I have hopes for tomorrow. Will let you know. Have you tried an e bow on a fretless or any other kind of bass? Have been experimenting trying to get a cello sound. It's a bit unsatisfactory though thus far.

It's a bit unsatisfactory though thus far. e-bowing a bass [well a cheap as chips one] doesn't really work, i think the strings are too thick to get a good wobble on and because it doesn't sit on the the strings properly you have to aim it carefully, you can get a nice deep drone but anything else is beyond my limited capabilities. This is speaking as a complete bedroom player, but even I can get some reasonable results from a guitar but v.little on a bass

Hasn't someone made a "bassbow" for this purpose yet? Seems like an obvious thing to invent. Unless it just doesn't work due to physics, i.e. big thick bass strings (too much mass for any ebow?) How do those things work exactly anyway? I always assumed there was magnets in there, but don't really know.

Going to see The Phantom Band in Manchester in March and then again at the FOMFEST in May. Never managed to catch them before so really excited as The Wants is definitely one of my most favourite albums ever! Love it. :o)

my main one of the week is Pat Kilroy Light Of Day utterly sublime mostly acoustic folk/raga/blues whatever lp from '66 recorded on both sides of a hitchiking expedition around Europe with Suzan Graubard who plays various things on this record. I have the Collector's Choice edition which again seems pretty quiet on first listen, I think their No Other is considerably quieter than the longer alternative too. But since the alternative is Radioactive's alter ego Fallout I think this is the one to go for. Looking forward to getting The New Age cd which I ordered from Rd records. That label seems to have quite a lot of great stuff on it. Stone angel s/t lovely '75 semi acoustic folk lp which really is a must have for anybody into the Brit/acid/wyrd stuff. Why I only just got it I'm not sure, been meaning to for a while. Maybe it was reading the 2 folk books towards the end of last year Rob Young & Jeanette Leech. Oho Okinawa Really weird, frequently scatological psych-prog or prog-psych from '74 Baltimore. Now twice its original released length in the Rockadrome Vintage edition. Got some great guitar and drums amongst other stuff. Might investigate the later spinoff bands on the sttrength of this and what I heard on their site. Elvis Presley Sun Sessions which came on a cheap set of his 1st3 lps on digipack cd. Great stuff, was wondering was it this that Dylan referred to as 'the wild mercury sound' since I think it was something he himself referred to. It was then used to reference his Nashville recorded mid 60s material. Anyway, even if this isn't as beefy as some other stuff being recorded in the same studio around the same time it is rightly iconic. Sabbath Assembly Like this, certainly wasn't what I initially thought it was going to be. Far more sensual than the doomy metal I assumed. Jex Thoth's voice is lovely. The music can verge on the loungey then be interrupted by psychy guitar solos. Must read the book that inspired it. dvd finally watched the Sonic Youth Italy '83 dvd I grabbed soon after getting back a month back. band still had short hair & Bob Bert. Rocked anyway though, not surprising with Bert whose later projects seem to have primitive r'n'r meets avant in common. I first saw the band a couple of weeks after this, they got a really short set before most people including the press arrived, got annoyed blew up a bass amp. Very memorable gig. I later found out that a later friend helped build Danielle Dax's stage within a stage which was one reason SY had to go on so early. halfwatched the first episode of Boardwalk Empire, must giove it another go.

Smoke Fairies live @ Exeter Phoenix from a couple of weeks ago Hiss Golden Messenger - Bad Debt. S'ok, but he is far better live - his voice carries and he has a real stage presence ( saw him on Saturday) Michael Hurley - First Songs. Just playing it now and liking it so far PIL - Second Edition. Still does the trick. Pink Floyd - Piper at the Gates of Dawn. Stupendous. Am reading 'A very irregular head' at the moment. Psychedelic Furs - s/t. I don't think they improved on this debut. Hard to really Jeffrey Lewis & Peter Stampfel Folk Band live @ Exeter Phoenix from last month. An awesome recording. One of my favourite ever Bootlegs or ROIO's if you will. Beth Orton - Central Reservation Iggy Pop - The Idiot Nicolette - Let no one live in your head rent free. Has one or two moments but doesn't really stand up for me. Quite like one of the Plaid remixes.

Great opening two tracks – especially Touch Me – though it gets a bit patchy after that. I decided to get the remasters of the doors / strange days / morrison hotel from amazon this week with some birthday money - for £4.99 each they are a reasonable snip as i don't have them on cd (other than best of compilations) and my vinyl versions pretty old and crackly Mine was my pretty flimsy vinyl copy!
