Frost* / Re: What's the best quote...

Jem watching TBE recording drums for (I think) Falling Down, with Ben Humphries doing the recording on the PC.
"Here it comes..."
"Wooooo, it's a keeper!, It's a keeper!"

Remembering that TBE was knackered and still played an absolute blinder.

Quote from: "johninblack"Personally I couldn't give a stuff who is singing any individual part just so long as it's done well and on this album it most certainly is :D

amen x

Thirded.

But it would be great to see Dec wearing his falsettos...

Well, my missus' record collection includes Lionel Richie and 5-star, so I'm not expecting much...

...but she did say when hearing Toys for the first time, "Hmmm Manic Street Preachers?"...

Well sod her, my five year old loves Daddy's loud music and she asks for it every time in the car, so... noblesse oblige.

Quote from: "catherine"Ah, so he wasn't entirely sober, then?
I can see that some on the forum might see me as casting some negative vibes about here regarding JM, so I wanted to clear up that this is certainly not the case at all.  His performance on the Total Rock session was entertainment personified.

But in my opinion, he'd certainly been on the same tablets as Kerry Katona, let me put it that way.

Frost* / New Drummer Rumours?
November 24, 2008, 11:27:56 PM
First, let me say a big, nay huge thanks to The Mighty Andy Edwards for many entertaining performances and two simply stunning studio albums drumming with Frost*.

Very best wishes to you and I look forward to your own next project.

Now onto the drumming chair and rumours of the new owner.

Anyone for Craig Blundell - well known on the scene and a friend of Andy (possibly Jem too)...?

You're probably just hearing Dec after having had a cold shower and pushing them back up.

Jem writes 'em high and Dec knocks them out of the park.  Well done sir, well done.

discombobulation

There's really nothing to compare with it, in my book.

Frost* / Re: Secret Message

So there's an EIMA secret message - "I buried Andy."
Now we hear that he is leaving the Frost* live unit.

And... I remember Jem posting a number of before and after shots of his garden view from t'Cube a while ago...  :!:

Co-incidence?  My famous conspiracy theorising is going into overdrive.  Is TBE already 'under the sod' as we say in these parts?  Done in by a sudden bi-polar manic knife attack from one of the UK's foremost writer/producer/musicians while under massive pressure to deliver a killer prog album?

Those of you attending the Peel gig have a damn good look and make sure it isn't Chris Maitland in a TBE mask!   :roll:

Jem might be giving us the settings or the code for use in a particular tool, to decifer the message.  Could be something in the Pro Tools family but then again he'd know that very few of us have access to this, so perhaps it's more simple...

Jem is wrapping up videoing the DJ and generally arsing about.  Should be good content for a further Frosties video blog.
Nice one Jem and Johhny.

Gear Corner / Re: Silly purchases
November 14, 2008, 02:55:25 PM
Pioneer Laserdisc, bought in 1988 - The future of digital A/V.

Not only that, but a few months after I replied to an ad where a bloke was selling a dozen 'laser discs' for £30.  He offered to meet me locally as he would be passing the area.

I looked in the bag he had and there seemed to be around a dozen sleeves for movies and some music.  He got one out and showed me a silver coloured disc, so I thought I'd give it a shot and paid him the £30.

(by this time - you're starting to tut and feel like you know what's coming... aren't you?)

Got them home and took them all out of their sleeves.  Funny... the rest of these aren't silver coloured...
Turned out to be some old Philips analogue format, audio only I believe.  Didn't have the player for them, total waste of money.
The silver disc was a Japanese language promo thing that had people on it doing some kind of extreme sports.  At least it actually played.

Of the grand total of 7 proper laserdisc discs I ever had - I sold four on ebay for £3-4 each, two wouldn't play anymore and I kept one, my favourite - Def Leppard In The Round, Live Concert.  I loved that one.

Got the player and the Leps out a few years ago having moved house and it being in mothballs for yonks.  Plugged in, loaded up, got the full-on servo whoosh as it tried to spin 2KG of disc up to speed.  On came the Leps - doin' their thang, in mega-techno glory.
Then GRINDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!  Phiz, Pop, Gurgle.

No disc, no player.  :-(  Bastard.
