thanks a lot for the add, I want to recommend you a band called [artist]Unquiet Nights[/artist], I love their music, give them a go Amy x https://essentialcredential.bandcamp.com/album/21st-century-redemption-songs-album-sampler-2

Hi! Happy New Year (belated ^^). Are you O.K.? It's been a while.

Hi flokemon! Great musical taste! I need to check out some of the artists in your library. I am curious to know what you would think of my friends' band, [url=http://www.facebook.com/musicofMANKIND]MANKIND[/url]: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bedN-v9QMwc . Cheers from Sweden

OMG Flo... I have to thank you soo much... I've seen that the Trail of Dead concert in Dortmund is combined with Woven Hand... I love Woven Hand... Like we say - Two flies with one slap... =D

Got tickets for Suede in November =D. The new album is quite good.

Hmmm... I see they are in Dortmund in August (that's around the corner). Maybe I can go there.

So you don't like Mogwai & co as well? Else I would recommend another German band: Long Distance Calling. Pure instrumental and very good live band. Much harder than Mogwai. http://www.myspace.com/longdistancecalling

In my opinion CBP and Trail of dead are not THAT different. TOD maybe a bit more epic, but at last both are Post-Rock / Art Rock - aren't they? I love both.

Did you ever try Crippled Black Phoenix? Great album at the beginning of the year and great EP last month.

I love the new Trail of Dead. Brilliant stuff.

Nah. Mr. Hewitt left in 2007 already. You don't need to listen to new Mr. O. solo stuff, because it's still the same old boring music. I really hope he doesn't transfer that to "the new Six.by Seven", because that would destroy a legend.

Hi! Have you heard about the reunion? However he got that drummer, the turnout of all this better be good. When I told him to get a new drummer months ago (because that obviously is the main problem) he was whining that there aren't any out there... And now he pops up with ex-Placebo? We have a saying here which goes like: "Luck is with the stupid."

Thank you for the add, Flo,)

Hey! I didn't peek... I just got the album today because you told me it's a musthave. We played it both within 1 hour seems. =D I have to listen to it more often I suppose. It's really hard for Trail of Dead...

White Manna sounds great. Ordered the CD. Thx =D

He's an idiot that bullshitted me twice. And the second time was the last one (like promised). And I can't stand his music anymore... The same over and over. Now he tries to make it better with heavy riffs at the ending. As long as the beginnings of the tracks sound all the same (which they still do) I'm not interested. Indeed I'm thinking of leaving the newsletter and closing down the FB thing (which he isn't interested in anyway). Shall he go on and have fun with his other fans. He don't needs me and I don't need him.

No I'm not going to London and I'm not going to talk to Mr. O. anymore. Sorry for the late answer - I was in Berlin. I would have seen Radiohead there if the concert hadn't been postponed because of the Canadian stage disaster. We were seeing The Mars Volta instead. Pretty good live band.

We have Spotify now! Wee-Hee!

Very nice song. Thanks! I hope he's coming to Germany... I always wanted to see him live. Sadly Spiritualized is not very well known here. Ollie brought me to it and Spacemen 3 just a few years ago.

This is my Jam isn't THAT big fun if you live in a country where you are not allowed to watch youtube videos. -.-

Well as long as they sue the makers and not the users, it's O.K. for me. As I know they have permits from some studios at last.

I'm at the streaming service Grooveshark now. Looks nice so far.

No I never heard of them. But sounds great and seems to be worth checking out more.

First track of The Disasters: http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Disasters/295821210439512 . Looks like Sam finally get's it going. I open a bottle of sparkling wine when he get's more likes than Mr. O. It's 64:18 after one(!) day now. Alternate on soundcloud: http://soundcloud.com/the-disasters-uk/control-hempton-blackadder

Grrreat. The german streaming site simfy has cut down free listening to 5 hours a month. So I'm out and back to zero.

And another round of "old stuff reloaded". I hastiated a moment if I want it or not... But it's 6x7 stuff... I'm sure it won't be worth the money, but he did a nice packaging at last.

Well, the first "likes" were before listening to it - because it wasn't on bc. I didn't see a repost of the new link yet. And no new "likes" concerning the album. Just more fans. Like I said - maybe a coincidence.

I doubt that. Maybe it's just a coincidence. Or idiots like me who constantly hope for a change to the better. ;)

Believe it or not... His Facebook page got "very much" likes since I posted the bandcamp thing there. We are talking of 6 since 2 days. In total we are at 62 now - so you see what that number is worth. So mission "artist self-destruction" doesn't work seems XD.

Himself reading it would have been at last something. Maybe with little chilly music in the background - just like Henry Rollins...

