keytars and bleeps and all.

Having listened to both versions of Bloodshed
I think I prefer the Moulettes. The pirate image is a bit pretentious/silly, but I think I prefer their sound, though that may just be because it tallies better with all the Tom Waits and Emily Loizeau I've been listening to of late. Think I could get into this Modernaire lot, mind.
(LongJohnBaldry, Wed 15 Sep 2010, 15:41, Reply)
Maybe it's because the Modernaire one was the first one I heard, and loved while young
I don't know, I think it's an excellent piece of pop, it can stand alone without hurdygurdies etc.

I've never really listened to Tom Waits, though as an even younger child we had an alternative interpretation Disney CD. His version of the Dwarves' Marching Song is terrifying yet amazing. And of course Muse sampled him. And his part in Rumblefish. But I'm afraid I don't knwo that much about him.

I was introduced to Tom Waits when I was 18
A friend in my hall lent me Rain Dogs - his words were along the lines of "I thought this might be the kind of thing you'd like. It's a bit dark for me."

Of course, I was sceptical, because he thought The Doors were "a bit too dark", but I was hooked from the first play.

one of the things I like about them is that they have a timeless quality. Their sound and their songs have aged very well indeed.
