Thu. 5/28/09 4:39pm From: RichardRidden

diggin this so far...

Thu. 5/28/09 4:39pm From: Cecile

nice, can't wait to hear that Bats set.

Thu. 5/28/09 4:41pm From: Rob W

Reminds me of the time Katie and I had to evacuate Portugal because we neglected to realize that the European Cup Finals were coming to town! Couldn't get a hotel room after that. And it was a fun cultural experience watching the first match at a local cafe, etc. Actually the Portuguese were very cool, drinking wine and small glasses of beer as usual, but then the German and British fans arrived for the tournament and all of a sudden these giant beer steins emerged that we didn't even know existed in Portugal! And banners went up on historic statues and things like that, and things did indeed get rowdy, although since we had to leave we missed the real fireworks...

Thu. 5/28/09 4:41pm From: Bradford Eugene LaBonte

Sounding great!

Thu. 5/28/09 4:42pm From: Cecile

Holy crap, Rob, that sounds crazy.

Thu. 5/28/09 4:43pm From: Laurie

The 128k mp3 stream just burped, like, 12 times. It's fine now...

Thu. 5/28/09 4:44pm From: Liz B.

Thanks for the heads-up on the dropouts, our internets are iffy over here in Barca. We asked for 2 things: power and internet, but both are kinda shaky.

Thu. 5/28/09 4:47pm From: PMD

I think it all must have burped. I'm on Widows Media Player and it did that too. But all is well now.

Thu. 5/28/09 4:48pm From: Laurie

Liz, I would have asked for at least three things. Power, internet, and uppers.

Thu. 5/28/09 4:49pm From: G

Burpage was on realaudio too, fwiw -- multiple two or three second squeally stalls

Thu. 5/28/09 4:52pm From: PMD

Or power, internet, and nose clips.

Thu. 5/28/09 4:53pm From: Ken

Yeah, it's gonna keep burping in all formats unfortunately. The Vodaphone 3G card we're using is really crappy. Im amazed it's working at all.

Thu. 5/28/09 4:54pm From: Laurie

Or disco dust. You know, numb up the nose, stay up all night so you can see all the bands! Right??

Kidding!

Thu. 5/28/09 4:55pm From: DBinNYC

rumor has it the pollution in Barcelona and Madrid is made up of trace amounts of marching powder...

Thu. 5/28/09 4:56pm From: Ken

I dont smell any crack in the air. I dont even smell weed. All I smell is fucking sewage.

Thu. 5/28/09 4:56pm From: Cecile

Vodaphone should put some more money into research instead of those excellent ads that keep winning prizes.

Thu. 5/28/09 4:57pm From: Cecile

Is weed legal in Spain?


No reason.

Thu. 5/28/09 4:58pm From: chris

even with the burps the quality is - no wooshing sounds at all

Thu. 5/28/09 4:59pm From: GP

32K Stream has been fine..no drops....bring me back a t-shirt Liz...please.

Thu. 5/28/09 4:59pm From: chris

...the quality is great...

Thu. 5/28/09 5:00pm From: PMD

Karma just hit Ken.

Thu. 5/28/09 5:01pm From: Cecile

does spectrum play only covers?

Thu. 5/28/09 5:02pm From: Sewage Scent

We build up your immune system, and as a free bonus remind you of one of your peak life experiences, colonoscopy prep, You're very welcome.

Thu. 5/28/09 5:02pm From: Spanish Galleon

so then this ISN'T Spacemen 3?

Thu. 5/28/09 5:03pm From: sj

I agree with Chris: it really does sound fantastic.

Thu. 5/28/09 5:03pm From: nasok

oh i hope this all gets archived...

Thu. 5/28/09 5:04pm From: ovid

cecile - no they dont...but i think they enjoy doing um - or they are being a bit lazy

Thu. 5/28/09 5:05pm From: ovid

spectrum is essentially 1/2of spaceman 3

Thu. 5/28/09 5:05pm From: Cecile

gotcha.

Thu. 5/28/09 5:08pm From: Spanish Galleon

ah, thanx Ovid

Thu. 5/28/09 5:08pm From: ovid

spaceman 3 used to do a lot of covers too

Thu. 5/28/09 5:10pm From: Derrick

Drop outs are becoming more frequent. :(

Thu. 5/28/09 5:11pm From: chris

it seems the burps are happening more at the beginning of the songs

Thu. 5/28/09 5:12pm From: Laurie

So can anyone identify the songs they've played so far? I gather the first was a Stereolab cover...

Thu. 5/28/09 5:13pm From: ovid

the 2nd was transparent radiation (spa 3)

Thu. 5/28/09 5:13pm From: Cecile

they did Transparent Radiation by the Red Krayola

Thu. 5/28/09 5:13pm From: Kramerog

"When Tomorrow Hits It will Hit You Hard" is a cover of Mudhoney covered by Spacemen 3.

Thu. 5/28/09 5:14pm From: ovid

Thu. 5/28/09 5:14pm From: Cecile

And that last song had a quote from the MC5's "Kick out the Jams"

Thu. 5/28/09 5:15pm From: ovid

the mudhoney song was when tomorrow hits

Thu. 5/28/09 5:15pm From: Cecile

Thu. 5/28/09 5:16pm From: Cecile

Heh, I thought it was going to be War Sucks!

Thu. 5/28/09 5:17pm From: ovid

Thu. 5/28/09 5:17pm From: Laurie

Their new single is also a cover.

Thu. 5/28/09 5:19pm From: Cecile

A good song is a good song.

Thu. 5/28/09 5:19pm From: ovid

Thu. 5/28/09 5:29pm From: channeling andy

O for the love of chronic.

Thu. 5/28/09 5:29pm From: ovid

im almost scared to tune into 7sd this wed with andy and frangry - but fear never stopped me from listening before

Thu. 5/28/09 5:30pm From: Hmm...

Fear? or Rubbernecking?

Thu. 5/28/09 5:32pm From: ovid

fear makes me turn away but then i need tbberneck - i cant help it

Thu. 5/28/09 5:33pm From: welcoming committee

Welcome to the human race, Ovid.

I loved your Ars Amatoria, BTW. Very dirty.

Thu. 5/28/09 5:34pm From: Cecile

I'll bet andy and frangry don't do 7sd next Wednesday.
I'll bet he's jerking our chain.

Thu. 5/28/09 5:35pm From: Derrick

Wonderful set, thanks so much.

Thu. 5/28/09 5:36pm From: Not That Bright

Thu. 5/28/09 5:39pm From: PMD

Yeah, that made me laugh too...

Thu. 5/28/09 5:39pm From: Not That Bright

Thu. 5/28/09 6:21pm From: AnAnonymousParty

Check the ratings on your laptop P/S, most of them are switchers and autorange from 120/240, you may only need a connector adapter.

Thu. 5/28/09 6:21pm From: Woodstock Guy

Tell them not to eat the brown acid for godsakes.

Thu. 5/28/09 6:25pm From: Ken

Yeah, the problem is actually that our European power strip only had three outlets on it so we ran one through a converter to a larger US poweer strip.. that, plus the fact that we're fucking pathetic.

Thu. 5/28/09 6:29pm From: Janet H

you can't be that pathetic because i'm still here.

Thu. 5/28/09 6:30pm From: "Pete Gabriel"