Looking forward to your comment on the forum. ;)

Here you go... Have fun: http://sixbyseven.bandcamp.com/album/i-can-make-you-sick .

Sadly my enthusiasm about our common "friend" is melting away slowly. And I think I'm not the only one. But on the other side I don't want to leave him. Because like you said - we all know he can do better. Maybe it's time to be a little less concerned about his new stuff (if there is ever anything wholehearted popping up again). Like my Mom said "If he does sh** like this, then DON'T buy it."

He's been on on Sunday, too. I suppose he get's no feedback. But honestly - what does he expect? "Well done? Great stuff?" LOL

Mr. O. was in the forum this morning. I accidentially was in at the same time so I saw his name. Oh boy... I wonder what he is thinking now, after he possibly read the war of the fans and our little chat... XD

I suppose no one dares to tell the truth. And yes, sure I'll keep you updated about Sam. He needs everyone of us...

He needs to be woken up somehow. I have good and very nice contact to Sam Hampton via Facebook. He's a really nice guy. He and his girlfriend founded a new band "The Disasters" (somehow "disaster" seems to be the favourite word in 6x7s vocabulary but nvm.). He had some nice tracks up on myspace last year, but put them down again. He seems to be a perfectionist (those tracks were perfect to me, but obviously not to him). They had a small test gig last week and it seemed to have turned out very well. They are going to record an EP soon. I'm looking forward to their stuff because it's promising. And he has a very cute cat btw. - In other words: There are others out there who need the old 6x7 fans. And maybe these are treating their fans better... - I'm not calling Chris unthankful, because he by far isn't (I can tell you ;) ). I think he sometimes just doesn't think far enough to realize any consequences that his deeds could cause.

Sadly he's too impatient and too greedy. I told him once to find a small label. I'm conviced that shuld be no prob. And he said - No! Small labels do bad work and you get no money from that. Help me out with that Doggen thing please. I know he was in the live 6x7 line-up... Did they team up?

I mentioned it on the forum now. Well I don't know what the problem with him is these days. I suppose he needed quick money for the Nottingham Goose Fair XD. What about his "The Death of Six.by Seven" thing? I want more of the "Everything is in motion" kind of music. Maybe he is suffering from burnout - what do I know...

Thankfully the forum is down, before I could write my impression of "I can make you sick". I told Mr. O. after I teased out of him what that album was about last week, he might better give out a brief warning to his fans if this this was spoken word only. Of course he didn't do so. He just used an iphone app to read his poems with different voices. I wonder where, apart from writing all this stuff throughout the last 20 years, is his right to take 8 pounds for this. I had preferred a paper version of his poems, which he initially wanted to make. But I suppose going to the copy shop is to exhausting for him and the making of ringbound books is too expensive. I mean O.K. if he makes 20 or 50 and no one buys them... But at last THIS will not increase fans. He lost e.g. 2 people on the Facebook page recently... I'm not going to write him an e-mail about this (I usually give feedback on his new releases), because it wouldn't be too nice.

I don't find that - he must have deleted that... But that guy is a psychopath. Unliking Chris on FB doesn't hurt me in any way. So he was that guy that left a few days ago I suppose... What a pathetic idiot.

What about Facebook? Did he delete anything in his post?

Oh boy... I'm finished with the pathetic forum. It turned into a Warzone - fan against fan.

Regarding his broken bones I suppose he can't even play fiddle these days LOL. Well I have a very broad taste of music. And so sometimes I dig up old or strange stuff like Green Day or something =D.

No plays of Mr. O.'s new amazing stuff? Me personally I can hardly stop playing it XD.

Amazon just wrote me that they sent out the CD. I chose the special edition including the all in one track version. I think it's useful ;). simfy is evil.. Now I can try out "all" CDs I ever wanted. And knowing them makes the need to get them more urgent than not knowing them. :/ After one week the "welcome" premium account runs out - let's see what this evil thing is like for free users after that...

Ah damn... The album is brilliant... The last track caught me... Thanks to you I have to spend money on a new CD now XD.

Thanks to Gibbey's shout on my site, I'm at simfy now. It seems to be like your spotfy over there. I started to check out the ...trail of dead album there. Sounds really nice.

Germany has the evil greedy GEMA that wants much money for any music played everywhere. I bet one day you'll be charged for singing in the shower. So much music on youtube is not accessible. God bless the artists who are doing everything by themselves (like Mr. O.). Well at last there seems to be Deezer, but I'm more into buying real CDs than into streaming or Backups. Doing that would make me feel miserable LOL.

I'll give the new one a try as soon as I get money. Promised. ;)
