said: " Come ahead, boys and girls... Don't be afraid now."
Andrew Thompson (Wed Feb 26 14:10:20 GMT) said:
"When are your next live dates planned and where?"
Edward Ball [Wed Feb 26 14:02:40GMT) said: "Nice
to hear from you. I have no dates planned as such but I am
perhaps going to do a support tour with Mike Scott and Nick
Heyward, so I will see you then"
Katrina (Wed Feb 26 14:03:52GMT) said: " Hi
Edward I managed to get a promo copy of the new lp and it is
ace. question - why collaborate with so many others when
your genius is so obvious"
Andrew Thomspson (Wed Feb 26 14:04:08GMT) said:
"...The Nick Heyward?"
Simon (Wed Feb 26 14:05:54GMT) said: "Are there
any dark secrets behind the title of your forth coming album
Catholic Guilt?"
Jem (Wed Feb 26 14:06:18GMT) said: "Any
predictions for tonight's match?"
Edward Ball (Wed Feb 26 14:06:27GMT) said:
"Katrina How ya doing? Thank you for being so kind... I
enjoy working with people like Martin Carr Andy Bell and
Nick Heyward because I think they're the true geniuses. "
Liz (Wed Feb 26 14:06:28GMT) said: "Hi Ed, Really
loved your album..."
Edward Ball (Wed Feb 26 14:07:15GMT) said:
"Andrew, the very self same Nick Heyward"
Andrew Thompson (Wed Feb 26 14:08:21GMT) said:
"Ed, will you be using the Internet again?"
Edward Ball (Wed Feb 26 14:09:10GMT) said:
"Simon, Welcome aboard. I'm afraid there aren't any dark
secrets on the album. I keep them all in the confession box
of the Bromption Oratory Church. It's more about the 4
Angels of the Apocalypse who've made my hair fall out.
Thanks for asking."
LIZ (Wed Feb 26 14:09:53GMT) said: "Hi this is
David, i'm sitting with Liz and am more interested in Nick
Heyward than you I have to confess but tell me, what was it
you worked on with Nick. I'm his number one biggest fan and
he's also my number one lust object too so I am dead jealous
of you...."
Edward Ball (Wed Feb 26 14:10:20 GMT), said: "How
do Jem. Chelsea 4, Leicester 1. What do you reckon?"
Andrew Thompson (Wed Feb 26 14:10:38 GMT), said:
"Did you see the Brits on TV last night? What did you think
of the Spice girl in the red dress?"
simon (Wed Feb 26 14:12:15 GMT), said: "Hi Ed,
'Love is Blue' - is this purely about Chelsea or is love
something that eludes you at the moment?"
katrina (Wed Feb 26 14:12:16 GMT), said: "hang
on, aren't we meant to be talking about the fabulous
sensitive Mr Ball, rather than the s**** g****! ? Ed, are
you going to release Trailblaze as a single?"
Edward Ball (Wed Feb 26 14:12:52 GMT), said: "Liz
and David, How'ya doing you crazy cats! Nick is indeed ace
and he helped me out on a song I wrote called 'Never Live to
Love Again' which is the B-side of my next single 'The Mill
Hill Self Hate Club'. Nick is certainly more talented than
Richard in Bronski Beat!!!"
Andrew Thompson (Wed Feb 26 14:13:37 GMT), said:
"Katrina, lighten up!!"
Edward Ball (Wed Feb 26 14:14:17 GMT), said:
"Andrew, thansk for your enquiry. I am very excited by this
new technology that we are using today. Not even Elton John,
Rod Stewart or A Flock of Seagulls have used the particular
gizmo we're implementing today."
Edward Ball (Wed Feb 26 14:15:56 GMT), said:
"Andrew, I was at the Brits. Music was shite, but for
different reasons I find her unbelievably attractive."
Edward Ball (Wed Feb 26 14:17:08 GMT), said:
"Katrina, Love Is Blue is a song for girls and for boys.
It's a sad love song, so the girl's can get into it, and
it's a song about Chelsea so the boys can sing the hell out
of it at the Bridge."
LIZ (Wed Feb 26 14:17:28 GMT), said: "Where did
the never live to love again come from? Were you unlucky in
love or just going through a bad patch? And how can you
possibly say that about Richard Coles of the Communards!!
The man's a star (in my eyes at least)"
Andrew Thompson (Wed Feb 26 14:18:20 GMT), said:
"Do you think there is a future for a live intenet link with
the Brits"
Edward Ball (Wed Feb 26 14:19:36 GMT), said:
"Simon, it was a beautiful scene man. Giving flowers out to
all those gorgeous women. It was tops."
simon (Wed Feb 26 14:19:46 GMT), said: "Ed,
Waterloo Station ? Any proposals from the recipients of your
blue roses?"
