    The forum looks really bad logged in, theme changes and causes layout issues. I wonder if my account is so old it wasn't migrated properly?

    It used to be all about FotL, but the latest years Jilted has surpassed it. It has always been there, but I just realized I prefer to listen to it if I would choose now. Actually haven't heard much of Experience, only about 4-5 songs, but Out of Space is sick.

    Shpongle Live in Concert

    Flights to London [x]

    Tickets to concert [x]

    Waking up the morning after and realising that you don't remember shit from last night [x]

     

    Fuck you alcohol :angry:

    Do you remember me? :lol:

     

     

     

    I just woke up and it's 21:53 now. Shit.

     

    My trip started Thursday morning when I took the train to the city to meet up with my partners in crime. There were four of us and after some time we were all gathered and ready to go to the airport. We naturally teased everyone we knew an met while getting to the airport (1 person). The flight was uneventful and we arrived at Stansted safe and sound. Took the buss into the city, exited the buss at the wrong stop, but we sorted it out. Took the tube to Camden where our Hostel was, dropped our bags and went out to eat and drink. Had some fish and chips (ey, give us a break alright?) then went to the first bar. Gay night. We tried the next one. Cunt bouncer. Third one was alright! Had some beers and talked about our expectations. Good times!

     

    Thursday morning! After a night of extreme noise from the upstairs neighbors and extremely hot room we woke up too late to manage a shower. To "save money" we hadn't booked the room any longer. Friday was mostly spent walking around in Camden. Unbelievable how much shit you can sell in one place (I've been there before). We went to get our Shpongle & after party tickets, had a nice talk and mug of wine with the Old Indian Guy (OIG) selling them.

     

    It was getting dark and we started to move closer to Roundhouse, looking for a place to have beers. Had a beer someplace. Continued. We went inside the inspiral cafe for 15 minutes or so (in the basement). I didn't remember that was the place were some psynewsers were going to meet up. I do remember now afterwards that I must've seen yohankiwi, a guy with black and white pants (but no hat!). I didn't recognize the outfit as a "jester" so I didn't connect the dots. :P I wonder how many Pienewsers I saw in there. We then went to another bar were my friend's friends were drinking (also going to the concert/afterparty). Had a fun time there, with some nice girls serving in the bar!

     

    Around 20:00 it was finally Shpongle time! Once you got past all the "tickets, tickets for tonight"-guys the queue moved quite fast. No illegal substances on me so doggy didn't pay me any attention and we were inside! Went straight to the main floor and waited while listening to Younger Brother.

     

    Most of you have heard the concert already so you kinda knew how it was, not a very good singer, but otherwise awesome! :D Chills down my spine many times! Ahhhh! I'll just leave it at the right now. :D

     

    One thing that bothered me the people booing when there wasn't any extra number. Wtf?

     

    We decided to go grab some food and just chill for a few hours after Shpongle, hoping to avoid a queue at the afterparty. Said and done we were upstairs at this really chill asian place. After a couple of hours we decided to find the afterparty. No tube, all closed down. The streets looked like mayhem. Drunk halloween people everywhere. We asked our way around and after some trouble with catching the bus together we were all gathered at king's cross. With our spirits high we walked to Scala only to be greeted by this ridiculous queue! It wasn't moving at all! So we went and talked with the bouncer and said we had electronic tickets and we were in immediately. Just like that. 5 seconds of queue time! :blink: I kinda felt bad about it afterwards because everyone I talked with had been in that fucking queue for 1-2 hours.

     

    When I got in I noticed a guy standing in the stairs ahead of me. I immediately recognized this guy in a jacket and hat as traveler from behind. I don't know how I could that. I had a nice 20 second conversation (in English and Finnish) with this glass eyed man before I had to move on. :lol: Friendliest face I have seen! That baby face together with those blue eyes.

     

    Had a great time at the party. Talked with people from all around the world. Green Nuns and X-Dream were niiiice! :D Stayed there until we were thrown out when they closed at 6. Spent the morning walking around trying to find a place to sleep. We went down to the tube and considered crashing in the circle line, just going round, round for 5 hours. But after a while, one of mine friend had enough and called her sister who found us a hotel by Hyde Park where you could check in immediately. Slept there for 8-9 hours before checking out. This was when my friend was starting to feel sick. He threw up 3 times in the tube. Nice. Finally we just said fuck this and bought bus tickets to the airport (the train tracks were flooded anyway). Arrived 23:00 at the airport with 8 hours to go until the plane would take off. It was pretty nice just try to sleep in the airport. I like airports. My friend puked on the airplane too. Awesome.

     

    Hope you all had a great time!

    Shpongle - I Am You

    While lsitening to this it seems to be authentic yes. And also yes it wounds very nice. BUt it's very hard to tell since the bad sound quality, impossible to hear out the details. Another note, what's with the talking on the second track? I hope that won't be figuring on the forthcoming album. Anyways, other news for you that don't know, if you haven't got a ticket for Shpongles sold out consert on October 31th, then you will still be able to see it streamed LIVE from their website. I'm sure am booked with chips and dips for last day of October now!

    I'll remember to wave hi to you. :P

    We now have 5 tracks underway.... only one i am happy with, the one with all the recordings i made in india... the others vary from needing a mix, to needing a full re-work... we will be playing 4 of them at the roundhouse, where they will probably sound very different from what they will end up as, on the album.

    The problem is trying to get Raj and myself in the studio at the same time..... we might be able to get a few days in december.... but it will be hard to get it done before next summer - that is when we are aiming for, however... the 3rd Younger Brother album will also be recorded during this time....

    A good track will take 2 weeks of working from midday til 3 or 4 am every day... a crappier one will take a week...

    So far it seems to be a good balance between Are you Shpongled, with some of those older moods and atmospheres... with some of the live playing of Tales of the Inexpressible... and some of the pyrotechnics of Nothing Lasts... but all more modern sounding.

    As for a title, we don't have a lot of track names.... but for the album we like the word 'ineffable'.... i'm thinking "Ineffable Mysteries of ShpongleLand" or something....

    Thanks for bearing with us!

    love

    Ah interesting. Too bad it will take a while. But better it takes a while than a crappy album!

     

     

     

    On another note, I'm also kinda looking for a place to sleep the first night (Oct 30th) for me and my friend. Could be a sofa or mattress on the floor. Doesn't really matter since it's just that night and we'll be out of your hair. :P
