Brighton

I don't think I can afford Brötzmann, although tbh I REALLY want to go. Bah.

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...

Not back until early next week, but do some good Brötzmanning

mmil.y, is this music quiz thing still a thing?

err emil.y not mmil.y

helloooo brighton

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.

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!

btw is there a thurston moore lookalike in brighton? big tall guy that looked just like him stood watching

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.

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

I didn't realise that either! Super awesome news.

Where is the quiz? I'm officially down now, albeit sofa surfing while looking around rooms.

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.

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...

Cool. It’s in the diary!

good man!

I may not be able to make it this time, but I was wondering if they still do food in the evening?

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.

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

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.

how's the house hunting going anyway?

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?"

(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)

yeah, one of birds of delay became helm, the other one became heatsick, and both of them ended up on the pan label

ps come to brighton

Birds were great, yep.

COME TO BRIGHTON, SPACECADET.

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.

what bit of brighton have you ended up with?

The Muesli Mountain, not lived in BN2 before so it’s all new.

That's the bits off Southover Street? My girlfriend lives up there. It'll keep your calves healthy!

Aye, that’s the one. I was always heading up there to do to Archers, which is a great butcher and I’m now very close to it. I’m not very far up the hill, only 5 roads or so.

Does Brighton have a big Czech community? A friend's band is coming over to play The Great Escape and was wondering whether they might be able to advertise in Czech shops, bars, etc if there are any.

Hm, not that I can think of. I know one guy who does Eastern European folk music promotion, if that's related? Also, I found this though I can't understand what it says, but I guess they might do better: http://www.kotolna.com/

(Tell them to play Nottingham, that does have a massive Polish/Czech/Slovak community.)

Sadly bad weather meant fuck all people turned up so we postponed the quiz... still had a great evening, though I think we might have broken Nick. Oops.

Is it weekly?

Emily, just added you on that Facebook after finding an old quiz invite on there.

There are quizzes on every week, but it's a rotating lot of people who set them. We're the fourth Tuesday of the month. The others are Hold Up, Jon Born Bad and Melting Vinyl.

xp - cool, just accepted ^__^

That was good fun last night, but sorry if I was kind of a mumbling wreck by the end of it. Brutally long day today, only managed 90 minutes sleep last night :(

Also, I could murder a biscuit.

oh god

oh yeah i had an idle thought on my way home that the shape up and dance series was maybe where shut up and dance got their name from?

That's quite possible, actually, yeah. (re: shut up & dance)

shut up and dance ft. isla st clair

what the heck is 'i do it all for you' anyhow? 'if you can't stand the heat (get out of the kitchen)'?? these are made up songs right?

I think the latter was the first time I'd heard the phrase, without a YouTube I'm not sure how it goes.

Thanks emil.y! That website will be enormously useful!

Both Bucks Fizz tracks? I like the disengaged audience..
