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.

This happened entirely at random:

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.

PJ MiLLER,

I found this to be outrageous:

Poll Results
The Who Sell Out 35
Who's Next 21
Quadrophenia 5
My Generation 4
A Quick One 3
Tommy 1
The Who By Numbers 1
It's Hard 0
Face Dances 0
Who Are You 0
Odds and Sods 0
Endless Wire 0

Keith, Friday, 18 May 2007 12:57 (sixteen years ago) link

I mean 0 for Odds and Sods! FFS!

Keith, Friday, 18 May 2007 12:57 (sixteen years ago) link

I had not seen that, otherwise I would have set up multiple identities.

Have you "done" Endless Wire, Keith? I think bits of it are quite good, in a way.

PJ Miller, Friday, 18 May 2007 13:01 (sixteen years ago) link

I did it once. I thought it was quite pish. Maybe I'll give it another go now.

Keith, Friday, 18 May 2007 13:02 (sixteen years ago) link

What tunes are good? I guess I could skip the plums bits.

Keith, Friday, 18 May 2007 13:03 (sixteen years ago) link

I can only remember that Black Widow's Eyes is particularly bad. I quite like Humphrey Clinker's Piano or whatever it's called, and Man in a Purple Dress. I think the opera bit in general is OK.

But I could be completely wrong. There always seems to be something more pressing to listen to.

I have ordered a new WHO t-shirt though:

Dig?

PJ Miller, Friday, 18 May 2007 13:15 (sixteen years ago) link

Dig!

Keith, Friday, 18 May 2007 13:20 (sixteen years ago) link

Hey I was going to ask if anyone liked Endless Wire on that poll thread. I only got it recently - there are great bits, like the title track and 'We Got A Hit'. Also what a flippin' great intro to 'Fragments' - totally totally bonkers Townshend - *that* weird synth wibbling that he loves and classic opening chords on his Strat. I dunno about some of the other material though - Rog sounds old, very very old. I haven't got my head around the opera yet, probably never will. Townshend's a strange fellow isn't he? Still, that the whole thing exists in 2007 is strangely cheering.

Dr.C, Friday, 18 May 2007 13:23 (sixteen years ago) link

Funny, yeah, I was just going to say that probably the biggest problem with it, is that it sounds like the cast of Last of the Summer Wine singing it. I liked 'Endless Wire' and 'It's not enough'.

Keith, Friday, 18 May 2007 13:43 (sixteen years ago) link

I am appalled that I am the only person to vote for 'The 70s WHO by Numbers' in that poll.

Have none of you ears?!

Keith, Friday, 18 May 2007 13:45 (sixteen years ago) link

I want a t-shirt like this:

Keith, Friday, 18 May 2007 13:59 (sixteen years ago) link

Don't like Who by Numbers that much - sorry! I voted for My Generation, although Who Sell Out is close. I might have gone for Live at Leeds if that was in there.

Dr.C, Friday, 18 May 2007 14:02 (sixteen years ago) link

He he... Only joking. I suspect, though, that this is the same as most other polls, and the problem is that most of the people who voted have probably only heard "The Who Sell Out" and "Who's Next".

Keith, Friday, 18 May 2007 14:14 (sixteen years ago) link

This is why polls are shit. Did your pub focus group not tell you that?

Sporto is good for me, aldo, when are you getting here (or, more specifically, there)? I have learned my lesson from teh last time and have taken Thursday morning off as a precautionary measure.

ailsa, Friday, 18 May 2007 17:09 (sixteen years ago) link

That's right Ailsa, polls are shit because most people who vote on a poll have only heard TWO WHO albums.

Keith, Friday, 18 May 2007 17:12 (sixteen years ago) link

Funnily enough, I only have two Who albums: Greatest Hits and Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy. I bought the latter because it has a B&S cover on it.

Madchen, Friday, 18 May 2007 17:16 (sixteen years ago) link

I don't own any Who albums, but I don't vote in polls either. I too was only joking. Look, smiley ---> :-)

(Polls aren't shit, really, but I do like a good moan about irrelevancies sometimes at the end of a crap day)

ailsa, Friday, 18 May 2007 17:19 (sixteen years ago) link

3 disc greatest hits from avalanche for 5.99 some years ago. live at leeds for a fiver from fopp. both good. all i need. i saw a band at tut's the other night called the draytones (i think) that wanted to be the who, though.

Gukbe, Friday, 18 May 2007 17:21 (sixteen years ago) link

I was joking too, Ailsa, look ---> :)

'>' would have fucked up on old ILX.

Keith, Friday, 18 May 2007 17:25 (sixteen years ago) link

By the way, you don't need to apologise every time you say something bad about ILX! I had months to prepare for all of that!

Keith, Friday, 18 May 2007 17:27 (sixteen years ago) link

(not that it really helped)

Keith, Friday, 18 May 2007 17:27 (sixteen years ago) link

I'm only apologising here because I am amongst friends and I didn't mean it as a thing that was bad about ILX anyway.

