P.S. How's my compilation tape coming along Emily?

Pip Kicker here. I recently dicovered an oily green bag in my hardware box and I wasn't sure what it was. I thought it was my grandads old kit bag, but it contained drum sticks. Then I noticed a magpies keyring also within. Do I have your drummers stickbag? If so I'll bring it along tomorrow for the Windmill showdown, ala Don Quixote!

Hello everyone, listened to the giraffe album and it reminded me that I met you the other week... ahem.
Took the Volvo to the car wash today, but it's still got bird poo on it. Do you guys still have the post tour blues? Missing you all, kisses and stuff, Cx

There is a review of 'The Melancholy Death of The Chemistry Experiment' here: www.friendsoftheheroes.co.uk

looke here... http://www.americanbooze.co.uk/ATP2005/ATP.html

are these chemistry chaps actually going to do something?

Dear Mister Stephen Chemistry Experiment,

You bruised my chin and I will have my revenge.

Love from Jaynie

Goshawks circle overhead, impending doom; Tom Waits beckons me to be, like him, real gone. And the drummer drums.

would any of you happen to know the nutritional value of fingernails?

anybody seen my whippet?

Hi man, I'm trying to write a concept album but I can't seem to find inspiration. Got any advice?

christ, sigh of relief...
feels like small chapter of my life is finally closing.
the album is fin-ish-ed.
been with you lot for a long time... better get my skates on & finish my record......

hey, we're all going folky..... weird synchronisation or summat...

see you all on the 18th. by the way, they've billed you as the 'chemistry equiptment' on the ticket. but then they spelled dev banharts name wrong a few weeks ago.. fuckin' simpletons

love you all

just to let anyone know. people will be hearing the chemistry experiment during my dj set tonight in brixton.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEVEN!!

hai...i am lookin for some information......becoz i need it to do my report...

thank you, gemma

Really like the taster cd of the new album!
Can't wait to hear the rest of it!

thank you, sharon.

martin

Hi all... met Martin in Nottingham recently and was fortunate to get a copy of the album, I was listening to it yesterday as I was putting on me make up and was pleasantly suprised and even impressed by the album..... the soulful vocals reminded me of someone I'd heard before, but couldn't put me finger on.Will probably come to me at 3 o'clock one morning, and when it does I'll come back and say who.
All in all a stunning, chilled and mellow offering from the Chemistry Experiment, and I look forward very much to hearing more from them.

Do these fools really think twee indie fuckers are gonna check out skincare websites. Bewildering.

who's that geet ugly get on the 'road movie'?

dear mr kirk,

really love the new studio beard, could you cut a little of it off & mail it to me so that some of its magic may possibly rub off on my pathetic attempts to record my album

please?

pretty please with sugar on top?

i suppose you thought it would be funny

love danielx.

oh for christs sake, are you still recording the album?
why dont you start snorting snuff again like back there in the summer of 99 or failing that i know a good crack dealer

sorry about the gripe, i love you all and please bring back the water percussion

Sorry I didn't make it down to ATP but I'm a working boy now. Oh yeah and the bill was shite. I probably won't catch up untill you decide to grace the Jug of Ale again. Make it soon.

hey guys, looking forward to the pram gig!
take a look at our website!

i didn't read the message right. sorry mark. the same question.

bleeaaargh

wow, john that's a shit load of gigs (as opposed to a load of shit gigs. why are you in london and have you found any icelandic delicatessens so you can stock up with rotten shark?

nauseous from nottingham

Nice to see the GIGS TO DATE bit kids, but PLEASE can you PLEASE get a gig in London PLEASE like really soon. I have lived here for FOUR WEEKS and have seen precisely ONE band, and they were from Derby anyway. More gigs now please, come SOUTH!

hi

Hello. Fancy coming up to [censored] and doing some kind of 'gig'? It's getting like post-rock and stadium rock are kinda the same thing - it's all 'spotlight on my delay pedal please - get your cock out' kinda thing.

I've got a band, we're celibate Marxist EQ-purists, and we'd like to play a gig with like-minded. I can provide young boys who dance and balance beer bottles on heads (if necessary). I am currently being chided because of my failure to enter the Daily Record "Big Break" talent contest, therefore allowing Kasino safe passage to the climactic stages.

