FMD: RIP Spaceape

29 Comments

One of my favorite vocalists, who also went by the name "Daddy Gee" on some records and sounded like Massive Attack's Daddy G chopped & screwed. Here's his Prince cover with Kode9, the first release on Hyperdub.

    *I've always wished I could draw a nice ampersand by hand, but I've never figured out how.

    1. They're pretty easy. In one continuous motion, start at the bottom left of where the symbol is going to be and make a backwards "S" with a smaller loop at the top, then cut down in a straight 45' line through the bottom part of your backwards "S". Might take a little practice, but I bet you're drawing perfect ampersands by lunchtime.

          1. And if I could figure out the difference between left and right. Start at bottom right...

            Back to handwriting though, mine used to be excellent. Now it's just a lazy scrawl that is sometimes illegible to me. Sadly, despite being the source of that drop-off, my typing hasn't improved all that much.

            2. I keyboard so much and write by hand so little that my penmanship has completely failed me, worse than any doctor's handwriting now. I type pretty fast, though, and I'd be even faster if I didn't correct all my typos on the fly.

            3. My handwriting is not good for sustained periods. I used to be able to write lovely thank you notes, but they've been getting sloppier.

              I can type quickly (8th grade keyboarding class FTW), but I think slowly.

              1. 8th grade keyboarding class FTW

                No kidding!
                I was completing an employment application and it requested typing speed...so I went to teh google and took a test so I could supply an honest answer. The result? 75 words per minute! As much as I type, I shouldn't have been surprised, but ... well, I was pleasantly surprised!

                My handwriting is a weird amalgamation of cursive, capital letters and shorthand. It's somewhat legible, but certainly not pretty. My mother & grandmother (even father in his own way) have or had some of the most attractive handwriting I've ever seen. Even better, I sometimes get Christmas cards from my 2nd grade English teacher, a (nearly-blind) 20-years-retired nun. Now that is some gorgeous penmanship.

                1. I can type way better when I'm not thinking about it. A test makes me freeze up and have to think about where all the keys are.

      3. Yep. It took me forever but then I forced myself. It's just like learning a new letter.
        My second-grade teacher did a script capital E (like a backwards 3) with a vertical line through it like it's a dollar sign.
        I don't like that way, so I do a proper ampersand the way Bootsy describes.

        I've also taught myself double-story lowercase a's and g's, but I use them sparingly.
        My capital Gs vary a lot (probably by context), along with whether I cross the capital I.

        For a period in high-school, I developed a new handwriting style, where the crossbars of capital As, Es, and Fs originated in the left corners of the letters. There was more, but I forget it.

        1. A few years back, I consciously changed how I write the number 9 - instead of starting at the top right, circling counter-clockwise and then dropping the stem down, I now start a the bottom left and run the stem up into a counter-clockwise 'head'... basically like I write my six, but upside down. I don't know what prompted the change.

          1. All right, now I want a follow-up to our fingerprint words that includes handwriting samples.

            1. I think the main oddity to my handwriting (when I do write) is that I print a lower case "a" with like this:

              whereas most write it like a small "d" without the extender to the top

              1. that's what I meant about the double-story "a".
                The single-story is my natural, but I have the other glyph there in my handwriting stable, ready to use when I feel like it.
