Forty two minutes of fu*k

Ah yes, some more shindig output. Me, Tuggers and Brian mc Dev decided to create a mix cd series in the vein of those late night tales/fabric/back to mine/journeys by dj...etc type things.
So here it is, the first installment of shindig nights.
It's forty two minutes as the title suggests and it's a darn well large download but I believe it to be well worth setting any party "off".
Expect further volumes from Tuggers, Brian and possibly the rest of the shindig establishment.


er... update of sorts, anybody able to direct me to me a site that will host the file, its two big for all them wee host sites so i guess i mite have to break the mix in two.

Reaffirmation

Just because ol' Messy hasn't posted anything here in a while doesn't mean he's any less dedicated to the Shindig cause. I've just been suffering from creative brewer's droop.

Christmas will yield its merry share of joy from my direction towards that of Shindig and its constituent consumers.

Just sayin is all.

Here we go.

Arab strap then.Fuckin nothin short of the tits.

Ruddy nice chaps too.

After the artwork

Alright! Busy week! As promised, music by me for personal download by your good selves. MP3s of my new single, A Kick Up The Hole. (Artwork here.)

(You'll also note you can just right-click and 'Save As' - we got ourselves a bit of webspace. Thanks to Gooch for the heads-up on that one...)

01: A Kick Up The Hole

02: Johnny Ballbags

03: Easier Said Than Bummed

04: Raining Again

If you only get one, I'd pick Raining Again, although they're all fairly different. Enjoy, and gimme some feedback!

Now for some real news

Good news everyone! Robert T. Whoriskey is alive and well. It's been yonks since we've heard from the thran cunt, so it was a joy to open up gmail and have a lovely long e-mail from him waiting... (Nice pic of Norwich there - although i did put 'Norwich is rubbish' in the search engine.)

Anyway, here's some words that came right out of the man's mouth and/or fingers:

hey crown princes of shin and shuvel, first of all i must apologise for my long silence for i have had many things on my plate but also i am a diagnosed technophobic ballbag who only recently began to use his phone. Anyhoo i will begin this thinly desguised apology with a rather over indulgent update on my activitys in sasanach(think thats how spell it, no grade in pass irish), first of all things are quite good havent had my heart broken and i still havent got the enevitible bollocking from my tutors for my obvious alcoholism and racist jokes (once my tutor asked me what my work was like last year and i told him that i dident do that much last year, i just drank)

ive wrote a few things i think you gays might like, one really nice harmonic thingy wrote while i couldent use my fingers much and a nice tapping thingy that might sound good on keyboards il probably write loads more stuff when i get home. im wet thinking about hearing the new stuff from angelo and bad boat (tuggers i only listen to the super 8kids album more than your last ep its one of my most played on itunes and every time i listen to it i feel afraid of you and your villainous brain) o yeah i put "staish"into itunes and requested track names ant they came up they even gave genre. When i think of you gays (Diarmuid Daniel and Connor ect) back home my wee heart swells with pride because i know your all pure genius' who make letterkenny seem like the epicentre of good irish music/music and not the center of the donegal cattle trade.

Recently ive been reading and re-reading your blogs, very very funny, ive showed my friends here, they dont really get it but as stephen hawkins once wrote "who gives a fuck about stupid people anyway" feel free to stick some of this e mail up there if you want or even give people an update of my adventures

oh yeah got a job the other day in a pub, and got an offer of a job illustrating for this company that a friend of mine from my time in limavady set up in nottingham...any way give us an update on the craic with use and yer adventures. recently i bought the alias and ehren album which is one of the nicest thing that was ever in my ear, pure snowey beautifulness, o and ive also been listening to earth, four tet and the ex-models who i seen recently and it was the best gig ive seen since watching this drunk guy fall over and land on the back of his head outside milan last year, made a sound like bonk, how is every one back home anyway lots of glove hope this finds you all well, say hi to your mums for me. taigs out ....bye.

lots of glove to you too rob :)

Before the music...

...I present the amateurish artwork for my neu single, A Kick Up The Hole. This way, you'll be one step ahead when it comes time to download that shit.

(It also means you can enjoy the titles before the songs come along and disappoint. That said, I'm not un-proud of my newest works, not un-proud...)




















Music follows later this week hopefully.

P.S. I hope you like my new ska direction.

Mooooooooooooooooooooon River.

Well, me Laura and Brian attended Four tet agus Kid Koala and Just as expected, Fantastic.
I really didn't expect much from kid koala cause the one album I have of his, "carpal tunnel syndrome" is an exercise in dickin around with records that, overall, is pretty underwhelming.
But by fuck he tore shit up, highlights included a trumpet solo done entirely with scratching and him playing the notes in moon river using the stylus.
Four tet began by pishin around with loads of funny little sounds that sounded like he was logging on to the internet and then launched into the first cut off everything ecstatic.
Downright absolute highlight of the entire evening had to be "smile around the face" which everyone flipped out for. More like bang in your face.
What I didnt expect was a kind of mash up after that, things got crazy.
Great evening all round then.

Lookin after jesus....

Not alot of posts these week, I brought up my gamecube this week so that's been filling my spare time neatly enuf. Tugger's also been rockin the bedpan look, Phresh.
Four tet this sunday in Belfast, Diarmiad I care not what you say, please go.
Belle and sebastain and Mogwai are also appearing in January.Lovely.
Peace to B-koz, last thursday night was off many the chain.
Oh, and also I still cant express enuf how much I hate those fucking plastic wristband thingys,
some cunts round here are still wearing them.

Uh bega Um Ba

My lecture was cancelled today.
Again im doing nothing all day it seems.
So here's another scan from my sketch book. Kinda remind's me of that Andrew W.k's guide to shoe laces I made Declan all those moon's ago.
Bizare-ly Enuf thats two Andrew W.k mentions on the blog this week.

I hope I can post something actually interesting again soon.

Go on, give us a snare rush.

Just a quick brogue of news before I go cinemawards.
By Zaphf, Buck 65 was off the chain the other night.
The Cage album "hell's winter" is incredible (maybe I'll put a track up on slice o' class).
Halloween was enjoyable, me as Andrew W.K , Stephen as some form of Trucker, Brian as a raging fag and most notably Tuggers as a minstrel.
Shindigwise Kick Acid started his new album called "Dunion's full of shit".