Edward Ball (Wed Feb 26 14:20:49 GMT), said:
"Liz/David, no I'm just going through a bald patch at the
moment. But I'm bound to get better soon."
katrina (Wed Feb 26 14:21:46 GMT), said: "Ed, i
raced back from work to see you at Waterloo, but at 6.45
you'd already gone! Sob! Do it again sometime please, as it
was such a lovely gesture."
Edward Ball (Wed Feb 26 14:22:04 GMT), said:
"Andrew, (pause) Yes"
Edward Ball (Wed Feb 26 14:22:59 GMT), said:
"Simon, No Indecent Proposals, unfortunately. But a man
can't give up hope."
Edward Ball (Wed Feb 26 14:23:45 GMT), said:
"Katrina, for you - anytime."
Andy Sutton (Wed Feb 26 14:25:12 GMT), said: "I
have not heard your music, how would you best describe it?"
Andrew Thompson (Wed Feb 26 14:25:15 GMT), said:
"How do you think the internet can affect the way you can
communicate with audiences"
katrina (Wed Feb 26 14:25:45 GMT), said:
"(blushing)...thanks."
simon (Wed Feb 26 14:25:56 GMT), said: "Ed, You
never told me what my mum's star sign was! Keep guessing!
Jonathan."
Edward Ball (Wed Feb 26 14:26:44 GMT), said:
"Liz, definitely discuss the Spice Girls' outfits which
DON'T fit! Make it more glammy and glitzy."
Edward Ball (Wed Feb 26 14:27:27 GMT), said:
"Andy, sort of like words with tunes, kinda thing."
pob (Wed Feb 26 14:28:26 GMT), said: "hi mr ball,
are you enjoying yourself????"
Andy Sutton (Wed Feb 26 14:28:48 GMT), said: "Any
particular style or not?"
Edward Ball (Wed Feb 26 14:29:18 GMT), said:
"Andrew, it'll probably be a good thing that gets better as
it becomes a more natural form of communication."
Edward Ball (Wed Feb 26 14:30:41 GMT), said:
"Pob, how'ya doing. I'm having fucking ace time! Better than
ever. Havin' a ball, in fact."
katrina (Wed Feb 26 14:30:54 GMT), said: "Ed, are
you actually employed by Creation - except as an artiste -
in any way shape or form?"
Edward Ball (Wed Feb 26 14:31:54 GMT), said:
"Andy, Just stylish...erm."
pob (Wed Feb 26 14:32:00 GMT), said: "going to
the match tonight???? villa, fan myself so love is 'claret
and blue' i'm afraid..."
simon (Wed Feb 26 14:32:28 GMT), said: "Ed, Are
there any plans for the guest artists on the album to appear
live with you?"
Edward Ball (Wed Feb 26 14:32:31 GMT), said:
"Katrina, I used to work at Creation years ago but not any
more."
Edward Ball (Wed Feb 26 14:33:08 GMT), said:
"Pob, Yes I am going to the match and Villa are alright
too!"
Penelope Tree (Wed Feb 26 14:33:41 GMT), said:
"Who is the Birch?"
LIZ from (Wed Feb 26 14:33:52 GMT), said: "OOps!
Lindsay's back and wants her computer again. Must go. Nice
talkig to you guys. Bye"
Andrew Thompson (Wed Feb 26 14:34:17 GMT), said:
"Are you a hard internet user yourself"
Edward Ball (Wed Feb 26 14:34:20 GMT), said:
"Simon, I did a launch a while back where I had Tim and Bob
from the Boos, Nick Heyward and Andy Bell play with me, but
I'm not sure that I could get them all together again."
simon from (Wed Feb 26 14:34:41 GMT), said: "Ed,
do you go into the studio with complete tracks demoed or
just rough ideas?"
Edward Ball (Wed Feb 26 14:35:20 GMT), said:
"Penelope, don't know. You tell me."
katrina (Wed Feb 26 14:35:32 GMT), said: "Ed,
what do you think of Hurricane - Andy's new band? Have you
seen them live?"
POLLY@CEC (Wed Feb 26 14:35:37 GMT), said: "how
many valentines did you get this year, ed?"
Edward Ball (Wed Feb 26 14:36:44 GMT), said:
"Andrew, just a dabbler, me."