Can I buy your record?

I like The Streets.

Hey Martin, in case you hadn't noticed apparently only four of us went to Glasgow too, and you were definitely one of them. So hmph to you too.

is it worth it? having just looked at the web-site photos of the junktion 7 gig where i broke new ground by postponing my first pint until 1a.m. and playing completely stone-cold sober fot the first time since i was about 15, i am horrified that there appear to be only FOUR members of the chemistry experiment. perhaps i wasn't there. perhaps i got too involved warching t.v. at home and the experience of playing a gig where we were asked for not one but two encores was merely the result of staying sober too long. i could always check my story with the taxi company who took me to J7' unless there is somebody who can verify that i was there.

imaginary drummer

iam well and truly pissed off - my additions to the live journal never get through. i'm quitting

i just cannot get anything on our diary page. i wanted to ask about whales' stools but, given that i cannot enrol to my own web-site, i will have to remain in the dark regarding the faeces of our larger maritime brethren. however, should anybody have some gems about whale diet and shite, i should be chuffed for some enlightenment.

vexed drummer(with an interest in baleinic bum produce)

I like doing experiment

i'm in at last

how come my messages never get through? like all that bollox about prometheus. are you trying to keep me out?

this is the first time i've tried anything like this. you are sure it's safe? i mean i won't get hooked or anything?only i've got enough trouble with the booze and all that

jimmy possession, chemistry experiment live review, careless talk #7:

'they probably play musical instruments with musical chairs if the glorious confusion of "the giraffe album" is anything to go by'

jimmy possession, wintergreen demo review, carless talk #7:

'it's radiohead caught with their pants down down in a primary school music room. it's not ok to be this confused'

hmm... if jimmy's not careful he'll only end up confusing himself

looking and sounding as good as ever i see. Can you please be christmas no.1?

Well your website is as good as your tunes...and i'm typing away with smiling fingers all because I decided to look at it! What an enjoyable few moments...hope to see you all so very soon...any trips to New Haven (famous destination for UK indie rock and rollers such as yourself) let me know so that I can make the trek up the highways and biways of the northern counties and come to see you strum your stuff and maybe shoot some stick in that back room where things go on that may or may not be illegal (I am not familiar with the statutes in New Haven)...but I'd really love to listen again to Ruby Don't Take Your Love To Town on Kenny Rogers greatest hits lp while drinking egg nog and liquor in the wee hours...i recently bought a copy of mel tillis singing that song...I also now have a Red Sovine version (Did you know he had a whole album entitled Ruby...) and I have a brilliant Roger Miller version of it too...wow...bye now
Love Tom Ferrie

cool site

Fantastic gig last night at the Social!!!
Well done and have another good one in Leeds.

I have been to every record shop in Sydney and cannot find a single copy of Round the corner dutch zebra. I suggest you speak with your distributors. Not that I'd be able to listen to it, not having a record player n'all, but the artwork looks nice and I could get it out and hold it and look at it once in a while like I do with all the other records I've bought out here. Today I bought a sound effects record which not only has the sound of Sputnik communicating but also a whole minute of a girl in the shower. I was listening to it in the shop but got all hot and bothered so I had to cool off to the sound of Maori war chants. Hope the new Prosco angle's going well.

bands wanted by new label with bases in London and North East. any type of music, as long as it's good.

please send demos (MD's, CD's Tapes (in that order of preference)) to

Hello, I like your website. I could never access it from my machine in Nottingham but now that I am millions of miles away I can see it just fine. Technology moves in mysterious ways. (As do seahorses. And God.)

The best thing about your website is the Road Movie. You all look lovely.

The best thing about Sydney is Queen Victoria's talking dog. Closely followed by all the skywriting. Skywriting is cool. I could watch them skywrite all day. It's probably a good thing that they never write anything interesting or important because if they did I would probably never want to leave here and also my neck might be broken.

I'm not coming home until March, so I hope you're holding back a copy of Corner the Round Dutch Zebra for me. I'm a bit of a Chemical Experiment completist, you know, and I'm a bit worried coz they must be selling like Rock! cakes.

