A nice game of Plomley.

Exhibit A: Live recording of a sack of hammers being hoofed down a stone staircase. Repeatedly.

Exhibit B: Remix. Play loud.

Download Fruityloops. Fiddle about.

Having lots of mad techno records to thieve ideas from helps.

(But what tends to happen is that I'll try to replicate a sound or a groove, fail dismally, and produce something odd instead.)

Attest to cognition!

I'm not sure if it's just because it's by you, but the drum and bleep sound on the remix was so early '80s bedroom "dance." Do you know the stuff I mean?

[solipsistnation.livejournal.com]

You are my new hero.

[hirez.livejournal.com]

You're too kind.

Feel free to 'remix' (ie - hack about in a defiantly Not Musical manner) the hammer-pitching yourself. I'd like people to do that.

[solipsistnation.livejournal.com]

Ooh.

Reason calls.

[lee-chaos.livejournal.com]

I'll have me some of that action...

Doubtful I'll have it sorted before you arrive (eta?), but who knows?

I'll then be moving on to remixing Xmas 'standards' in a nosebleed gabba style for my Xmas Judder...

"Chriiistmas time BOOMTSCHGRONKAAARGHMOTHERFUCKERRRRR, misletoe and wine DOOFDOOFDOOFDOOFSCRWEEEEEE[whitenoise][pinknoise]AAAAARGHHHH...."

Taken from the album - Bag of spanners and a cricketbat.

I'd dance to it, but then I'd dance to pretty much anything. Wanna sample me torturing mokume through a roller? I does some lovely top-notes.

Hm... I think I have the LP cover (http://www.libeljournal.com/album/Random/tn/BeatSurgery.jpg.html)...

More samples? Yes. Bung it on a C-90, lo-fi as you like.

Or record it with PC. Whatever.

For that extra distortion...

Why don't I just hold the phone up to it and call you. Let your Nokia do the clever stuff?

Clifford, darling, you were right about the past, actually.

Now you need a singer with a face like a bag of spanners to do the vocals.

I love it when a plan comes together.

Next, throwing a box of reamers down an escalator.

"Music to de-comission powerstations to" by Deafbloke. A tribute album.

[hirez.livejournal.com]

I think this comes squarely under the heading of 'Getting the fuck on and doing it.' (before you realise you're halfway up a metaphorical building sans safety-net...)

Is there perhaps an escalator where we could lob the reamers right into the works?

Or maybe just go direct to 'Surfing a scrapyard avalanche'?

The best bit is in the original, about half way through there's a Hirez wheezy sounding laugh. I imagine you were having trouble keeping quiet and not bursting into loud laughter :)

[sarah-mum.livejournal.com]

Teh Mutley impression you mean? Yes, I rather liked that too.

[hirez.livejournal.com]

Absolutely.

There's little point in doing anything silly if you're not going to have fun with it.

[enthusiastic applause]

Thank you for brightening my morning.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_wires/]

Downloading now. If I like it, do I have your permission to play it at Judder this evening? :)

[hirez.livejournal.com]

Absolutely.

I will, of course, be horrified if anyone manages to shake their booty to it. But pleased at the same time.

[the-siobhan.livejournal.com]

That. Is. Hysterical.

[hirez.livejournal.com]

Ta. Just doing my bit to wind up the po-faced.

Remarkable!
