Remember that if you got that close, than you’re doing something right. off to southern forests tomorrow to un-psyche, do some study & forget the cruel world … no doubt swervesters will be on the play list on the RX-7 speedway !! Hey swervie kidsters, life in cruisy ole perth is looking way cherry right now, what with all the things going on n stuff. I DOUBT THERE WILL BE ANOTHER SWD RELEASE.LETS FACE IT THE LONGER THE GAP, THE LESS LIKELY PEOPLE WILL REMEMBER. GIVEN THAT 99TH DREAM WAS MADE IN 97, RELEASED IN 98. Of course there’s going to be another Swerve release! There has to be! Right? Hrmmm, getting worried now… Good weekends everyone! e.ĭan (Manchester) Tell me it aint so…TELL ME IT AINT SO!! Ever the optimist (you’ve got to be to be a Swervie fan) I refuse to believe it. Lets not assume there will be no releases by swervedriver…who knows what father xmas has in store.anyone heard from jez,i wonder what he is up to anyone out there heard there new cd that came out on tuesday? Look at Superchunk, a true monolith of rock and roll that never quite got to the Rolling Stones cover despite years and years on the road…and they still haven’t lost the feeling, playing and touring on and on… They just love that shit, it’s written on their faces…Just keep it flowin…Good weekend to y’all… Erik, just like you said, you’ve got to keep playning for the love of it, that’s what make great bands what they are. Anyway, I’ll have to go because of my girlfriend…(Is there a single girlfriend in this world that doesn’t like Belle & Sebastian? For Chrysssake…). I guess they should change that name to “Jazz-free Festival” ,dontcha thnk?. This year the lineup features Belle & Sebastian, Catpower and Sigur Rós, among other lesser acts. Last year we had Sonic Youth and Sean Lennon. Next month a whole bunch of popstars will be landing on these shores to play at 12th edition of the “Free Jazz Festival” to be held in Real and Sao Paulo. Ever since the ol’ days of Galaxie 500 i never thought Dean Wareham to be such a great talent but now I start to realize how good a lyricist he is (“you’re out all night/chasing girlies/you’re late to work/and you go home earlies…”). In fact they’re quite competent, but…okay, you know all the crap about pop industry…I saw Luna last week and it was quite nice, they played a relaxing set with most songs taken from “Penthouse”. They’ve been hailed by a brazilian journalist as the “salvation of rock and roll”, which technically means they won’t last for long. WoW, looks like thhey’re on their way to the top. The Strokes will be on the cover of Rolling Stones and I think on Spin mag next month. what can I say except that this Toshack Highway 4-track release comes out sometime next month and it’s called “Everyday, Rock’n’Roll Is Saving My Life” and it probably sounds more like Swervedriver than the Toshack album.except it doesn’t… it’s guitars not keyboards, songs not instrumentals, but then again it’s not like SWD at all because there’s no bass or drums and it’s lo-fi as hell! I like the sound of 4-track recordings and almost all the Swervedriver material has always been recorded that way initially, and so this release for me has continuity with that stuff…except no one’s ever heard that…you wanna? And I like doing Sci-Flyer etc acoustically but gotta make another noisy record again soon…………….ffffzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz …………” When You Motor Away”………. I saw Guided By Voices at Coney Island and they soared! Open your eyes and they look like Eddie and the Hot Rods…they were so drunk in the afternoon….but those three-minutes blasts of perfect fizzing pop are to die for!…. The Strokes are almost….Jimmy saw them play in Brighton and thought they rocked and riffed good…he just likes them because they’ve got his hair. Right from the horse’s mouth-adams the man!įear not folks! It’s difficult to say what may happen. Great stuff, 99th dream is fantastic! Will the Toshack 4 track record be released in the US or will I have to get it from the UK? It kills me that I have only just discovered SWD (years spent not listening to it). Try listening to that song with headphones…And the idea of home made 4-track recordings with no instruments other than guitars is marvelous. Was it him on that triple J’ live take of “blowing cool”? Gee, “he flowin” (as the rappers say), absolutely perfect, and I mean perfect.
Hope he hasn’t quit the band thing for good. WoW, Adam, great news! It’s good to know Jimmy is alright and still got that same hairstyle so peculiar to the best guitar players.
