I loved the film when I was younger. Not seen it for a couple of decades now…

I was born and raised in Coventry: Adorable Blitzkreig Zone Bolt Thrower Cathedral Clint Mansell Delia Derbyshire Dragster Hazel O'Connor Ludicrous Lollipops Martin Atkins Russell Haswell Terry Hall The Enemy The Primitives The Selecter The Specials Or you could just browse here: https://sites.google.com/site/bandsfromcoventry/coventry-bands-a-to-z I lived in Newport for about 15 years: 60ft Dolls Cowboy Killers Darling Buds Desecration Dub War Feeder Flyscreen Goldie Lookin Chain Hobgoblin Novocaine Pizzatramp Punk Action Shotgun Skindred Where I live now:

So version 1 of my pedalboard got a quick test yesterday. Currently: in -> Hyper Gravity -> StroboStomp -> Godeater -> LS-2 in -> LS-2 out -> Zoom B3 -> NUX DI -> out LS-2 loop A is a dry parallel signal LS-2 loop B send -> HM-2 ->Trace Elliot Quad Chorus -> EHX Memory Man -> loop B return The Zoom is there while I figure out if there are any other types of pedal I need (ignore current patch) and the Hyper Gravity might go. Just waiting for a 2.5mm dc barrel to arrive to make a 2.1 to 2.5 lead for the Quad Chorus then I can ditch its dedicated wall wart. Then I can neaten up the all the cables with some cable ties and such.

What made you mount the speakers in a breeze block? 😉

I saw the Macc Lads a few times back in the day. Then the puerile school boy "humour" novelty wore off. I can't believe they're still going... I'm not offended by them, I just don't see the point.

As I'm up in Coventry, for the new year, I popped to Bass Direct this morning. My parents got me a pedal board power supply for christmas, so I thought I'd better get a pedalboard 😬 I also picked up a Peterson Strobostomp HD. Although I went to get a Pedaltrain Classic 2 they had advertised on the website, they didn't have one in stock. But they did have a Classic 1... that they didn't know they'd ordered. I've ordered some Harley Benton patch cable kits from Thomann. So once I'm back home and that's arrived I can spend a good few hours setting up a pedal board. But for now, it looks like this: 😆

For me '70 is all about Éliane Radigue:

I like the look of that, and i'm not much of a fan of tort!!

Same happened to me with an Ashdown CTM-300. Except they just stopped the payment...

Boss LS-2?

Are we looking at the same thing??

Same bass, different white balance...

That's absolutely beautiful!!

Just noticed they have an "Alpha Omega Poton" 🤔

Big Sur and Safari 15.0 here. EDIT: but the website could be doing with being a lot nicer...

All good here:

It's a little bit out of date looking, but it works fine for me on Safari

Ped and Paul are there. Jed (Mark's brother) was an original member for a short while. Ryan Molloy was recruited on vocals the month before the performance.

Plus contacting Ampeg and venting at them...

That looks pretty damned sweet!

I went to a gig by Ministry of Wolves. One of the members is Alexander Hacke from Einstürzende Neubauten, he's not a small guy. During a quiet part of a song you could hear a guy talking in the crowd. Whilst still playing the guitar Alex got off the stage, walked over to the guy and told him to STFU and calmly walked back. For most of the rest of the show he just stared at the guy in the crowd, almost daring him to talk again.

Starting today with something fairly mellow and slightly unsettling:

Not so much spamming, as such as I signed to lists, but Bandcamp. On Bandcamp Fridays I get up to 40 emails, plus maybe 20-30 during a normal week