Enjoy playing my old house this Saturday or whenever,
love Jefferson

yes, so will chemex ever play a gig at a convenient time?
grr, i cannot believe i missed you *twice*.

thank you, lee, for the copies of Round the corner dutch zebra, you made a dutch grannie very happy and proud.
at least i now i have something to show my grandchildren.

hello chemistry folks- dan and neil here, checking out your site. scotty is on his way, pete and jeff to arrive towmorrow. playing a couple of gigs this week, one in asbury park, then the bowery ballroom in new york, our biggest american gig yet, which isn't saying much. we continue to flounder here in the states, but look foward to returning for the month of september to your fantastic country. a few technical notes, we couldn't make it through the jervis storybook, after about 5 pages we got a blank one. we enjoyed the reconstruction of the nme review, big improvement. scott will be homeless by the end of the month, but is busy in the meantime recording varioius newhaven bands. we had a good time playing with sportique and tender trap recently. hope you kids are enjoying your summer, i spent fourth of july drinking rootbeer eating french fries and watching fireworks. summer is good. take care -neil

Well it's about bloody time! Have you noticed that you are all slowly starting to look the same? Concept Album sounds GRATE, but WHEN, eh? WHEN?

hello!
I think the seven inches are playing a gig with you guys in september in norwich! Should be good fun, and our first gig outside yorkshire (whoo hoo!)
best go and do some work...

Allo, it's AAA and we want that NME review of whatever it was you released a while back. Do you have a copy? Nice storybook.
Play in Moles again
Bye

The conventional wisdom, repeated in many textbooks, is that there are four primary tastes: salty, sour, sweet and bitter. Complex flavors are generally supposed to arise from a combination of these primary tastes, with the more subtle effects arising from olfaction.

There is a fifth taste, however, which is much less widely recognized. This is 'umami', better known in the west as monsodium glutamate (MSG). Umami was first identified as a taste in 1908 by Kikunae Ikeda of the Tokyo Imperial University. Ikeda, having been struck by the distinctive flavor of seaweed broth, isolated the molecule responsible for the flavor and showed that it was glutamate. Although taste researchers have known about Ikeda's work for decades, it is only recently that umami has gradually gained wider public recognition, probably because of the increasing popularity of Asian food.

At Camber sands, we had the pleasure of meeting Steve and Emily. We lived in the chalet above you and decided we will come and seek you at at the next gig you play.
Love and sparkle

excellent week stalking the band, hope the London gig went well.insulted that Steven didn't ask us for a light this time though! xxx the Shropshire kids (the dull ones)

Excellent gig at the Spitz last night. If you're interested I've posted up some photos from it at http://www.underexposed.org.uk
Hope to see you again.

Emily, is your mother able to actually drink from three cups at the same time, or does she drink them sequentially? Or even a sip at a time, each cup in turn? Whichever method she utilises, I fear that the total amount of caffeine is too much to imbibe in such a short time. Unless it's very weak tea...

Anyway, my main point - there's rumours of a gig featuring both the Periment and Sodastream in London. When are you going to put details on the site? Eh?

steven, why did you never call?
i had to drink at the bar at the airport
in awful nyc all by myself
.......is newhaven really so mystical?
the city that has charm the rest
of the world could never understand??
if you come to philadelphia,
i'll show you where the queen caught legionnaire's
disease and almost died.

and we can spit on all the flags.....

bit late and whatnot, but thanks again for having us and the grumpy canadians over for tea...

hello peoples!
sorry to be completely random but i just read your story of John Jervis visits Nottingham and was amused as my name is ...John Jervis! woo hoo (ok, i know simple things please simple minds).
See you later ladies and gents...

Oh, and in answer to the tea quandary- my mother uses the technique of drinking three cups at a time, so as not to be wasteful. Or possibly she's just strange, who can say?

I may well have snored, young man, but that could have something to do with the fact that I have an astonishingly awful cold, and cannot breathe when I am awake, let alone in slumber. So ner.

come and play in sheffield...we'll have fun honest! we came to Notttingham......obligation dictates the favour..come tommorow.... you spnielesss bastards....hehehe...realy ! come!

In answer to Carnarvon Blake's question of a couple of months back - it depends how soon afterwards you're likely to boil the kettle again. If that second lonely cup of tea is going to be made within half an hour or so, much of the heat will still be retained, and the kettle will even have worked more efficiently the first time it boiled due to the relative heat-loss properties of small and large bodies.

