A Mile Long Lump Of Lard (unique 10:45 edit - totally different!) Feely Wheely (7:25 - UNRELEASED) THIS COPY WAS GIVEN TO ME BY THE ORB, IN RETURN FOR A FAVOUR I DID FOR THEM (I PUT TOGETHER A POSSIBLE TRACKLISTING FOR "AUNTIE AUBREY THREE"), AND THE COVERS HAVE BEEN ANNOTATED WITH COMMENTS BY THE BAND - SEE SCAN (SORRY FOR THE LOW-RES IMAGE, BUT I DON'T WANT TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO MAKE THEIR OWN!). I AM ONLY SELLING THIS SUPERB ITEM, AS I HAVE A KIDDIE ON THE WAY AND NEED TO RAISE SOME MONEY! ** THIS IS AN ITEM THAT I CAN ALMOST GUARANTEE YOU WILL NOT SEE AGAIN, SO BID NOW AND GET YOURSELF A UNIQUE PIECE OF ORB HISTORY. ** ---------------------------------------- My Inbox is protected by SPAMfighter 763 spam mails have been blocked so far.

'ello folks - i'm not trying to push this again, but i can't believe that NOBODY responded to this bit of information:
THIS COPY WAS GIVEN TO ME BY THE ORB, IN RETURN FOR A FAVOUR I DID FOR THEM (I PUT TOGETHER A POSSIBLE TRACKLISTING FOR "AUNTIE AUBREY THREE")
...as i would have thought it would get *some* reaction! ;-) i actually put together a version on MD for them, and still have the tracklisting somewhere... ...if anyone's interested. cheers, --- Smiley ---------------------------------------- My Inbox is protected by SPAMfighter 795 spam mails have been blocked so far.

I think people were too busy rushing over to eBay to bid on your item than read your note carefully. I'll bite - what was the tracklisting? They obviously liked it - is there an AA3 in the cards, then?

i'd rather not know about it. until i know it's actually going to be released. so i'd rather not get my hopes up. plus, i'm sure you made a copy for yourself, before giving up the Cydonia discs. so it's not like you're really missing anything. the whole thing is kind of irritating. the only time you post anything is news. no opinions. it's like a you're "holier than thou" for this list. anyway, just me 2 bits. not that i hate you or am jealous. it's just that that is the way you come acoss to me on this list. -r --- Smiley <smileyweb@yahoo.co.uk> wrote:

the whole thing is kind of irritating. the only time you post anything is news.
of which there would be none, if it wasn't for Smiley.
you're "holier than thou" for this list.
funny, i've always found him to be a pleasant and extremely generous fellow. Smiley, perhaps you'd like to voice your opinion on this subject, then? ;-) i'm not sure when it became mandatory to voice an opinion on anything... its an open list, to discuss anything you'd like (and sometimes it even winds up being orb related) we could go back to slagging off Thrash, or watching people get slagged off by him, but frankly, i'd be happier to have some unopinionated facts about the orb instead.
you're giving smiley shit because he doesn't give opinions, but only news? hmmm, if you have any news about the orb let us know. but for the past 6 years or so that i've been on this list i've always been happy to hear from smiley. esp since he's usually the only person that knows what the hell is going on with the orb or can fill us in with information. just my 3 cents. c --- Rene Rojas <compania23@yahoo.com> wrote:

i was seriously razzing him because of him mentioning personal favours for the band. i threw in the news bit cos it would be cool to read his opinion on what others say. -r --- clint boucher <clint_boucher@yahoo.com> wrote:

i was seriously razzing him because of him mentioning personal favours for the band.
i'm selling something on eBay. there are cr*ploads of bootlegs around, so i wanted to put something in that gave the item some "provenance". if that makes me a bad person, then so be it. i'll live.
i threw in the news bit cos it would be cool to read his opinion on what others say.
firstly, as already mentioned - why should anyone care what i think? secondly, you accuse me of being "holier than thou" and then complain that i don't comment on EVERYTHING! am i the only one that can see the inherent contradiction between these two points?
this was given to him by the band for goodness sake. i'd rather him keep it and i'd donate him some funds for the info he provides. hell i'd paypal the money to him tonight! i'd also rather him keep it than go to someone that might not be a big a fan as he was with a large wad of money.
i'm trying to imagine the responses i would have had to a "hey, i need some money, so give it to me now please!" message.
things shouldn't always be about the money.
i've been helping people on this list (and many others) find records/cd for ten years. if it was about the money, i could have ripped them all off. i didn't, as it was NEVER about the money. it's always been about helping people like me out - and more often than not, they helped me out if i needed a favour at a later date. however, my wife is expecting our first child, and THEY are my first priority. i have an item sitting untouched on my shelves that i can sell, and use the money for the imminent arrival. if people think that i have my priorities wrong, fair enough. some things are more important. the end. i hope. cheers, --- Smiley ---------------------------------------- My Inbox is protected by SPAMfighter 803 spam mails have been blocked so far.

