I was gonna comment on The Popstarz Debate but then I realised that I like and dislike club nights entirely on the basis of whether or not they let me in when I was underage, which is kinda useless to, y'know, adults.

I wish I could see Girls Aloud or Miss Kittin.

Truth is, I may have actually had more fun at Club Seal than Vitalic

Flattered and all, but you are a mentalist. The Output night on the 26th looks pretty fantastic. Is this a proper Black Strobe decksnfx thing?

Also, am I the only person who finds rebranding the Camden Palace as 'Koko' utterly hilarious?

come and see Girls Aloud, Greg and Barima! there are no reasons for you not to.

It's looking less and less likely that I will be chez Kittin tonight :(

Girls Aloud? Holy fuck I wish I were in London this week. :(

Man, I'd love to see Girls Aloud on Saturday. But I've already said I'm going to see The Schla La Las who are, like, the indie Girls Alound or something.

I've been overdoing the social which is why although I am TEMPTED I shall be good and STAY IN until Club Pfffft.

(Probably)

i'm even a bit tempted by one of these oldskool rave nights sometimes

― Alienus Quam Reproba (blueski), Thursday, 17 February 2005 13:52 (8 years ago) Permalink

Well to be fair the GA'll probably be a five-song PA or something. But Ria and I are treating it as an hors d'oeuvre for the MAIN TOUR in May!

I think I may have to skip Club FT this month. but when can I DJ at it?

― The Lex (The Lex), Thursday, 17 February 2005 13:53 (8 years ago) Permalink

Lex are you going to the GA gig in Hammersmith in May? i can't wait!

Steve - Lukey of this parish swears by Raindance. I've not been tempted yet.

― pete b. (pete b.), Thursday, 17 February 2005 13:58 (8 years ago) Permalink

yeah but we've got tickets for May 29 whereas everyone else seems to have them for the 28th :(

If any of you fancy a trip to Dublin, Black Strobe March 16th, at our club, and Optimo sometime in April, I think.

I was half thinking of trying to organise some friends to organise a party next time I'm in London, cos I want to DJ now, everywhere and anywhere!

do such things exist?! I have been awaiting the early 90s rave revival for YEARS!

― The Lex (The Lex), Thursday, 17 February 2005 14:14 (8 years ago) Permalink

they've existed for some time now. Camden Palace actually did one of the bigger ones for ages featuring Ratpack live etc. regularly.

think there was something at The Arches a few weeks back too, old skool vs new skool breaks sort of thing.

Butlins are doing some big 90s revival thing at their camps where the likes of Baby D play as well as a lot of rub pop stuff. madness...

i want to go to Dublin, and Black Strobe would be a good excuse, but it might be too soon i'll see...

― Alienus Quam Reproba (blueski), Thursday, 17 February 2005 14:22 (8 years ago) Permalink

Lex I have at least two great reasons for not seeing the G.A.! They are FINALS and POVERTY.

― Gravel Puzzleworth (Gregory Henry), Thursday, 17 February 2005 14:26 (8 years ago) Permalink

My friend has been to a couple of places selling themselves as "old school rave" but has reported back that they are really actually rub, so I'd be careful about which venue you choose. Alternatively just HAVE A FOOKIN' HOUSE PARTY with "Rave Nation 92".

― Lucretia My Reflection (Lucretia My Reflection), Thursday, 17 February 2005 14:43 (8 years ago) Permalink

dont forget back to yours at herbal with martin landsky on feb 26th

its a good night, the resident, margeret dygas is a wicked dj

― ambrose (ambrose), Thursday, 17 February 2005 14:47 (8 years ago) Permalink

that 26/2 output thing looks fantastic; unfortunately we'll be in france then, though.

a. Kiss my arse. b. It's tempting, but I'm in poverty.

come and see Girls Aloud, Greg and Barima! there are no reasons for you not to.

Besides the fact that I like 3 out of almost 30 songs they've released, you mean.

Barima enjoyed Club Seal more because i wasn't there

― Alienus Quam Reproba (blueski), Thursday, 17 February 2005 15:54 (8 years ago) Permalink

looks like half of London ILX is decamping to the continent next weekend

― Alienus Quam Reproba (blueski), Thursday, 17 February 2005 15:54 (8 years ago) Permalink

Dave, shall we have a house party with 'Rave Nation 92' ? And nothing else? Not even guests?