However (and you knew in your heart that there would be a "however", didn't you?) if the water will be cold again by the time you reboil it, then throwing away the electricity is more wasteful than throwing away the water (most of which will eventually be recycled). It's also worse for the environment.

I hope this quenches your knowledge thirst, and look forward to investigating future queries...

Hey hey peoples....cheers for putting us up on saturday night...I had mucho fun and mucho booze. Steve , I hope you liked the flowers, there were given with sincerity, so look after them. Emily....you snore....haha...but it was a good alarm system

you should have came to sheff last night....it was ace...excpet jonny elbowed me in the face during bearsuit....but apart from that we danced a plenty

See ya soon, kev *hugs and mwhas*

thanks for a great weekend in Leeds guys, shame my head was down the toilet when you were playing, but it was all worth the journey!
from the Shropshire kids

Steve/Paulo and your band of merry. When you have finished ur wussrawk fest on Saturday Lorna are playing the maze, maybe see u there! love mark

Hello Emily
Heather here (Tom's ex- booo hoooo). I was at a gig at Joseph's Well on Friday (some Muse-esque bollocks) and saw that yr playing there on Saturday, might have to pop down and relive my Comet Gain upbringing! Good luck with it,
h x

I dont want to be a partisan anymore, i'd prefer to sit down and watch the waves in the sky. Is that ok?

hello kids
steven track tells me we are playing nottingham with you (and ashley park)and that paul sorted it. was it you mr.paul? good skills sir! what/where's the venue and can we sleep morcombe and wise style X3 on your lovely sofa bed?
au revoir!
p.s.
lend us your glocks!

Howdy pardners, that was a BLOODY GRATE gig last night, i really really really enjoyed it. Also i spoke to an AMERICAN afterwards, aren't American's BRILLIANT? Anyway, i wanted to let you know that i had a STRANGE DREAM last night in which The Chemistry Experiment were managed by an over enthusiastic business consortium, many of whom had those round the mouth "muff beards" and very nice suits, and they were in talks with all sorts of important people to get you FAMOUS. It was really quite exciting. It WAS a dream, wasn't it?

it's nice to see real people signing the guestbook. for once. celebrity patronage is all well and good, but it's the common man that matters. keep the faith.

hello?
saw you once at bunjers. thought it was great!

mine likes fish and chips and is so fat.

If you accidentally overfill the electric kettle when you are alone and only want one cup of coffee, is it less wasteful of resources to pour water down the sink or to make the kettle heat all the water?

I am often alone when the kettle is boiling.

you have the best stuff page ever...
but have you any gigs coming up??

once steve pulled out a fistfull of his own hair and it got stuck to my leg. i've still got it, i keep it under my pillow.

Tali?

hello does anyone know where i can buy cockles from around here? its just there doesnt seem to be much water

you killed my brother. prepare to die.

the drummer is a foxy creature, for sure, but a foul mouthed little bastard with it.

i think the drummers a hot piece of stuff. when are you next playing lesbos? i'll get my string bag ready

wankers

rar!!

come on, ya bastards, i wanna play hollywood.

A message for the flute player: I saw your picture on Makeoutclub and I think you're really cute. Are you going to be playing Hollywood anytime soon?

you have a nice selection of tunes there miss emily and the boys. keep it up. good luck for paris date. lucky sods :)

chris the bar tender.

Hi Kids - i just got back to BLIGHTY to find all is WELL and the ALBUMS are with you - hope you are FLOGGING them aplenty, and that GIGS are going well, and hopefully seeee you at the AGM! HOORAH!

Are you still posting on A.M.R? I look forward to to hearing you on the 18th. The Essex Green and The Chemistry Experiment altogether in Bath (quickly followed by the legendary Lucksmiths no less) might prove a bit much though. We'll see.

Hey guys, I'm at SKOOL. I've just learnt to count to three, and we're moving on to the second half of the alphabet next week.

When are we making music, dammit?

Ken, you stuffy fuckwit, wok is your sodding problem?

DO YOU GET IT? WOK is your problem! DO YOU?

HA HA HA

Now piss off back to the bleeding kitchen and take a large slice of flesh off your minisule willy with a blunt, rusting cheese grater.

Why won't you play Bristol? I'm sick of being a provincial man in London.