Cheers to you and yours (current and forthcoming!), Smiley, and good fortune to you with your auction!!!! =) =) =) seek np: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4025339447
plus, i'm sure you made a copy for yourself, before giving up the Cydonia discs. so it's not like you're really missing anything.
However backup cdr copies have no value and originals do.
the whole thing is kind of irritating. the only time you post anything is news. no opinions. it's like a you're "holier than thou" for this list.
Without Smiley we would have no insight into what was going on with the band. He has been the nicest most helpful chap on this list (though others are cool too). The last thing we need on this list are more ranting raving lunatics voicing their opinions in a combative impolite style. jon

value is not the point i was trying to make.

we'd have it. just probably not as quickly or fine detail. give the band some credit. they are revamping their site. they don't have to really have one. or do they? :) He has been the nicest most helpful
chap on this list (though others are cool too).
he does come across that way to me most of the time. personally, i don't know him. i've really nothing against him. but looking from the outside in, i get rubbed the wrong way at times. is that terrible? no. e-mail etiquette can be a hard thing to interpret, especially when you don't know someone that well. i've held my tongue. or fingers i should say. there are many listees here that have fab Orb stories i'm sure. i know i have some great memories. but i don't go mentioning them here. i don't want to come off as some pompous wanker.

agreed! :) (i could have been much worse) ;)

Then what point were you trying to make? Re-reading your original statement I can find no other way to take it.
we'd have it. just probably not as quickly or fine detail. give the band some credit. they are revamping their site. they don't have to really have one. or do they? :)
No we would not.. The Orb has never posted to this list, and everything you read or here in the news/web is standard fair, not internal workings or answers to tricky questions.
i know i have some great memories. but i don't go mentioning them here. i don't want to come off as some pompous wanker.
Too late... If you can't be sure how to interpret someones email then why make a negative statement? If you were confused you could have taken it positively, especially since sentiment towards Smiley runs favorable on this list, you could take your confusion and trust other list members opinion and decide to take it positively.. But you took him negatively... which shows not confusion but just bad judgement.
agreed! :) (i could have been much worse) ;)
Considering the worthless crap we see on this list 90% of the time...

that it is being sold. and they method that it is. this was given to him by the band for goodness sake. i'd rather him keep it and i'd donate him some funds for the info he provides. hell i'd paypal the money to him tonight! i'd also rather him keep it than go to someone that might not be a big a fan as he was with a large wad of money. things shouldn't always be about the money.

even on their own website? true about other sites. but interviews are still fun to read. i know they don't post here.

Well, I can say with Smiley it is definitely not about the money, at least in my many many dealings with him. However in this case he needs money, and he has something of value he can sell for it. I for one don't want to see him in a dress selling his as on the street... so selling a cd it is.
even on their own website? true about other sites. but interviews are still fun to read. i know they don't post here.
Are you serious? When was the last time that something useful was on the orb website.... I know that for at least 6 years it was worthless... it was a bit better in the last 6 monthes... but there were plenty of releases and such that were not on the orb site during the previous 6 years.
and yet you, just like the rest of us are all still here.
Actually since I have Smiley and Nick Kings email addresses, I think daily that I would not miss this list.... luckily I have a delete key. jon
uh oh, you've woken me up now...
plus, i'm sure you made a copy for yourself, before giving up the Cydonia discs. so it's not like you're really missing anything.
well of course i have! who wouldn't? i maybe be many things, but i'm not a MORON.
the whole thing is kind of irritating. the only time you post anything is news. no opinions. it's like a you're "holier than thou" for this list.
opinions are like arseholes. everybody has one. most of the time, there's nothing *to* comment on here. when there is, or there's a question i can answer, i do... ...but most of the time, why should anyone care what i think of a particular remix? BORING. getting back to your main point - a three part *critical* review of B&T doesn't count then? i believe i was one of the first to point out how crap "gee strings" was! ;-) ...and reviews of the orb shows in brighton and london don't count either, i presume? eh? oh. and if you can tell me how to express an "opinion" on live/dj dates, that would be great, as i don't see how one can critically comment on a list of time and places. i post these bits of news on the STUPID assumption that orb fans want to know where/when they will be appearing. i feel like such a fool.
not that i hate you or am jealous. it's just that that is the way you come acoss to me on this list.
fair enough. you may be right. others have said that you come across as an ungrateful wanker/f*cknut. i, of course, could not possibly comment - as i have no opinions. toodle pip. --- Smiley ---------------------------------------- My Inbox is protected by SPAMfighter 803 spam mails have been blocked so far.