Andrew Thompson (Wed Feb 26 14:37:56 GMT), said:
"Do you see any subject matter for new material coming from
this"
Edward Ball (Wed Feb 26 14:38:03 GMT), said:
"Simon, Usually start off with about 30 rough ideas which I
expand on."
Penelope Tree (Wed Feb 26 14:38:11 GMT), said: "I
thought you were an authority on Chelsea FC and you don't
know who the Birch is. Stanley Mathews once called the
biggest camp ponce on a football field and he was asked to
pose in Paris Match with Tony Currie in a double bed.
Penelope"
Andy Sutton (Wed Feb 26 14:38:36 GMT), said: "Any
idea how often Creation are going to do interviews like
this?"
ruthey (Wed Feb 26 14:39:24 GMT), said: "How long
have you been making music"
simon (Wed Feb 26 14:39:25 GMT), said: "Ed, do
you feel that the music industry in the late 90's allows the
artist enough freedom to create or is freedom a myth?"
Edward Ball (Wed Feb 26 14:39:28 GMT), said:
"Katrina, I think Andy's arrived big time. I've heard the
Hurricane album and along with 18 Wheeler it's going to be
one of the best group albums of the year."
Edward Ball (Wed Feb 26 14:40:33 GMT), said:
"Polly, I didn't get one from you. I'm still waiting."
Edward Ball (Wed Feb 26 14:41:25 GMT), said:
"Andrew, on-line love affairs!"
katrina (Wed Feb 26 14:42:49 GMT), said: "Ed,
along with simon's question re artistic freedom, do you
think that Creation more so than other labels allow their
artists more freedom with their music? (if that makes
sense!)"
Edward Ball (Wed Feb 26 14:42:55 GMT), said:
"Penelope, do you mean Alan Birchenal?"
Edward Ball (Wed Feb 26 14:43:30 GMT), said:
"Andy, I think it should be a regular thing. Definitely."
Penelope Tree (Wed Feb 26 14:43:57 GMT), said:
"Correct"
Edward Ball (Wed Feb 26 14:44:25 GMT), said:
"Ruthey, ever since I was a kid really. I learned to play
the blues harp when I was 9, and the piano when I was
13-14."
Andrew Thompson (Wed Feb 26 14:46:12 GMT), said:
"Have you been invited to the wedding of the year!"
Edward Ball (Wed Feb 26 14:46:47 GMT), said:
"Katrina, indeed they do. Creation maintains a flexible
relationship with their artists hence a phenomenon like
Oasis."
simon (Wed Feb 26 14:46:59 GMT), said: "Ed, What
do you think of the 3 Colours Red new material? Top Stuff?"
Edward Ball (Wed Feb 26 14:47:35 GMT), said:
"Andrew, not yet. But if I am I'll be there!"
Sarah (Wed Feb 26 14:47:40 GMT), said: "Mr.Ball,
Can we get hold of Love Corporation stuff still?"
katrina (Wed Feb 26 14:47:49 GMT), said: "Andrew,
you mean Charles and Camilla...?"
Andy Sutton (Wed Feb 26 14:48:02 GMT), said: "Do
you think many artists would be bothered to do this kind of
interview?"
Edward Ball (Wed Feb 26 14:48:18 GMT), said:
"Simon, Most exciting live band I've seen in ages. Chris
McCormack is a genius."
Edward Ball (Wed Feb 26 14:49:43 GMT), said:
"Sarah, Nice question. Creation are releasing a double album
later this year of remixes by Monkey Mafia, Chris Needs, One
True Parker and loads of other cats of Love Corporation
tracks."
Edward Ball (Wed Feb 26 14:50:33 GMT), said:
"Andy, I think they should try because once you start it's
easy to get hooked."
Andrew Thompson (Wed Feb 26 14:50:33 GMT), said:
"do you know where they're moving to"
Edward Ball (Wed Feb 26 14:50:51 GMT), said:
"Katrina, no. I mean me and whoever!"
Sarah from (Wed Feb 26 14:51:26 GMT), said: "Can
you write out the lyrics to the Celery Song?"
Edward Ball (Wed Feb 26 14:51:48 GMT), said:
"Andrew, yes I do but I'm not telling you."
pob (Wed Feb 26 14:51:55 GMT), said: "ed, d'you
fancy a kick around?"
katrina (Wed Feb 26 14:52:15 GMT), said: "Ed, i
promise if you answer on more question i'll stop the sarky
comments...your all-time fave Creation band?"
Edward Ball (Wed Feb 26 14:52:40 GMT), said:
"Sarah, Celery, celery, tickling your wife's bum (I think)."
