Saturday 1st December at La Cheetah, you want to go? I'm a wee bit obsessed myself. Submit X is one of the best techno albums in I don't know how long

I couldn't decide where to put this rediscovered gem but I think here will do.

Great song - love the RM Hubbert / Aidan Moffat album too.
Fun fact - that’s my friend Chris in that video.

Aye, the new one is excellent. Excited to see them play in December.

you're gonna have to colour me out from Gesloten Cirkel now, I have work all weekend and it's looking like a challenging weekend in work, the kind that doesn't lend itself to drinking and dancing til 3am :(
I'm really glad the CCA is open again - I was in on Saturday night for a bit and it's good to have somewhere in a weekend that isn't a struggle to get a seat in
― boxedjoy, Tuesday, 27 November 2018 10:15 (five years ago) link
Ah boo, hope your weekend goes OK, we should definitely catch up sometime. Good to hear the CCA's open again

is exchanging (non-shit) CDs for money something that can still happen in the world, specifically in this city? Or are music shops so deluged by the damn things that they just do *Munch-Scream* when you show up?

the satisfaction of knowing that things you're parting with are going to someone who was actively looking for it is pretty heartwarming too

this is what Glasgow looked like from The Campsies yesterday:
People of Glasgow and its environs. Here’s what your city looks like from above the thick fog that is currently enveloping it. Go a few miles into the Campsie Fells and the sun is warm, with views to leave you agog. pic.twitter.com/0cpQRAox9m— Iain Cameron (@theiaincameron) December 23, 2018

We saw something similar - though not quite as pretty - driving into town from Ayrshire. Also, the frost was so thick out in the countryside, it was like it had snowed. The trees were just beautiful.

When I was a wean my grandparents lived at the foot of the most westerly hill of the campsies, dumgoyne, and anecdotally it was generally more sunny compared to glasgow, "sunny dumgoyne" remains a family in-joke. So that video was gratifying to this emigrant

"They (artists) were certainly blamed when Dennistoun, another working-class neighbourhood in Glasgow’s East End was gentrified and art-washed, with rents and house prices to match."
I must have missed when all this happened here.

The opening of Glasgow's newest club Room 2 (formerly Chambre 69) was somewhat eventful last night. Had to wait half an hour to get in at about eleven o'clock which I think is the longest I've ever waited to get in a club, not sure if they're trying to make it into the Scottish Berghain or what. Later on the fire alarm went off and we all had to stand around on the street freezing our nuts off for a whole goddamn hour. Twitch played a belter of a set after though so wasn't a total disaster

a few of us went down about midnight but we hadn't bought tickets in advance and it was a total rammy, it was very much a 10pm "I'm in the mood to get drunk" impromptu decision to go out though so we should have known better
― boxedjoy, Sunday, 3 March 2019 10:25 (five years ago) link
how was it inside? I remember going to see Shackleton and having to wash the inside of the tote bag I had been carrying cos the place was just so manky
― boxedjoy, Sunday, 3 March 2019 10:26 (five years ago) link
It was fine inside except the bar staff insisted on pouring bottles and cans of beer into these plastic goblets that were an absolute liability on the dancefloor. Gotta say I don't remember Chambre 69 being that manky but that could have been booze related on my part :)
― paolo, Sunday, 3 March 2019 12:03 (five years ago) link
I made a New Year resolution to go out clubbing at least once a month but three out of my last four club nights out have been disappointing. The last Numbers thing at the Art School was a bit meh and went to see EZ at Subby and that was a let down too. Oh well, got to accept that you're going to get a dud every now and again I guess...
― paolo, Sunday, 3 March 2019 12:06 (five years ago) link
Anyway, we should definitely head out again sometime, I haven't got any nights out planned anytime soon but it'd be nice to catch up :)

Ooh, thanks for reminding me, I recorded it when it was on the new BBC Scotland channel a couple of weeks ago and haven't got round to watching it yet.

My pal's dog is the mascot of the Radisson Red. He (the dog) is some kind of brand ambassador or something. It's mental.

That Radisson advert is fucking grim. I bet that the minimum wage staff get regular bollockings for not having enough fun like that bit in Office Space where the waitress gets in trouble for not having enough badges or something.

G-Force died a month ago? Have to say that after the imports and soundtracks were going down because internet, the shop was losing a lot of its appeal, but they stuck around a long time. Good spot in town obviously.
