Field Recordings no. 1

More recordings from the field in Cork.

First is a great discussion between a couple in the Atlantic Homecare, Blackpool, Cork, about converting inches to feet and whether to check the B&Q sale or not.

The poor man can't handle the browbeating, but the poor woman can't seem to get him interested.
Similar scenes were repeated across the super store.
My dad says the anomie is caused by women encroaching into a traditionally male domain.
More power to them, says I.

Next we have great rock pub Fred Zeppelin's. One of the best pubs of it's type that I've ever been in.
Constantly in flux, yet always the same, almost a metaphor for metal itself.
Recorded, is a nice panoramic hubbub of chatter from just before the gig, you can make out details from a few different conversations happening simultaneously.

Soon the bombastic intro music for local metal heros, Flatline, strikes up.
As I had just seen the documentary "Metal" which heavily featured Megadeth, I found their good natured Mustaineisms not unagreeable.

Saturday Bikecore

Saturday daytime:
A wander in the sun led to a chance encounter and hear tell of
this rock camp for girls in Cottbus in August.

Saturday afternoon studio:



Saturday night this new pal invited us to this Commodore 64 Lounge, where this lady was playing.

There were lots of computers:





some split screens:





At times I felt like Whoopi Goldberg in Jumping Jack Flash:




Games were played:






and then Bikecore herself took the stage. Before she started, I was a little overwhelmed by waves of commodore nostalgia, but she immediately grabbed attention with her bounce and her sounds and her singing. The set was all too short and left me in the mood for more and for mischief. If only she would sing me to sleep over a soothing wash of 8bit sounds...
