like Ford Kiernan
Braithwaite spent all Saturday night looking like him holding in a particularly awkward shit, are you sure it wasn't him?

Have been making some sunn o))) mutterings among friends, so might be at that.
― ailsa, Wednesday, 21 October 2009 17:41 (fourteen years ago) link
Despite the fact I'm not convinced SunnO)))'s dynamic and Stereo's sound design will be a match made in heaven, I've got my ticket for that one already. Espers: hmm. Got a promo of the new album but not listened yet. Might well try for that too.

I'm going to Sunn O))). It'll be ear-bursting. Hopefully.

This isn't good news:

Some grist to the mill for the "Mono is pish" crew, but if this means the venues go down the shitter -- and, despite Tannock's optimism, that's got to be a fear --then it's a major loss.
― What do you want? This ain't an egg shop (grimly fiendish), Friday, 30 October 2009 14:18 (fourteen years ago) link
Mono is pish but i'd miss stereo.
― Pedro Paramore (jim), Friday, 30 October 2009 14:27 (fourteen years ago) link
Would miss Stereo and the 78. If I had money and a record player I would probably miss Monorail.

Why did he warn the council he was about to do the old bust-and-reborn thing? Eeejit.
I'd miss Mono, for sure/
― stet, Friday, 30 October 2009 15:07 (fourteen years ago) link
He was warned about paying his debts for Stereo but it was in one ear and out the other.
― Suggest Gandhi (onimo), Friday, 30 October 2009 15:19 (fourteen years ago) link
I'd miss stereo, it's great
those gigs look great, ward fowler
― coz (webinar), Friday, 30 October 2009 18:28 (fourteen years ago) link
great
Don't honestly think I'd miss any of the venues if their ethos could continue elsewhere, if that makes sense. Had some good nights in all of them, but I used to have good nights in the Woody and the RAFA and the Bedsit and various other places as well.
Keep Stereo going til I've gone to see Sunn O))) though, eh?
― ailsa, Saturday, 31 October 2009 01:53 (fourteen years ago) link
anybody up for a pre-sunn o))) drink on sunday?
― Ward Fowler, Thursday, 3 December 2009 12:41 (fourteen years ago) link
I'm going to probably have to dash home between work & the gig but will be there for the show if not earlier drinks.
― krakow, Thursday, 3 December 2009 13:09 (fourteen years ago) link
Aye! Upstairs in Stereo? What sort of time were you thinking?
― What do you want? This ain't an egg shop (grimly fiendish), Thursday, 3 December 2009 17:56 (fourteen years ago) link
What time is the gig? An early one anyway?
― krakow, Thursday, 3 December 2009 18:18 (fourteen years ago) link
Shit, I don't actually know if I've got tickets or not (mate was supposed to be arranging, has been remarkably reticent about it).
― ailsa, Thursday, 3 December 2009 18:59 (fourteen years ago) link
Doors 7.30, according to my ticket. Anyone know if there's any kind of support?
― What do you want? This ain't an egg shop (grimly fiendish), Thursday, 3 December 2009 19:33 (fourteen years ago) link
Bong are supporting. They are definitely worth seeing.

― krakow, Thursday, 3 December 2009 20:13 (fourteen years ago) link
Nice one: thank you. It'll be good to meet you, too!
― What do you want? This ain't an egg shop (grimly fiendish), Thursday, 3 December 2009 20:30 (fourteen years ago) link
great! see you in the bar, grimly, not long after doors open?(hope you can make it too, ailsa - just today i noticed that ticket place under the arches still had posters up for the gig, so maybe it is not sold out - tbh i thought it wld be, by now)
ty for the tip off abt bong, krakow, tho im such an old fart these days i find that one monolothic drone outfit per evening is usually enough (also, will probably be able to FEEL em through the floorboards w/ a bit of luck) - am also contemplating earplugs, which i know is kinda lame but i think maryanne amacher was my tipping point into tinnitus :-(
― Ward Fowler, Thursday, 3 December 2009 21:40 (fourteen years ago) link
Bong are more psychedelic, at least when I saw them at Halloween. It's transportive.
― krakow, Thursday, 3 December 2009 21:48 (fourteen years ago) link
sold!
― Ward Fowler, Thursday, 3 December 2009 21:50 (fourteen years ago) link
is this gig rly £15? :(
― SKATAAAAAAAAAAA (cozwn), Thursday, 3 December 2009 22:20 (fourteen years ago) link
Aye. Isn't sold out. Shall consult my bank balance and my mate, and possibly see some of you in Stereo on Sunday.
― ailsa, Thursday, 3 December 2009 22:41 (fourteen years ago) link
Are you all hearing these firework-sounding explosions? Loud.
― stet, Thursday, 3 December 2009 23:05 (fourteen years ago) link
Nope? No explosions on the soo'side. Probably no bad thing.
― What do you want? This ain't an egg shop (grimly fiendish), Thursday, 3 December 2009 23:17 (fourteen years ago) link
Ppl are tweeting about it coming from the southside. Hmm
― stet, Thursday, 3 December 2009 23:20 (fourteen years ago) link
Should be at Sunn O))) on Sunday. Not got my tickets confirmed but seeing as I previewed it for the List I should be sorted! O'Malley said he and Greg Anderson will be playing three full stacks each! It's gonna be ridiculous.
― Stew, Thursday, 3 December 2009 23:25 (fourteen years ago) link
Whenever I think of Glasgow I think of this great song because as an proud American I have no other point of reference

