Congrats on making Wire's best of list :)

Hello sir! You're on here too!

Thank you very much, wasn't aware that existed! I was actually on about an album in your library called Live at Cafe Oto with one 50 minute track labelled "Set Two" but don't worry, this'll do nicely :)

Got my nice new ROOM 40 "10" with my WIRE mag today !

yey! tenniscoats in Nº1 spot, theyre good, though i think Tujiko Noriko deserves a bit more love IMO, =)

Thanks for the friend request. Drums with Tenniscoats! That's great. They still haven't made it to Dublin yet, sadly.

Fantastic - cheers for this John. I am in Manchester, and even though I occasionally make the trip south for gigs, I'm rather chuffed TH might be playing up this way. Just checked out your profile and seen the Room 40 connection. I have a few releases on that label (including TH's Norberg), and will definitely check yours out in a minute. I was briefly living in Auckland NZ a couple of years back, and seem to recall attending a couple of Room 40 -promoted events - Jeph Jerman & Greg Davis was one, I think.

and thanks for putting him on! i've waited so long to see him, it should be amazing.

Hi John, nice to see you at the Room 40 nights, and great nights they were! I see you've listened back to some stuff. I'd especially love to hear the Organ Octet, Sébastien Roux, Tomasz Bednarczyk and the Tujiko Noriko / Lawrence English / John Chantler sets!! Hope your lunch / session goes well on Sunday :)

thanks for the friend request :)

hello from japan!are you musician?

thank you!

& what music of yours would you recommend to me…?

hey John, great to meet you at Oto. Jeck plays the bass is a special thing, huh? :) So glad you like it! See you at Fennesz or Atmospheres 3, maybe…

A belated thanks for accepting my Friend request! I invite you to join my friends-only group [group]Chez Musinum[/group], a hub for artists, listeners, and group leaders... all members with an artist or label presence are connected and their music will play on one or more of our Artist Radios... and you can be Minister of anything you like in our disturbingly fanciful Cabinet. Come see for yourself!

Hey John! I got a chance to listen to the vinyl of "For Barry Ray - New Days" I bought off you, and just wanted to say what a wonderful record it is! :) It's been a while since I've had the opportunity to listen to vinyl. Some of my favoutite stuff is on 7/10/12". Just something about the whole process of getting the record out and onto the turntable, and putting the stylus needle down... the whole physicality of it all... and some subconscious connection from knowing that the sound is coming directly from a real object. Somehow you connect with the music more I find. Also, maybe it because it takes you away from other distractions. Sorry, I'm going off on one! ;P

You may be close then! Looking forward to the concert.

Yes, leaving tomorrow morning.... Where in sweden are you exactly? I hope you're not performing in stockholm.

Hi John, just noticed you've been listening to The Tone Generation - what do U reckon? - i've really enjoyed them myself, big shout out to ian helliwell for producing them.

How'd the tour go?

hey, couldn't make it to any of the tenniscoats shows due to exams :( I hear they're amazing live though

Have not heard of them, worth a listen ?

thanks for letting me know, i'll see what i can do

Hello, unfortunately I have exams right through to the 8th of June so I wont be able to go to any of them, especially as they aren't playing in Manchester which is wher I am based atm...have a lovely time though.

Would love to see them, but Birmingham is a bit too far. Will keep an eye out for them playing up north though :)

Hi. I live in Japan now so not gonna make it to the UK dates. I did see them last month though, playing with karl blau in tokyo. It was a great show! enjoy

indeed i will.. I'm really looking forward to it.. will look out for you on the night!

it sure is! are you playing with them? must get my tickets soon :)

would love to, but too far for midweek unfortunately!

i was just thinking about that today actually, but i didn't realise they were playing a few cities which is amazing... i don't have to get down to london now.

i just wanted to say that i find monoke amazing. good luck with the tenniscoats tour!

hi there john chantler

I've an idea - how about you reschedule for the beginning of August, just to suit me?

oops. can't seem to get 'new days' off rotation. lest i will die a happy man....

hey feller. hows the life? looks like i may see you in the next six months if all goes well in function tour land. hey hook me up with an address soon so i can send you some stuff off my new album in the works. peace.

Hi John! Was really nice to meet you at Cafe OTO the other night. I'm going to check out your stuff soon, and have a good look/listen on the ROOM40 site... first port of call, the new Tenniscoats record!

Hullo there. How's life? I'm living in the UAE these days. Very different, especially music-wise, largely 'cause live music doesn't really exist other than cover bands in hotels. So I'm recording in the desert!

hey John, how did the gig at Cafe Oto go? Love that place, man
