I might be alone handed.

we'll see, I suppose.

― c/n (Cozen), Saturday, 2 July 2005 00:09 (eighteen years ago) link

I would like to be part of a team. Any team.

― Ally C (Ally C), Saturday, 2 July 2005 00:42 (eighteen years ago) link

not sure you're a team player tho, cookie

― dahlin (dahlin), Saturday, 2 July 2005 13:56 (eighteen years ago) link

I wonder if he'll play any funky house

― c/n (Cozen), Saturday, 2 July 2005 15:27 (eighteen years ago) link

the plug will be pulled!

Are people going to see Dot to Dot then? It's that or being dragged to see War of the Worlds against my will, or watching Live8.

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 2 July 2005 16:15 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm curious as to why Dot to Dot aren't part of Live8. Or War of the Worlds.

― Alba (Alba), Saturday, 2 July 2005 16:44 (eighteen years ago) link

i'm not there - i hope this doesn't mean cozen is on his own

We missed you, Colin. Keith, you were good. You should get Cut Copy the next time they come over. They would be a perfect Optimo band, for me.

Two ABC visits in a week. I practically LIVE there.

― Ally C (Ally C), Sunday, 3 July 2005 02:11 (eighteen years ago) link

the ABC was far, far, far too hot. you'd think if they could spend a million pounds plus doing the place up they could at least put in some air conditioning. and it took an hour to get a drink at the bar, and the sound system was way too quiet..moan moan moan.

anyway, despite gripes glad to hear that you were there ally. i knew jed wouldn't make it as i had a feeling his 'team' would let him down.

as for cut copy, i would love to have them play. i saw them earlier in the year and they were great fun. i just don't know how to go about contacting them. how about dot to dot playing some time? we could do a big discount for ilx'ers.

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Sunday, 3 July 2005 02:26 (eighteen years ago) link

Blimey, we would LOVE to play. But would people accept a bunch of indie no-hopers? We might get lynched!

The heat was palpable, yes, but not as bad as the Woodside! The bar queue annoyed me when I wanted to dance to 'Maps' etc in a great 20 minute section and was stuck there. The sound was loud enough I guess, but was that it at it's limit? The ABC seems an OK place, overall.

I am listening to 'Sailing' by Christopher Cross. This is making me very happy before I go to sleep.

― Ally C (Ally C), Sunday, 3 July 2005 02:32 (eighteen years ago) link

Sorry I couldn't make it. I didn't finish at work till 12.30 and wasn't really in the mood. I like the ABC though. I've been there twice in a week too, but I guess Anthony & The Johnsons didn't need to be so loud or cool. Maybe I like the ABC2 more.

Blimey, we would LOVE to play. But would people accept a bunch of indie no-hopers? We might get lynched!

Just play a 30 minute extended version of that opening instrumental and you'll be fine.

― Alba (Alba), Sunday, 3 July 2005 09:27 (eighteen years ago) link

Sorry I couldn't make it either. I couldn't be arsed.

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 3 July 2005 09:51 (eighteen years ago) link

i knew jed wouldn't make it as i had a feeling his 'team' would let him down.

i always come to BRWH's! i think i've been to every one since Raumschiere (sp?). however, you are right, i'm crap to have missed it :(

― jed_ (jed), Sunday, 3 July 2005 10:28 (eighteen years ago) link

dottodot@optimo cool!

― jed_ (jed), Sunday, 3 July 2005 10:29 (eighteen years ago) link

we missed you, colin.

stirmonster, you practically made my year with the perfect twenty minute section starting w/the mingling bells of mayer's maps and brutalga square and the 5, 10, 15 minute wait for the main line of dexter to come in.

I should have some pictures of basteroid up on flickr soon enough.

― c/n (Cozen), Sunday, 3 July 2005 15:07 (eighteen years ago) link

I didn't notice the heat really but the volume level was really strange - it would have perfectly easy to hold a decent conversation in there. in fact, they could have had newsnight review or question time in there. maybe you could book them for the next brwh?

― c/n (Cozen), Sunday, 3 July 2005 15:11 (eighteen years ago) link

spawn o sting looked creepily like his daddy-o
and was equally as non rockin', with an odd chicken pecking head tic as he strummed his plugged-in acoustic guitar. the drummer circulated among the 25-strong crowd afterwards asking people to sign his guest book.mailing list thingie. then the painfully awkward banter-making bassist put them all to shame when he literally got on his knees before ally, begging him to buy a £5 tee-shirt. wow. desperate is not the word. sad, perhaps?
what a gig.

― dahlin (dahlin), Sunday, 3 July 2005 16:54 (eighteen years ago) link

An experience, at least.