Edward Ball (Wed Feb 26 14:53:32 GMT), said:
"Pob, I play 5 a-side, so you'd better bloody be good!"
Edward Ball (Wed Feb 26 14:54:04 GMT), said:
"Katrina, My Bloody Valentine. Unquestionably."
simon (Wed Feb 26 14:54:26 GMT), said: "Ed, How
good was that late equaliser on Saturday?"
Andrew Thompson (Wed Feb 26 14:55:08 GMT), said:
"We already know!! Logging off now, Thanks for an
entertaining session. Great idea this internet interview.
Who's the next interview with. Cheerio Katrina!"
katrina (Wed Feb 26 14:55:29 GMT), said: "Ed, do
you think there could ever be a reconciliation between
Creation and MBV?"
pob (Wed Feb 26 14:55:44 GMT), said: "ahh, Mr Ed.
you are a lovely man with shiny voice, but you have old
bones."
Edward Ball (Wed Feb 26 14:55:46 GMT), said:
"Simon, no comment."
Andy Sutton (Wed Feb 26 14:55:47 GMT), said: "Do
you really like 3CR or did Creation have an influence?"
Jem (Wed Feb 26 14:56:20 GMT), said: "simon..poor
old ed comes down here to be a friendly fella and now
your're winding him up (and about the scum too!!) leave it
out..."
Edward Ball (Wed Feb 26 14:57:25 GMT), said:
"Katrina, who knows. Alan would definitely make sure we'd
hear a MBV's album soon."
Edward Ball (Wed Feb 26 14:58:07 GMT), said:
"Pob, I'd run rings around you."
simon (Wed Feb 26 14:58:47 GMT), said: "Ed, that
last one was from Roland - we've got to log off now. Very
informative session and nice to hear you're a fan of 18
Wheeler and 3 colours red. Top stuff - Keep up the good work
with Creation. See ya !"
Edward Ball (Wed Feb 26 14:59:02 GMT), said:
"Andy, I REALLY love 3 Colours Red."
Edward Ball (Wed Feb 26 14:59:39 GMT), said:
"Jem, quite so, quite so."
Andy Sutton (Wed Feb 26 15:00:51 GMT), said:
"Thanks for talking, gotta go, up the Wolves!"
katrina (Wed Feb 26 15:01:31 GMT), said: "Ed,
will Creation make a transcript of this 'interview'
available on their website?"
Edward Ball (Wed Feb 26 15:02:31 GMT), said:
"Katrina, I will ensure for you personally that they will.
By the way, have you joined my fanclub?"
pob (Wed Feb 26 15:02:53 GMT), said: "alright ed,
see you down the park (in Sheffield) in ten minutes if
your'e so nifty..!"
katrina (Wed Feb 26 15:03:31 GMT), said: "Ed, no
i haven't, but please don't tell me i have to contact
Trinity Street! What's the snail mail address?"
Edward Ball (Wed Feb 26 15:04:07 GMT), said:
"Pob, funnily anough I was in Leeds this morning, and I
could have joined yo for a kick about... Are you Wednesday
or United?"
Edward Ball (Wed Feb 26 15:05:05 GMT), said:
"Katrina, check your email, I'll send it to you."
Edward Ball (Wed Feb 26 15:05:47 GMT), said:
"Hasn't anyone picked up on The Prisoner questions I wanted
you lot to ask?"
katrina (Wed Feb 26 15:08:09 GMT), said: "Ed,
thanks heaps! I've got to log off, but good luck for the
LP...I probably don't have to remind you how brilliant it
is! In case you were wondering, the last track (i can't
remember what it's called as i left the cd at work!) is my
fave! Hopefully i'll see you at one of your gigs soon!
Cheers and thanks for being such a good sport...love
Katrina. xxx"
pob (Wed Feb 26 15:11:22 GMT), said: "Aston
Villa: usefully not owl or bladelike and unlikely to provoke
violence down the pub .... must go, my eyes are hurting from
all this computer thingummyjigging have a good one.......
cheers"
Edward Ball (Wed Feb 26 15:15:25 GMT), said:
"Thank you very much everyone for partaking in this little
bit of Creation history. I would especially like to thank
the especially gorgeous Emma B for sorting out this
brilliant little thing. I've decided I'm coming on once a
week so we can talk shit like The Prisoner, The Beatles,
British Sixties movies, girlfriend problems, Chelsea FC,
Creation stuff and knitting patterns. See you all soon.
Love, The Shed."
