The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster @ The Cockpit. Leeds 01/08/07Hurray. The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster are back after a two year sabbatical following their departure from island records. GIITTV’s Anne-Marie Douglas had a good old chat with them in the dressing rooms at The Cockpit. Leeds mid-way through their ‘In the Garden’ EP Tour discussing festivals mash potato and the new EP to the etiquette in men’s urinals voodoo festivals and Yorkshire day!AMD - Hey how are you all? How’s the tour going you’re about mid-way through now?TEMBD - Yeah it’s going well. It’s good to be back on the road basically it’s cool. There’s loads of people it’s good that after all this time…the last time we toured was over two years ago and just that so many people are still bothered to turn up we’re still playing sold out shows and people seem to be really into it. AMD - You’ve said in a previous interview that you like playing in the North because people are always up for a good knee’s up so you’ll be looking forward to the Leeds crowd then?TEMBD - Yeah we are yeah. AMD - And its Yorkshire Day today…TEMBD - Yorkshire Day! What’s that then?AMD - I’m not entirely sure what it means the crowds here tend to shout ‘Yorkshire’ whatever the day!TEMBD - Oh not Lancashire then. I’ll tell my girlfriend she’ll be pissed off its Yorkshire Day! There’s a bit of healthy rivalry there…I think if you started a band in the North though it’d be quite a different experience you know. AMD - Has the new material from the EP had a good reaction from crowds on this tour? TEMBD - Yeah. I think everyone is pleased we’re back on the road new EP and that it shows in the performance. The new EP is available to download now and its out in the shops the first week in September. AMD - The release date was delayed what caused the delay?TEMBD - Just one of those thingsAMD - I love the tour pictures on MySpace they really capture the atmosphere they’re all on stage though there’s no off stage pictures of the tour so what I’d like to know is is it true ‘what goes on on tour stays on tour?’TEMBD - Well nothing goes on nothing goes on! Well all the usual stuff that goes on in a young mans life goes on…bands who think it’s cool to talk about that kind of stuff are shallow really it’s just a bit of bravado. I mean to be honest. I don’t think I’ve ever been on tour when I’ve not had a girlfriend and I’ve been well behaved. I’ve always told my girlfriend everything it’s an awful thing to cheat it just ruins lives. I hope I’ll never do it again like well you know. AMD - Is it like the thing though if it goes on in another country it doesn’t count?TEMBD - No! That’s just bollocks it’s like if you’re badly behaved and deceitful you know; then that’s what happens. I think the thing with us and ‘what happens on tour stays on tour’ is more the mania and the mental breakdown; it’s the cabin fever and the out of character behaviour. Its more the bands that have never taken drugs before or been laid before they get really excited because they can you know but also we have to sort of play it down because we don’t really get any groupies… AMD - Soooo who’ve you been listening to on the tour bus?TEMBD - It’s a van just a van! Joy Division. Radio 2.. oh that reminds me. I forgot to listen to desert island discs cos we always get asked that question so I thought I’d better become acquainted with it…AMD - So did you plan your listening beforehand?TEMBD - Yeah I did. Stooges. Joy Division the Donnie Darko soundtrack we also play a bit of Dead Kennedy’s. AMD - I love those guys. TEMBD - And The Cramps as well we’ve been getting into The Cramps recently. AMD - Well you’ve been compared to them…TEMBD - Yeah so we thought we’d better check them out!AMD - I saw you at Leeds Festival a few years running though admittedly it’s a bit of a blur…TEMBD - Was it the one with the horns?AMD - I don’t know anything about horns! One time may have been Reading…you played Lost Vagueness this year at Glastonbury how was that?TEMBD - It was really good the best festival experience I’ve ever had actually. AMD - Did you stay for the whole weekend?TEMBD - Yeah cos I haven’t been to a festival as a punter since I was erm well yeah it was good amazing it was like being on Mars; it was a very muddy and magical time. AMD - Have you been there before?TEMBD - well yeah we played there on the Other Stage a few years back well were all there and not there!AMD - I went to the Secret Garden Party festival last weekend and it was the best festival I have ever been to. TEMBD - Oh yeah a friend of mine went there and that’s what she said as well everybody was on acid weren’t they?AMD - Yes yes they were! So where would your dream venue to play be? Anywhere…TEMBD - erm. Penrith. Oh I know. The Crow from Withnail and I AMD - hmmm another thing I’d like to know is what that all about a free Ouija board with the ‘In the Garden’ EP? I was really intrigued by that it might get you in some trouble I’m thinking?TEMBD - but they might be quite glad…AMD - well yeah but whose idea was it?TEMBD - well I think its like you don’t operate machinery when you’re drunk so you should never play with a ouija board when sober it’s the same principle really. AMD - so what are you saying that you need to be shitfaced to operate a Ouija board or shitfaced to listen to your music?TEMBD - no not at all definitely not our music is well just take it as it comes take it easy baby. It’s a nice piece of artwork and I wouldn’t ever dabble in the dark arts or encourage anyone to do so. For the next one we’re thinking of giving away like a voodoo head or something. AMD - How’ve things developed since your departure from Island?TEMBD - Well slowly but surely I’ve found it’s taken us a while to get to where we are now. We’ve done so much writing we’ve got about three albums worth and during the past two years or more we’ve discarded so many tunes and I think if we’d stayed on that label or if we’d signed with another label straight away the album we could have or would have released then would have been rubbish. It’s like having all this time has enabled us to develop a sound that we’re happy with and generally right good songs. Personally I think the past two years of struggle has been a good slap round the face and I’ve been able to rediscover the music and get to know myself again and being in a band so yeah. I’d say it’s one of the greatest things that ever happened to me. AMD - Will some of that material end up on an album then or b-sides?TEMBD- yeah b-sides and albumAMD - I read about Sym getting lost in America and I was thrilled about this…TEMBD - Thrilled? Well it’s alright for you love! AMD - Well yeah it was fascinating all the different sightings of him that were posted on My Space it was really funny! I was excited how did he get back in the end? He did get back? This isn’t a pretend Sym?TEMBD - You were excited?! That’s a good question actually! We never really though of that. But yeah there were sightings of Sym with Richey Manic having a few drinks in Goa and some in Thailand.. AMD - Yeah there was stuff on there saying that you weren’t going to come back!TEMBD - Well. I just lost my passport really!AMD - But it’s easy to get them to sort another one. I think you just wanted to stay lost?TEMBD - Well I did that’s what I did! I was only there for like another 32 hours or something…AMD - Is that all? 32 hours? That’s rubbish! You could’ve been gone 32 days. 32 weeks?!TEMBD - Well yeah but I was on my own and I didn’t have any money. AMD - What’s your opinion of music reviewers? Have you ever hunted one down or do you not give a shit what they write really?TEMBD - No bad press is good press well I think being a critic has got to be the biggest blag ever. It’s with all due respect just your opinion so if you can get paid or have people read or listen to what you say about something and them take it seriously then that’s quite lucky for you. AMD - Maybe the trick is not to take it all too seriously…TEMBD - Well you can’t. I mean there was this guy from a newspaper who spent an afternoon with us and seemed alright but then what he wrote wasn’t really that objective you know which was fair enough but it was kind of personal you know and I just thought well why didn’t you just act like a nob to us at the time and then we could’ve had an arm wrestle or something and you know he could’ve written about that and it would’ve been more interesting. AMD - And did you say anything to him?TEMBD - Well no he’d gone he’d written the review and we read it afterwards in the paper so…AMD - you should’ve been able to respond really. TEMBD - well there could’ve been an address that you could send hate mail to. Well unfortunately too many people do believe what they read in the press so irrespective if you’re reading between the lines so whether or not you’re getting good press or bad press. I think people take it all too seriously don’t they. AMD - This next question isn’t really in keeping with the band I’ve met so far but I’ll ask it anyway. I’ve heard tell from some local bands that have met you on tour before that you to put it politely like to ‘party’ would this be an accurate description or a gross misrepresentation of your characters going back to what you were saying earlier that you’re more well behaved it’s probably not true is it?TEMBD - To be honest we go out of our minds anyway we may go through a phase of complete hysteria and it all depends on what day of the week it is. AMD - What about this tour then; In comparison with other tours?TEMBD - I think this is the least of everything tour we’ve showered the least we’ve slept the least done everything the least. I think if we were in a staying awake competition we’d probably win hands down. AMD - I don’t think you’d beat me. TEMBD - We’d try! We beat Keith Richards we stayed up for four months. The point is it’s not something we’re really proud about. AMD - It’s not big and it’s not hard. AMD - I looked on your forum today and you seem to have some very dedicated fans apparently you have a ‘cult’ following in the South?! Do you have any good stalker stories? There are people on your forum going to a few of your gigs on this tour…TEMBD - Not any particular ones really. I think people find us hard to approach or something because we don’t get anything especially manic in either direction but there was this French fan who’d like arranged a four course meal with dessert and everything and we didn’t know her we’d never met well we met her before once but we didn’t know her and we’d never arranged to go round there and she never told us she was cooking…she gave us a nice spoon!AMD - A spoon?TEMBD - Yeah it was a silver spoon rock n roll with gravy AMD - How close are you all? If you do fall out who cries who sulks and who storms off?TEMBD - We do all of those things!AMD - What about?TEMBD - Well you know if you’re drunk or tired collectively really though the amount of time we’ve spent with each other and the amount of arguments we’ve had have been pretty small really. I’ve argued with girlfriends much more. I think we get on quite good. AMD - What’s your plans for next year? Album. Touring?TEMBD - Oh yeah all of those things. AMD - Are you doing any more festivals this year?TEMBD - Well probably not well we’d have liked to but they’re all booked at the beginning of the year so…but this is like a festival isn’t it. Yorkshire Day!

