Morning all,

that, my friends, was a pretty tremendous weekend.

― Ed, Monday, 5 March 2007 09:34 (nineteen years ago)

Morning!

I am alone in the house for the first time in WEEKS! (Matt has taken Alice for a hearing appointment.) What shall I do with this unaccustomed freedom? (Apparently the answer so far is 'post to ILE'.)

― Archel, Monday, 5 March 2007 09:44 (nineteen years ago)

G'morning! It's sunny again, and I feel really well-rested for once.

― G00blar, Monday, 5 March 2007 09:49 (nineteen years ago)

I am in the arms of alkyhell and am wondering if starbucks will mix me a bloody mary.

― Ed, Monday, 5 March 2007 09:50 (nineteen years ago)

Oh geez. How late in the favela last night?

― G00blar, Monday, 5 March 2007 09:53 (nineteen years ago)

Archel: Sleeeeeeppp...

You'll regret it later!

― Mark G, Monday, 5 March 2007 09:54 (nineteen years ago)

We moved on to prague to get food (And better cheaper beers), 'bout 10:45 I think.

― Ed, Monday, 5 March 2007 09:55 (nineteen years ago)

Oh my lord, what did you people do yesterday? Is this the treasure hunt?

I spent most of Sunday in the arms of alkyhell until I made myself a huge fry-up. Then spent the evening watching Spinal Tap and giggling mightily and wondering which one of us will explode in a bizarre gardening accident.

What a freaking GREAT gig!!! That was fun, wasn't it? And I didn't lie about the chatting up quotient.

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 5 March 2007 10:49 (nineteen years ago)

SECOND PLACE IN TREASURE HUNT RAH!

― G00blar, Monday, 5 March 2007 10:51 (nineteen years ago)

What a freaking GREAT gig!!! That was fun, wasn't it? And I didn't lie about the chatting up quotient.

No you didn't, I has a date.

― Ed, Monday, 5 March 2007 10:58 (nineteen years ago)

WE R AWSUM A WINNER IS US

excellent weekend.

― emsk, Monday, 5 March 2007 10:59 (nineteen years ago)

We would not be stopped by rain, wind, "rules", or me.

That is a good gig, Ed.

― G00blar, Monday, 5 March 2007 11:00 (nineteen years ago)

SECOND PLACE?!?! AGAIN??!?

You wuz robbed. They hate us.

Yay for date! Even *I* got chatted up, though, err, I was a bit dubious as the bloke had attempted to chat up every girl in the venue before. I blame Groovy Bob. ;-) No, it was fun.

Metal Joe has decided he is on a quest to find me a boyfriend. I'm kinda scared, butat the same time, if anyone can do it... hrmmm. I told him "prefer long hair, non-smoker, pointy nose, likes Hawkwind and science fiction" and he's like... "That's everyone I know! You've just described half the staff at Terrorizer!!!" Frances is banned from ever introducing me to boys ever again.

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 5 March 2007 11:04 (nineteen years ago)

Argh, my boss is back. I don't want to have to work today.

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 5 March 2007 11:17 (nineteen years ago)

For once I'm posting on everyone's schedule and for once I'm not at work when I do post! HI DERE. Now if I could only find out where Andrew has placed the tickets for the Brett A. show tonight.

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 5 March 2007 11:19 (nineteen years ago)

AAAAARRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

No, no, no, bad news, argh!!!

Benjamin has left Secret Machines!

Just ... ::boggles::

I mean, the good news is, he is concentrating on School of Seven Bells, who I absolutely love. But still. I can't get my head around this.

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 5 March 2007 11:24 (nineteen years ago)

Recruit him.

― Ed, Monday, 5 March 2007 11:24 (nineteen years ago)

aargh [/i]

― emsk, Monday, 5 March 2007 11:25 (nineteen years ago)

Um. I don't cycle, but can I come anyway?

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 5 March 2007 11:26 (nineteen years ago)

Hmmm... Is this working now?

― mitya, Monday, 5 March 2007 11:28 (nineteen years ago)

Mitya! Can you post now? Obviously.

Jesus, I'm still in shock over the Benjamin thing. I never saw the classic lineup - mainly due to mine own fuckwittage, as I had the chance several times - and now I NEVER WILL.

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 5 March 2007 11:31 (nineteen years ago)

it says "all welcome"!

― emsk, Monday, 5 March 2007 11:33 (nineteen years ago)

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Even the lovely blond fringe of Boris will not distract me from my grief over Benjamin.

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 5 March 2007 11:42 (nineteen years ago)

I dropped by record and tape exchange on sunday and got a great Waterson:Carty CD from last year, called 'Holy Heathens and the Old Green Man', lots of wassail songs and carols, including a really sinister may carol. I feel a little guilty about buy folk ex-promo stuff from second hand stores, but I shall make karmic good by buying lauren from the devil's interval a drink at the next magpie's nest (they are also on the record).

