Just heard:

Silversun Session On Gideon Coe Show
6Music, Thursday, 8th December 2005

Superb! I take it this is a new one and not a repeat of the one they did some time ago?

I think they are in "The Hub", as it's known...

These are always live, as it happens.

hopefully it´ll be up online for a few weeks afterwards!

Excellent!

Incidentally, that's the name of their Japanese label...

hooray! can you get this using sky tv? i think i'll have to investigate. Will anyone be able to make mp3s of any live stuff they do?

Fairly sure you can get 6music on Sky yeah. I can get it on NTL.

Fantastic, can someone capture this live as it goes out, rather than getting the lower-quality listen again stream?

Wish I had a DAB radio...

Can anyone remember what time the hub sessions are on? It's always the same time of the morning, but I've forgotten when.

10am til 1pm it says on the t'interweb. excellent. i can wake up an listen. i'll sort out getting it recorded to mindisc. maybe i'll find out how to get that onto the computer at some point as a useable file. if i do i'll put the old ones up aswell

alex

Ahh... I was hoping for the exact minute, so I can sneak out of work and go and watch. I need to avoid getting trapped in my dept's weekly meeting, but I can't stay up there all morning... It used to be something random like 11:49 on the dot or something, but I haven't listened for ages.

Just found out... It's 11:40.

live tracks were "immediate" and "see me in my dreams". they sounded good. i'll have a go at transfering them to the mac at some point but don't tell the beeb...

alex

Yep... someone managed this before as I recall! If you have trouble doing it, I'll have a go tonight...

I captured it from a freeview TV box onto my MiniDisc, and have transferred the audio to my PC. I'm now chopping the tracks up. I'll have it online in two shakes of a lamb's tail.

Heh, I wonder if this is the most-recorded Silver Sun BBC session?

Hope Rapidshare's okay for everyone. If not, I'm sure there are other ways to get this shared too.

I *love* See Me In My Dreams.

They weren't in the hub, so I didn't see them play, but I said hello afterwards, and JB said he had a big grid on his wall of things he had to record for the next album and he's ticking them off one by one. He's just done all the guitars.

Thanks for doing the recording lazyhour! Sometimes when we huddle over spoils like this, I get the feeling we are like little sparrows, pecking up the crumbs dropped to us by amused human musicians, and flying around pooping with excitement. Sorry, perhaps I should have kept that image to myself.

Wow, I wish I was a little sparrow! Sparrows are awesome.

Funnily enough, I picked this book up in a charity shop yesterday - It's a "carefully recorded biography of a common sparrow" from the late 50s. If any of the sparrow's activities remind me of Silver Sun fandom, I will report back.



Somewhat implausibly, there is a photo in the book of the sparrow playing the piano. And another of him holding a playing card in his beak. I'm sure you can now understand why I bought it.

Oh man, you are a legend. Now I don't even have to wait until I get home to hear it... thank you so much!

Edit: I had forgotten how good See Me In My Dreams is...

That book looks brilliant - I can see why you bought it. Let us know what it's like... we could revive the "What are you reading?" thread.

When I was little, I used to get instalments of a blackbird's autobiography sent to me in the post. His name was Grenville and although he would sign each letter off with just a claw-print, it did look suspiciously like my Grandad's style of drawing. I can't remember what happened to Grenville in the end.

I'm glad this isn't the kind of forum that gets grumpy about going off topic.

Wouldn't matter if it was! You're a moderator and you could lay the smackdown on their ass. Democracy is so last century... :)

excellent! i missed it and completely forgot. my brain is like a tea strainer (much smaller than a sieve). Today i found out there's someone in my (tiny tiny tiny) college who really likes ben folds and has tickets to see him.

if anyone would like the songs from the last session, let me know and i'll put them up here. thanks lazyhour :D

edit: ok i've just downloaded it, it's really nice to hear see me in my dreams again. thanks lazyhour. And as a child i had a dog that wrote me letters from a dog home where he lived. he sent me pictures of him and stickers and cool stuff. I was sponsoring him until he found an owner, but he told me in the letters that he loved me and really needed me. So why did he leave me as soon as the money dried up?

Gah, it won't bloody let me download it!

PM me your e-mail address and watch as this issue magically resolves itself!

thanks for that, saved me a job!

does anyone have the other two as mp3's from way back? i think i can do it but i have to use cubase and frankly its rubbish, im not happy with it at all. if some one has could i get them emailed to me por favor (i want them for the ipod!).

[edit] okay i just read sheds post properly. yes i'd love the other two please. shall i pm you my email address?

alex

i already have your email, alex! either that or the other alex on here will get them :rolleyes: but i'll put the yousendit links up in a sec in case anybody else wants them.

edit:
can't get you out of my head

pipsqueak

thank you thank you thank you. you're a star

alex

Grumpy? Harrumph!

I used to write letters to Alex & Beth from Elspeth, the tooth fairy. Beth still has some of the letters in her memory box.

Aaaaah!

Whaaaaaaaatt? The tooth fairy isn´t real?? :(

Is the memory box a cunning ploy to stop her from keeping everything? I think I need one of those - our flat is heaving with bits of rubbish I "might want to look at again".

the tooth fairy is real - it's nick! just under the assumed name, Elspeth. Don't tell anyone.

And i assumed "memory box" was a way of saying "brain" :P

Ah, and the teaching is a cunning cover story, right?

The memory box is real enough, it's got all of her little treasures in it.

Don't worry, Jish, the tooth fairy IS real, it's just the letters that aren't. You can sleep easy.

And after Ofsted have been this week, the teaching may, indeed, have proved to be a cover story.

Watch this space, as they say. <_<
