I'm intrigued, owning 3 copies of the original single, seeing the original band a number of times, meeting most of the major players in flying nun including Martin Phillips, and so on....Are you saying you played drums over Martyn Bull's original contributions? Or that Martyn Bull didn't play on it? Or that it wasn't recorded in Dunedin 1982 with 'extra noises recorded in 1984'? Or that your contributions were the extra noises???? Please tell. I own almost every early flying nun record and consider it one of the five or so finest moments. Franciselliott ( talk) 15:20, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
OK, this is the truth about The Chills session, as far as I can say, without written confirmation from Danny Hyde:
I was good friends with Alex Burak, who was the chief engineer at The Point Studio (see Andrew Edge) at 9 (? I think so) Eccleston Street, Victoria, London, from 1982 on. Rupert Merton owned the studio, who was also the publisher for the Thompson Twins, with whom I had played for a short time. Danny Hyde was the assistant engineer at The Point, and asked me to come down to the studio to "help out" some band he was working with. (I'm not sure if it was a paid job, because Danny was allowed free time as part of his low wage.) I recently asked Alex Burak about this, per e-mail, and he said it was a Danny Hyde session.
I think it was wintertime, or cold, because I remember looking over at (I wasn't really introduced, it was just a sort of Hi, I'm Martin etc.,) Phillips and someone else (sorry to forget) who were both wearing plaid-type overcoats, which were popular in London at the time. (The studio heating wasn't the best, as it was basically a barn attached to the back of Merton's offices: Latitude 51°29'39.10"N - Longitude 0° 8'52.83"W ) They both seemed quite shy, but friendly, BTW.
I played my silver Premier drum kit, but this is where it gets vague, because I definitely remember Martin with a guitar, but maybe he was just showing me the structure of the song (which was a bit different from other pop-rock stuff at the time). Anyway, I played about 5 or 6 takes of the song, with headphones on, of course, to listen to the track, and they accepted the last one. I don’t remember any vocals on it, which made me think it was an instrumental, and made it harder to know where I was in the structure. To be honest, I can't remember if I was paid, but if I was it must have been a "buy you a beer" kind of thing.
When I found The Chills' "Pink Frost" video on YouTube recently I was shocked, because I spotted my own drumming straightaway. I was very fond of The Police and Punk-pop drummers back then, so the rolling '16' fills on the toms and offbeat reggae-type cymbal crashes were something I used to do, as well as the pounding bass drum, which was always popular; bands not having very big PAs back then.
As a laugh, I can tell you that there are one or two points where I missed a cymbal but didn’t say anything, as I only wanted them to say "Yes, that'll do", and get out of that dingy cold room. I can look at the video and tell you exactly where, if you want :) Another point is that I was a bit bored in the solo (or the long thingy near the end, in my opinion) which I thought was too long, so I switched to ride cymbal halfway through. I still remember thinking that, believe it or not.
Maybe the basic tracks were recorded in Dunedin and more were added in London, but I must be the "extra noises" (crash, bang, wallop, thud) that they recorded in London. Not being credited on the single is sad, but that happened a lot back then. (I once recorded a track for Julian Cope, and his management took a whole year to pay me :)
A New Zealander called Craig (tall, blond) later worked as the road manager with a band I was in, Savage Progress, and he worked with Flying Nun Records for awhile while he was/still is? living in London. He might be able to confirm this, as he was around at the time, although not at the session. I remember him taking me to a few pub gigs with New Zealand bands in 1984. I apologise to Craig for forgetting his second name.
That’s all I can say. :)-- andreasegde ( talk) 16:01, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
P.S., I have thought more about this, and I remember asking why they didn't have a drummer (you ask these sorts of questions just to create small talk) and I think they said something about a Visa, or the lack of one :) I could be wrong, because maybe Martyn was ill, but that's what I remember.-- andreasegde ( talk) 20:12, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
As you know, wikipedia is made of verifiable statements. Since I have 3 verifiable lists of Bull as the drummer (single, kaleidoscope world and the rip it up interview), I am on the case for an alternative point of view. Roger Shepherd first point of call. I'll get back later. Franciselliott ( talk) 09:20, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
As it was so long ago I am not interested in upsetting the apple cart, or showing any disrespect to Martyn Bull, but it would be nice to have an old memory of mine confirmed at last. :)-- andreasegde ( talk) 21:15, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
Ah-ha! Got it in one Grutness!! Good grief, I couldn't get it (maybe it was the 'y' in Taylor? or because he pronounced it as "Tyler" :). BTW, I sold a black Yamaha drum kit to him (with sturdy silver flight case for stands and cymbals) in the middle 80s (before I moved to Austria) because I had started writing and singing, and he needed a kit for New Zealand bands that were touring the UK. (You might know a few drummers that played on it :)-- andreasegde ( talk) 00:47, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
Craig was mentioned in a book? Good for Craig. BTW, I have a very funny picture of him climbing out of a kids' playground plastic monster tree at some roadside stop in 1984. :))-- andreasegde ( talk) 02:21, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

