Stupid question: how are you going to record an album if there is no electricity:confused:

Also, I had no idea there are bears in Slovakia.

yep. they brought some of the slovak bears into france and reintroduced them to the pyrenees because the population there had become extinct. in slovakia there are loads of them and i think the locals were only too happy to get rid of some.
 
I have , as we speak, a litre of home distliied Slovak slivovitz, in the cupboard.

invest if you get the chance, cos you're worth it

( also numbs flesh after being savaged by bears )
 
Surely going to stay in a cabin in the middle of nowhere is the precise opposite of Max? Surely the issue with characters like Max is that they think they are Marco Polo, striding out into the world to journey to new and exciting locales, and all they are really doing is attending a global version of a hippie theme park where everyone goes to exactly the same places, stays in exactly the same convenient hotels, and does exactly the same things...

Theres a distinct lack of skinny jeans and horribly cliched writing.

Come on Chaz you should be as gallingly shite as as the reciever of nepotist largesse:mad:
 
I thought you were off to look after some huskies in Iceland (or somewhere in Scandinavia)... or was that someone else? :D
 
In retrospect my meatloaf direction is questionable, still call me hippy again and I'll pull your frickin ears off :D, can't talk now, carpet monkeys raped me, off to hut tomorrow.

Just returned from hut, it's brilliant.
 
It's my neighbors, it got my Guns and Roses T shirt stuck over it's horns (from the washing line) and started running into the side of my house blinded the other night.

Class! :D That's a great image.

Well done on the telly - my mum and dad have appeared on Slovak telly (and did an hour-long interview on the radio) due to their house restoration and a classical music fest they're organising this autumn. They've become local celebs in the Spis area!

I'll be booking my tickets soon - probably be there middle to end of August for two weeks. Mostly planning to collapse around my parents' house, but hopeful of making it up to Strbske Pleso and suchlike places in the mountains a few times.

I'm finding in pretty much impossible to blog because the people I'm working with drag me to the pension the second we down tools. Here is another wanky photo though.
 
I'm beginning to warm to the idea of countryside huts in the middle of nowhere.

Many Spanish people have weekend retreats that are no more than garages with stoves outside. Nice.

Wow, that is a really archetypal old-skool Slovak hut. When she was little my mum spent a while living, I think, in something quite similar with some relatives. Definitely didn't have any utilities and she basically slept on a kind of shelf above the stove to keep warm at night.

i have urges to take off, live in a hut like that, grow my own fruit and veg and just sit around all day or go for long walks. I was thinking New Zealand...........

Right then, it's pretty small inside, the water supply has got frogs and pond weed in it, (probably no worse than London recycled arse juice water though) and I'll need to walk 45 minutes up a hill with any shopping. But outside is phenomenal, I have a view of pretty much all of it, and the hill is covered with wild Bergamot (Earl Grey) and Thyme, cicadas rattle and dung beetles take care of my Neighbors cows lack of potty training. The air is thick with buzzing insects, cowbells and cuckoo's, in fact, these recordings are going to sound fucking incredible. :cool:
Plus, I've got an Aga, beat that Ya' Bastads, :p only problem is, if I turn it off, I'll probably freeze. :(
 
Chaz, well done you!
That place looks amazing.

A few random questions, if I may....
Do you get scared at night?
Are there any bears around?
How often does it rain?
Are you going to fix the roof of that hut? :)
 
This is a brilliant thread. Id so love to do what you are doing Chazegee :cool:

Barking mad mentioned NZ. Both of my sons are going there in about ten weeks for a year or two. Im so jealous! :(

Slovakia is quite similar to New Zealand in terms of having nothing to do and a big booze problem. ;) The driving is also equally bad. :mad:

Rutita, I've got to be honest, I've only stayed one night so far, I've got to finish a job further North, then go to Unsound Italy and get ripped to the tits on drink and drugs. Then my proper tour of duty begins.
It rains here about every third day, but it's torrential, monsoon like, and the flashes of lighting are like nothing I've seen before. :eek:
Bears? Fuck that, I'm buying one of these. ;)
And the roof? Well that's my barn, so I'm not to fussed. :)
