Brighton

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:

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'

So thrash, WOW, so boom

anyone need a spare ticket for friday? was going to give it to someone but he's gone and had a babby instead

You're not coming? Nooooooooooooooooooooooo.

oh no, i'll be there! i just have an extra ticket is all

Oh, cool. I can post up on facebook for you if you like?

sure, go for it!

Posted. Let me know if you get rid of it so I don't disappoint anyone.

I've had some interest from our friend the Lou Barlow mewling man-baby, if you don't mind going with him. ^__^

He's not quite decided yet, though.

ha! *blushes*

did LBMMB get back to you on the ticket e? if not i will tweet the sheet out of it instead

Ah, yes, this got a bit more complicated, as another friend announced she had two spare tickets too. I think all three have been bagsied now, though, if that's okay.

yeah no that's cool!

think i'm going to go and spend the day wandering about in h☆stings but i'll probably find a pub in bexhill after that for beer and chips. follow me on twitter if you like and we can swap phone nos. - i'm @Mount_Analogue - otherwise i'll see you at the dlwp @ 7.45-ish?

Sounds good, followed. My phone is a heap of crumbling shit, though, I mostly operate as if I don't have one these days. But I'll see if I can get it working.

oh wow, you must be the one person i know that i won't have to hide my 1,000 yr old nokia from in embarrassment. even my kids laugh at it

My phone is a ten-year old Tesco phone. It has little pawprints on the screen when it turns on. It can hold about 40 text messages before its memory is full.

Oh dear.

alright alright, stop showing off!

^__^

Is this tomorrow? I’m going to get a train to Rye for ATP either half past noon or one if you’re on either of those?

hoping to get there a little earlier in the day, but will give you a buzz if i end up running a bit late. have a great time at atp though and DON'T MISS LOOP!

dunno if you saw this emily, bit of an early start innit?

Here are the times for Keith Harrison’s and Napalm Death’s Bustleholme tomorrow night.
 
Doors 7.00pm
Napalm Death ‘Bustleholme’ 8.00pm
Finish 9.10pm approx.

Ah shit, it starts dead on eight? I thought doors were eight. Will have to get an earlier train than I was planning.

You coming on Saturday, Nick?

would love to but we've got a long-standing dinner invite

Awww, shame.

ha, i know right?

What's the most inappropriate cover version I can play at this thing?

(The answer is probably that ilxor's Tindersticks-esque version of 'I Kill Everything I Fuck', tbh)

remind me what the concept is?
