― DJ Martian (djmartian), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 15:03 (twenty-one years ago)

optimo = trash without the fit indie sluts.

― erol, Wednesday, 12 January 2005 15:52 (twenty-one years ago)

better music though obiously.

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 16:00 (twenty-one years ago)

I believe Twitch was passed a note last week that said:

"COngratulations. The best club in Glasgow has now turned into Shack"

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 16:02 (twenty-one years ago)

o good, does this mean i can claim i didn't enjoy optimo at new year because "it's gone shit", rather than the real reason (ie i'm too fucking old and sad these days)?

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 16:07 (twenty-one years ago)

totally dud - posting on threads about yrself, but wtf.

i think the press we're getting 'cos of the mix cd will actually really fuck the club up for the worse. it happened before with a club i did called 'pure' and within 6 months of being in various magazines the club was full of idiots. oh well. i suppose we can always get whitehouse in to be the resident band for a few months.

and who needs fit indie sluts when you can have fit gay jeds?

― stirmonster, Wednesday, 12 January 2005 16:15 (twenty-one years ago)

i've been doin my best to bring optimo to everyone's attention, it's long due recognition

optimo = trash without the crap deejays (jus kiddin, e)

― nick.K (nick.K), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 16:18 (twenty-one years ago)

x-post: ah, pure. wish i'd gone.

every week, my big norwegian mate kristian would go. every week, he would dance like a six-foot-four, shaven-headed, bug-eyed loon for several hours. every week, at four o'clock in the morning, he would bang on my door (i'd just be back from the mission or somewhere, heheheh) and yell how it had been the best night of his life.

happy days.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Thursday, 13 January 2005 16:12 (twenty-one years ago)

one month passes...

It feels weird posting with nick.K just above me.

I see Michael Mayer and Justus Koehncke are now confirmed for the special at the Arches on the 22nd April.

― Alba (Alba), Monday, 21 February 2005 22:17 (twenty-one years ago)

oh wow, i feel so silly, all this time i had *no* idea stirmonster was jd twitch. that's wicked. i am interviewing one of them tomorrow night, i wonder if its him?

― mark p (Mark P), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 00:10 (twenty-one years ago)

I wonder what will happen, on the 22nd.

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 00:29 (twenty-one years ago)

hey mark, you're interviewing one of us? i hadn't heard about that. and yup, i've always used the name stirmonster on the internet but i guess there's no way to necessarily make the connection.

I wonder what will happen, on the 22nd.

hopefully a good time will be had.

― stirmonster, Tuesday, 22 February 2005 00:44 (twenty-one years ago)

I hope justus dances.

― cozen (Cozen), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 11:01 (twenty-one years ago)

I might go along, on the 22nd.

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 11:02 (twenty-one years ago)

glasgow in april is really shaping up.

― cozen (Cozen), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 11:09 (twenty-one years ago)

it needs a man.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 11:32 (twenty-one years ago)

I might go along, on the 22nd also. But I'm not sure I count as a man.

Stirmonster, the club Pure had some connection to the band The Honeymooners, didn't it? Or am I getting muddled?

― Tim (Tim), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 13:52 (twenty-one years ago)

any news on the vinyl of Kill the DJ?

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 14:05 (twenty-one years ago)

(sorry if people are asking alot!)

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 14:06 (twenty-one years ago)

tim - it must have been a different pure.

ronan - still no word on the vinyl. the delay is doing my head in.

― stirmonster, Tuesday, 22 February 2005 16:27 (twenty-one years ago)

I only found out recently (such is the way the power structures work) that you guys are provisionally booked to play our club, so maybe I'll get to play a few records with you yet! (again depending on the weirdo power games that go on with our night)

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 19:38 (twenty-one years ago)

that certainly is a weird power structure if you didn't know! next time tayo emails i should request that you play with us.

― stirmonster, Tuesday, 22 February 2005 19:44 (twenty-one years ago)

I'll explain all sometime! It's great considering I'm only DJing a short time, a good position to be in as a resident at a successful and busy club. But I'm starting to try and get involved in more of my own thing aswell with the guys from the shop, which is exciting too at the moment.

I was at the meeting where we discussed who to book, just not actually in the office or there when the bookings are made!

