THAT WAS LEX NOT GARETH

Tinsel antlers? In November?

Is there a good pub near Fabric we can all meet in? Not the Betsey Trotwood.

slaughtered lamb?

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 09:26 (seventeen years ago) link

that was really good last night, i thought. my legs hurt a bit now though, i'm clearly a little out of the habit.

That floor though - I was doing the "shake beerglued plastic shards from soles of shoes shuffle" for about half the time. Other than that though, top fun, the last half an hour or so before we left was particularly excellent.

i think i'd like tinsel antlers

16 year old gareth is staring at you through the mists of time and weeping.

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 09:54 (seventeen years ago) link

Drukgs really were better back then.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 10:11 (seventeen years ago) link

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 10:36 (seventeen years ago) link

depends what time you went to bed. i didnt exactly have a normal sleep pattern last night

went to bed: 630pm
woke up: 1030pm
went to bed: 415am
woke up: 630am

― -- (688), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 11:26 (seventeen years ago) link

oh ok - i got in around 5am i think and went to bed just after 6am. it is odd how after battling to keep my eyes open on the buses home...suddenly once inside i was far too awake to contemplate sleeping

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 11:31 (seventeen years ago) link

yea i probably was going to sleep again around 5ish.

i need to regularize my sleep

― -- (688), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 11:37 (seventeen years ago) link

This is fascinating! Whose turn is it to do the washing up this evening?

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 11:40 (seventeen years ago) link

washing up? i didnt know alex knew what that was;)

― -- (688), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 11:43 (seventeen years ago) link

shit, when did we get married?

― -- (688), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 11:43 (seventeen years ago) link

washing up is something lex listens to, not does

― 2 american 4 u (blueski), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 11:46 (seventeen years ago) link

i am going to do the washing up today! either before i go to the cinema or after. i haven't decided whether i want to see little children or saw iii yet

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 11:48 (seventeen years ago) link

this probably isnt the thread for it, but i think we may as well reveal that

a) lex thought i was playing Achey Breaky Heart. On repeat
b) achey breaky heart really sounds like flaming lips
c) i wasnt playing achey breaky heart.

― -- (688), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 11:51 (seventeen years ago) link

a) true
b) true
c) false

― 2 american 4 u (blueski), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 11:52 (seventeen years ago) link

Lex, The Page Turner is on at the Rio! I don't know if you'd like it, but it's got to be better than thse two.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 11:59 (seventeen years ago) link

i can never tell whose music is whose here! although i guessed 'uptown girl' was sam's.

it is not within my ability to trek to the rio today, i am limited by the holloway odeon :(

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 12:03 (seventeen years ago) link

Doh, sorry I forgot you lived there instead of here.

Haha there's always Step Up!

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 12:10 (seventeen years ago) link

ok the blokey in that is fit and it has the single of the year on the soundtrack but i feel that my time would be better served looking at pictures of him on the internet while actually listening to ciara

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 12:13 (seventeen years ago) link

could you not manage the camden odeon or islington vue? they're only a bus ride away.

how are supermayer so cute? it is surely not natural.

― ampersand, hearts, semicolon (cis), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 12:47 (seventeen years ago) link

Hello. Do we have a pre-Fabric pub sorted yet? Slaughtered Lamb is a bit far in the wrong direction for my liking and I know other people have a problem with it. Is there anywhere around Farringdon Station that's likely to be open and not shit?

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 10 November 2006 15:09 (seventeen years ago) link

On the offchance anyone coming is reading this, I'll be in the Duke of York on Clerkenwell Road from 9.30-10ish. I'll text people if there's any change of plan.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Saturday, 11 November 2006 19:43 (seventeen years ago) link

I shall wave out the window.

― Ed (dali), Saturday, 11 November 2006 20:14 (seventeen years ago) link

haha. WHAT AN AWESOME RAVE! DOG DOG DOG DOG DOG DOG DOG DOG DOG DOG

ellen was so so amazing as well.

what was that café which appeared across the road just as we needed it?! that place was exactly what i was craving. BEER AND TEA ALL MORNING.

― The Lex (The Lex), Monday, 13 November 2006 10:00 (seventeen years ago) link

I thought everyone that wasn't Ellen or Rex was a bit meh really, although there were some good minimal noises in Room One early on it all went very clunky later in the night.

Partly because Ellen was playing live and Rex (I think) only played his own records and remixes, there was a general feeling of being more like a fantastic gig than a club night in its own right. But awesome nonetheless.

Also, for some reason I just didn't expect to hear Heartbeats, it hadn't even occurred to me he might play it, so it was just this ridiculous joyful moment.

That was probably the most welcome cup of tea of my life. So, Carl Craig at The End in two weeks time, then?

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 13 November 2006 10:10 (seventeen years ago) link

carl craig for definite

I thought everyone that wasn't Ellen or Rex was a bit meh really. i actually thought kinda the opposite

i thought rex was absolutely terrible. i'd never heard him before, and i hope i never hear him again. it sounded like sonic the hedgehog

ellen allien was better, but i found her very one dimensional, quite static and square, would have liked something more snakey. id never heard her before either really,

the stuff much earlier on was the best, in the end. konrad black i guess,

sheperding lex back home was quite a feat, he kept staggering off in the wrong direction, refused to believe that kings cross wasnt clerkenwell, though my street was tottenham court road, and only noticed we had actually got home after we had been home for 10 minutes

i woke up at 4pm and said "the chestnuts. give them to me"

― -- (688), Monday, 13 November 2006 10:19 (seventeen years ago) link

in my mind everything post-fabric - the lurching around clerkenwell, the tea, the beer, the tea, the beer, the journey home which i don't remember at all and thus didn't really happen - was compressed into a short period of time just after dawn and before anyone else was out and about. the idea that much of it might have happened on sunday afternoon with lots of normal people and children watching gives me the fear.

the best moment was when anna-marie and i thought 'way out' was about to end, and we looked at each other and said "can this song never ever ever end and just go on forever" and ellen must have heard us because the beat kicked in again and it went on forever!

ellen prowling around the stage = hott.

'i look into mid-air' = best song ever. in what universe is sounding like sonic the hedgehog bad!

i just remembered the mashup of 2badmice - bombscare with the proclaimers 500 miles

vile

― -- (688), Monday, 13 November 2006 13:48 (seventeen years ago) link

i don't remember that at all. thankfully.

I remember you talking about that, where did you hear it? need to know where to avoid.

― ampersand, hearts, semicolon (cis), Monday, 13 November 2006 13:53 (seventeen years ago) link

I bet that was Rob Da Bank's fault.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 13 November 2006 14:03 (seventeen years ago) link

it was in room 3. room 3 should have been cordoned off by the police

I feel vindicated.

― Ed (dali), Monday, 13 November 2006 14:07 (seventeen years ago) link

that mashup is by the delectable Soundhog, but why it would be played NOW is baffling.

sounds like i would've enjoyed RTD.

― Euai Kapaui (tracerhand), Monday, 13 November 2006 14:17 (seventeen years ago) link

when? if it doesn't fall into post-operation window, YES

― The Lex (The Lex), Monday, 13 November 2006 14:19 (seventeen years ago) link

justus is 18 november; I can't make it, so so frustrating.

― ampersand, hearts, semicolon (cis), Monday, 13 November 2006 14:33 (seventeen years ago) link

that could well be doable.

― -- (688), Monday, 13 November 2006 14:35 (seventeen years ago) link

ah. michael mayer & ivan smagghe are at fabric on the 18th - i would def prefer kohncke as i've just seen mayer but there's a possibility that i might be interviewing, or helping robin interview, mayer...