I mean there was this guy from a newspaper who spent an afternoon with us and seemed alright but then what he wrote wasn’t really that objective you know which was fair enough but it was kind of personal you know and I just thought well why didn’t you just act like a nob to us at the time and then we could’ve had an arm wrestle or something and you know he could’ve written about that and it would’ve been more interesting. AMD - And did you say anything to him?TEMBD - Well no he’d gone he’d written the review and we read it afterwards in the paper so…AMD - you should’ve been able to respond really. TEMBD - well there could’ve been an address that you could send hate mail to. Well unfortunately too many people do believe what they read in the press so irrespective if you’re reading between the lines so whether or not you’re getting good press or bad press. I think people take it all too seriously don’t they. AMD - This next question isn’t really in keeping with the band I’ve met so far but I’ll ask it anyway. I’ve heard tell from some local bands that have met you on tour before that you to put it politely like to ‘party’ would this be an accurate description or a gross misrepresentation of your characters going back to what you were saying earlier that you’re more well behaved it’s probably not true is it?TEMBD - To be honest we go out of our minds anyway we may go through a phase of complete hysteria and it all depends on what day of the week it is. AMD - What about this tour then; In comparison with other tours?TEMBD - I think this is the least of everything tour we’ve showered the least we’ve slept the least done everything the least. I think if we were in a staying awake competition we’d probably win hands down. AMD - I don’t think you’d beat me. TEMBD - We’d try! We beat Keith Richards we stayed up for four months. The point is it’s not something we’re really proud about. AMD - It’s not big and it’s not hard. AMD - I looked on your forum today and you seem to have some very dedicated fans apparently you have a ‘cult’ following in the South?! Do you have any good stalker stories? There are people on your forum going to a few of your gigs on this tour…TEMBD - Not any particular ones really. I think people find us hard to approach or something because we don’t get anything especially manic in either direction but there was this French fan who’d like arranged a four course meal with dessert and everything and we didn’t know her we’d never met well we met her before once but we didn’t know her and we’d never arranged to go round there and she never told us she was cooking…she gave us a nice spoon!AMD - A spoon?TEMBD - Yeah it was a silver spoon rock n roll with gravy AMD - How close are you all? If you do fall out who cries who sulks and who storms off?TEMBD - We do all of those things!AMD - What about?TEMBD - Well you know if you’re drunk or tired collectively really though the amount of time we’ve spent with each other and the amount of arguments we’ve had have been pretty small really. I’ve argued with girlfriends much more. I think we get on quite good. AMD - What’s your plans for next year? Album. Touring?TEMBD - Oh yeah all of those things. AMD - Are you doing any more festivals this year?TEMBD - Well probably not well we’d have liked to but they’re all booked at the beginning of the year so…but this is like a festival isn’t it. Yorkshire Day!

"The B Line gets slower" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-30 18:56:02

If you haven’t traveled along the B lie through the already impossibly sluggish be through BU recently you might be surprised (or not) to learn that the already tiresome journey now takes just a little bit longer than it used to. I can say that lately I’ve noticed a rather remarkable degree of yawing in the articulated sections of Breda trolleys as they go across the bridge along with broken concrete around the tracks. This is a problem that should have been addressed long before the annual influx of students as their arrival makes any possible maintenance shutdown a very unattractive look. Did anyone else sight that this speed reduction near the BU bridge coincided almost exactly with the bridge change in Minnesota? Personally if this connect is going to collapse. I would like if the trolley got off of it as soon as possible rather than going at walking speed over it for five minutes tempting fate.

