I'm trying the extreme music from Finland next Friday myself.

― DV (dirtyvicar), Sunday, 17 April 2005 12:20 (twenty-one years ago)

I would like to go to that. But then I would also like to go to the other thing, RJG has told me.

I do sing a chorus too, on that song. It's not completely inconsequential. I can't do difficult things.

― Ally C (Ally C), Sunday, 17 April 2005 16:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes you can, you can spell inconsequential, which is more than I can manage, apparently.

I met Cozen at Dolly Mixture. He was rather freaked out!
That was a cool night. Three cheers for Sharon and her team and Dot To Dot!

― Stew (stew s), Sunday, 17 April 2005 21:30 (twenty-one years ago)

I didn't meet Lauren at Dolly Mixture, but I stood next to her for a bit without knowing who she was, and RJG said "Have you met Lauren" but she left. Oh well.

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 17 April 2005 21:37 (twenty-one years ago)

it was nice to meet you, stew.

I was a little freaked out, but good freaked.

it was nice to meet you, too, lauren.

hi nick!

― cozen (Cozen), Monday, 18 April 2005 09:28 (twenty-one years ago)

thank you for the book. it made the ride home that much more pleasant.

at this point, i fear that i'll never meet jed.

― lauren (laurenp), Monday, 18 April 2005 09:58 (twenty-one years ago)

It is remarkable and good that Dot to Dot get so much better as time goes by without ever actually hearing them. I feel sorry for thsoe of you who have heard them and cannot share in my joy and amazement at their improvement.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Monday, 18 April 2005 10:44 (twenty-one years ago)

I have got an mp3, of Dot to Dot!

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Monday, 18 April 2005 12:55 (twenty-one years ago)

Go on, tell them all you described it as

"superior jingle-jangle with a manic edge."

Some cookie96 fans would probably prefer their edges more Manc than Manics.

― Mooro (Mooro), Monday, 18 April 2005 13:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes, I thought it was going to be post-punk angular funk, like The Pop Group or something. But it now transpires that it is in fact superior jingle-jangle with a manic edge. Identifiably Glaswegian, I thought, kind of like The Sound of Young Scotland with senile dementia. I'm not surprised Murdoch likes it, the self-perpertuating ponce. Is Cookie96(tears) singing? I thought the chorus was very good. Well done, Dot to Dot. I think you should get a SUPPORT SLOT.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Monday, 18 April 2005 14:08 (twenty-one years ago)

On Friday, we supported ourselves. Quite successfully. We will almost certainly come to London this summer. Begin the preparations.

― Ally C (Ally C), Monday, 18 April 2005 16:16 (twenty-one years ago)

sorry i missed you lauren. my excuse is boring as well as rubbish so i'll spare you it.

― jed_ (jed), Monday, 18 April 2005 16:21 (twenty-one years ago)

Come to Maidenhead! Captive audience at Smokey Joe's!

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 11:02 (twenty-one years ago)

Am I right that Maaaaster Haaaapkins is coming to Glasgow on Friday?

― KeefW (kmw), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 17:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Haaapkins begins the Devonian crusade in two moons time I believe.

I would like an MP3 of dot to dot, I think it would be a hoot

― Porkpie (porkpie), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 18:04 (twenty-one years ago)

He gets in Friday lunchtime I think, and I can't leave work until four so if anyone without a job wants to entertain him for a bit please feel free.

― Madchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 18:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Cool. I won't be drinking cider, but I will visit; although I do have a job so it'll be later. Maybe a cider-drinking crusty could entertain him by juggling, in the meantime. Can we assume 'plans' will be posted here?

― KeefW (kmw), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 18:09 (twenty-one years ago)

I would like to take Tim to the Steps on Glassford Street. Probably just for one, because I think it's a Tennents pub, but I think he'll appreciate the decor.

― Madchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 18:29 (twenty-one years ago)

One Step closer to Belhaven.

I know. I know.

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 20:32 (twenty-one years ago)

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 07:39 (twenty-one years ago)

wow. it's freezing here so any heat would be an improvement.

I get over on Friday morning at about 9, such are the times of cheap flights.

Is Tim going to come to the Arches?

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 08:19 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't know. There is football in Carlisle the next day, so bedtimes may have to be taken into account if he's feeling old and codgerish. Shall I text him?

― Madchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 09:11 (twenty-one years ago)

what are you doing during the day on friday, ro?

I get home thursday night.

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 10:20 (twenty-one years ago)

my back hurts.

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 10:24 (twenty-one years ago)

football update:

Exeter can still reach the playoffs IF:

1. they beat Carlisle
2. any two of Morecombe, Aldershot and Stevenage don't win and/or also that Woking don't win by more than 4 goals than we do...

Exeter have the hardest game of the five teams fighting for the last two play-off slots...

i don't think i'm speaking out of turn to say that Mr H will definitely be attending said match...

