The Mares Nest

Derp !

Great word! Perhaps it could be word of the week!

Yes I was being funny (or trying to)... The original line up will always be the best (IMO) and I always wondered how Dominic Luckman (for example) could ever be 'replaced' as the music is so complex and they were so tight live... but there are always musician fans that aim to learn exactly what thei...

Believe me - I am certainly a buyer when the right thing comes along... not just a seller. (Dat's why I sometimes have fings to sell - 'cos I bought dem).

Who cares? I'm not really interested in other peoples buying history... If they won the item fair and square and paid for it... To be fair - BSI did stop bidding when I e-mailed him and there's no reason why he should in all honesty - He has as much right to bid on items as anyone else has. OK I don...

I've loved The Soft Boys & subsequently Robyn Hitchcock for about the last 20 years or so... 'Love From London' his latest is well worth getting hold of if you like his Egyptians era... 'Fegmania!' 'Element Of Light' 'Globe of Frogs' etc... Some of 'Nextdoorland' & 'Side Three' with the refo...

Anyone here heard of a Hungarian band called 'Masfel'? Pn. Mash-Fail. Meaning in English; 'One & A Half' Originally they were an instrumental band and some of their early stuff has a bit of a Cardiacs vibe to it... Check out the live vid to Thread Cutter to see what I mean... Not so keen on thei...

The most Cardiacsy band I've come across are Major Parkinson. But they are unique as well and full of good chooooons. It's just that they give me the same vibe as Cardiacs. Short songs chock-full of quality shit 'n that. http://majorparkinson.bandcamp.com/ Thanks for the recommendation... I downloa...

Managed to get hold of Both albums on 'tinternet... On the strength or recommendations and a quick listen to one or 2 bits of tracks to get the vibe... http://majorparkinson.bandcamp.com The first, and best... only available to download - best tracks 'Bicycle!' & 'Meat Me In The Disco' (IMO) The...

Looks like BSI isn't bidding up on the items I listed on e-bay - Maybe he has read my message and decided to let others get a chance.. Someone else got the Big Flower Poster... He may end up getting the other things though if no one bids against him...

Oh yeah and Tim Q! Oops! - The line up on the Big Ship Cover...

For me the 'classic' line-up is the one including Dominic Luckman, William D Drake & Sarah Smith... I don't think it was ever the same without them as full time members... The sum of the parts greater than the whole and all that... IMO opinion I would say that Tim Smith is/was the most important...

Why didn't the edited quote go into a nice grey box? One day I'll work out how this thing works!

Sounds like you're in your car heading in his direction.... What ya gonna do? Raid his basement?!! Watch out! Those Power tools can be Dangerous!

And another thing... Downloads can make money and don't cost ANYTHING to produce... Once they are hosted somewhere - you pay your money, download the file - burn to your own disc and print out your own cover at no cost to the artist... I prefer an actual REAL item though personally in Wav format... ...

Soooo frustrating to think that Cardiacs legacy is possibly rotting in a damp shed somewhere though when it could be exploited to make money for those that need it - Tim especially... The fact that the few existing items that appear for sale are going for higher and higher prices is fine if you can ...