"Dear, Sweet Translink" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-09-17 13:49:04

HI! How are you? Congratulations on your yesterday! Maybe this is because things were actually exceed and maybe it’s because you’ve been crowing desire a doom-dealing raven for a month about how we should Expect Delays on The First Day of School and we should Plan Our Trips Accordingly. Either way all the populate on the news seemed really pleased with your service. Of cover all the populate on the news were at Broadway and Commercial riding your Golden Child the 99 B-Line. I undergo no quarrel with the 99 B-Line. I undergo taken it. It is a fine bus. It gets places abstain and is rarely discourteous. fear Aardvark takes the B-Line every day as part of his three-pronged approach to work commuting and he has never complained about it. My quarrel. Translink is with your insistence that you can only act your 99 B-Line happy with additional buses. The B-Line must feed feeeeeeeed on the buses from other lines. A few weeks ago I waited 20 minutes for the 135 that runs along Hastings Street. The week previous a 135 came along every 5 minutes. While I bumped along crushed against my fellow passengers I overheard this transfer: Fellow passenger who was at the bus stop before me: So busdriver wassup with the desire act for the bus?Busdriver: Hmmmm. Don’t experience?Passenger: Usually the 135 comes every 5 minutes. today it was half an hour! And it’s a short bus! (not a real bunco bus but as opposed to the “articulated” buses with the accordian pleats in the middle)Busdriver: come up I experience they took all the accordian buses off this route so they could go onto the 99 B-Line routePassenger: OhBusdriver: Yeah but the buses should be running as frequently. They just you experience won’t hold as many populate so maybe more populate will be waiting for the next one. Passenger: Oh. Or how about yesterday. Translink when I went to my usual bus forbid after dropping Trombone at daycare. Every tuesday and thursday I act this bus at 7:40 am. Yesterday it didn’t go. No. I didn’t desire it. I know because I walked to the next bus forbid and there were all the populate who usually get on the 7:40 bus waiting smoking fuming. Is it a coincidence that buses are mysteriously disappearing from suburban routes while the B-Line grows fat and accomplished? Your success story but at whose depreciate? exploit and my suburban compatriots. Here’s how it looks to me: urban dwellers who have the choice of this that or the other bus or a cheap go ride or a vigorous go or make pass; they get more buses. Suburban dwellers the ones you are simultaneously trying to woo out of their vehicles who depend on one particular bus whose taxi go would be exorbitant who wouldn’t be able to go or make pass to bring home the bacon without a) taking 2 hours to do it and b) risking their lives on the highway who pay more for their fares because they have to travel multiple “zones;” they get fewer and more irregular buses. I came up with a great idea for you yesterday. Because I don’t expect you to ever actually answer the suburbs (”we gave you a skytrain what the hell else do you want?”) I would acknowledge some kind of registration system at your website. Transit users would write up if they wanted to. They could enter in their normal routes. “Hi. I’m Cheesefairy and I take the 155 on Wednesday mornings the 135 on Monday and Friday mornings and the 112 on Tuesday and Thursday mornings.” (Dear readers: please don’t walk me) You hold on it away in your database. Then if you ever decide to dress the routing you displace me an telecommunicate. YOU don’t even undergo to do anything. Your COMPUTER can do it for you. “Dear Cheesefairy. You have registered with Translink as a regular rider of the 112. Just a say to let you experience that we are canceling the 7:40 bus for the month of September. Suck it.” See? All that waiting I did yesterday (let’s not address the 30 minutes sitting on the skytrain yesterday afternoon at Waterfront displace because that wasn’t your fault) gave me measure to evaluate fabulous thoughts! Anyway Translink be real. You know I undergo no choice but to use you because if I had to drive downtown every day I would die by Christmas of apoplexy. Apoplexy - I had to be that one up twice as the Oxford American Dictionary widget supplied with my macbook sucks non-royal a$$. Therefore. I searched for it against dictionary com which is a conglomeration of several other American dictionaries which finally gave me the say - a touch (in laypersons’ terms). BTW do you undergo a Canadian on-line compose to overlap?I can understand your frustration having done the change commute to the suburbs for nearly a year with hours of waiting during the pass months. I feel for you.