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 19:49 (twenty-one years ago)

stirry, for what's it's worth, the Kill The DJ 2CD thing was very good -- even if i dont know how i feel about owning something with depeche mode on it. congrats on a job well done.

― jack cole (jackcole), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 19:53 (twenty-one years ago)

Coming to accept Depeche Mode as part of music's rich tapestry is one things Optimo has brought to my life.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 19:58 (twenty-one years ago)

thanks jack. for the record, i used to have a massive problem with depeche mode until an ex girlfriend gave me 'black celebration' and i saw the light.

― stirmonster, Tuesday, 22 February 2005 20:02 (twenty-one years ago)

i just can't get enough.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 20:02 (twenty-one years ago)

twitch, jdh, and daveP - march 5th at the tribeca grand. i can't wait. its my birthday that nite, so im bringing like 30 people.

― phil-two (phil-two), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 20:29 (twenty-one years ago)

phil - you should email me. we have a policy that if it's anyone's birthday they shouldn't have to pay into the club. i don't see why this shouldn't apply in nyc so i'll happily put you on the guest list.

― stirmonster, Tuesday, 22 February 2005 20:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Ooh - I never knew this rule. That makes this May Day's Optimo potentially even sweeter. Though the prospect of it being completely rammed because of the bank holiday makes it less so.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 20:38 (twenty-one years ago)

tribeca grand parties are almost always free, you just need to get on the guest list the week of the party. i imagine the emails will go out early next week.

― rm265, Tuesday, 22 February 2005 20:41 (twenty-one years ago)

i'll be working so i'll miss tribeca grand. but todd p's space is awesome. plus no velvet rope/douchebag bouncers/$8 beers.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 20:42 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah. tribeca grand parties are always free, which somewhat offsets the $10 drinks. thanks though! i'll come say hello. i think jdh or maybe it was someone else mentioned having an afterparty at this nearby loft. is teamy going to be in town too?

― phil-two (phil-two), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 20:50 (twenty-one years ago)

Lucky you N, my birthday this year falls on Good Friday, the only day in the entire year on which all pubs, clubs, and off licenses in Ireland are closed. disgusting. No clubnight the night before either as a result

you should see an Irish off licence with a half an hour till closing time on the Thursday, it's like a scene from a shopping centre in an armageddon movie.

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 20:57 (twenty-one years ago)

You should have some kind of moonshine party.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 22:01 (twenty-one years ago)

WORLD PREMIERE: The Ramosi Barf Movie + Other Shit

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 22:06 (twenty-one years ago)

two weeks pass...

There is a picture of stirmonster spodding it up with his computer in the Online supplement of today's Guardian.

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 10 March 2005 14:11 (twenty-one years ago)

The Optimo party in BKLYN the other night was a blast. Great to finally meet Tracer and see Phil + Geeta. Didn't realize one of the Optimo cats is an ILM'er! Met one of them - nice guy.

― Jay Vee (Manon_70), Thursday, 10 March 2005 16:05 (twenty-one years ago)

did anyone at the bklyn show notice when they played about 10 seconds of that like romanian/hungarian/slovakian/whatever song that that pudgy guy videotaped himself lip-synching and dancing to that become one of those little internet clips that gets forwarded around everywhere? the song that goes hyaaa-heeee hyaaa-huuuuu hyyyaaa-heeeeee hyaaaa-huuuuu. ?

― phil-two (phil-two), Thursday, 17 March 2005 03:19 (twenty-one years ago)

i almost lost my shit

― phil-two (phil-two), Thursday, 17 March 2005 03:19 (twenty-one years ago)

also, does anyone know the name of that song and has mp3 of it?

― phil-two (phil-two), Thursday, 17 March 2005 03:23 (twenty-one years ago)

it's o'zone - "dragostae din tei", phil

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 17 March 2005 09:03 (twenty-one years ago)

PHIL IT IS MAYAHEE. HANG OUT ON ONE NOIZE BORED ALREADY.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 17 March 2005 09:21 (twenty-one years ago)

What a horrible thing to play.

― Sasquatch, Thursday, 17 March 2005 12:51 (twenty-one years ago)
