WOLF EYES & TAURPIS TULA, SUNDAY 22 APRIL 2007

8.30pm

Where is this venue, pl?

― Ward Fowler, Sunday, 15 April 2007 17:19 (seventeen years ago) link

It's on Sauchiehal-- oh, just get a taxi :)

― stet, Sunday, 15 April 2007 17:32 (seventeen years ago) link

it's about five minutes walk from the pedestrianised part of sauchihall street heading west towards charing cross. walk past the CCA about 100-150 yards - it's on the other side of the street.

opposite a garage

thank you, i know where it is now. i am starting to get to grips w/ the centre, now, and am working v. nearby. looks a bit of a tiny dive from the outside, do you think it will sell out early? and can no other ilxors be persuaded to come out from some noize (i am also going to the thing at the CCA the following week, even parker et al but have written off Terry Riley due to 'finances')??

― Ward Fowler, Sunday, 15 April 2007 19:47 (seventeen years ago) link

i always thought it would be a dive but i went in for the first time recently and rather liked it. good cheap food too. i won't go to this but i might go to the evan parker thing and also to the terry riley thing (if i can afford it).

― jed_, Sunday, 15 April 2007 19:55 (seventeen years ago) link

I likes me a wee bit of noize sometimes, but I shall be on way back from London on Sunday night. I contrived to miss Wolf Eyes at ATP, where all accounts pointed to them being great. Oh well.

Sleazy's downstairs bit accommodates more people than the upstairs. Give them a ring and see how the tickets are going, maybe?

― ailsa, Sunday, 15 April 2007 19:56 (seventeen years ago) link

when i say good cheap food i mean cheap n tasty for what it is (burgers, enchiladas, etc) but it would probably give you a cornonary if consumed on a regular basis.

xpost.

WF i guess it will sell out but you shouldn't follow my path with these things which is generally to hold out and see what happens until someone tells me it's sold out at which point i decide this would have been the best gig ever and sulk.

― jed_, Sunday, 15 April 2007 20:11 (seventeen years ago) link

lol

i think i will have a saunter over there on monday, check it out, but hope to finally have a drink w/ you at the CCA, Jed; and thanks for yr advice alisa, im sure glasgow is virtually a home from home for the Wolfs, so next time!

one month passes...

I *still* have wibbedy wibbedy wum on the brain :(

Does Glasgow try post-rock? I'm thinking of seeing Do Make Say Think at the The Hold (The Admiral, Waterloo St) tomorrow evening and I was wondering if anyone else fancied it?

― onimo, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 12:00 (seventeen years ago) link

i'm right off gigs. and music :(

― grimly fiendish, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 12:32 (seventeen years ago) link

I take it from that OMD weren't what you hoped for?

I am in Glasgow next Wednesday night, don't know yet if I am out. If there is demand I will try and make it so.

― aldo, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 12:34 (seventeen years ago) link

I take it from that OMD weren't what you hoped for?

no. far from it. interesting on a sociological level, perhaps, but ... i'll post a bit more on the ILM thread once my review's in the paper (tomorrow).

my shifts appear to be shot to fuck next week so i'm not sure what time i'll be free ... be good to see you, though. long overdue. let's go somewhere where there's karao ... actually, no.

― grimly fiendish, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 12:38 (seventeen years ago) link

I can probably manage out. You realise it's Champs League final night?

― onimo, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 12:46 (seventeen years ago) link

Aye, that was possibly my plan in losing the guy I'm up with. "You just go and watch the final, I'll catch up with you later..." He's not exactly our kind of chap.

― aldo, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 12:47 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm sorry I'll miss you, Al, but I'm flying to Italy on Wednesday night. I'll be in Milan the next day, which could be fun :)

― Madchen, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 12:57 (seventeen years ago) link

I'd rather be in Italy as well. Room in yer suitcase?

― aldo, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 13:14 (seventeen years ago) link

On the way out, perhaps, but coming back it'll be full of shoppin.

Have to say, I'm rather enjoying the Spanish invasion today. I keep hearing snatches of songs and chants through my office window and at lunchtime I had a good smirk at fans sitting outside Campus East, which has been decked out to look like a pavement cafe, shivering in the drizzle. One guy was even wearing a wig 'n' tam, which I thought was a marvellous effort and probably quite warming too.

― Madchen, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 13:19 (seventeen years ago) link

Glasgow's rather amusing today - thousands of Spanish sitting in the cold, looking like they've just come off an (admittedly rather sopping) beach. Tanned and dripping (as it were).

― AndyTheScot, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 14:18 (seventeen years ago) link

Hello everyone! It took some getting out of your fine city this morning, dear me.

― Pashmina, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 14:23 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh dear!

― Madchen, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 14:35 (seventeen years ago) link

It was because of the UEFA cup! Not only were there a lot more people coming into town, but apparently a few roads through the centre of the city had been closed for the day for a parade or something (my source for this information was an annoyed taxi driver so it might not actually be right) - the streets were really badly gridlocked though. I'm home now, though. I had a great time, too!

