BARE FOOT TEASER

TRANSLATION

Here's 2 versions of the japanese blog piece translated. they made us chuckle.

"I had known OLO Worms have been recording some songs for their new album and I wanted to get it whatever it was released in any way and any format. How fantastic it will be released from Fence Records! OLO Worms have members have great talent. They broadcast their podcasts called OLO radio, paints some paintings which are full of talent, and shoots some videos through years! I couldn't take my eyes off the boys from Bristol... the news is really fantastic and make me excite. They have been taken up in Guardian and Pitchfork, and I've been looking forward to them after that. Anyway, you also have to check them out."

"Having known, being release in whatever kind of way, you probably will buy, that however it is to think, how release calls that olo worms has done the recording of the album from Fence Records! In any case スゴイ! So far, Podcasts, it makes the discharge of untreated effluent, the artist and call does the member who does not enter being, there is a painting which we would like to think, that talent it overflows, there is an image. In any case, the Bristol departure however it is not to be possible to separate the eye from them, this it sets the ちゃ oral ゃ is enormous! A little before being picked up Guardian and Pitch Fork something, however after that it is to have enjoyed, you can show the following hand in such a way, because with you did not think, considerable."

my favourite quote.."I couldn't take my eyes off the boys from Bristol" ha!
thanks to Kuny and Anonymous for translating them.

失礼!独断と偏見!! GENKI!? HI!

Blogageddon! We have turned up on a Japanese music blog..i think it's called 'Follow The Sun'? Here's the direct link to us.

She writes..
"Olo Worms がアルバムのレコーディングをしていたのは知っていて、どんな形でのリリースであっても買おうと思っていたのだけれど、なんとリリースは Fence Recordsからという!とにかくスゴイ!これまでPodcastsをタレ流しにしてきたり、画伯と呼ばすにはいられないメンバーがいて、才能溢れると思いたいペインティングがあったり、映像があったり。とにかくブリストル発な彼らから目を離すことができなかったのだけれど、これはめちゃくちゃすごい!少し前にはGuardianやPitch Forkなんかでも取上げられていて、その後を楽しみにしていたのだけれど、こんな形で次の手を見せられるとは思っていなかっただけにかなりのコーフン"

I couldn't agree more.

MOVIES, GAMES, & VIDEOS

Tomorrow morning we start work on the 17 videos for each of the tracks on 'BARE FOOT'. How long will this take? God knows! BUT IT WILL..*wait there*..HAPPEN! You'll be able to get the DVD off us when it's done (see you down the boot sale with pirates). We are shooting the 1st one upside down. It's an early start..breakfast shall be served in woollen jumpers..

Below is a photo of Delifinger, Child, & I 'on set' during filming for a short film we made called '5 Flavours' a few years back. I'm embarrased to say it was probably the last time i filmed anything..well finished filming anything. I have no excuses now, i just bought a 320GB hard drive.


In other news..we are painting the album cover on sunday before church.

IT'S BETTER TO CALL THEM AN ENTITY (Rather Than A Band)

We got a little mention on a music blog called DrunkenWerewolf the other day. Here's the direct link to the post.

she writes..
"The songs they post and occassionally make are typical of the innovative-but-we-still-sound-like-we-might-be-wearing-cardigans or otherwise-we-definitely-have-a-strange-fixation-with-under-water-creatures indie that hides in the South West".

MUNDANE MOMENTS (I Am The Victim)


I've not punched many of these keys recently, been tired, been napping on the sofa wrapped in my tiger rug. Ok, so..over the last few weeks i..

* Went on a great, great, great adventure! We drove to BIG Asda Price (wow!) for food (yes really) and to Toys 'R Us (wooo!) to look for a flying spaceship that my housemate insisted on having. They didn't have one. We then were forced to go to 3 different Woolworths to try and find it. They didn't have it either. So we bought crates of Stella and drove home (sober and somber).

* Along with some friends i took a bit of a beating at the end of a recent night out. No real reason for it of course. The poor chap had to take some of his anger out on someone, i was one of the lucky punchbags. I lost my keys, bank cards, and phone while scrambling around of the ground. i ran home..ha! I've been involved in soo many of these random handshakes i'm thinking about starting a scrap book.

* Had my right arm biten off by a crocodile in a nightclub.

* Had my shirt ripped and a drink spat in my face by a charming young lady. It may have had something to do with the fib above. Why people so angry?

* Saw Spiderman waiting for a haircut in a barbers.

* Embarrassed myself in front of a housemate's mum. "Jaaames!! Is this your POO that STINKS down here!?" i yelled as i skipped downstairs not knowing she was at the bottom of the stairs with the door open "Oh don't mind me, i was just listening to the birds".

* Saw a blue haired girl carrying a mermaid with no nose.

* Panicked when i spilt ketchup on my shorts minutes before the cops came knocking at my door (to interview me about the beating i took the night before). would they believe it was red sauce? or BLOOD from another crime? worry not, they were late and i changed into joggers.

* Have been listening to our little album while driving round Bristol and Bath. It's quite good with the window down and the wind in your hair.

* Have surprized myself by surviving without the sat nav i had been carrying around for the last few months.

* Saw 2 people with 1 arm each within an hour.

IT'S A WRAP!


Here is the poster i made (in 10 minutes, can you tell?) for the OLO champagne reception wrap party we had in honour of completing the mini album. i have to make a poster now for EVERYTHING i do. you should see the one i made for yesterday's Asda shop!

CARRY ON OLO

We really wanna make a 'Carry On' style film in the future..yes we do. this will have to do for now. below are some HILARIOUS videos filmed over the last week or so. watch those sides, they may just split!!

*WARNING* the videos are actually boring, self-indulgent, and totally pointless.





This is X rated!!..







More of these can be found HERE. How many can you take?

DESERT ISLAND DISCS DJ NIGHT

We played some of our favourite tunes past and present at the Hillgrove pub (Bristol) as part of their 'Desert Island Discs' series the other night. i'm not gonna go typing of lists of songs played or anything but i will tell you the last three sent the crowd (one man, blind dog) WILD!!

Michael Jackson 'Earth Song'
Paul Williams (Bugsy Malone Soundtrack) 'You Give A Little Love'
Heino 'Ay Ay Ay'

Thanks to those who came around. stupidly i forgot to take any photos til we left..
