Subincision
What is happening & cetera. Nice to see a bit of the sun again. All that rain can't be good for you.
I Should Stop Quitting Everything*
Yes friends, after a thrilling 9-day run, Trabby de la Schwank's assault on all that is good in music has come to a spluttering halt. For posterity:
TRABBY DE LA SCHWANK - Friends and Neighbours (DELETED! For ever and ever!)
Perhaps Trabby too closely scaled the dizzying heights and too thoroughly plumbed the stomach-wrenching lows of avant-garde expressionism, leading to an implosion of musical thought, or perhaps this whole idea was just really stupid and pointless: who can say?
Onwards and Upwards
To the positives, and as we approach the end of the second month of Summer 2006 (!), what in the Dickens is going down, Shindig-wise?
1. The new solo B-Koz material really is shaping up to be something special. With DJ Dano as chief architect and myself providing a healthy portion of the building materials - to be joined by more of Letterkenny's finest musical contractors in due course, no doubt - all we're waiting for is Da Koz's blistering raps to furnish the thing. (Didn't know where I was going with that but it worked out quite nicely, I thought.)
2. As soon as the B-Koz project gets wrapped up, new October Country/Beesley and Super Eight Kids material will hopefully be sent to the refineries of Shindig's various production facilities.
3. I think Diarmo's never-ending quest for noisy pop orgasm is currently on hiatus for retooling. Fix your god damn lappy D.
4. You'll have noticed the Fionnster has joined us. If you haven't already, download his typically mellow cover of the Flaming Lips' "Race for the Prize", via this post here!
5. Kick Acid has another 200BPM megathon in the works, this time exploring the theme of electronic gaming.
6. As for me, now that my upstart alter-ego Trabby has said all he needs to say (see above), my nearest and dearest Tugboat can come back to the fore. Expect new material sometime before the summer is out. (And/or after.)
But for now, take it proper easy!
*I'll get a reputation.

You didn't even know you were waiting for it
UPDATE: One of Rob's quarterly emails has come through from Norwich (making the title of this post ever-more relevant...) The gist: he's still alive and will hopefully be back later in the summer, which means our annual HOT COLLAB ACTION can begin again! Dirty lovely.

Word to your mammy
updates then, who needs them.
heres something to fill your ears/eyes.
Conor Mc Devitt just gave me the link to his "weblog" which makes fantastic reading material if you ever find yourself having a long spell on the can.
It currently also features his lovely mix which is Shindig approved for sticking on, before, during and after partying which carries the rather stereophonicesque title of "contains mild scenes of peril".

Mary & Joseph
Neither have I*. Sorry, we won't let this place get as lax on the updating front as Lord Messy d'Angelo's blog of forgotten greatness. Leave him messages so he'll get off his fat hole and write something to all of his adoring fans.
Anyway, an abundance of treasures coming soon.

Beat intelligence
Shindig did another short film over the easter. It's actually part of my final project for this year but expect it to crop up as an extra on the forthcoming DVD of whatever the hell feature length movie we end up makin.

New Tuneage
Well, new-ish. This is a recent redux of a tune I made last year called "I Am Bored". It started out with just that sorta dirty bassline thing you hear, but came to life when I accidentally added a drum'n'bass beat. In this newer version I basically fucked round with the beat way more and rejigged a few portions. And now it's fresher than ever, I reckon.This starts off what I'm hoping will be a very productive week, so keep it peeled...

EvEnTS!!!!!!!!!!
Ey op.
Some Shindig related events that may interest the lot of ye.
Its my birthday this arriving monday the 13th and to milk the rollocks out of it-any folk around belfast can celebrate this rubbish event by goin to see maggot and dj Xain of Goldie Lookin Chain fame on thursday night with us.
Then, on friday some refreshments and light entertainment in the form of Durning dressed as a mexican wrestler will be at my house which will then proceed to much larking about in the Fubar.Diarmiad, you better have your saggy arse home for it.
Back to that gubbins about the kick Acid thing I mentioned previously. Apperently it's in a function room of sorts in the Radisson hotel Letterkenny on the first of April.Its some school related dance thing with a band called Atlus whom will be performing before me.
Its open for anyone to go but due to it probably being a younger crowd than us lot and a bizarrely hollywood related dress code, I believe the interest wont stretch beyond a severly intoxicated tugboat and brian.
Expect live blogging from the event (dont really).
I bet that mixing up the lower and uppercase in the title of this post is ageing you rapidly Tugboat.

Fisting his coin purse, apparently
Senor Rob de la Whoriskey checks in once again from Norwich, gawd bless 'im... The highlights from his latest torrent of knowledge:
hope everything is top notch back in the land of fifty head butts. things have been really good for me over here recently, ive finally got back into my art work after one and a half whole years of being a lazy degenerate. recently ive been drawing dead boys, condoms and pregnancy tests and have been revelling in the colours pink, light brown and most of all baby blue....... spaff!
im generally really excited about everything at the minet most of all drawing and music, i dont know about you guys but, has music ever been this healthy? yesterday i finally got my hands on The Knife's silent shout album. it sounds like nothing ive ever heard before and the silent shout video is the sickist thing since the ebola virus rocked african dance floors in the mid ninties, the second track neverland is also an unearthly pleasure to listen to alone in your room with the lights out while looking at the six oclock traffic. ive made a concerted effort to finally get my hands on the global goon album family glue which i, as tuggers and dano know, have been whining on about for ages now so i orderded it. a recent discovery i made aswell was rex the dog who i suspect tuggers might know because of his boner for kompact and their bleepy din. i, despite my best efforts, have been liking death from above 1979, only because i swear i made music just like that when i was 15, with my bass and a boss distortion pedal, its like looking at a fashion photographers interpritation of my early years, where im sexy and class looking. ive also on the basis of hearing just one track been liking battles who made guitar muisic sound interesting for a minet, and frankie sparo who sounds like four tet playing with messy angelo, and messy is being really boozy and funny (by the way i love you diarmo), i found him on the song of the silent land compilation on constilation.
anyway ive been lovin the art work posted recently dano, its bootylicious, the one with the hands tugged me off this morning. oh yeah the album in a day was so pure and so class that i shouted both pure and class out loud when i heard it. i hav'nt really been writing much music recently, bits of pieces here and there. i really want to buy a synthisizer and play some of my songs on that to see what they sound like, but money will stop me from doing that.
right so, sorry for the long silence, hope this finds you all in good health and not full of aids, i will try to be in touch with your bad selves soon adios negros

ps saying fist instead of fuck is the new black eg "fist me that chantelle is a charming and intelligent person, who champions working class resourcefulness in the field of being dappy"
