Cool! Great drumming.
There's a comment by Allan Crockford. Is that thee Allan Crockford of the one and only Prisoners? What's he up to these days?

 

[paul messis]

Axel yep Allan is said Prisoner.

He is currently in a group called Galileo 7 who also record at the same studio I record at, they just released a new LP 'Staring At The Sound' available on 'State Records'.

Mole the dude playing drums on my track above, is currently the bassist in Allan's band.

Messis. This is the shittiest thing you'll ever put your name on. I fucking love it. This is cruder and more real to me than the State produced stuff.

5 fucked up stars from me. xx

 

[paul messis]

cheers Gav.... I dunno what I'm doing most of the time.... so have just winged it up til now... let's see how the next batch of releases go.

 

[paul messis]

It's not as crude as my christmas song from 5 years ago....

[Hicksville Hogwash]

LOL.... i have been listening to some of your old 4 track pottystudio, CD private releases, recently. These I like for the vocal crudiness and your post pubescent rage. "Sick In The Head" EP/mini LP are great mountaineer driving tunes especially - "Stranded"

 

[paul messis]

I miss those times.... just before Facebook became the rage, I think I made 4 cd's in this manner.... I occasionally listen back to these discs with embarrassment !!!!

 

[Hicksville Hogwash]

I understand that, someone recently sent me a video of the g. uglies live it is hard for me to distinguish which song was even being played. the sound was so freakin' awful I thought it was genius to have the most fucked up guitar sound going through the tiniest tinniest amp ever.

...and I know when I first got those CD's I was "yeah sounds like a 4 track cassette thing" but I think your embarrassment is a good sign of crude charm to other ears.

 

[paul messis]

is this video footage on Youtube??

 

[Hicksville Hogwash]

errr no Paul it was set to private until I approve to let it public..... what is the point disappearing into the woods if yer past is chasing you up the holler..... but I'll see if I can get it to you.

It is filmed real bad though xx

Edit - Rosco stuck it on facebook I can't link to it and I ain't gonna agree to public it so if you are still Facebooking ask Mr. Sterling .

Are you happy?

 

[paul messis]

NEVER....

You'll hear my unhappiness in my next LP due May.... the aptly named 'case closed' each track is a total drag and utter misery - even sadder than, I dunno The Bittersweets???!!!

when folks start buying my 45s, I may be partially happy!!

: )

Was looking at the paper collectables forum and decided just to make those who may be interested aware that for my next LP, I will be including some self made goodies which will go into 100 of the 500 copies.... you've seen it hear first folks

There will be a business card, which I've already made myself and 100 posters, which I will soon get made.

 

[Michael W]

Nice poster photo, but you would have scored extra points by posing on the tree.

New promo video for a track from the forthcoming LP.... out in April.

Out on State Records on April 15th, limited to 500 copies, 100 of the copies will feature a limited black or blue poster and business card as made by myself.

Cheers Paul


ps... can someone explain how to post YT videos properly?

 

[Michael W]

Copy the URL of the Youtube page that has the video
In the forum reply box click the icon that looks like two film frames (next to the tree icon)
Paste the URL in the box that pops up and click "Embed"
That should do it - to be sure, select "Preview" and if the video image shows up in the preview panel then it will be like that in your post.
