I'll be there next week) : ) what was so unprofessional? it was a TV taping, ready for edit! yeah, he was weird stuart seemed to put him in his place though. sarcasm at work. he did a spoken word thing with a band called Mount Vernon Arts Lab the other night who did? stuart d? but i didn't like it all that much peter easton the radio man ahh... so any glaswegian recommendations? stuart d's spoken word thing was brilliant at the art school? a band called the underground apes i saw them last friday and they rocked in glasgow? yes, stu was at the art school yes, in glasgow * Swannie12 grins at the 13th note when i was in new york for the first time it was very exciting and scary. for you as well? sezah? * Swannie12 makes a note to look for them q: any chance of an australian tour?? not so scary because i'd been a couple of times before looking for sonic youth did you find them? and do you like the 'new scottish school of writing' thingie? an australian tour would be fun but so far mm, yes aussie tour sounds good! nothing planned yes katrina! will keep a look out! never found most of them Q : Sarah : if you were a faerie, what would you call yourself? but i saw thurston at a japanese punk gig sarah, probably i see i don't know what other people would call me bumph? what? sorry bumph is ben, he has a question :) what? my question was answered I'll ask another though oh ok sus stuart Murdoch: are you happy most of the time? are you happy now? or sad? yeah, you can bump me off as well, honey! thanks! and what pissess you off most in the world? stuart says 'aye' * honey giggles oh thats good a man of many words I love it when they say 'Aye' makes me go all funny candy? Who are your fave american bands? Stuart? Hello Susannah... it's Stuart, I'm a bit confused susannah - chinwag hello I hope you thought the chat thing went ok what pisses you off most in the world? We're quite novices at this game you did ok yeah, you are most polite, unlike some members of your band stuart it went fine - bit sticky but it will get better the 26th time you do it It's hard to say what pisses you off is it over now or waht? * Swannie12 giggles intolerance and arrogance Answer me question first! You're just going along and then a little thing will make you strike out at a door and hurt your foot stuart m: I sincerely hope your band does well I hate arrogance though fave american bands?....Stave says The Beatles! and pretentiousness , and not having time for people HA i have a good question! Well those things are not nice in anyone, not just musicians obviously as oposed to my others how did you all enjoy playing with the magnetic fields in spain? and are you fans of the band? my only comment on all this is that people come across strangely on chat sometimes yeah, but its easy to go down that route of arrogance, with people saying your a genius and stuff on both sides ive seen it a hundred times They were very nice and polite, but it was a fraught experience because there was no p.a. when we turned up ..I'm not implying that you are arrogant there btw So i don't think we put ourselves across very well well, i heard claudia loves you guys and was at the show in new york (Claudia is the drummer and keyboardist) Perhaps i is Susannah, but we try not to listen too much, and I think the idea of ...interviews is arrogance in itself This is one step up from a wee chat though So it's not so bad well, I can say that you come across well, however your bassist not so well ;-) can i ask if you thought this was worthwhile? we're not usually this bad... Who is koogy? we're usually much worse yeah :) koogy is andy dean! koogy is Andrew Dean, a hero of B&S information on the Internet I thought this wothwhile, Sarah thinks it's ok aah... good - would you do this again? the stalker... i think it went quite well! maybe ok You guys rock! quite slow, difficult also rawk matt andy set up the first big site, he's really the person that started all this technology stuff for us, and is considered a hero a little enthusiastic perhaps ok im going to open up the room but please can everyone stay very slow Andy is THE MAN * Swannie12 crowns koogy internet king he's certainly *my* hero no honey *** Mode change "-m " on channel #JeepsterRecords by honey We're just going to go if that's ok *** Mode change "+m " on channel #JeepsterRecords by honey oh ok yeah no probs * op-koogy is blushing Stuart: is Chris turning up please?