The fact that I can use > and < for fake html and pointing at things is the best thing about BBcode!

ailsa, Friday, 18 May 2007 17:30 (sixteen years ago) link

I will be there at about 7, I think. Landing at about 5, time to get to the hotel and grab a quick eat.

aldo, Friday, 18 May 2007 18:04 (sixteen years ago) link

OK. I will be out of work at about five - that'll give me time to go home and get dinner and come back out rather than hanging around the town for two hours.

(Unless onimo or someone else fancies keeping me company in the pub for a couple of hours and a dodgy beer'n'burger)

ailsa, Friday, 18 May 2007 19:41 (sixteen years ago) link

I could maybe finish a bit early and grab something to eat with you - depending on how busy I am and what time I get in at. I'm on a flexitime mission at the moment and I've become a total slave to the clock.

onimo, Sunday, 20 May 2007 20:05 (sixteen years ago) link

i'm working till 10pm on wednesday but i should be able to join you for a swift one somewhere.

grimly fiendish, Sunday, 20 May 2007 20:40 (sixteen years ago) link

Wednesday? I thot yese were going out on Friday, no?

stet, Sunday, 20 May 2007 20:42 (sixteen years ago) link

Friday was a plan, yes. But now aldo is coming up on Wednesday, so that means pub-going is happening then. Friday is still possibly a possibility, perhaps, though probably not since it was something me and grimly had said ages ago and he's probably gone and double-booked himself, the big tit.

ailsa, Sunday, 20 May 2007 20:45 (sixteen years ago) link

RJG, Sunday, 20 May 2007 23:57 (sixteen years ago) link

Is that like D I S C O ?

Madchen, Monday, 21 May 2007 09:47 (sixteen years ago) link

Or D I V O R C E ?

Madchen, Monday, 21 May 2007 09:48 (sixteen years ago) link

not sure i'm going to be able to get out tonight now. sorry. i'll try to play it by ear. although you'll all be so pissed by the time i finish work anyway ... :)

grimly fiendish, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 09:49 (sixteen years ago) link

I shall look forward to seeing you if you make it. First one in Sporto to grab a decent table pls.

aldo, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 10:17 (sixteen years ago) link

I think I'm having a dodgy Wetherburger with ailsa at 6pm so we should be in Sporto by 7.

Rhoderick Dhu next door might be less busy and still has big screens...

onimo, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 10:20 (sixteen years ago) link

I will probably meet you for a Wetherburger, though 6 might be slightly pushing it for me. Which one?

I am easy on the pub front.

aldo, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 10:54 (sixteen years ago) link

Edward G Wylie, on Bothwell St.

onimo, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 11:18 (sixteen years ago) link

so how was it? sorry i missed you, aldo (and indeed fappery in general). i ended up working late, with the car, because i had to drive to kilmarnock at lunchtime. think tomorrow's fucked as well. i'm off to hide under a stone and mutter into my sideburns.

grimly fiendish, Thursday, 24 May 2007 21:21 (sixteen years ago) link

But great sideburns they are. Probably.

aldo, Thursday, 24 May 2007 22:31 (sixteen years ago) link

five months pass...

This never happened.

Alba, Wednesday, 24 October 2007 09:55 (sixteen years ago) link

three years pass...

Without having read a single word of this thread I say this: I think we will be visiting, but it might take us a year or so to save up to do it. I'm really excited about this trip.

AMD, Monday, 28 February 2011 15:45 (thirteen years ago) link

one year passes...

Tell me about it!

Long story but, within a morning's notice I booked a 4 night trip there beginning this friday.

And yes, there's both an Optimo and Instruments of Rapture nights on the same weekend (!!!!!!!!).

EDB, Tuesday, 31 July 2012 19:51 (eleven years ago) link

Also, I have no idea about anything in Glasgow other than the Sub Club, so I will take any tips I can get. Thanks.

EDB, Tuesday, 31 July 2012 19:54 (eleven years ago) link

I'll be at optimo on Friday and Horse Meat Disco at the berkeley suite on the saturday. see you at one (or both?). You are coming up from London but you're from the US, is that correct EDB?

jed_, Tuesday, 31 July 2012 20:34 (eleven years ago) link

Close! I'm from Canada, specifically Toronto, and am generally just impressed that anyone here knows/remembers that.

EDB, Tuesday, 31 July 2012 22:04 (eleven years ago) link

damn, i should have known that, in fact, since i've spent so much time there. are you on your own or with friends? i used ilx webmail to send you a PM with my number and my direct email.

jed_, Tuesday, 31 July 2012 22:10 (eleven years ago) link

Cool, though I received no such webmail (that email address was recently deactivated and evidently doesn't forward things anymore) but if you'd like to resend it to 3dd1e b4cal at gmail.com feel free.

I'll probably be a mix of time with my brother and time alone.
