How did it go?
― Andrew Farrell, Wednesday, 25 July 2012 11:30 (eleven years ago) link
I couldn't make this! I swear to do it next time though, so do let us know.
How does this sort of thing work in the age of the smartphone anyhow?

Mostly on trust. There were enough teams last night to keep an eye on each other, I think, but I'm pretty sure nobody even tried to use them.
We'll be doing it next month too, and the quiz itself is on every Tuesday, but I'll let you know what the date is when I work it out.
It was pretty fun, we got a lot of blank looks to some of the questions but the top two teams both did really well, and there was a good range of scores.

Oh yeah, I've just noticed on the flyer that it's every week. I could be dreadful at it on a regular basis!

We're still doing the quiz, btw.
But more importantly, HALLOGALLOWEEN is coming:http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8033/8045020277_f9dd928934.jpgHallogalloween @ The West Hill Pub by craigboney, on Flickr

Hah, I was about to contact my friend Joe Outer Church and alert him, but a quick check of Facebook suggests that Brighton is a small town :)
― Andrew Farrell, Wednesday, 3 October 2012 20:12 (eleven years ago) link
It is indeed.

Apparently Borderline is closing?

What? Shit! First Rounder and now this....

Hadn't been in there for ages, but feel sad for the old psych-head dudes that work there.
― Albert Crampus (NickB), Tuesday, 11 December 2012 17:24 (eleven years ago) link
Bad news about all the classic record stores closing, although my favourite‘s over the last few years have been One Stop Records and Rarekind.
Good news is after 2 years away, I’m moving back to Brighton next Monday! FAP?
― Chewshabadoo, Wednesday, 9 January 2013 16:36 (eleven years ago) link
And what‘s hot these days?
― Chewshabadoo, Wednesday, 9 January 2013 16:41 (eleven years ago) link
Also, I’m looking for a short-medium term room to let if anyone knows anyone looking and would like to share with a music obsessive and pretty decent cook who doesn’t mind sharing his meals.
― Chewshabadoo, Wednesday, 9 January 2013 16:43 (eleven years ago) link
w00t!
I’m moving back to Brighton next Monday! FAP?
yyy

Every time I’ve come down to visit for the odd week it has always felt like home I must say.

FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP.
There are some good shows and stuff coming up, too. Sadly the Thurston Moore/Colour Out of Space show sold out in a day so you'll miss out there.
I'll keep an ear out for rooms, not heard of anyone looking recently but it comes up relatively often.
― emil.y, Wednesday, 9 January 2013 17:07 (eleven years ago) link
never even heard about the thurston show, could be interesting though my days of being an SY/thurston stan seem like a very long time ago indeed
i am brötzmanning this weekend, so that should up my skronk levels a bit until the winter is thru
― impound the alarm (NickB), Wednesday, 9 January 2013 17:23 (eleven years ago) link
but yeah fap fap fap, someone make a plan
― impound the alarm (NickB), Wednesday, 9 January 2013 17:24 (eleven years ago) link
I don't think I can afford Brötzmann, although tbh I REALLY want to go. Bah.
The Thurston show is a CooS fundraiser, with quite a few people playing who I may or may not like more than Thurston himself...
― emil.y, Wednesday, 9 January 2013 17:25 (eleven years ago) link
should be good - think it kicks off at four or so with some film screening or other, then brötzy is doing his thing after that. don't mind shouting you a few drinks if you want...
― impound the alarm (NickB), Wednesday, 9 January 2013 17:32 (eleven years ago) link
Not back until early next week, but do some good Brötzmanning
― Chewshabadoo, Wednesday, 9 January 2013 18:02 (eleven years ago) link
mmil.y, is this music quiz thing still a thing?
― qbert yuiop (NickB), Tuesday, 15 January 2013 16:07 (eleven years ago) link
err emil.y not mmil.y
helloooo brighton
― qbert yuiop (NickB), Tuesday, 15 January 2013 17:07 (eleven years ago) link
It is! Back on the 22nd.
How was Brötzmann? Just couldn't eat that £17 entry fee in the end, particularly not after shelling out £25 for Residents tickets.
― emil.y, Tuesday, 15 January 2013 17:09 (eleven years ago) link
oh smashing. thanks! :)
brötz was great and the whole film thing before hand was actually really nice - good job put his work into context, him talking about growing up in the shadow of ww2 etc all very humanising (is that a word?). the trio itself was amazing!
― qbert yuiop (NickB), Tuesday, 15 January 2013 17:29 (eleven years ago) link
btw is there a thurston moore lookalike in brighton? big tall guy that looked just like him stood watching
― qbert yuiop (NickB), Tuesday, 15 January 2013 17:31 (eleven years ago) link
Oh, I think I saw on facebook or twitter that he was there? But then again it could've been a friend making the same mistake... The only TM lookalike I know is Luke from Helm, but he's like a little baby Thurston, it wouldn't have been him.
― emil.y, Tuesday, 15 January 2013 17:47 (eleven years ago) link
hmm i wonder... (not luke from helm btw. i've seen him before when he was in birds of delay with steeeve)
just saw that thurston is playing with andy pyne when he does his thing there. that'll be good cos andy is great! also chuffed for him cos he's been a SY fan since way back iirc
― qbert yuiop (NickB), Tuesday, 15 January 2013 17:56 (eleven years ago) link
I didn't realise that either! Super awesome news.
― emil.y, Tuesday, 15 January 2013 18:12 (eleven years ago) link
Where is the quiz? I'm officially down now, albeit sofa surfing while looking around rooms.
― Chewshabadoo, Tuesday, 15 January 2013 22:02 (eleven years ago) link
West Hill (pub, not hall). 8pm (usually a little bit later of a start, to be honest, but best to get down before half past), Tuesday 22nd. Free entry, bottle of wine for the winning team.
I'd better get working on some more questions, actually.
― emil.y, Tuesday, 15 January 2013 22:06 (eleven years ago) link
was gonna say matt, i'm only half of a pair idiots atm, so if you fancy swelling the ranks COME JOIN WITH US
hope things are going well so far anyhow...
― qbert yuiop (NickB), Tuesday, 15 January 2013 23:23 (eleven years ago) link
Cool. It’s in the diary!
― Chewshabadoo, Wednesday, 16 January 2013 07:47 (eleven years ago) link
good man!
― qbert yuiop (NickB), Wednesday, 16 January 2013 10:21 (eleven years ago) link
I may not be able to make it this time, but I was wondering if they still do food in the evening?
― Chewshabadoo, Monday, 21 January 2013 22:07 (eleven years ago) link
The West Hill do indeed do food in the evening (there is a cheaper burger offer for quiz nights, too). I think there's one night a week the chef has off - maybe Wednesdays? But I'd double check that rather than taking my word for it.
― emil.y, Monday, 21 January 2013 22:09 (eleven years ago) link
If you are able to make it Matt, I'll probably be getting there for 7.45-ish. The other one of us is apparently going to be running quite late, so gosh, sounds like I'm going to have ample opportunity to fully expose the tremendous bulging girth of my own ignorance, oops
― a la recherche du tempbans perdu (NickB), Tuesday, 22 January 2013 13:59 (eleven years ago) link
Thanks Emily. if I don’t make it tonight – which is looking unlikely – I’ll definitely make sure I can come to the next one.
― Chewshabadoo, Tuesday, 22 January 2013 14:04 (eleven years ago) link
how's the house hunting going anyway?
― a la recherche du tempbans perdu (NickB), Tuesday, 22 January 2013 14:06 (eleven years ago) link
I'm sure you'll be fine, Nick. We have a rather odd range of people turn up, from "absolute music dork" to "why are you even at a music quiz?"
― emil.y, Tuesday, 22 January 2013 14:26 (eleven years ago) link
(not luke from helm btw. i've seen him before when he was in birds of delay with steeeve)
oh, I wondered what happened to Birds of Delay, but I was clearly just not lurking on the right regional threads to find out
(they were rather good when they came to Oxford supporting Axolotl, back in the day when Oxford still had interesting gigs. then again I seemed to be the only person there who didn't know the promoter and therefore possibly the only paying customer, so maybe it is no surprise that nobody bothers to come to town any more)
― a panda, Malmö (a passing spacecadet), Tuesday, 22 January 2013 14:31 (eleven years ago) link
yeah, one of birds of delay became helm, the other one became heatsick, and both of them ended up on the pan label
― a la recherche du tempbans perdu (NickB), Tuesday, 22 January 2013 14:39 (eleven years ago) link
ps come to brighton
― a la recherche du tempbans perdu (NickB), Tuesday, 22 January 2013 14:45 (eleven years ago) link
Birds were great, yep.
COME TO BRIGHTON, SPACECADET.
― emil.y, Tuesday, 22 January 2013 14:48 (eleven years ago) link
I looked at a few houseshares on Gumtree, and I picked the only one I saw in person, so pretty painless really. Moving in this Friday.
― Chewshabadoo, Tuesday, 22 January 2013 15:07 (eleven years ago) link
what bit of brighton have you ended up with?
― a la recherche du tempbans perdu (NickB), Tuesday, 22 January 2013 15:41 (eleven years ago) link
The Muesli Mountain, not lived in BN2 before so it’s all new.
