Wevie Stonder/Skam
by Matt Schleffer 18 Mar '04

I said I would never speak of him again but this article shows the chicken sample has been done... sorry Thrash and fake LX, gonna hafta find another 'pitch.' In the beginning when horses were the size of rabbits, Wevie Stonder began their quest into the unchartered depths.. A first recording in 1979 (capturing the telephone conversations of a group of chickens), led Itchy Genius and M.C. Hat to begin the crusade. By July 1993 they were armed with an Amstrad 3 track studio 100, Johnny Guitar and a Casio pt82, resulting in a failed attempt to record a cover version of Stevie Wonders I just called to say I love you and marking the birth of Wevie Stonder. After sending Henry Music the results of that summer of 93 on a cassette (for the archives) he promptly joined the cause.. Several years of recording over the same cassette ensued, combined with performances such as Carrot the Dog Opera and an international mail art exhibition The History Of Dogs. It was through these experiences that the group discovered their own true Cack style, and ventured onwards over the following years to produce many varied works. In 1999 Wevie Stonder joined Skam Records an event described by some as the biggest setback ever to have hit the label. The release of their 10 track e.p. Eat Your Own Ears followed: a compendium of styles including Cack, advanced music and dog interviews, receiving world-wide acclaim and several international trophies. A debut gig at Sonar 2000 secured much disbelief & some new fans, more recordings for Skam followed, and a new member, Mr Vast, became a permanent feature & interactive live element. Due to the marvels of modern technology & a relaxing of the mental health sectioning laws, Wevie Stonder now bring their show of freaks to a town near you, hoping one day to have a giant mooncrater named after them. IT sounds SOOOO GAY you gotta hear them... aren't you curious now? On really romantic nights of self, I go salsa dancing with my confusion. - Speed Levitch _________________________________________________________________ All the action. All the drama.

<< Kind of a cross of a darker Boards of Canada with a hint of Tortoise. Pretty organic sounding. The more I listen the more impressed I am becoming. It is definitely growing on me. >> thanks for the recommendation John. there are some sound samples up on Amazon (low quality and pretty darn short), but it does sound interesting. i will keep my eyes open for it...

Hmmmm yah I guess you're right, I'll have to go back to '95 when it officially died just to make sure though? Mmmmmkay? At least I did get the double smiles. Actually I like MRP, and I like Country Music, and especially Blue Grass. As a matter of fact I really want a Banjo, I'm quite keen on them. )) (( c[_] mE gOod Guy ----Original Message Follows---- From: aunty <thrash(a)justablip.co.uk> Reply-To: What were the skies like when you were young?<orb(a)mailman.xmission.com> To: What were the skies like when you were young? <orb(a)mailman.xmission.com> Subject: Re: [Orb] Date: Thu, 18 Mar 2004 12:42:31 +0000 good one !!! :-)) gold schlap (she has stairs leading up to her vadge) (they light up one by one) b&t suck>? nawww youve got the wrong idea what im sayinjg is that the whole concept is FUCKING BORING... its DEAD -- (( )) [_]g h0ld mE plZ www.justacunt.co.uk On 18 Mar 2004, at 06:12, dr lx wrote: >Yeah sample it cunt face, mebbe it will sound better than MRP, or >Goldfrapp, or Schwangel.

I guess we could turn that question around, Kwissy my darling, couldn't we? Why do you care? Do you really love us all that much that you would risk your SOUL for us? -im saying the whole concept died years ago Which concept? Ambient-ish music with samples and the occasional dubby beat? Or do you mean the concept of The Orb in which case B&T may have proved you right? Though as an "artist" or "act" or whatever, they can develop however they please, don't you think? Just because you or I or anyone else doesn't like it won't stop them, will it? -theres nothing fresh and exciting about it anymore Dunno. Haven't you heard anything new that you like that fits into the "genre"? -you cant use a chicken sample anymore Now you've done it! The gauntlet's been thrown! I'm going to record my grandma's chickens this weekend and make a recording out of it! Which reminds me, I should be finished with the accappella version of LFC soon. -you cant use astronauts over floaty music ala lemon jelly I'm with you on this one. I stopped using astronauts years ago. They all sound the same, especially over "ambient" music. Is it still ok to use whale noises? -its dead for chrissake , cant you see that ? So should we all start listening to country and western now? Or should we all commit to silence? Or are you still going on about the Orb? I thought we covered that already you wanker. -i got to cut up an american newsreader Can you explain this? -fuckoff Oooo. You're making me hot! How about you come up to my place, we'll light some candles, put on "Let's Get It On," cover each other in rat blood mixed with olive oil, and take turns playing "Hatian Immigrant in New York Jail" with the plunger? ____________________ www.psychicreform.com ____________________ Rich Folks and Huge Corporations care about YOU!

New Music: Finally!
by Matt Schleffer 17 Mar '04

17 Mar '04

Well, Boulder was great but there is no chance of finding any good electronic music there anymore. I did go to the listee recommended store ( i'm sure its the one, as a bill collector I once phoned it looking for a deadbeat) called Bart's Records and it has the upstairs vinyl shop but the only thing I wanted at all was japanese of course: MASAMI AKITA + RUSSELL HASWELL presents SATANSTORNADE. Has anyone heard this? They recommend turning up your shittiest stereo so that it clips for the best sound, I pussed out in fear of breakage on the airplane (ever see how they throw your suitcase?). Maybe I'm just chickenshit about vinyl but would could resist an album with song names like FEND OFF YOUR MISERABLE GRIEF and TESTICULAR FORTITUDE (EDIT). Has anyone been over to the warp store or blip.com? Holy shite there are many bands I have never heard of and would be surprised if anyone here has. One album I have been scared to buy (since its written for snuff films or bondage kicks) is the singles they have forTHE GARDEN OF THE EARTHLY DELIGHT from our friend MERZBOW / KOUHEI MATSUNAGA. I know merzbow from Maldador only and this list... someone says he has an 80 CD album or something. But the unkown bands there are funny i mean: Who here has heard of Fan Club Orchestra , Pampidoo. PJ Pooterhoots. Hilarious.... I am just desparate for new music since my Plaid kick has sorta run its course. (I think thats the right term) 1 a : having lost hope <a desperate spirit crying for relief> b : giving no ground for hope <the outlook was desperate> cuz if it was disparate:1 : containing or made up of fundamentally different and often incongruous elements anyhow.. on task Somebody take some initiative and recommend something really hot. I ego surfed myself on google and found a link to our recent listee top 10 +... thats a good start but I'm sorta at a standstill, not dowloading, cuz no cable modem at home... I want to buy some godamn porn music IDM funky, high on gasoline fumes shite. Someone recommended the group Adult? I dunno, help! Someone gave me Atmosphere's 'Felt" and Goldfrapp Utopia EP yesterday.. both good. Matty _________________________________________________________________ Fast. Reliable.