The great 'The/the debates' return. Just a glance at The Beatles' talk page will show you the massive amount of space this trivial issue takes up. Some editors have chosen to boycott these debates entirely, and we now have two separate entries in WP:LAME - The 'The/the debates' and the 'member order feud'. Consensus to use a capital 'T' was reached in a straw poll. Editors are reminded not to change the case of the 'T' without first changing consensus.

The problem with Macca (to his mates) is there are always too many people throwing things in while it's up for review; you have to watch it all the time. He has a solo section that deserves a GA, and a lot of solo stuff has to be cut out of the main article. I am of the opinion that if you want a pair of jeans, you walk into a shop and buy them, but to go back again is Hell on earth. I'm happy with the GA list for various Beatle-related people who are, or had something to do with, The Beatles (notice how I slipped that one in?) Apologies to anyone that disagrees.

Not on your life. I will never darken the doors of an FAC again, and especially not with an article that's "too long", but also has "not enough in it". They can sharpen their knives on someone else's backside, if you forgive my French... :(-- andreasegde ( talk) 18:37, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
The problem with Macca (to his mates) is there are always too many people throwing things in while it's up for review; you have to watch it all the time. He has a solo section that deserves a GA, and a lot of solo stuff has to be cut out of the main article. I am of the opinion that if you want a pair of jeans, you walk into a shop and buy them, but to go back again is Hell on earth. I'm happy with the GA list for various Beatle-related people who are, or had something to do with, The Beatles (notice how I slipped that one in?) Apologies to anyone that disagrees.
Right; I'm off out, as it's Saturday night and I only have a few days before flying up to Leeds to attend a (possibly, but hopefully not) emotional and physically abusive thing they call a wedding up in them thar hills, by golly-whiz...-- andreasegde ( talk) 18:51, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
I just saw this, sorry. I've been swamped and totally missed it on my watchlist. Can I have around about a day? rootology ( C)( T) 22:34, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
I will be in Spain for two weeks from tomorrow, so if anybody reviews the above article, please give me some extra time. :)-- andreasegde ( talk) 16:44, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
If you've got time could you review it? If you don't think it will pass then feel free to fail it, or if you think it is good enough to pass, then please pass it, or put it on hold. Thanks for your time! Gary King ( talk) 17:59, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
I am reviewing your article, Phillips' Sound Recording Services, for GA and will be making comments on the comments page. However, knowing that you will be in Spain, I will give leeway as far as your responses. There is no hurry. Please feel free to contact me with question or comments. (The article looks very good and I do not foresee many problems.) Regards, — Mattisse ( Talk) 00:51, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
Hi, as you did a lot of editing and clean up on this article, I wanted to let you know about Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/The Greencards. Thanks for your help! rootology ( C)( T) 05:49, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
Thank you so much for your help! Sandy just bumped The Greencards to FA status. :) rootology ( C)( T) 00:45, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
The Dissenters has been redirected to The Quarrymen, but the information has been lost. User Nyttend said: “If merged, add a hatnote to Quarrymen about dissenters.” This was not done.-- andreasegde ( talk) 19:33, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
I have been bold, as you suggested, and have put the info in the article. To redirect is not to merge, as it only wipes info.-- andreasegde ( talk) 19:57, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
I think I have contributed enough to Wikipedia, and now I have other things to do. I have seriously enjoyed my time here, and I wish all of my true Wiki-friends the best. I will peruse articles from time to time (as everybody does) but I will not be involved in any serious way. I will be a bystander, and an occasional critic. I thank you.-- andreasegde ( talk) 17:52, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
I will, Tvoz, and I thank you.-- andreasegde ( talk) 18:12, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
I will be around now and again, and thanks for the laughter, Patthedog :))-- andreasegde ( talk) 13:17, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
Hah, hemm... One should be drawn to the previously written sentence: "I will peruse articles from time to time (as everybody does) but I will not be involved in any serious way", to be fully illuminated. I have no intention of relinquishing my page here, but would merely like to observe from a more relaxing distance. I thank you.-- andreasegde ( talk) 14:42, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
Hi, nice to see you back again! Can you explain though what you mean about your comment re removing the photo referred to that shows Heather Mills & Marc Sinden in flagrante! They are having an affair that much we now know, so surely the photo should be used. It is sourced, many times... the web has gone mad with the story.
