You look like your having fun !! I love the colour of your guitar too.

Thanks. It's Sea Foam Green - I think the flash turned it Day-Glo. We did have fun that night...ran out of Throw-Beads ... if you know what I mean :D

ummm i'll find a review as i always find that hard to answer. i'm a bit of a magpie i guess.

essentially i'm into everything from beefheart to the beatles with lots of filthy rock 'n' roll, alt-country folk and jazz in the middle. this review is is from an english site called "opposition t":

Quote:

Engagingly clever mix of math rock, quirky blues and post-punk.

The two frontmen share lead and backing vocals, with extra backing from the drummer. Singing style is the slightly wayward but warm and jokey melody of campus rock. Backing can be wild - even falsetto - harmonies, or bizarre responses. The guitar is alarmingly versatile, groovy reggae, country twanging, funky licks, high speed blues solos, post-rock scribbles, and Brian May syrup. Bass is at the core of the tunes, the king of the bouncy castle. Drum beats are superbly mannered but utterly twisted. The songs appear to be about the spooky joy of everyday life. "It's not the lottery". "This is where the washing is". "All my friends sit around and drink all night". "Today I got a tummy ache, it wasn't very nice". There are philosophical moments - "I've gotta get away from here doesn't mean I don't want you near". But their highly popular closing song sums up the lyrical content - "I'm out of shower gel > STUFF > I've been using someone else's > STUFF". Daddy Long Legs write songs about stuff. Each of these musings is contained in around 3 minutes, but there's a sprawling range of prog-rockers, kooksters and grungers that seem to have pressed the Daddys' buttons. 10cc and Supertramp at the prog end, They Might Be Giants and Ween in the campus middle, Husker Du and Foo Fighters in the grunge gutter. Daddy Long Legs seem capable of culling a football chant from a Captain Beefheart song.

Daddy Long Legs are musically kaleidoscopic, very inventive, and very silly. They show off their skills, but the combination of variety and fun is enjoyable rather than pompous or esoteric. If the Daddy Long Legs were a foodstuff, they would indeed be a Minestrone served up with Parmesan cheese. Homemade, unpredictable, and highly flavoursome.

I must get stocked up with beads for this weekend's gig !!

captain gorgeous · April 20th, 2005, 07:20 AM

aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!

wonder if that would go over in north london?

thanks man!

stephent2 · April 20th, 2005, 08:57 AM

I know that looks like a simple "E" chord, but it's really a complex hammer-on...

Scotland · April 20th, 2005, 09:12 AM

Looks like you got it Stephen !

Oster · April 20th, 2005, 09:22 AM

My old website packed it in and with it my 'face to a name' (band shot). Still with the same band but here's a better shot anyway...(better website too):

Fuzzyhead · April 20th, 2005, 10:34 AM

Sorry, I just found this thread right now...

It just shows that there is always something new (or old but unknown) to be discovered on the TDPRI....

I'm still working on a really recent pic with my Tele, but here are some others:

That's me during my year in Australia (to keep with the cowboy hat theme).

With my Tele (when it still had a white pickguard).

This picture was actually taken a few hours ago, because I designed that shirt for our Bruce-forum to wear on the D&D-tour.

P.S.: This thread is a great idea! I fully agree with Ole Fuzzy!

That looks like it could be on the front of an Oster solo album.

Cool picture!

Another great picture. Cover shot for Fuzzyhead's solo album, Fuzzyhead: Wunder Down Under (Live In Australia) :D (By the way, I'll bet you have more girlfriends than you know what to do with, Fuzzyhead. 8)

Fuzzyhead · April 20th, 2005, 12:55 PM

Thanks Joel.... I got one wonderful girlfriend already and that's enough!

The Oz-picture was shot by a friend of mine from over there who's a pretty distinguished photographer. I didn't even know, when he shot it... happend on a fishing-trip. That also explains the Jim Carrey-smile....

Up here we call our size "stout."

I like the red Tele. I think the intro to Six Days on the Road was played on a red one.

Oster · April 20th, 2005, 10:12 PM

Thanks Joel! Darkness is definately my buddy when it comes to photographs!

You might be interested to know that there's a car commercial up here in Canada that uses Devo's 'Uncontrollable Urge' as the music! - (maybe it's in the States as well).

Totally took me by surprise!

Well, it gives the picture that "atmospherically mysterious" look. Again, it's a very cool picture.

Hey, Oster--I just caught that commercial for the very first time a night or two ago! As soon as I heard it, my ears pricked up, and I thought, "COOL!" Good for the spudboys!
