April 24, 200719 yr who is the other person singing in 'why are you looking grave' on cd? its a gruff sounding voice. It surprised me cos i don't think i heard it on youtube vid.
April 24, 200719 yr The other voice you hear is J Mascis and he's on the album version of the song. He's more famous for being in the band Dinosaur Jr, who are a big favourite of Mew. I guess it was a dream come true for Mew to get him to appear on the album. He also sings a bit on An Envoy To The Open Fields.......you should be able to make out his tone.
April 24, 200719 yr ^ cheers the mystery is solved hehe. Dinosaur Jnr! they're pretty old now yeah... hence the gruff voice envoy to the open fields is not on 'mew and the glass handed kites' i've downloaded the song however and will look out for it.

An Envoy To The Open Fields is on the album.......unless you have an odd release..? It's on all versions I have and all versions I have seen. Interesting.

Dinosaur Jnr! they're pretty old now yeah... hence the gruff voice envoy to the open fields is not on 'mew and the glass handed kites' i've downloaded the song however and will look out for it. ^ that is interesting. there is no reason as to why it wouldn't be on there, all album versions have this tracklist [atleast] :- circuity of the wolf chinaberry tree why are you looking grave? fox cub apocalypso special the zookeeper's boy a dark design saviours of jaz ballet (fear me, december) an envoy to the open fields small ambulance the seething rain weeps for you white lips kissed louise louisa ... a little off-topic here, i checked in my laptop to get the latest security software uploaded and told them to take a look at my hard drive and now the whole thing is being updated but that means there is a chance i could lose stuff, and by stuff i mean all music and all things mew. indeed i am hoping for the best and that they can save everything but maybe, maybe i'm in denial about it. i d o n ' t k n o w .
April 24, 200719 yr What, so you took it into a computer shop and aked them to updated your security...yes..? And what did you want done to your hard drive? I doubt they will have deleted any of your data.
April 25, 200719 yr basically, yes. i wanted norton off my laptop altogether since i thought that was making it slow, but it was actually a glitch in my hardrive which was slowing everything down. [norton is still being removed regardless] as a result they will be replacing the hardrive but first saving what they can from the one already in there. they said depending on it's condition they'll know what, if anything, is lost. the possibility alone is daunting. i've only just realised how much [besides music] i would loose. i'm at the stage where i'm hoping for the best. ok, all that isn't very thread topic related but just putting it out there in case :/ [btw Gareth, your avatar just freaked me out. i just noticed you're blinking!]
April 25, 200719 yr thanks josh. i'll know this friday so! :anxious: indeed, what a day it's been. my family and i got up for the dawn session here on the sunny coast. it was simple and touching. also my sister's bday so a very special day.
April 25, 200719 yr mmm its special for me too, i was at the anzac day match at the mcg and my grandfather was in ww2, the last post always gives me goosebumps its that intense...
April 25, 200719 yr Thanks Gareth. I'm silently confident it will be fine too :) This place makes the thought of losing the Mew stuff, atleast, ok since it's all retrievable. ^The traditional match was still exciting dispite the bombers losing by a couple goals. But they're back in form. I'm waiting for the bombers vs. lions match here. Things are going to get messy, I can't wait!
April 26, 200719 yr a friend of mine is a die-hard lions fan so that will make things extra sweet :wink: an ess victory will make her see the light. i've never supported the brissy lions, not in a single match against anyone, so sitting in the center of a sea of lions fans is sounding very appealing!
April 26, 200719 yr I promised Kathy I'd post this, so here it is!! My portrait of Bo! :D I'm quite happy with the way it came out. It's only the second portrait I've ever attempted, and has prompted me to pick up drawing again. Btw, that's a pick in his mouth if you can't tell, not his tongue. :P Yay to Bo for being such a pleasant drawing subject. Wasn't too difficult having to stare at his mug for an hour or two... :laugh4: I used a really light pencil, so some of the finer shading was lost on my old scanner. I darkened it in photoshop. I've done another of Jonas, but need to fix it up a wee bit still. Will post when I'm satisfied with it. Kathy, keep us posted on the status of your computer. I'd send it a get well card if it could read. Please pass along my best wishes, eh? :laugh3:
April 27, 200719 yr OMG Nadia! That is amazing. It looks exactly like Bo! You should post it on the official site if you haven't already since Bo himself could see it :D Hm one of Jonas too lol well you know I shall be early awaiting that! :P I am also very happy to report that all your support for my pc has been well appreciated and it's up and running, everything saved :) I'm so relieved and never so quick to back everything up. All my video footage from the CP concert is on here too and no one besides my family and I have seen it so I should share it with you all in case I don't get the chance too [if you'd like to see it of course!] Yay for the pc and the wonderful portrait! :)
April 27, 200719 yr Thanks Josh and Kathy. :nice: Glad to hear that it does in fact look like Bo. I've stared at it for so long, I can't tell for sure anymore! My dad told me to send it to him (lol), but posting it on the official site is good enough methinks. :laugh4: Yay Kath for the happy news on your computer!! Tragedy was avoided. Whew. And you know, it would be *such* a burden for us to have to safe guard your wonderful CP videos, but it's a burden we are willing to bear. ;)
April 28, 200719 yr yeah, a real burden to watch exclusive footage just taken meters away from the boys, when will the tortue end lol i'll upload it soon, just after i've uploaded some singles for ^ nightsurfer which, thanks to Gareth, we're all able to do :)
April 29, 200719 yr Most recent myspace bulletin from Jonas: Hello everyone. Hello. Well it seemed someone hacked into our thingy and sent off some very short bulletins. Sorry about that. At least that's what I think must have happened, I can't be certain, it may have been Bo playing tricks on you all. We're back in Copenhagen, it's lovely. Our recent US tour was a lot of fun! It was more than fun, it was wonderful! Thanks all of you who came to see us. It feels good to see that people are finding out about us. I don't have much else to write just now. We are writing new songs and it's very enjoyable, really exciting! There will be less than a handfull of shows in the Summer, but something might happen in the Fall. We haven't decided yet. In the meantime we will be writing, swimming, and dancing. Hope you are having a great weekend. Sincerely, Jonas The cryptic, strange bulletins he speaks of consisted of random punctuation marks. :rolleyes: Personally, I'm going with the "it was Bo and his tricks" theory. Great to hear that they are busy back in the studio! :dance: I'm crossing my fingers, toes and eyes that their new album will be out by the end of the year. Exciting prospect! nightsurfer, we can't post d/l links in the World of Music forum anymore, as per request. PM me with a list of what you need. :)
April 30, 200719 yr ^ yeah i thought they were trying to be funny, it was odd though hehe. or that someone hacked into their site, like those check out who is viewing your site hackers. lovely drawing btw ;)
April 30, 200719 yr GazeboflossUK and StarsKay yes you are right an envoy to the open fields is indeed in the mew and the glass handed kites album...........i was just testing your............ .....actually i lost my mind ! i thought it wasn't on the album, i am so ashamed, and i call myself a mew fan! on another note i was listening to mew late one night, had the window blind up and saw a fruit bat fly by i thought it was a nice little touch... added to the ambience. :)
