[20:17] Martianet> OK WE'RE READY TO START
[20:17] demongoldfish> nice but V
[20:17] Martianet is now known as ROSS
[20:18] demongoldfish> karmabox: pretty simple one... -- what are your thoughts on the napster debate?
[20:18] ROSS> Don't know anything about it
[20:18] Ewan> It's a very good debate!
[20:19] Ewan> The only thing it could do is limit the possiblity for an artist to make a living, which is what they need to do the next piece of work.
[20:19] demongoldfish> moldylox: where can we find Greg these days? i had a dream about him wearing a dress once..mmmmmm
[20:20] ROSS> He's got an EP out under the Moniker D.C.P.
[20:20] ROSS> and he'd look good in a dress
[20:20] Ewan> I haven't had that dream in a while..
[20:21] Ewan> he's back in Melbourne finished an album and waiting to get it released
[20:21] demongoldfish> glenny: *QUESTION* what about bands not caring that their music is for free, do u guys just want ur music out there>?
[20:21] ROSS> We want the music out there but we'd like to be able to make a little money out of it
[20:21] Ewan> Maybe that Napster thing is not so bad at all, come to think of it kids.
[20:22] demongoldfish> DrKinkaid: where have you guy's dissappeared to for the last year?
[20:22] ROSS> Well Greg left the band
[20:22] ROSS> and we had to find a new guitarist
[20:22] Ewan> Up my own...
[20:22] ROSS> we've basically been making a new album
[20:22] ROSS> we always take stacks of time making our records anyway
[20:23] Ewan> I suppose we started working w/ Anthony after Greg left, and have been working w/ him on the album...
[20:23] Ewan> I did some gigs w/ Rebecca's Empire, I worked last year in a 9-5.
[20:24] demongoldfish> moofed: -- a question for snoutt -- um, the negative track on circle high and wide.. tell me about it (why was it put in, is it on all copies, who thought of it?)
[20:24] ROSS> yeah it's on all copies
[20:24] ROSS> it can't be played on all cd players
[20:25] ROSS> it was originally going to be the introduction to School Dux
[20:25] Ewan> Can I use your Cd player to hear it?
[20:25] demongoldfish> Aloha`t: Who did you get to replace Greg? And do you think he's better?
[20:26] ROSS> his replacement's name is Anthony Paine, he's the bass player from High Pass Filter
[20:26] ROSS> and he's a very different type of guitarist from Greg
[20:26] Ewan> Different I spose, he's got his own ideas and ways of working, and because he's not an axe murderer he fits in
[20:26] demongoldfish> moldylox: what er your fave oz bands to tour with?
[20:27] ROSS> We really enjoy touring with Youth Group at the moment
[20:27] Ewan> The Cruel Sea, one of the lovliest gp of guys
[20:27] ROSS> They're just a really nice bunch of guys and they've got great songs
[20:27] Ewan> The Fauves, it's been too long
[20:27] ROSS> But anyone we can learn anything off basically
[20:27] Ewan> Youth Group, we're touring w/ now
[20:28] Ewan> It's always interesting, you find ways of getting along w/ everyone. You always learn something new from other people-steal their ideas
[20:28] demongoldfish> E2EK1EL_Skater: what do you think of bardot?
[20:29] ROSS> They're just more of the same tripe that's been pumped out through the last century
[20:29] Ewan> Very talented singers- they can sing better than me... but I don't know which one plays the drums
[20:29] demongoldfish> j0no: did ye guys enjoy your tour with Ben Folds Five in 1998?
[20:30] Ewan> Yeah that was great.
[20:30] ROSS> Yeah absolutely
[20:30] ROSS> it was really good to just play with a band that uses different kind of textures
[20:31] Ewan> Watching musicians like that is always fun every night. Sometimes you see a lot of bands on tours because you want to catch them all.
[20:31] Ewan> And sometimes you want to run back & watch the soccer finals..
[20:32] demongoldfish> DrKinkaid: here's my famous question..."do you think pop music is a conspiracy construde to pacify the minds of todays youth, while the U.N plan a world wide takeover? "
[20:32] ROSS> I dont' think it's a conspiracy
[20:32] ROSS> but otherwise it is all those things
[20:33] Ewan> There was a theory that that was why Nirvana made it mainstream - to silence rap music because it was getting such a hold in the mainstream media. And anyone who believes that isn't getting off their arse enough....
