OK.
I found someone with a dot between the two names after I replace the numbers with letters, so that’s not you? Can’t find another. Found you on the tweets though, and just followed you.

weird. i should just be there - no dots or nothing.

ah - emil.y - you know Noel P? I've known him from round our way for years.
― dog latin, Wednesday, 6 February 2013 00:12 (eleven years ago) link
Cvpb04rd Mvs1c N0el? Yeah, he's a great dude.
We should have a FISU FAP at Northern Lights before Swans. Or maybe after, if we want to be sentient at the show.
― emil.y, Wednesday, 6 February 2013 00:29 (eleven years ago) link
Sounds good. Yes, that Noel. Small world, he was a fellow promoter in Herts before he moved.

Anyone fancy seeing Simon Munnery? http://www.theoldmarket.com/simon-munnery-fylm-makker/

^ put me down as a possible on that, will get back to you (if yr still going)
dunno if anyone else is interested in a daytrip but editions mego are putting on a fantastic-looking avant-noise all-dayer at bexhill:

I’m sure it won’t sell out, so let me know and we can get tickets up to the night.
― Chewshabadoo, Monday, 11 February 2013 17:49 (eleven years ago) link
I’ll stick the Bexhill thing into the diary and provisionally agree!
― Chewshabadoo, Monday, 11 February 2013 17:50 (eleven years ago) link
Good to see Mark Fell on that line-up.
― Chewshabadoo, Monday, 11 February 2013 17:53 (eleven years ago) link
You were asking about The Great Escape lineup?

― Chewshabadoo, Tuesday, 12 February 2013 11:08 (eleven years ago) link
hmmm, that doesn't look great does it? not sure i want to see any of that lot
― acid in the style of tenpole tudor (NickB), Tuesday, 12 February 2013 14:11 (eleven years ago) link
I don’t even know who 95% of the line-up are, which suggests it’s not my thing at all.
― Chewshabadoo, Tuesday, 12 February 2013 14:32 (eleven years ago) link
Well, it is meant to focus on new-ish music, being an industry "thing". But the ones I do know are pretty crap, too. Having said that, this always happens: it's utter shit right up until the last minute, when they announce a couple of great additions that I'd love to see but still won't be willing to buy a ticket for. And then I'll just be all grumpy for a bit, until I forget about it.
― emil.y, Tuesday, 12 February 2013 15:10 (eleven years ago) link
yeah, it's usually small/unknown bands. last year Rhythms of the World sent a bunch of Hitchin acts up there to play.
― dog latin, Tuesday, 12 February 2013 15:20 (eleven years ago) link
"down there", maybe I should say, if we're gonna get polarist about it.
― dog latin, Tuesday, 12 February 2013 15:21 (eleven years ago) link
Also... you decided to call your band 'The Upskirts'? Really, guys?

Everyone go and see Charlie Straight!

They're a Britpop-influenced group from the Czech Republic who are much better than any British equivalents i can call to mind. They're one of the biggest bands in their region (and have won an MTV Europe award) so it's an unusual chance to see them in a much smaller venue. They're also unbelievably lovely. Might not be everyone's style but i think they're pretty great.

A friend of mine is playing at Westhill Community Centre on March 1st, I shall be attending. http://theexperimentalsoundingboard.tumblr.com/MARC1st
― Chewshabadoo, Monday, 18 February 2013 17:17 (eleven years ago) link
Ooh, that sounds interesting. A little pricy seeing as I don't know who any of them are, but the mister's away that weekend so I need to find things to occupy myself, so maybe...
― emil.y, Monday, 18 February 2013 17:23 (eleven years ago) link
A little bit expensive I will agree. Ben UFO and Paul Woolford doing a 5-hour b2b this Friday at Life is only £5! I guess that will make most money on the bar though, do they even sell drinks at the WCC? I’ve never been there.
― Chewshabadoo, Monday, 18 February 2013 18:35 (eleven years ago) link
Totally read WCC as 'White Chocolate Cheesecake' there. Too much time on ilx.
But as for the Westhill Hall, nope they don't sell drinks, it's BYOB. Which I think is a plus point.

The brunette was rushed to hospital but died later.
WTF? That's terrible fucking writing, and actually quite offensive in its clumsiness.

Aw man, they were ace. I think I got a little over-excited when they pulled out the Mute Synth, though. ^__^

Yeah, the circuit-boardy thing! I did take a few photos, but, uh, I've got about 6 months worth of photos to stick up on flickr/facebook, so it might take a while...

I am very tempted by Bexhill, but will see how the finances are in April.
― Chewshabadoo, Tuesday, 19 February 2013 17:13 (eleven years ago) link
Ben UFO and Paul Woolford tonight if any fancies making me just the weird old man in the club, rather than the alone weird old man in the club.
― Chewshabadoo, Friday, 22 February 2013 09:20 (eleven years ago) link
i do kind of fancy that but i've got a whole bunch of stuff to do tomorrow that i need to be semi-alive for. also i just realised that i never did get back to you about simon munnery, so i have been extremely lame, sorry matt
― acid in the style of tenpole tudor (NickB), Friday, 22 February 2013 09:35 (eleven years ago) link
otoh i did go and get a swans ticket in the end and probably up for pub quiz thing this week too if that is still happening (?), so not a total washout here
― acid in the style of tenpole tudor (NickB), Friday, 22 February 2013 09:39 (eleven years ago) link
Swans FAP yEAh!!
― dog latin, Friday, 22 February 2013 09:41 (eleven years ago) link
In the end I had a massive deadline (joys of freelancing workflow) so couldn’t make Simon Munnery anyway.
― Chewshabadoo, Friday, 22 February 2013 09:42 (eleven years ago) link
yeah i'm up for swans fap, nothing like the music of michael gira for bringing folk together
― acid in the style of tenpole tudor (NickB), Friday, 22 February 2013 09:49 (eleven years ago) link
the missus and i will be down for maybe a couple of days, so cool.

i can't do ben ufo tonight, godspeed chewshabadoo

Cheers. Is anyone going to Reich, yay, doing Radiohead, hmm.
― Chewshabadoo, Friday, 22 February 2013 14:26 (eleven years ago) link
Reich doing Radiohead, WTF????
pub quiz thing this week too if that is still happening - Yes! It is! You actually reminded me, there. Not having to do all the work this month meant I'd kind of forgotten about it. Hopefully we'll be back to having a good number of teams again this month.
Swans FAP will be good, but please don't let me destroy myself by Fisu too much, as it's my new band's debut gig the next night, so I have to be at least a little sentient.
