Aye, well, even a stopped clock is right twice a day <ducks>

PAIN JERK + EMERALDS @ the CCA on Tuesday 20th Jan

DAVID GRUBBS @ Mono on Wednesday 21st Jan

am also going to see THE MONKS documentary @ the GFT on Sunday 25th Jan 7.40pm

I'll be at the CCA on Tuesday night. Down front taking photos, probably wearing a scruffy blue cycling jacket & carrying a khaki messenger bag. Say hello!

I was there, precisely fitting my above description. No one said hello. :-(

See? Glaswegians. Unfriendly as f***.

to see the japanese noise band?

No offence, Krakow: much as I would have been interested to meet you and find out what Pain Jerk + Emeralds sound like, it clashed with something quite interesting on telly.

sorry krakow, i have not been v. well for the last couple of days so i didn't make it along to pain jerk (and i'm not going to grubbsy tonight) - wld love to hear a report, esp. gutted to have missed emeralds

will def. be going to instal, so maybe an ilx-related hookup then?

talking of instal, there is a slightly more substantial line-up given in the latest wire - herman nitsch, ultra-red, sachiko m & otomo yoshihide, joan la barbara, radu malfatti & klaus filip, phil minton's 100 member feral choir, jerome noetinger & jean philipp gross, tetsuo kogawa, rolf julius

Ah, if no-one was there, then fair enough, all is cool. I thought there were secret ilxors hiding in the shadows ignoring me.

Yeah. I'm up for Instal.

who's the george of george square? internet is no help on this one.

some king?

uh, internet better, George III.

ok, some king. thanks bones.

Hello Glasgow. Was in the pub with some Glasgow types last night, and thought it might be a good idea to try and do some more drinking. So, erm, should we try to do some drinking in the same place at the same time one day?

^ this.

After last night I don't think I want to touch alcohol ever again.

Ach, it was fun. But I might have to detox for a few weeks before doing it again :-)

You pair of lightweights.

I am Out of Practice - first proper actual drinking session of 2009, that. Also had shared a bottle of wine over dinner before even getting to pub.

^that.

anyone got a grudge against stereo? what about this coming weekend?

no grudge against Stereo, they do real beer, none of yr weird Sam Smiths shite - also nearer train station than Mono Seats are a bit wobbly and it has a tendency to be a bit busy though.

^ insert full stop between Mono and Seats.

true but if you get the sofa you are set for the night.

also, the staff are decent and some are actually pleasant! it's hard to believe it's a mono offshoot.

seats are from ikea is why they're wobbly.

the food is pretty dece too

Chris Corsano, Heather Leigh Murray Duo, RM Hubbert and Burnt Altar, Sat 28 Feb 7:30pm, Stereo, Glasgow, 0141 222 2254 £5

- saw corsano/murray at the CCA a cpl of months back and they were awesomely awesome, dunno the other two acts on the bill

my clubbing pal who used to run the 'open' nights up here is also taking me to see monolake at the sub club on friday 6th, wld love to score some smarties for that

FAP plan disintegrated, didn't it? Shall we try again? I'm not organising, like.

What's Heather's contribution to the duo? Is Corsano on straight-up drumming?

yeah, last time round corsano was full on improv attack and heather was screamy guitaring

hi, glasgow

hi nabisco.

ok ailsa, i'll bite! friday the 6th of february at stereo.

(i don't know when simon, nick et al work nights, just throwing that out there)

I think I'm OK for the 6th March. Might need a time machine for the 6th of February though...

:D

I'm going to take a miss on tonight. As much as I'd love to see Corsano, I just have too much other stuff to do, or at least prevaricate over.

my desire to see corsano is massively outweighed by my desire to not-see david keenan or hlm.

There is that.

I don't think tomorrow night is any good at all for me. Sorry. I assume I'll be stuck at work until late.

If anyone wants to see me make a twat of myself, I'm chairing the Julian Baggini/Complaint session at Aye Write! on Saturday (Mitchell Library, 4.30pm).

Tomorrow night at the CCA: Eric Carbonara, Ben Reynolds & The One Ensemble. I'll be there, if anyone fancies it, should be a good night.

Sorry - am cooking for friends tomorrow night.

i just stood on my own for 90 minutes then fucked off. thanks.

shite, i totally forgot :-(

sorry, jed. Jesus, Glasgow deserves its reputation for being pish at fapping.

:-( sorry ailsa, i was joking, i didn't mean to give you a guilt trip. shit joke, i know, but we should all meet up for real. i know it's hard to organise because several of the glasgow people work nights etc.

i wonder if ward f. is getting mad for it at the sub club tonight?

Ha, no, I had vague plans to meet a mate tonight and was seriously going to swing by stereo just in case anyone else showed, but the plans got nixed so I just scooted off homewards without remembering why I'd said stereo in the first place :-)

It was a general sorry for not being more specific earlier in the week, to be honest. We really are shite at this.

yes, we are. i've been totally shite in the past and only showed up at one fap so far but i think it needs to happen soon.

Visitors from elsewhere or restaurant bookings seems to be the key to successful previous attempts.

(I don't even want to think about how many grammatical errors I made there)

I'll pop across and make you meet up if you like.