[20:34] Ewan> and following the issues they're concerned about... including me I talk with my girlfriend but don't get much further than that
[20:35] Ewan> Rage Against The Machine do a lot to raise issues, unlike other bands.
[20:35] demongoldfish> karmabox: at 1min 41sec in the track hey hey hey - if you listen carefully - you can hear an 'uh-oh' sound, similar to that used in the icq program... this also occurs during powderfinger's 'already gone' - is this the result of an over-active imagination or is it part of ICQ inc's masterplan to take over the world??
[20:36] ROSS> It's a joint conspiracy
[20:36] ROSS> between ICQ and the UN
[20:36] Ewan> I don't know what ICQ is, but probably not.
[20:37] demongoldfish> TanK: Ross, I see you've done some cover art, i.e. The anyones, will you be doing a exhibition anytime soon?
[20:37] ROSS> I've contributed to an exhibition before
[20:38] ROSS> which was all rock art and if someone organises one I'll be in it
[20:38] Ewan> I like art
[20:38] Ewan> Hero!
[20:38] demongoldfish> miss_jess: what do you consider your best album so far?
[20:38] ROSS> Hi Ewan!
[20:38] ROSS> The one we're recording at the moment
[20:38] Ewan> The Veins - self titled
[20:38] demongoldfish> glenny: *question* how is touring, do u look forward to it or not?
[20:39] ROSS> When you haven't done it for a long time you look forward to it
[20:39] ROSS> but when you're doing it everyday for three months you lose respect for yourself and everyone around you
[20:39] Ewan> I do, I don't do much at home - so it's good to be forced out , see family friends etc.
[20:39] ROSS> including you
[20:40] demongoldfish> DrKinkaid: whats your favourite alcoholic beverage?
[20:40] ROSS> Isopropyl
[20:41] Ewan> Ohh Ummm, at the moment I think it's Osaki?? or something. Free beer anyway.
[20:41] demongoldfish> Aloha`t: Is the music scene in Melbourne *really* better then in Sydney?
[20:41] Ewan> Ross: Did you bring your favourite tie on tour w/ you?
[20:42] ROSS> Aloha: Yes, I think... er.... mmm... ummmm... ahhh...
[20:42] ROSS> yes and no
[20:42] ROSS> Ewan: About my tie, I brought 3 ties and they're all quite nice
[20:42] Ewan> Yeah, it's more diversified, you can be at a Jazz venue, then go round the corner to a thrash or pop venue. Later licences.
[20:42] demongoldfish> lots of people have asked about touring e.g. "Aloha`t: When are you playing in Sydney next?"
[20:43] Ewan> Friday night. Annandale Hotel...
[20:44] Ewan> probably one of first gigs in Sydney was at the Annandale, they've treated us well, we've had some good gigs there, but theyve moved the stage - what the hell?
[20:44] ROSS> Saturday, The Excelsior
[20:44] demongoldfish> lot49 asks: Ross do you have a science degree?
[20:45] Ewan> Fat Chance!!! Haha
[20:45] ROSS> Get Stuffed Ewan
[20:45] Ewan> He wouldn't know his shoelace from his frayed sock!
[20:45] ROSS> Oh yeah?
[20:45] Ewan> Yeah
[20:46] demongoldfish> karmabox: are you excited about the olympics?
[20:46] Ewan> He needs to get this out of his system - his therapist says so
[20:46] ROSS> No
[20:47] Ewan> Ah yes, I used to be a long distance runner myself - under 21 Champion, it'll make a good doorstop.
[20:47] demongoldfish> glenny: *question* would u ever play a gig just for grog?
[20:47] ROSS> For Isopropyl yes
[20:47] Ewan> It'd have to be a hell of a lot - to own the brewery, yes.
[20:48] demongoldfish> owen: Are you guys going to play any nice all ages gigs in Sydney soon (ala Iron Duke 1998)?, it's really getting harder to sneak into pubs.
[20:48] ROSS> We're not really pro-active in the booking department
[20:48] Ewan> If someone organises something we'd love to!
[20:49] ROSS> If someone asked us to do one, we certainly will
[20:49] ROSS> Stop doubling up on answers!
