Hi ya,

The spores are slowly falling out of my head.

I discovered a good game to play on my PC the other day and you might
even like it too!

I use linux so don't ask me how to do this on Wintendo I don't know!

I been slowly transfering my Hawk albums to CDR.  Also I have a TV
card.  One night I was playing Text Of Festival whilst watching
Placeabo(?) playng live on TV.  I wondered What happens if I mix CD out
with line in (tv card) and record the result?

The result of the mix is GOOD!  muddy chanting (by Placebo) over werid
drum beats that never happened.   It sounds live, like it really
happened.  It don't sound like Hawkwind and it probably don't sound like
Placebo...   More like early Velvet Underground!

Frank Zappa would sometimes take a live bass track and mix it with live
drum track from something completely different to create what sounds
like improvised jazz.  I figure you can take any two live tracks and mix
em together to create new sounds or even music, just be careful that
only one track has lyrics at a time..

The great thing about Text Of Festival is its long instrumental bits and
its muddyness which seems to infiltrate into whatever other track you
play over it to mutate it into something completely unexpected.

Kinda makes up for the poverty that means I'm stuck up a mountain when
I'd rather be at the Royal Festival Hall:-(

Experiment and have fun!  At least its better than finding you just got
another Anderson rip off;-}

NB.  I thought Dave Brock was merely a baron...   Who had to die to make
him king?
