Dec Hickey

@mrsimonraymonde Sorry, Simon. I've only just seen this. The pix I took on that Spring '84 UK tour with Felt (all @ s/checks - 'so so' to 'interesting') got mentioned on Fb by some Bedford peeps so hopefully I’ll dig out the negs at the w/end and try and work out when and where each was taken.

@41Rooms Please do Dec!

17th November 1984 a special show for our friend Declan at Bedford Boys Club / Elizabeth being awesome and me on the bass and Peter Van Der Velde pitchside - with the impossible task of looking after the monitors 😂

@LoneLadyHQ I'm definitely with Dave H. Your vocal on Fear No More... Doooooooof!

@41Rooms thanks for listening!⚡️

@LoneLadyHQ It's been a joyous 40mins, Julie. Cheers.

@LoneLadyHQ @Tim_Burgess I say, 'Ayyyyymen!'

@41Rooms @Tim_Burgess stark and spiky for ever!

Its been a joy to share Nerve Up with you; this album will always be so special to me. Thankyou for listening, and thanks to @Tim_Burgess for having me. I can’t wait to make another stark & spiky guitar record. Julie XXX

@LoneLadyHQ Needs must...

The 'thwack!' sound at 1:56 was achieved by dropping a chunk of breezeblock onto a sheet of metal in a long, cold corridor of the mill. Heavy tools were also dropped onto the metal to create a terrible metallic splintering sounds that add (more) aggression to the sound.

@LoneLadyHQ County Wexford, Ireland.

Where are you listening from? how's it going? Are you dancing like an angular Egon Shiele painting?! ⚡️⚡️🕺

@Mr_Dave_Haslam Could be with you on that, Dave.

'Marble' my favourite track on 'Nerve Up' #timstwitterlisteningparty - love the space in it and that repetitive keyboard riff.

@LoneLadyHQ A beauty! Reminiscent of Fiat Lux's Feels Like Winter Again.

‘Reversing it back into winter / turned into a black sculpture’ I like the shimmery chill sadness of Marble. The lyrics are quite oblique, as a lot of my lyrics are. Michael Stipe is partly to blame for that. As a teen I was transfixed by his magical, cryptic words. #Marble

@LoneLadyHQ Mancunialand, we have a problem.

Having internet connectivity issues!!

@LoneLadyHQ You'll catch yer death, girl!

Excerpt from my diary of the sessions: 'The room is permeated with a heavy dampness; the canal feels very close, hanging with us like fog. The phones are off, we have barricaded ourselves in: it’s just Guy and me. All we can do is begin.’

@LoneLadyHQ Cut and pasting on a PC was a goddam revelation to me. I needed it. @LlSTENlNG_PARTY

All my lyric sheets are heavily worked....

@LoneLadyHQ Silvering... Wendy & Lisa for the (20)20s... :)

Over to Bill! ‘when i first heard the songs i thought that they sounded fantastic..they had a cool kind of cassette compression & midrange that i couldn't imagine losing..but the stereo image was also compressed...we could use those tracks and augment them with some "space"..

@LoneLadyHQ cassettesrrrrrruuuusssss
