    Was just talking to Adam Buxton about this. He wrote a pastiche of half a world away for the Adam and joe show Star Wars figure version of The Royle Family.

    Hello Mumstheword8. Welcome to the messageboard. 60’s seem to be the new 40’s by the looks of it. I don’t know if I’ll ever be an early riser. I mostly write at night when the airwaves are not clogged. Anyways welcome welcome welcome

    in reply to: What’s your fav dessert🍰 #2446
    Fran

    There is a very simple dessert which is from a restaurant in London called The Ivy. It’s very simple. Get some white chocolate (4 bars) and melt it in a Pyrex bowl over a pan of boiling water, add double (whipping cream) put a good fistful of frozen berries into a wide bowl. Pour the hot sauce over.

    The cover of Hijera by Joni is one that always floats to the top of my memory. It looks like a double exposure. The cover of 12 Memories are 4 double exposures. For anyone who doesn’t know what that is, it’s when the photographer takes a photograph, remembers where the subject is in the composition, rolls the film back into the spool, carries on until they see an image they think will fit within the first one, then reloads the roll of film, winds it to the location of the first phot and then takes the second image on top of the first. In the case of 12 Memories, Anton took the portrait of me, took maybe 11, then rolled the film back and took the second shot over the top of the portrait. He would only know if it worked in the dark room as he was using a Hasselblad.

    Hey The Fan Who. Unfortunately we couldn’t reschedule the show so it will have to be the next US tour. I can count on one hand the times we have had to cancel a show. Sorry you travelled so far for nothing. It’s a massive pain in the arse for all concerned. We were assured ticket holders would be reimbursed. Did that happen?

    Yes. Snow Patrol supported I think. Is that correct?

    That was the night someone threw their knickers on the stage. The one and only time that’s happened haha… Yeah the guy was trying to hawk it in the horseshoe bar for £150. So glad I got it back. I was playing it a couple of days ago.

    Hey Jecpeg46. Please say thanks to your dad for brainwashing you early :))) We DEF will be coming to Glasgow when we next hit the road and you will DEF hear about it first here on the board. I have been to a lot of shows with my son, the last being Belle and Sebastian twice last week in LA. They played their first 2 albums and a bunch of other songs. I love meeting dads and mums with their kids at shows. See you hopefully at the next one in Scotland. X

    Hey Elizabeth, Santa Monica has changed a fair bit since 99. I live in Venice. The Philly show was frustrating. We did our soundcheck that day and then the fire department shut us down because of some big fire nearby. We were bummed out too. Cheetos, peanut M&Ms and Chardonnay and music sounds like an appropriate substitute. Are your songs on Apple Music? I’m writing just now so not listening to much music but if I get the chance I will check it out.
