COOL AS FORK

[Guest]

inspiral carpets is one of my favourite groups. their so far out man. directing traffic and she comes in the fall freak me out.

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Inspiral Carpets were the first band I went to see live with my mates (as opposed to my mum!), at Alexandra Palace, June 1991. Supported by The High. Quality.

I have an inspiring carpet. I look at it and it inspires me. Yesterday it inspired me to see how many Barcardi Breezers I could drink in an hour.

[Colin Zeal EFM]

They were on TOTP2 last night - "I Want You" was their worst ever single

[sparrow]

That's a coincidence, I've been listening to Life in the car over the last few days. The first time I've listened to it in a couple of years. A quality album.

 

Did anyone ever see the 'Cool As Fridge' T shirts done by a bloke called Edward Barton?

 

Talking of t-shirts, does anyone remember the Spacemen 3 t-shirts that everyone used to wear 'For all the f****d up kids of the world, we bring you Spacemen 3'. You could always guarantee that anyone wearing that t-shirt always looked really square and not at all f****d up.

i saw that TOTP 2 - funny!

Clint Boon was asked to join the Fall after the Inspirals split but thurned them down because I quote "I didn't realise how much of a loon Mark E Smith was until we'd worked with him" - as exclusivly revealed on my radio show last week.

 

If you go and see Tom Hingley live, he fills about 80% of his set with Inspirals stuff - I went to see him a couple of saturdays ago and sang a verse of Directing Traffic, that's Clint and Tom I've sung with now, I think I might of been the 6th member of the Inspiral carpets.

 

Incidently Mr Boon also said that he hopes to work again soon with the Inspirals, so they may well be reforming! he is also reforming his band called The Mill with Mani from the Stone Roses and the bloke from the High, and he's asked me to sing as well, cool!

 

The classic cool as [censored] T-shirts have been reprinted by Tom and i brought one, Cllint Boon had some cooler than [censored] t-shirts for his Clint Boon Experiance band, a moose replacing the cow!

 

Spaceman 3 - now theres a band, most of them are in Spiritialized now aren't they?

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

why the [censored] does the [censored] word censored appear when i type the word [censored], [censored] [****!!****]!

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

ha ha, caught you out!

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Spiritualized - now there's a band. "Lazer Guided Melodies" is a stunning album, as are some of the early singles that weren't on the album, such as "Why Don't You Smile Now" and "Feel So Sad".

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

Electricity was a great record

[Colin Zeal EFM]

The early stuff was better, although there is some good stuff on "Ladies & Gentlemen..."

 

Some of their early vinyl is worth a packet, and the Limited Edition CD of "Ladies & Gentlemen..." with the 12 different mini-CD's packaged in a Paracetemol-type box-thing is worth over £100 in mint condition.

spaceman 3 are best listened to at 2 in the morning when stoned or tripping

[ESG]

excellent sleeve indeed, by Mark Farrow I believe

[SteveP]

Have you heard the 'Let it Come Down' album?

 

I didn't get heavily in to it but the 'Out of Sight' track is just amazing.