― Ed, Monday, 5 March 2007 11:47 (nineteen years ago)

ed, thanks for the mails!

― emsk, Monday, 5 March 2007 11:51 (nineteen years ago)

How can Benjamin quit Secret Machines? That last album was so good! He didn't like the direction they were going? His brother was writing all the songs? Ack. A bummer.

― mitya, Monday, 5 March 2007 11:59 (nineteen years ago)

He's left to concentrate on his solo project (with his girlfriend and her sister) - the School of Seven Bells.

Who I really really like. But still.

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 5 March 2007 12:03 (nineteen years ago)

I am bouncing around the room today! SQUEEEEEEEE!

― G00blar, Monday, 5 March 2007 12:25 (nineteen years ago)

Ha ha, watch him bounce!

Maybe we should start planning that long-threatened ILX0rpollooza again, since there is going to be a comp.

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 5 March 2007 12:30 (nineteen years ago)

Could ILXORpalooza be a windmill sunday barbecue when it gets warm?

― Ed, Monday, 5 March 2007 12:49 (nineteen years ago)

That would actually be AWESOME!!!! In fact, perfect. Will ask Tim when we get some idea of when the comp will be finished.

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 5 March 2007 12:50 (nineteen years ago)

I'm guessing May time.

― Ed, Monday, 5 March 2007 12:51 (nineteen years ago)

Put my name down for it if you do organise it!

― Pashmina, Monday, 5 March 2007 12:54 (nineteen years ago)

AWESOME!!!! I would be so excited if you would come down and play! You and Frances could do a 30 minute analogue synth jam.

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 5 March 2007 12:56 (nineteen years ago)

When will the comp be finished?

It's entirely up to when the tracks be finished!

― Mark G, Monday, 5 March 2007 12:56 (nineteen years ago)

We're trying to give people a deadline, otherwise it will be the pissup/brewery typical ILX indecision by committee thing. Besides, we've been talking about ILX0rpollooza for ages!

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 5 March 2007 13:04 (nineteen years ago)

I just freaked out all the squares at sainsbury's, bopping up and down to sloan in my headphones. Where in the WORLD? [picks up prosciutto] IT'S LIKE YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW ME! [gets mozzarellla, now doing air guitar]

― G00blar, Monday, 5 March 2007 13:04 (nineteen years ago)

haha i LOVE doing that! at bus stops too.

― emsk, Monday, 5 March 2007 13:06 (nineteen years ago)

I always catch myself lip syncing (most often lip-shouting actually) because people look at me funny.

― G00blar, Monday, 5 March 2007 13:06 (nineteen years ago)

Ohmigod, I almost forgot until I made lunch (leftover curry - AUBERGINE PICKLE!!! Like lime pickle but made from aubergines. It is nummy hotttt goodness.

Ha ha, I once got caught out doing GOTH DANCES in the parking lot of the Woolworths where I worked to the Bauhaus on my headphones and have never done this again. Honest.

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 5 March 2007 13:29 (nineteen years ago)

Aww - if Norman comes down for the gig it will be tremendous!!

― Dr.C, Monday, 5 March 2007 13:32 (nineteen years ago)

OMG WILL DAVE HAFTA GO FOR A RUN JUST TO BURN OFF ALL THIS NERVOUS ENERGY????

HOW WILL I GET THROUGH THIS DAY?

(This is weird.)

― G00blar, Monday, 5 March 2007 13:33 (nineteen years ago)

What?

― Dr.C, Monday, 5 March 2007 13:34 (nineteen years ago)

Pre-gig jitters/excitement/notwantingtowork.

― G00blar, Monday, 5 March 2007 13:37 (nineteen years ago)

Trying to work on the day of a gig is ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE.

That said, I'm still flying on energy from Saturday. But at least I'm directing it in a good place.

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 5 March 2007 13:38 (nineteen years ago)

David K at troubadour is really nice and helpful. He's offered a pile of alternative pickup solutions, none of which seem to make him any money.

― Ed, Monday, 5 March 2007 13:40 (nineteen years ago)

I'm usually not this bad. I think it's mostly to do with our last gig being a total disaster (and thus me trying to block it out of my memory), so it feels like we haven't played in AGES.

― G00blar, Monday, 5 March 2007 13:40 (nineteen years ago)

Well, I was suffering from the same problem - not playing for MONTHS after a really really awful terrible gig. And ours went GRATE so I'm sure you will, too.

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 5 March 2007 13:41 (nineteen years ago)

undeniable proof that nasa faked the moon landings, this is the smoking gun, people.