― alix (alix), Thursday, 17 February 2005 16:00 (8 years ago) Permalink

who else is off to the continent?

― toby (tsg20), Thursday, 17 February 2005 16:04 (8 years ago) Permalink

Dave, yes we should. If only because our neighbours will not be happy. HA HA HA. Are you going to be home tonight in time for Dub Dob Deed?

― Lucretia My Reflection (Lucretia My Reflection), Thursday, 17 February 2005 16:11 (8 years ago) Permalink

Top 3 ILXors to team with on the dancefloor:

1. Stevem
2. The Lex
3. Cis

Proven by mentalism.

― Deerninja B4rim4, Plus-Tech Whizz Kid (Barima), Thursday, 17 February 2005 16:40 (8 years ago) Permalink

I do hope to be home in time for Dirge Dob Dude. I will be eating my tasteless pasta also! Literally 7 minutes of fun!

― alix (alix), Thursday, 17 February 2005 16:41 (8 years ago) Permalink

i am rubbish to team with, don't listen to B.

what the hell is a Dirge Dob Dude?

― Alienus Quam Reproba (blueski), Thursday, 17 February 2005 18:19 (8 years ago) Permalink

i can't dance with anyone - i guess it's ok when you're surrounded by loads of other people tho (as is always the case at The End)

Barima you forgot Tim F in that there list.

Girls Aloud were amazing, we're all utterly in love with Cheryl now! it was even worth putting up with GAY for.

― The Lex (The Lex), Sunday, 20 February 2005 21:17 (8 years ago) Permalink

but Alan did the test that proves she's as gay as the next man...

― Sven Bastard (blueski), Sunday, 20 February 2005 21:29 (8 years ago) Permalink

So is anyone else up for Tiga-2ManyDJs-Black Strobe on Saturday then?

(I may not be after Club FT and Club Seal the previous two nights, but I'm going to try my absolute best to be...)

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 21 February 2005 14:32 (8 years ago) Permalink

bah. the only big events i could find on in Stockholm this weekend are gigs by And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead and The Mars Volta. Tho there is a goth club called Ultrachrome...

― Sven Bastard (blueski), Monday, 21 February 2005 14:38 (8 years ago) Permalink

BLACK METAL FAP!

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 21 February 2005 17:11 (8 years ago) Permalink

I think we should follow our latent goth tendencies whilst we're out there. Holiday Goths.

― alix (alix), Monday, 21 February 2005 17:19 (8 years ago) Permalink

Goths On Ice

"So is anyone else up for Tiga-2ManyDJs-Black Strobe on Saturday then?"

I totally am. TOTALLY! And Matt, I find it hard to believe you couldn't handle three nights of dancemania in a row. Don't start sewing the seeds of possible cancellation, yo!

Nah, Steve-n's a red herring ;-).

Club Make Like A Circus Seal on Fri could be a go, but only if there are sexpots.

Haha, you know me too well ;) I suspect that making sure I behave myself on Thursday will be the key to this.

Too verdamnt expensive.

15 pound seems like the norm in london for anything good., eg fabric etc. apart from plastic people, there no where good for cheap

Jeez that looks like a fun show

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Thursday, 24 February 2005 22:41 (8 years ago) Permalink

Actually, Ambrose, the massive UK hip hop night currently playing at Rhythm Factory that I'm too tired to go to is a fiver in.

― Deerninja B4rim4, Plus-Tech Whizz Kid (Barima), Thursday, 24 February 2005 23:13 (8 years ago) Permalink

haha b4rim4, these guys i know are the backing band something for that night! they haver to learn all the estelle tunes or something and render them in a live stylee. mental.

and yeh obviously there are odd thigns, i was exaggerating quite a bit. but i expect to pay about 10 quid for 1/2 hrs pure enjoyment out of a 3/4 hr night. you know , the time when you are just really having fun instead of feeling tired or being pused or too hot or just waiting for someone to come on etc.

― ambrose (ambrose), Friday, 25 February 2005 18:20 (8 years ago) Permalink

i'll be back in london for a couple of days in the first or second week of june -- any idea what's happening then?

― geeta (geeta), Friday, 25 February 2005 19:26 (8 years ago) Permalink

I see the statue of Kelly Holmes in Trafalgar Square coming to life with fearful consequence and only four men with proton packs on their backs, fire in their hearts and steel in their bellies will stand a hope against it.
