OK technically this isn't a Fancy-a-Pint since I myself won't be having pints, I'll just be pacing around making myself nervous. Anyhow I'm playing a show at the ICA in London on October the 10th & I hope some of you London ILMers will come out! I'm (The Mountain Goats: I'm bringing a bassist) on second-to-last, the other acts are Sybarite, Murcof & the New Tellers who ought to be the Gnutellas but whatevah - do come if you can, meeting ILM people in real life ROOLZ

John, what kind of music do you make (serious question)?

If someone can arrange the tech at the Boston end and I came to London, video link is v.possible.

Andrew L -

I sing/write songs in the Mountain Goats. We're on 4AD. It's acoustic-guitar stuff but isn't loose/confessional like folk music.

Julio -

I think I go on at nine or ten but I'm not sure. Not being from England I don't really know where the ICA is - its website anyhow is here: http://www.ica.org.uk/

Mark S I'll be in touch.

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 14:59 (twenty-three years ago)

yeah the location is good. if i don't have too much on the day i should be there.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 17:58 (twenty-three years ago)

If you're in London for any longer than that evening, why not call a proper FAP? I can't make the next day, Thursday the 11th, but should otherwise mostly be around.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 19:56 (twenty-three years ago)

Also, we met one Jon recently, and he was great, so we're sort of on a roll.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 19:57 (twenty-three years ago)

Thursday is the 10th - Friday is the eleventh!

I may manage to work out a proper FAP at that — I have to coordinate the various people on whom I need to call during my extremely brief time in London. Watch this space!

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 20:12 (twenty-three years ago)

Quite right, and sorry: I cannot do the Friday.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 21:57 (twenty-three years ago)

well Martin, flattery will get you everywhere (or, at least, it's my round)... not currently in London any of those days but that changes fast and I will watch this space.

― jon (jon), Wednesday, 2 October 2002 10:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Thank you for the info John D.

The ICA is a nice venue, not that big but not a shitehole, and it's right in the heart of central London.

― Andrew L (Andrew L), Wednesday, 2 October 2002 10:17 (twenty-three years ago)

so I did go and see the mountain goats yesterday and it was good day out of the lab for me. I didn't get to say hi though (I could have shouted out but didn't).

It came after this indie that I really annoyed me after a while. the second was a laptop person that played some acoustic guitar in this folk manner. that was better.

''I sing/write songs in the Mountain Goats. We're on 4AD. It's acoustic-guitar stuff but isn't loose/confessional like folk music.''

John- was the song abt that danish bloke true or did you make it up?

also anyone that puts a song with a line ''100 cubic centimeters'' definetely isn't confessional type stuff.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Friday, 11 October 2002 06:21 (twenty-three years ago)

did anyone else go?
