h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I know it's completely for girls and poofs and that EVERYONE has played it over and over and that a bafta (or 8!) is usually a fairly good indiaction of something being tottally overrated...and you're probably going to stick your fingers down your throat at the thought and that no self-respecting (ex?) punk (once a punk always a punk I guess?) would rather swim in a lake of puke than admit that it was any way close to being considered to be anything other that the sugary coated warbleings of some noncey american bird....BUT......

that Norah Jones is a bit of alright...and makes some pretty good shaggin' toons t'boot....(in my view) you given it a chance at all?

As I am not gay or a fop/little girl, Norah jones will not be on my play list! ........ not for me at all, I'm afraid.

come on now....you've not even tried have you.......(in patronising tone)...










(fair enough....I guess)


I must admit - it doesn't take long for me to switch to METALLICA - just for an appropriate counter balance....it's a Yin Yang Thang...(hey...that's a good name for a band)

In an equally patronising tone ........ but I have given her a chance ..... 3 singles released from the album are enough for me to make my mind up ....... is this a desperate stab in the dark, knowing I have the W/Stripes but you have nothing left to trade me?

calm down...calm down - don't you get all on me! (mutter..mutter...threaten me....mutter mutter..new white stripes...mutter)......

The Norah ref was more to do with the fact that she'd been warbling in my head all morning that day - and I just wondered...just happened to cross my mind in an abstract and fairly random way...without giving it much consideration (obviously!) whether you'd given THE ALBUM a chance (rather than radio listening) - I just wanted to see if there was a warm and soft side to the hard-core sdm that we all know and love...

obviously not, I'll back off and get on with the metallica I promised...shame I don't have the facility to burn from my vinyl or I might have considered the 12" if CREEPING DEATH with MY MOTHER WAS A WITCH b-side...would that have been more to sir's taste?

ps got hold of some hard-core Tom Waits you might like.....

I have a fluffy side - (ish) which plays like:

The Orb
Portishead
Quiet Neil Young
T. Dream (OOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMM)

er.......

um...........

Dub stuff
M. Attack

See ........!

ok, now I see... (the T.Dream was the give away)...

no pretensions at country / jazz crossover type songstresses then......ok.

Continuing email list ......... I haven't any dreadzone albums, just some tracks on compilations, so an album would be welcome.

I've got both the N.Young you mentioned.

Orb - got the first two only (classics that are hard to beat) some more would be good.

oh yeah, the Sabres track has been used in a Times advert and also for the london marathon!

What are you after next?

YOU HAVEN'T ANY DREADZONE!..you're in for a treat then...three of the finest albums of their type in my view..I reckon the latest one might be up your steet...has the guy from leftfield (can't remember his name) on it......I'd hightly recommend them all

..and Orbus Terrerum...although I should say..not a patch on earlier stuff..still you may find it interesting....

as for what I'm after...ummm I think I'll go for

Sticky Fingers (stones of course)...and umm oh yeah..
New White Stripes?

I must confess...I've been so busy today, I didn't get to the post....so 2moro's the score for sending yours...

also wanted to say (in case you missed email)...I'd bite your hand off for a little four-track...even if it is just for tinkering...more than happy to pay postage for it. Nice one, thanks very much...(maybe I could stretch to 2 pints some day!).

(In view of potential freebie..I'll let your derogatory remarks re "for you it would be fine" slide)

I know what you mean about tinkering when your playing with yourself (infantile snigger)...

here's the bad news....I don't have your postal address at work! I reckon I've got it on an email at home...but that means yet another day's delay on getting your discs in the post...how crap am I?

so - either you post your work address here....or wait and see if a package turns up at work on monday (in which case I've found it at home.....) soz mate....oh humm

I did get email

Ok - I'll go for Dreadzone and the Orb then and do you W/Stripes and Stones.

Have to wait a bit to get some blanks though .. don't get paid until end of next week.

There is a thread we are both on and i want to slag something off but in case of lurking, cannot bitch until email is restored on tuesday

catch ya monday

the suspense is killing me......

Well ,you're gonna have to wait! It may be a long time in coming as some f****er has lost my email !!! All addresses + messages gone
Will have to set up new one .... will try to keep same contact ... will let you know!

By the way, what did you mean by The Damned track on compilation was not what you expected?

sorry to hear about your mail..someones arse would appear to need a good kicking...

re: the damned - just pleasantly surprised to hear them doing a Jefferson Starship number...just didn't seem to fit with the "never trust a hippy" punk ethos....

as for your discs...I need that work address someone.....?

I will send my work address to your home email - can't remember the work one.

The damned have a lot of stuff like that - very gothy phycedeliac!

Keep an eye on your zappa site, man ...... questions there that need answers!

fancy Lemon Jelly - Lost Horizons ...another that would require plugging onto that Orb space in your head..but could be worth a try.....??
