Brighton

Well who knows if they'll be any good after this many years but (1) Robert Hampson doesn't seem to have mellowed much over the years, this is a good sign, and (2) their songs seem like they would be pretty hard to fuck up - if it's sufficiently loud and sufficiently dark, it will be fantastic.

Anyone else doing Colour Out Of Space this year? Excited that Richard Youngs will be featuring.

Hoping to go to some of it at least. Still never seen RY, could be wrong but I can't remember him ever playing in Brighton before. Cheap tickets available till Monday right?

Yep - have booked me and Emily in. A small paypal charge but still bargainous.

Not sure it'd work out of context on excelsior, but I just wanted to say that I totally lost my shit at this, Nick:

:D

Are you guys Telescoping tomorrow? Will probably go and see Mainliner instead which should be a beautiful way of going deaf and/or having some sort of noise-induced seizure, but boo-hiss @ gig clashes else I would've gone too.

No, I'm playing at the West Hill! Supporting the Lovely Eggs. Seriously sucky day for gig clashes, though, I agree.

If you fancy drinks after then West Hill Hall gigs always end up being West Hill Pub aftershows...

Might pop in and say hi then but good luck with the gig anyhow!

Up in that London on my way to a party with no idea what the weekend will bring, may see you tomorrow though.

maybe (definitely) a crazy idea, but how possible is it to go to COOS and get back to London in the evenings?

Theoretically possible but not great? Last trains are around half eleven, I think. *Might* be sofa/floor space at ours if you want to risk ilx0rs who you've met once not being axe murderers. I have actually killed both NickB and Chewshabadoo and now operate their accounts, so they'll vouch for me. Though I guess if you need to get back for work in the day then that's a different matter.

hey, there's only one poster here who's name i always read as 'murder you'. probably have back-up sofa space here if there's no room at emily's as long as you're not averse to dogs, kids and general chaos

the scene at the bottom looks about right tbh

i mean, i do love my wife, but she's the only person i know who's managed to set fire to an egg she was trying to boil

!!!

You're married to the Lex?

Haaaaaaaa.

ha not quite! that was just a random example btw, in no way is she the sole author of havoc in this dwelling

ah cool thanks for the offers, will definitely be in touch if i take the plunge on a ticket. free sofa space would definitely be worth an axe in the back or two.

Rest assured all axes in Brighton are made from sustainable forests.

Anyone who gives a shit will probably know this already but venerable old folk of avant-noise and NWW listees Smegma are playing at the Cowley tomorrow night.

Hmmmm, may be off to a L.I.E.S. night in London, but if I’m around I will get in touch.

Hi guys, been off for a couple of weeks, also failing to attend lots of things that I meant to go to... is Merdey still in need of a place for COOS?

bumping this thread for Colon Out Of Place

anyone go to the Bohmans last night?

also ~Goblin~ are playing in Feb, brrrrrr

There was a Riots Not Diets last night so no Bohmans. Went to the Kuchar shorts gig, though, twas good, even if the screen fell down and they had to project awkwardly over the wall and some high cupboards. Oops.

Really want to go to Goblin but not sure if I can afford to buy tickets straight away. Hopefully won't sell out too quickly.

i can't make it to COOS (no holiday left) :-(

aw no way!

finally getting to see richard youngs tomorrow! not sure what else is good on friday but i saw rat bastard with the laundryroom squelchers like a zillion years ago and he was great.

I too rioted not dieted. Probably going to 10Below for a Chicago/Detroit classics night on Friday with Donga DJing.

Goblin most definitely in the Dariory.

Oh, and off Saturday morning for my Dad's 70th so coop was off the agenda.

profondo rofls @ dariory, good work matt

how did yr london gig go?

Cheers!

Night was loads of fun! Doing another one on December 14th.

I am flipping exhausted. COOS was ace for the most part, but I'm glad it's done. Think my highlights were Hiroshi Hasegawa & Reiko.A, Poloumi Desai, Roman Nose, CM von Hausswolff & Michael Esposito, Woven Skull and Andy Guhl, though there was loads of other stuff worth a mention, honestly. Also really nice to hang with you over the weekend, Nick.

Not sure if I'm going to make it to Holter, apparently we didn't get tickets already and I was out tonight for a 6-hour band practice, sooooo... I know I'll regret it if I miss her, though.

Yeah great event, thanks for putting up w/ me! Very tired too, my batteries were really starting to run down on Sunday. My dirty, shameful secret is that I kept having to go and sit down in a quiet corner and listen to rock music underneath my hood. Think my favourite things were Jooklo Duo, Youngs/Fowler/Campbell, Occult Hand, Andie Brown & Sharon Gal, and yes Hasegawa & (especially) Reiko Azuma, but my favourite set was DDAA who I had totally never heard of but they seem to have been going forever, check this out:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEg0TsttbaA

Oh Bridget Hayden was great too, but that was definitely some sort of aural comfort food for me!

That DDAA video just there is like a french This Heat or something, dunno why I didn't know those folks before

Ah, yeah, they were the ones we missed the majority of. Bums. I will check out their vids/records.

Feel like I missed a cracker. Going to Plurals at Cowley on Friday probably if anyone fancies,

I would be up or doing that, but I have the kids all weekend long as payback for me being a dirty stop-out. Couple of other cool things I'll be missing: La Atlanta with a live soundtrack by Esben & the Witch at the Duke of Yorks late late on Friday, Jodorowsky's Dune documentary at the Komedia on Saturday. Oh well...

Julia Holter was good tonight. Four piece band of cello, violin, drums and sax plus her on keyboards. None of the overt weirdness of the first album on display, just all songy ones played in a way that made me think a little of Owen P... The band were all very talented and JH was ever so charming, so it was all very pleasant and she does jave some great songs too but for some reason I didn't really connect with it. Omg COOS has ruined normal music for me! Or maybe it was just tiredness. First time I've seen proper music at the Komedia (ie not cabaret garbage) and it didn't really help the vibe much to be sat round tables with people going in and out for nibbles and shit while I was trying to watch the band. So yeah, nice but not amaaaaazing.

Oh shit my mind is crumbling, I meant 'La Antena':

emil.y did you ever get sent physical tickets for nae plum duff? got a terrible feeling that i have managed to inadvertently bin mine

Pretty sure we didn't, will check with C, though.

ah ok. have emailed dlwp to check

Hi Nick, thanks for your email

Tickets were posted out today so you should receive them very soon.

“You reminded us to post out tickets, and we will now do that in the next few days”.

haha yeah, that is precisely the same bullshit i would say if that were me mildly fucking up

I'm going bowling in Crawley on Thursday, then seeing Napalm Death destroy a sound system in Bexhill on the Friday. Living the varied utopian dream large in that Sussex every damn day.

And then we're having people over to watch traumatic nuclear apocalypse films on Saturday. Can't forget that.

I'm sure there was a Napalm Death album called 'From Bowlplex To Obliteration'