― Pashmina, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 14:41 (seventeen years ago) link

Was great to meet you; sorry we had to fire off straight away afterwards. As was saying, we should meet up some other time with the express purpose of just chit chat.

I've done what we were discussing, and am just uploading it to the sandbox site as we speak. That code's a good bit more complicated than one might think, so I think we should do a good bit of trying it out before unleashing it on nutters!

― Keith, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 14:58 (seventeen years ago) link

Who are you calling nutters?

― Madchen, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 15:04 (seventeen years ago) link

Weegies, obviously!

― Keith, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 15:06 (seventeen years ago) link

La Bamba is blaring in the street outside my work and they're all singing merrily along.

― Madchen, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 15:17 (seventeen years ago) link

I got sent home from work early to avoid the traffic, hurrah!

The reason people are in Campus East is because they had the brilliant idea of making special posters in Spanish with Sevilla and Espanyol badges on them to attract the fans in. I quite fancy a bit of Spanish-based fun and football tonight, but I am still teh skint (cheers for pints/glasses of coke, OMD-going folks!). Which kind of knacks going to Do Say Make Think as well, damn.

I should be alright for an aldoFAP next Wednesday though.

― ailsa, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 15:57 (seventeen years ago) link

I look forward to hearing more about OMD, and also our Spanish chums.

― PJ Miller, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 16:01 (seventeen years ago) link

OMD were equal parts brilliant and ridiculous. Andy McCluskey is still the worst dancer in the world (closely followed by everyone else standing in my line of vision). There's a thread on ILM. It's quite good, as ILM threads go.

― ailsa, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 16:06 (seventeen years ago) link

Do Say Make Think

Prize for anyone who wants to rearrange these words into the actual name of a band.

― ailsa, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 16:08 (seventeen years ago) link

Death Minks Okay

― onimo, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 17:05 (seventeen years ago) link

Words not letters, ya trumpet.

― ailsa, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 17:06 (seventeen years ago) link

This is a bit of a frightener! I walked down this street today!

A couple of weeks ago, I mentioned beer to Grimly Fiendish. We talked about next Friday. Is this still on? Would anyone like to drink beer next Friday? It's a pop league night, for those of that persuasion. It's payday, so I will not be as cadging of free beer as I was on Tuesday.

Let's NOT go to Mono :-)

― ailsa, Thursday, 17 May 2007 17:18 (seventeen years ago) link

i think so. i have this nagging feeling that i've since committed to something else, but maybe not. i'll check later.

i'm almost gonna suggest westbeer, but it's a bit of a trek for me :/

― grimly fiendish, Thursday, 17 May 2007 17:20 (seventeen years ago) link

and i won't be there till 7.30 at the earliest, i guess.

― grimly fiendish, Thursday, 17 May 2007 17:21 (seventeen years ago) link

WestBeer is really really near my work.

(I am officially now up for aldo-Champions-League-FAP)

― ailsa, Thursday, 17 May 2007 17:25 (seventeen years ago) link

What is it with you and the bolding today?

I cannae come out next Friday, I have exams :(

― stet, Thursday, 17 May 2007 17:29 (seventeen years ago) link

Grimly has mastered BBcode and is showing off.

You can't possibly have an exam on a Friday night. Come to the pub!

― ailsa, Thursday, 17 May 2007 17:31 (seventeen years ago) link

I have one on Monday morning and am working every other day so must do sums, scratch head etc

― stet, Thursday, 17 May 2007 17:32 (seventeen years ago) link

― Ward Fowler, Thursday, 17 May 2007 17:32 (seventeen years ago) link

im going to see Ghost at Mono tonight, cld be gd

WANK, i forgot about this. it was in my fucking diary too. shit. how were they?

― grimly fiendish, Thursday, 17 May 2007 22:13 (seventeen years ago) link

oh they were pretty great, HEAVY psych freak outs w/ more levitational flute and hurdy-gurdy drone interludes, etc - bit louder than either Acid Mothers Temple or Comets on Fire in the same venue

― Ward Fowler, Thursday, 17 May 2007 23:13 (seventeen years ago) link

piss. my loss.

― grimly fiendish, Thursday, 17 May 2007 23:24 (seventeen years ago) link

FUCK! Ghost. Dudez I need to move to Glasgow. This could be bad for my rel'ship.

― byebyepride, Friday, 18 May 2007 03:21 (sixteen years ago) link

I'll be in Italy on Friday, soz.

I think I'll be ready for a return to Mono soon - it must be over a year since we last fapped there.

― Madchen, Friday, 18 May 2007 11:27 (sixteen years ago) link

This happened entirely at random:

― Keith, Friday, 18 May 2007 12:05 (sixteen years ago) link

I am definitely coming out for Chumps League FAP. Roy may or may not join us and just smile quietly in the corner.

Sporto?

― aldo, Friday, 18 May 2007 12:49 (sixteen years ago) link

rIGHT ON, kEITH!

I NEED SOME HEAVY PSYCH FREAKOUTS

WHY DON'T YOU LIKE MONO?

I HAVE NEVER BEEN, SO I DON'T KNOW.

I THINK I WOULD LIKE IT THOUGH.
