TYVEC!!





Have we gone mad or what?

Maureen Tucker-style drumming - a guaranteed win chéz Marras.

Is this you making fun of Tyvec or what?

Careful.

It's a comment on the fact that you love that sort of drumming - you know, knife-in-the-back, play-like-a-railway style.

You are quite right about that. My favourite styles of drumming are either super-simple, primitive playing, or super insane a la Corsano. I like other styles too, but those two are favourites.

I've been thinking lately that it almost doesn't matter what the rest of the band does, it's all about the rhythm section. Incidentally, I play drums Maureen Tucker-style, except more jazz.

I tend to agree with that, in that rhythm sections can totally dictate when a song can suddenly turn to more interesting directions. Also, drums are generally the first thing I tend to hear in a song. With Tyvec I was won over the first time I heard 'Air Conditioner'. You can't ignore the fact that the drums are the greatest thing about that song. Unoriginal maybe, but certainly effective.

Yeah, Air Conditioner is my favourite song by them... but Tyvec? Tyvek? Tyvjk?

There's a European tour coming up with Cheveu pretty soon, should be good.

isn't it tyvek?

It is indeed Tyvek, I always make that spelling mistake somehow. Which colour do you two prefer your hats to be?

Hah, when I read sarram's first post I figured Tyvec would just be another spelling they're using these days, like Tyvjk or TVK.

They're not allowed to call themselves Tyvek anymore, because it's a copyrighted name. It's mentioned in this interview:

i have no prefrence for colour, my favourite hat is red though.

I don't have any hats, but my favourite colour is green... dunno if that would make a good hat colour though.

Never heard of this group, but the one guy in that pic looks like he's vomiting white light...

And red it will be, then. Any preferences when it comes to the font I'll use for the writing?

Tyvek? I saw them with Vivian Girls when they came here. Solid stuff. Bought 2 of their "cds"...cd-rs with taped paper covering them.

Does anyone else see 'solid' as a bit of an insult?

I don't get it when people describe a song as 'delicious'. It's as gay as a wedding cake.