All eyes on NEDFAP now, I suppose. But before that:

Friday, 8th July - GOODBYE 148 PARTY, 9PM ONWARDS. ALL WELCOME. xx

― Ally C (Ally C), Sunday, 3 July 2005 21:39 (eighteen years ago) link

YES MORE ROFFLES PLEASE

― c/n (Cozen), Sunday, 3 July 2005 21:43 (eighteen years ago) link

can we have a FAP a week on Friday? or Saturday? what else is happening in two weeks? a separate thread seems a bit excessive...

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Sunday, 3 July 2005 21:50 (eighteen years ago) link

look here now

I hope I'm able to be around for both nedfap and stevalixfap

― c/n (Cozen), Sunday, 3 July 2005 22:02 (eighteen years ago) link

i kept thinking i was coming over in two weeks not three...stupid me. this is excellent timing with Isolee then - fantastic.

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Sunday, 3 July 2005 22:21 (eighteen years ago) link

isolee when? i thought it was july 24th?

― jed_ (jed), Sunday, 3 July 2005 22:53 (eighteen years ago) link

at optimo i mean.

― jed_ (jed), Sunday, 3 July 2005 22:53 (eighteen years ago) link

ah thats right then, *confusion*

result!

― jed_ (jed), Sunday, 3 July 2005 22:54 (eighteen years ago) link

Argh, Isolee is the Sunday night before the busiest week of my life. Argh.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Monday, 4 July 2005 12:05 (eighteen years ago) link

Are tickets in advance needed for Isolee/Optimo then?

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Monday, 4 July 2005 12:07 (eighteen years ago) link

no.

― jed_ (jed), Tuesday, 5 July 2005 00:39 (eighteen years ago) link

goin early and queing is though.

― jed_ (jed), Tuesday, 5 July 2005 00:40 (eighteen years ago) link

i think stewart should do a feature on ally and his new facial hair for beard. i definitely think it's been a major influence on dot to dot's new RAWK direction

― dahlin (dahlin), Tuesday, 5 July 2005 11:45 (eighteen years ago) link

I quite fancy a drink and a look at Ms Lander in the cellar. Does anyone else? RJG? Ally C? It won't be your local for long.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 6 July 2005 17:35 (eighteen years ago) link

Alba, when is this? Tonight?

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 6 July 2005 17:45 (eighteen years ago) link

Oh yes, just now, I meant.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 6 July 2005 17:47 (eighteen years ago) link

I haven't had my tea, yet, and we are supposed to be packing

I will shout "cook"

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 6 July 2005 17:48 (eighteen years ago) link

I phoned him

he says he hasn't had his tea, yet, either but that we could go for "one"

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 6 July 2005 17:51 (eighteen years ago) link

Neil is at the pictures all night and I am bored. I phoned Cook earlier and he was supposed to be packing when I requested him for a diversion from watching shit telly. I am up for a pint if this is happening (I don't even know what is happening, does it involve Camera Obscura?).

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 6 July 2005 17:52 (eighteen years ago) link

I think it's a BYOCO party.

I'll pop over to the old 148 ranch and see if I can rouse the troops.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 6 July 2005 17:54 (eighteen years ago) link

I am wearing shorts

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 6 July 2005 17:55 (eighteen years ago) link

Should I move from my house Glasgow-wards and wait for a phone call (I think only Ally has my number?)? Or should I continue watching Coronation Street and being bored? Will someone tell me if something is going on that will relieve my boredom?

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 6 July 2005 17:57 (eighteen years ago) link

I think "one" may only mean "two", in this instance, so I don't know how worthwhile an excursion it'd be if it isn't on your way home from work or down the hill from your flat

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 6 July 2005 17:59 (eighteen years ago) link

I am going to their decaying house and they are going to eat their tea and then I will try to persuade them that boxes are for squares and they need to have a drink at the Brunswick Cellars, where CL may be barmaiding and shooting us 'ha ha' looks every now then. If this sounds interesting then do join us.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 6 July 2005 18:00 (eighteen years ago) link

Fucking hell these chocolates are good.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 6 July 2005 18:00 (eighteen years ago) link

oh and big brother is on at ten, so

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 6 July 2005 18:00 (eighteen years ago) link

I have no better options, so I may jump up by teh BC. Please come out as it will be a wasted trip otherwise (I am eating my tea so you have about fifteen minutes to post back if this is the case)

I didn't know CL had a real job. I should get out more.

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 6 July 2005 18:03 (eighteen years ago) link

I will come out.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 6 July 2005 18:05 (eighteen years ago) link

I am just miffed because there are three pub quizzes on in Paisley tonight but the mister has gone to the pictures, leaving me with a free evening, and has kidnapped all of my local mates to go with him thereby robbing me of my pub quiz team. bah. I might come out, if I do I will be in the Cellars within the hour.

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 6 July 2005 18:08 (eighteen years ago) link

what a world