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 10:28 (twenty-one years ago)

I can't support Exeter, but I will keep my mouth shut :)

― Madchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 11:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Will Rozen/Conan be in the pub on Friday afternoon? That would be an incentive to leave work early, perhaps.

― Ally C (Ally C), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 11:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Ronan. where are you staying?

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 12:02 (twenty-one years ago)

turns out I have an interview at 9.30 on friday, in aberdeen.

I should be in glasgow before, hopefully, 3pm.

afternoon pub is plausible. bagsy being conan.

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 13:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Mayer tickets are only £10 in advance (if paid with cash) from the Arches. I might go and get some after work. Who wants me to get one for them?

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 13:33 (twenty-one years ago)

me, please.

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 13:35 (twenty-one years ago)

I am staying in my sister's, it's here

http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=254943&y=667551&z=1&sv=woodcroft+avenue&st=6&tl=Woodcroft+Avenue,+Glasgow,+G_11&searchp=newsearch.srf&mapp=newmap.srf

where is here? pretty central I guess.

I think pub on Friday afternoon would be good, though maybe not all day until the Arches.

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 13:56 (twenty-one years ago)

Here is West End, not too far from town.

Nick, I suppose you should get me a ticket too. Is anyone going out to watch the footie tonight? I might.

― Ally C (Ally C), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 14:09 (twenty-one years ago)

Ronan, I work in the big yellow gap to the left of Chamberlain Road in the top left square! I would invite you to join me on the number 44 into town, but I suspect you'll have been in the pub for a couple of hours by then.

― Madchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 14:20 (twenty-one years ago)

I may be back home again, I don't know it's hard to plan!

Is it a bus journey away then? Or taxi? I really can't wait for this little trip, I haven't been away for a weekend in 9 months or so.

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 14:29 (twenty-one years ago)

sorry I mean, I may be back at my sister's, after a few hours, on my way back in!

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 14:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Nick, I suppose you should get me a ticket too.

Such enthusiasm in one so old!

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 14:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Pl keep other out-of-towners posted abt the pub venue on Friday - I'm off to see the hairy Finnish hippies in the evening, but it wld be nice to have a drink w/ the ILX diaspora in the afternoon - cheers

I trust everyone who has posted on this thread is going to see Double Leopards and Wolf Eyes on Saturday

― Andrew L w/ a fucked password, Wednesday, 20 April 2005 14:32 (twenty-one years ago)

it is a bit away from the underground line. there are buses, yes, or trains, even. it is a bit away from the centre centre--it'd be a fair old walk. not too far from the west end, proper, though.

I hope I feel better, by the weekend.

get me a ticket, please, nick.

The 44 will take you into town in about 20 minutes - you could get it on Crow Road or Clarence Drive. Cheaper than a taxi at one pound! And it's quite a nice ride, past the other university and a dinosaur.

Anyway, haven't heard from Tim yet. He is obviously a diligent worker.

― Madchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 14:49 (twenty-one years ago)

I should add that if anyone wants my mobile number who hasn't got it, email me at lucyalder c/o google's email service.

optimo

Sunday April 24th - Jeans Team

We have a late addition for this Sunday and are delighted to welcome the return of electronic pop maestros JEANS TEAM from Berlin. They last appeared at Optimo back in the day when Optimo was temporarily residing at Mas and were most, most excellent. You can see some crazy clips of them playing live and the video to their current single 'Oh Bauer' on the downloads page of their site. Great, great fun and only a quid extra!

i'm going to see wolf eyes/tony conrad on saturday i think.

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 14:52 (twenty-one years ago)

I had a dream about Tony Conrad.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 15:16 (twenty-one years ago)

it would quite difficult and pointless to overrate lara's [bum].

Oi!

― Lara (Lara), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 16:27 (twenty-one years ago)

I cannot skive off work early, but we are having booze at work so will be suitably lubricated and can be in Glasgow by about half five. Can someone text me and tell me what pub you are in, or I will have to spend some of my last-week-before-payday money on top-up credit rather than booze.

I'm going out to watch the football tonight, Ally, but not in Glasgow. You can come to Paisley and watch it with me if you like!

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 16:32 (twenty-one years ago)

get well, soon, rich.

wolf eyes and optimo is so enticing.

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 16:54 (twenty-one years ago)

thanks, cozen, and sorry, lara.

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 17:04 (twenty-one years ago)

OK, have heard from Tim, who is planning to be (dum dum daaaaa) off the wagon this weekend. I also don't have to be at work until 10 o'clock on Monday, so might be amenable to more ruin than usual on Sunday night :-/

― Madchen (Madchen), Thursday, 21 April 2005 08:05 (twenty-one years ago)

Hello! I am looking forward to trying Glasgow's patience more in around 24 hours.

It is my intention to see a bit of art on Friday afternoon, but that's thirsty work and so I'm betting I'll be ready to darken the doors of some alehouse or other before work kicking-out time.
