poor and pissed?
by Felix Atagong 07 Nov '02

The conversation of LX about the end of Badorb, especially his remark about the piss-poor management, made me wonder? I always thought it was LX's company so talking about bad management would be accusing himself as a matter of fact. So I had a look at an UK government website to find more info about Badorb. Here is what I found: Name & Registered Office : BADORB LIMITED 112 JERMYN STREET LONDON SW1Y 6LS Status :Active Company No. :03897410 Date of Incorporation : 21/12/1999 Country of Origin : United Kingdom Company Type: Private Limited Company Nature Of Business (SIC(92)): 9234 - other entertainment activities Accounting Reference Date : 31/12 Last Accounts Made Up To : 31/12/2001 (TOTAL EXEMPTION FULL) Next Accounts Due : 31/10/2003 Last Return Made Up To : 21/12/2001 Next Return Due : 18/01/2003 Last Members List : 21/12/2001 Previous Names Date of Change : Previous Name : 24/03/2000 RULETRADE LIMITED Branch Details: There are no branches associated with this company. Oversea Company Information: There are no Oversea Details associated with this company. To have more info (turnover, directors, etc...) I had to pay, so I left the site. But from what I found this means that Badorb was just a new name for an already existing company called Ruletrade. I couldn't find anything on them on the net, so my question is: does anybody of you know them? Was LX also involved in this? Just curious. Felix

> The frogs are the best band in the universe.. > Who was it who said they saw em out the other night? Erm that was me, here in Milwaukee. And I didn't see "them" per se, just their former bassist Damian, dressed up as Herman Munster on Halloween (he's like 7 feet tall, so this was a super-effective costume, probably the best I saw this year). Here's a quick little overview for the uninitiated: http://www.hipsurgerymusic.com/Frogs/ JG

Nibiru - How to make great handfulls of lovely dosh!!
by Bbbrooo＠aol.com 07 Nov '02

07 Nov '02

For my 2 cents worth I suggest a broad strategy encompasing: demos to college & alternative radio, a dramatic publicity stunt or two, etc, but most importantly: A)Prepare a stock of your CD's, albums, Nibiru porno excercise videos, signed lucky groupy underwear collection, etc, etc, whatever, B) Create a user friendly website such as:(http://www.liquidsounddesign.com/). Ensure you have encrypted credit card purchase. Note: only allow an easy access demo of your sounds (MP3 on realplayer) not quite the complete track. Website:ensure you have used as many related Meta names (including misspelled ones), plus add a page of links to high volume web sites, this should raise you up the list in engines such as google. B) Hire an organised office manager, eg, an obsessed girlfriend that doesn't get stoned all day long, C) Take one of your products and customise it, eg: sign it, or make a CDR of outakes or remixes. Sell this on E-BAY. Again make sure that in the main description you put as many catch words as possible "Thrash", "ex - the orb", "ex - Alex patersons friend", etc, and any other band names you have done remixes for, this will lead many different e-bay buyers to it in a search. In the general product description you list and link to YOUR WEBSITE, therby promoting your other products and goodies. Repeat this on a regular basis, or as the handfulls of cash diminish. You might also add your product to e-bay Canada (www.ebay.ca) and many of the other such sites, eg: http://www.alternativemusic.com/ etc, etc good luck, bill (bbroo) P.S. If this makes you any money please send a percentage donation to Dr. Alex paterson (address provided upon request), Ref: "imax@theorb promotion company/bbbrooo(a)hotmail.com". Preferable before 4th Dec 2002, and bring lots of skunk and shrooooms to www.outbackeclipsefestival.com

Or are ppl on the list busy putting all this into scrap books? I'm from the US and this is probably the noisiest I've ever been on the Orb list. Finally people have stopped asking fifty times a day "Did you get BOB xx?" "Where's my TOG?" and like that. Never a word on the music that was actually on these releases, just bitching about not getting them. I'm glad they folded if just that I don't get a regular digest that is fifteen single line questions about a fucking 12" that didn't ship. Maybe if you people had been complaining to Bad Orb instead of this list they might've gotten their shit together (or quit earlier). But of course we don't get your sense of humor, you git. ;) Institute for Psychic Reform Change your Mind www.psychicreform.com
