i think it's so funny that insound now carries the kill the dj comp. a few years back i recommended that they might start stocking tigersushi, as it seemed to be just the sort of "dance music" their indie buyers would lap up like warm milk -- and i got a really snide response from someone there that they just didn't have time to listen to all the "electronic music" out there. guess they found time.

I really want to go tonight and see the Fire Engines, but I am very poor. Convince me, Glasgow.

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 11 September 2005 12:16 (twenty years ago)

it will be your last chance ever to see them and i promise they will be as entertaining as it is possible to be in 23 minutes. if you are very skint, i can put you on a half price list.

Arse, I forgot about this tonight. I'm not sure I am up to it. If I am not there, try to have fun without me.

not that stirmonster is going to see this in time, but thanks for the offer - I'm not going to make it now. Report back, someone.

i shed a tear.

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Monday, 12 September 2005 04:40 (twenty years ago)

haha, this really was great even if, like me (!!!), you had never even heard The Fire Engines before! tight as fuck and so fresh sounding.

three months pass...

i would like to go to optimo too one day.

when optimo visited montreal unfortunately i had a work-related dj gig the same night :(

― s1ocki (slutsky), Sunday, 8 January 2006 21:52 (twenty years ago)

stir,

the optimo site explicitly says not to email you about this.. rather than bother Tigersushi, can I ask here?

Any insight on any remaining record shops still stocking Kill the DJ Part 2 on 3x12"? or was it a limited friends pressing and i should just give up?

many thx

― titty sanskrit (sanskrit), Thursday, 12 January 2006 01:30 (twenty years ago)

it was a pressing of one copy! they did one test pressing (which i have) but they messed it up and missed off the arthur russell track. i waited and waited for them to do another test pressing but that was the last i ever heard about it. sadly i am almost certain it will never see the light of day now. i keep meaning to change the info on the website. in fact, i'll go and do that now.

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Thursday, 12 January 2006 01:42 (twenty years ago)

One day I will make it up there for Optimo! I'm not saying it wasn't good when I saw you in Brighton, but I'd like the full expereience.

― Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Thursday, 12 January 2006 08:35 (twenty years ago)

God, I envy you people that live in the part of the world that gets Optimo with any regularity (translation: PLEASE TO BE PLAYING IN LOS ANGELES).

― James.Cobo (jamescobo), Thursday, 12 January 2006 10:00 (twenty years ago)

I have still only been once : (

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 12 January 2006 10:19 (twenty years ago)

I haven't been in ages

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 12 January 2006 10:22 (twenty years ago)

we should go then

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 12 January 2006 12:12 (twenty years ago)

if you don't go you lots will regret it when you are old.

― jed_ (jed), Thursday, 12 January 2006 12:14 (twenty years ago)

I don't know if I have the stamina : (

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 12 January 2006 12:20 (twenty years ago)

think of all the ILM people who wish they were in glasgow. if you're not going to do it for them at least do it to make them jealous.

― jed_ (jed), Thursday, 12 January 2006 12:22 (twenty years ago)

now you're talking !

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 12 January 2006 12:25 (twenty years ago)

I regret it while I'm young!

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 12 January 2006 13:24 (twenty years ago)

one of my resolutions this year is to go to optimo more often. i only went once last year.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Thursday, 12 January 2006 13:26 (twenty years ago)

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Thursday, 12 January 2006 13:29 (twenty years ago)

How come - is it going to promotions heaven?

― Why So?, Thursday, 12 January 2006 13:47 (twenty years ago)

indeed! end of an era in ... er, 97 weeks.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Thursday, 12 January 2006 13:49 (twenty years ago)

How come - is it going to promotions heaven?

we'll be ten years old then (if we last that long!). seems a good age to bow out on.

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Thursday, 12 January 2006 13:52 (twenty years ago)

coo ur gosh etc. but aye, always quit while you're ahead/leave them wanting more/etc.

i assume you've already booked a fat lady to sing at the very final night?

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Thursday, 12 January 2006 14:07 (twenty years ago)

it was a pressing of one copy!

thanks for the info, now i can stop looking. quite a rare edition then.. har har. i am quite enamored by the psyche out picture disc, it is a treat.

― titty sanskrit (sanskrit), Thursday, 12 January 2006 14:08 (twenty years ago)

yeah - the ones that beat up DDKoresh!*

― jed_ (jed), Thursday, 12 January 2006 14:09 (twenty years ago)

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Thursday, 12 January 2006 14:25 (twenty years ago)

Wow. I need to make it back to Optimo within 97 weeks! Anyone who hasn't been: get thee to Glasgow now.

And have a (gigantic) falafel at the shop around the corner for me.

― Jay Vee (Manon_70), Thursday, 12 January 2006 14:53 (twenty years ago)

well I probably won't make it to glasgow in the next 97 weeks but I'll definitely be at don hill's in nyc next month .... I went to the glass house gallery optimo in brooklyn last year and it was great.

― Renard (Renard), Thursday, 12 January 2006 17:55 (twenty years ago)

― fez, Saturday, 8 April 2006 12:46 (twenty years ago)

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Saturday, 8 April 2006 13:22 (twenty years ago)

I just got that 12"...but there's 2 songs on that side! What a fantastic record though.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Saturday, 8 April 2006 13:51 (twenty years ago)

i know but 'liftvoyzz' is all it say on the label so i guess they are both called that!
