I agree, Daim (spelling) bars are fantastic, even though they tend to stick to your teeth. I read tht you can get them in Ikea stores (dunno if you have to put them together yourself then)

Latest Comment: Ambiant tones

Hi Lloyd, I'm not a ringtone addict but I must say that I was quite interested in your propositions. I chose the Glassy tune to replace my previous ringtone ('Demon' by Isolee, a pretty good choice too). Btw, does your track makes reference to Philip Glass ? Do you enjoy his work ? Since I'm a Plastic Wood lover, I personally see a new ambiant album as good news. All the best for 2009. Cheers.

Latest Comment: From Nigel and Deb

Lloyd, I have been a fan for what seem like forever, the days of lost weekend and brand new friend, through Bad Vibes and onward. I would just like to say, that having waited in the Buxton Opera House to meet you after the gig, you are a great guy, and who would have thought, your parents met in Greenfield of all places.. Sound bloke, I wish we would have stayed for a pint with you, maybe next time. So, thanks and keep on, keepin on.

Ok, great. I'll wait and see. Btw, I just read that CV from 2001 (?) on the net, and there is a mention of a webshop of some sort that you planned with Michael Penn and Aimee Mann. What happened to that?

Latest Comment: On a warm sunny day....

Today sitting down with the guitar and Lloyd's Folksinger Whelan's disk two coming out the speakers I decided to play along with Don't Look Back. Recording the last full/on version, I had played the original to learn the start of the song only then just played along with rest of the song with the chord sequence as written. Whoops! Today I discovered on playing along with the song after the intro that I was wrong in my sequence, so I recorded a new track, old strings, on my old Yamaha acoustic guitar, probably too much reverb, not much time to play with the mix, but I hopefully got the chord sequence right. Early stages... I spared the vocals thus far, but will probably try to add some for fun. Any feedback from anyone that listens is fine, just please keep them constructive comments; I do this for fun, and it may hurt if points are not validated.

I've never met NF. I do rate his songwriting and production values very highly. I was never a huge CH fan but, but when they were good they were very good. Great, in fact.

Latest Comment: Good be keeping in touch

Its funny to think over 500 messages since the Fly-Ins started. Latest coverage from Australia and the Netherlands of all places, what a far flung bunch of fans all enjoying fine music and good times. Looking forward to the new releases and upcoming tours here, there and everywhere...

I'm sure I've said this before, but - the Negatives Bowery Ballroom and Mercury Lounge shows were about the most fun I ever had playing music.

Latest Comment: same here

I've got a Tivoli CD player partnered with Quad amps as well -- they go well together form factor-wise. And I have the Bryston integrated on my eBay wish list but they are very pricey even used. Someone's selling some nice Celestion SL600 speakers there now... As a compromise between pro and home audio, check out the Blue Sky EXO speaker system. It is inexpensive, compact, and self-powered with very good full-range sound. I'll shut up now. Ralph

Latest Comment: My Music Area is now updated with all 59 Songs

My Music Area is now updated with all 59 Songs (30 were not previously on the site), Artwork and Credits. Hopefully you can see if it's worth $50 now. Bear in mind that the mp3 files played in the music area are 67% the length of the actual tracks, and they are mono. They will give you an idea of what a record is like - they do not give you the record! I'll start work on The Folksinger pages now, but there is a lot of stereo editing to be done to make the mp3s so I doubt I'll have it ready for xmas, but I'll try.

"it does also offer a safety net after working in a particular studio which may have a particular bias - a bright sounding control room might encourage dull mixes" Now there's another nugget in the series: Things you don't think about when you don't work with music professionally. Keep em coming! :)

Thanks for the translation, Carin. When receiving this, I attempted to get a rough translation through Babelfish. It certainly made for original reading: instead of "the crooner voice is raised with caution over a great melody" , Babelfish offered "The voice of the shifted crooner is posed with precaution on this owl melody." It was the first I had read of Lloyd writing songs for owls! Thanks again, Paul

Hi Jean its a good read There are some golden moments, I must say I'm a bit guilty of lip-synching at times. The writer is funny..bringing us into the moment with details such as 'A bonus of arriving in that state, perhaps not for those who had to sit near my less than fresh self'

Latest Comment: the Van Halen rider

Just as a point of interest, here's the infamous Van Halen "no brown M&Ms" rider that The Smoking Gun recently obtained. Interesting that the band claimed they did it to see if the venue had read the rider closely enough. http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2008/1211081vanhalen1.html

Lloyd, We golfers of Northern California would like to let you know that your perspective on Pebble Beach is right on target. It's obviously the "big gun" of the west coast, but sadly it's the third best course you can play in the Pebble area. Next time you're in the Monterey area, I highly recommend playing Spyglass Hill and/or Poppy Hills. Both are better courses than Pebble from tee to green, and much less expensive if you're trying to conserve some dough. Consider a "Duke's Card" to save money at Spyglass Hill, and find a Northern California Golf Assn member to get you in to Poppy Hills. It's true that nothing can touch the ocean holes at Pebble, but the inland holes are ho-hum...and at $500 a round, ho-hum should not be an option.

This article focuses mainly on Lloyd's great lyrics. What about the music? He's a blooming one man band.

Latest Comment: Gone Left 2-first class packaging

Impressed, I figured I wasn't going to write when my next shipment arrived from the States, but was too dazzled. Why bang on about shipment arriving? but I'm too impressed not to comment. I saw the 2001 collected set; and as I already had the albums except for the live bootlegs included, I had put off buying it. Glad someone suggested buying it on the Fly-Ins site. It is a great package, tasteful artwork and a great included book. With Hosuk Lee Makiyama working on the new artwork for the Ashtrays release it is in safe hands. I urge any fan to buy this package whilst available through the shop. Thanks also for the personalised comment on the sleeve...my lips are sealed ; ) Very happy indeed.....