I've seen sunnO))) before but wd like to again; £15 is steep tho
― SKATAAAAAAAAAAA (cozwn), Friday, 4 December 2009 00:28 (fourteen years ago) link
Cant afford it, too close to xmas.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Saturday, 5 December 2009 22:23 (fourteen years ago) link
OK: I'll be along tonight for 7.30 or as near as dammit. Looking forward to catching up with whoever else is there.
― What do you want? This ain't an egg shop (grimly fiendish), Sunday, 6 December 2009 13:27 (fourteen years ago) link
Sorry dude, tough night of beer has wiped me out, of cash and of will to live. Enjoy.
― ailsa, Sunday, 6 December 2009 15:08 (fourteen years ago) link
Boo. Catch you soon, though, I hope.
― What do you want? This ain't an egg shop (grimly fiendish), Sunday, 6 December 2009 15:31 (fourteen years ago) link
Definitely. We should arrange some sort of Christmas-related excuse for beer, I reckon.
― ailsa, Sunday, 6 December 2009 15:32 (fourteen years ago) link
I suggest west beer as a venue
― SKATAAAAAAAAAAA (webinar), Sunday, 6 December 2009 16:23 (fourteen years ago) link
I'd be up for West-style antics, aye. The problem is never where so much as when.
― What do you want? This ain't an egg shop (grimly fiendish), Sunday, 6 December 2009 16:30 (fourteen years ago) link
(Unless "where" is Mono, natch, and Ailsa throws a strop :)
― What do you want? This ain't an egg shop (grimly fiendish), Sunday, 6 December 2009 16:31 (fourteen years ago) link
or tennents (because I'm lazy)
― SKATAAAAAAAAAAA (webinar), Sunday, 6 December 2009 16:36 (fourteen years ago) link
Well, it does have decent beers.
― What do you want? This ain't an egg shop (grimly fiendish), Sunday, 6 December 2009 16:37 (fourteen years ago) link
And a door-to-door bus service to my flat.
west beer ftw
― stet, Sunday, 6 December 2009 16:38 (fourteen years ago) link
West Beer is good, aye. As is Tennents. West End is easier for me to get home from, right enough (for easier, read cheaper, obv).
Celtic are at home on Boxing Day, which will place me in the general vicinity of West Beer, if that's a plan?
― ailsa, Sunday, 6 December 2009 16:41 (fourteen years ago) link
I still don't have my rota for the Christmas and New Year weeks: I know I'm working Christmas Day but no idea about Boxing Day. If I'm not working, though, I think there'll probably be in-law action in which I should be involved. I doubt I'll be able to persuade them to go to West.
― What do you want? This ain't an egg shop (grimly fiendish), Sunday, 6 December 2009 17:05 (fourteen years ago) link
Right, I am occupied on the 10th, 17th, 18th, 25th, and cannot go out on the 30th or any night thereafter. Otherwise, is all good. Not working between Christmas and New Year.
― ailsa, Sunday, 6 December 2009 17:07 (fourteen years ago) link
I'm going to allow a zen-like combination of "my rota" and "what dates other dudes can make" to do my deciding for me :)
― What do you want? This ain't an egg shop (grimly fiendish), Sunday, 6 December 2009 17:10 (fourteen years ago) link
We really haven't got any better at this, have we? What we need is a special guest appearance by an out-of-towner to galvanise the troops.
