RODDY A pleasure!
Bill Any plans for more UK dates ?
............................ george joined.............
............................ Chizuho left.............
RODDY No plans at the moment, Bill but I'm easy, y'know?
Michael Corey... you have a question?
RODDY Wow! Typos galore...
Corey Yes
Michael We forgive you, Roddy. :)
............................ jorge left.............
Michael Who's next...
Corey Roddy, greetings from No. California......what kind of guitars and amps did you use on the recording of HLHR......and what is your favorite Bob Dylan song?
RODDY Masano acoustics, Gibson 175, Fender Twin, Roland jc 120, and I love "Every Grain Of Sand" by Dylan.
Michael Frank, you have a question?
Frank yes
Frank Hi Roddy, are you in London at the moment? I would like to know: Is it true you're opposed to rereleasing the Postcard-singles on CD? I would love to see them on a best of Aztec Camera CD!
RODDY Hi, Frank. I don't think the Postcard stuff'll make it to the "Best Of" but then I don't know if they'd gain much from CD quality. They're archetypally indie, I think!
RODDY I'm in London!
Michael Graham's up...
RODDY Oh-Oh
Michael Ha ha...
Graham About the writing phase you're going through, I'd love to hear what sort of stuff you're comin up with.. Is it in the same vein as TNS?
............................ Bill left.............
Graham Sorry, but that ? wasn't well put together...
RODDY Hi Graham. Yes so far it is, but less...chirpy, you know, less country-pickin, more blocks of chords, maybe a little drier, a bit of drum machine....
Graham Thanks for that, Mr Frame!
............................ Ann left.............
............................ Stuart left.............
Michael Inertial... you're up.
InertialDamping Hiya Roddy,the Neil Finn/Graham bloke from 10cc thing sounded like a blast,any chance of you doing something similar again? a supergroup perhaps??!!could I join in??!! hehehe
lev they're droppin like flies
............................ Stuart joined.............
RODDY To Michael, my list of participants & private box thang is obscured by the "chat room" logo, are you the guy I complain to?
WWWebster Mine too, Roddy. I think it is a Mac issue.
Squidanddaz No, were on a Mac,ours is fine
Graham Mine's fine too
Squidanddaz Can you widen screen, perhaps?
Magus do we need to be in a private box to talk with Roddy?
Serene i have a mac too, just open the screen wider?
lev it is a small screen issue
Michael Hmmm... it is? Yep, I guess you'd log the complaint with me. I'll have to look into it.
RODDY I take back all the nice things I said about Macs! That Steve Jobs is the new Bill Gates!
............................ Steven joined.............
lev nonononono!
Caroline But they look so much more..well..bubbly
............................ modster1 joined.............
lev it's just the imac has a smaller screen, get a G3
WWWebster Take it easy, I work for Apple :-)
Graham Just buy a 2nd hand one and stick tupperware on it...
Squidanddaz Trust me, you'd have 1,000 more probs with a pc! I know from using one at work!
............................ jorge joined.............
lev ooops free for all
WWWebster I have a G3/400 and a 21" monitor and I still have it . It may be an IE 4.5 issue
lev back back to the rules!
RODDY Supergroup? I think you'll have to change your name first, although "Dampen Inertia" is kinda modern in a Radiohead album title -way
WWWebster agreed, Lev!
InertialDamping hehehe
............................ Corey left.............
Michael Magus, you have a question for Roddy?
WWWebster Michael, Who is next?
............................ george left.............
jorge thanks
Magus Yes. do I just type here, or go to a private box?
lev I'm running 4.04, and the screen is gorgeous
Michael Just type it in normally.
RODDY I think IE 4.5 may be the problem, actually. I take it back, that Bill Gates etc...
lev YAY! you learn fast
lev get netscape!
Magus Hey, Roddy. I sent you this book called the Magus (via fan club). Did you get it? Just trying to give back a little that your music has given me. What do you like to read?
InertialDamping get a zx spectrum 48k!
............................ Graham left.............
............................ Graham joined.............
Squidanddaz Yeah, Graham! You scared us!
Magus Gracias, Steven, It's my favorite too.
Graham I only went to see which version I was using and it obliterated me!! (It's 4.5 and it's fine)
RODDY By John Fowles? If so, I'm afraid I haven't received it yet, I haven't been over there for a while, but thankyou in advance, Magus, very kind of you!
Michael Roger... do you have a question for Roddy?
Magus Do you like to read much? It seems that many on line here have loved that book.
RODDY I like Richard Ford, the American writer
Magus What books of his?
RODDY I read the Magus when I was younger but it seems like it could warrant a re-read!
Magus Definitely.. Because what might not be, IS.
RODDY Independence Day and The Sportswriter...
............................ modster left.............
Roger Hello Roddy, first of all I have to say the show I saw @ the Metro in Chicago (june 93) on the Guitar & Piano tour was one of the most memorable shows I've seen.
Magus Thanks, Roddy, I could chat for days but that wouldn't be fair. Take care...
Roger As for the question, everyone has been wondering about the singles for The North Star.. Will there ever be another release? The North Star-cancelled, Sister Shadow-cancelled...but someone just mentioned that they found a single for Bigger Brighter Better...any news?
RODDY Thanks Roger! I always enjoyed the Metro, it's a great place to play. My kinda town...
Michael ... Chicago is.
Magus Is Smart Bar still around at the Metro?
RODDY Well Independi-wenti! So no more singles!
InertialDamping awwww.*cry*
lev je suis desole
jorge sob, sob
Roger Sorry to hear it, I guess I should wait but another question regarding current releases would be... The WB 'greatest' CD, what would you like to see on it?
RODDY Thankyou! I don't remember feeling too smart in the bars around the Metro, but I couldn't tell you, Magus
Steven Independiente went out of business?
Michael Smart Bar was still open a year ago. Don't know about now. It probably is.
InertialDamping so,where does that leave you roddy?
Magus Your'e very clever, Mr. Frame. Smart Bar doesn't imply use of intelligence. But Sunday night used to have 25 cent drinks...
jorge Who's turn is it?
lev We rest our case
RODDY I can't physically type them all ! But I think the singles, Jump a few rare-type things. Whatever people really want, I suppose.
Michael Serene would be up next...
Serene good
Serene my question is: are you into eastern philosophy, meditation and stuff? and how do you feel about singing stuff you worte eons ago
Michael Did you see on the Guestbook that someone from WEA requested feedback about the upcoming Best Of? I have a feeling he got bombarded with e-mail.
lev we did our best ;-}
RODDY Yeah, good to see they're into it!
jorge we most certainly did...:)