[20:49] ROSS> your messing with my shit!
[20:49] ROSS> We're doing one in Adelaide on 9 September
[20:49] Ewan> You can nick our stuff online anyway you little bastards!!!!! Haha
[20:49] Ewan> We'd love to.
[20:49] ROSS> Yeah you little pricks!
[20:49] Ewan> U 18's are less inhibited than the old folk.
[20:50] ROSS> Oh i don't know
[20:50] ROSS> I still enjoy a good fox trot now and then
[20:50] demongoldfish> lot49: *question* what do you guys think about Beck's music?
[20:50] ROSS> It's good
[20:50] ROSS> REALLY good
[20:50] ROSS> I'm not just saying that
[20:51] Ewan> Yeah it's good. What does he think of our stuff?
[20:51] ROSS> Someone played Beck some of our stuff and he raised an eyebrow and scratched his chin
[20:51] Ewan> Are you there Beck?> Beck hello Beck. Snout calling Beck
[20:51] ROSS> so i'm taking that as a compliment
[20:51] demongoldfish> Aloha`t: Hey Ross do you write all the songs yourself or is it a group effort? IE How do you guys write songs?!
[20:52] ROSS> I wrote the inital structure, lyrics and stuff
[20:52] Ewan> Yeah it's all him.... I'd be nothing w/out him-still at the bottom of the garden
[20:52] ROSS> and then we jam on it
[20:53] demongoldfish> DrKinkaid: what do you think F.B.I stands for
[20:53] ROSS> Federal Bureau Investigation
[20:53] Ewan> Federal Bureau of Investigation
[20:53] ROSS> (of)
[20:53] Ewan> Why? what does it really mean?
[20:54] demongoldfish> Aloha`t: Where is a Snout homepage?
[20:54] ROSS> It's totally stuffed I think now
[20:54] ROSS> We'll have to get on to it
[20:54] ROSS> There's a good unoffical site done outta Brisbane
[20:54] Ewan> There's one which is based in Brisbane, I don't have the address.
[20:54] ROSS> It's called Get In The Car
[20:55] demongoldfish> Jezzman: What do you think of the australian music scene at the moment? Good?
[20:55] ROSS> That's a fairly broad ranging question
[20:56] ROSS> But it's ok
[20:56] Ewan> Do the kids know of any bands we should know about that we might not?
[20:56] ROSS> No really
[20:56] Ewan> It's a bit stagnant, bring back the eighties.
[20:56] ROSS> www.powerup.com.au/~wyn is the Get In The Car Snout page
[20:57] demongoldfish> glenny: *question* what would u do to some1 that was stalking u, if u caught them ? :P
[20:57] ROSS> Stalk them right back
[20:58] Ewan> Ask them to dinner, invite them in out of the cold. Actually I'd strip, if they can take that they're really sick.
[20:58] demongoldfish> E2EK1EL_Skater: what are your thoughts on Sunk Loto????
[20:58] Ewan> Shouldn't have let the water in
[20:59] ROSS> I have no thoughts on Sunk Loto at the time of writing
[21:00] demongoldfish> owen: I've been writing a concert chronology for Bronwyn's aforementioned site, is there any chance of you guys checking it out and maybe adding to it?
[21:00] ROSS> We'd love to check it out
[21:00] ROSS> but if we added to it we'd only make mistakes
[21:01] Ewan> Ross: Did you bring your favourite tie on tour w/ you?
[21:01] demongoldfish> Aloha`t: Do Snout have plans to release albums overseas? Or are they happy with local success?
[21:01] demongoldfish> ONE MORE QUESTION PEOPLE
[21:01] Ewan> What success?
[21:01] ROSS> They actually do come out overseas
[21:01] Ewan> One has been released in the states, the last one
[21:02] ROSS> and we're happy enough with whatever
[21:02] Ewan> Ross: Did you bring your favourite tie on tour w/ you?
[21:02] demongoldfish> E2EK1EL_Skater: who do you think is the next big thing?
[21:02] ROSS> Who knows? Who cares?
[21:02] Ewan> Someone we haven't heard of
[21:03] ROSS> But they're gonna be big
[21:03] ROSS> REALLY big
[21:03] ROSS> no REALLY REALLY big
