Language is always being hi-jacked

I like where you're coming from with the 'brother's keeper' concept. The problem is it will be almost impossible for anyone to hear the title and not think of this. I'm not adverse to the principle of working with / against unexpected connotations... but in this case - I just couldn't cope.

I have been working more on the temporary website concept. I had also thought of using some more text throughout - so if you have any particular relevant texts you'd like to include - send it through. I'd also like to get it up pretty much straight away, but not without making something we're happy with! I reckon I'll shoot for this week.

Have you seen this before - these guys have done some pretty seminal stuff i guess. In many ways it feels a bit lost in 2001... But I quite like this site none the less. Make sure you click on the header.

Here's our notes from the other night:

tape noise : bring up voices

this is the new thing : muddy kick
specialise synth
one offs in the middle (guitar string breaks?)

gem : title?
vocal
make mp3 without vocals

the sun sets on the age of the instrumentalist : do it

chuckles/populous : vocal hook

requited love : kill boominess
introduce vocals (sound? break?)
vocal record together?

blending the edges : harmonies

send away : structure
drop bass in last section?

item number : extra sound at ending to build intensity

smells like rain : song – celli

listening in for static :
