Brighton

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?

Covers! All of them!

Okay, and some Christmas shit too but it's a bit early to go overboard with that this year.

Trying to think up some festive Napalm Death ideas for you but you might need some more material to go with Yule Suffer

You'd barely have time to jingle yr bells

oh i just remembered that i was recommending this to craig at coos:

godammit why is this not on youtube

Oh wait, you're playing records? I thought you were perfoming things, duh. Sorry, fully grasping the wrong end of the stick there. Anyhow...

http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/citydesk/files/2007/02/0223siren.gif Does anyone want my ticket for LOOP & KVB tonight at the Concorde? For free? http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/citydesk/files/2007/02/0223siren.gif

Gutted to be missing it but I've got the lurgy and I'm too poorly to move...

I would if I wasn't massively unwell (and poor and stressed) too.

I'm both playing records and performing things, btw. The band already worked out the most inappropriate covers set to play onstage (though we realised the Lostprophets cover idea would fall flat as almost nobody would recognise the songs).

Aw, you too still? My brain is so gunked up, feels like eyes are going to get pushed out my skull by this huge expanding ball of snot in the centre of my head.

Message circulating at work:

Please note the bottom Dyke Road is currently closed due to a suspicious device. Bomb disposal experts are attending.

Yeah, a friend just posted on facebook about that. Weird. I could go have a look?

tempting but um

probably just someone's shopping anyway

Honestly I'm not sure if I can leave my house anyway. Developed a killer headache after drinking wine and listening to covers for hours last night, got barely any sleep and still feel horrible now. Think cold/stress/coffee/booze combo was not good for me.

i feel yr pain! didn't sleep much either - if i lie down for an extended period all the snot in my body just flows to my head. such yucky!

"bomb" turned out to be some twat's art project <- only in brighton

Uh, wut? As in, intentionally causing a bomb scare as an art project, or art project mistaken for bomb accidentally? Will heavily sway how much of a twat I think this person is...

i *think* (and hope) it's the latter but who knows?

Is there anywhere particularly good to get a relaxed lunch with veg options around the Lanes / Queen's Road? Pubs would be fine. I would be very grateful for any suggestions.

i don't eat out often enough to be of much use but you'd be hard-pressed to find many places in brighton without a veggie option tbh.

I am no good at food recommendations, really. Would you be willing to go into North Laine as well as the Lanes?

There's a pub called the Prince George at the bottom of Trafalgar Street that specialises in vegetarian pub grub that people seem to like - I'm not mad keen on it as a pub (there are better old-style pubs in this town) but it's perfectly fine in most respects.

The Basketmakers is a lovely pub with good food but I don't know about vegetarian options - most places do veggie now, though, so I'd be incredibly surprised if there wasn't anything. This is also North Laine, on Gloucester Road.

The Victory is a nice pub actually in the Lanes, on Duke Street - food has usually been good there, and as above I'm pretty certain they do vegetarian options.

I've been interested in checking out this tiny African restaurant/café/bar place on Queens Road called the Blue Man but it is an unknown quantity, might be worth it, might be terrible.

But honestly, I'm bad at this food game, you're probably just as well wandering around and seeing what you find as listening to me.

basketmakers definitely do veggie burgers and veggie roast but i don't know what their lighter lunch options are like. elsewhere in the north laine, the dorset was alright foodwise the last time i went (which was ages ago tbh) but it does have lots of space, iydea is completely veggie but it's kinda small, infinity cafe is all veggie too but kinda expensive, komedia is okay for snacky stuff and beer...

terre a terre and indian summer are still great places to eat veggie food nearer to the seafront, but they're both proper restaurants with pricing to match.

Iydea on Kensington gardens is a good bet, but can be pretty busy at lunch times, but there are a million veggie places in the North Laine. On Queens Road at Brighthelm Gardens there will also be the street Food market tomorrow lunchtime.

Thank you all so much. Those are really great suggestions. I only have to be in The Lanes for about fifteen minutes in the afternoon so can definitely look further afield. I'll have lots to choose from now.

I'll be there tomorrow so the street food market could be a good option too.
