Optimo

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

You should have some kind of moonshine party.

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

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.

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. ?

i almost lost my shit

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

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

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

What a horrible thing to play.

just a bit of fun!

my niceness has the excuse of being drunk.

sweet regret, court me now.

haha

i didnt mean any of that stuff

nu-huh me either.

just a bit of fun!

except the bit about adam's babies, that's true.

ah my head will explode with such nice things you've both said! next month should be cool, I'll book this week hopefully.

this morning it felt like a hundred hungry dogs were barking in my head.

Last night in London = awesomeness. Much fun was had and my friends loved it. Can anyone shed any light on that guitar instrumental version of The Model, though? I *need* that record.

I wasn't there but it could well be the DJ Hell remix of Snakefinger's 1980 cover version. (Snakefinger = guitar player for the Residents)

http://www.urbanized-records.com/e/search/vinyl_detail.cgi?vinyl_id=1729

it wasn't snakefinger. i meant to ask the wonderful rory what it was. i shall ask him and report back.

Twitch, you impressed me (same goes for Johnny, obv). I had a great time.

Hey Twitch -

I met you in BKLYN. I play in Kid's band. Did he ever give you a copy of our stuff?

glad you enjoyed it barima.

jay vee - he didn't give me any of yr stuff but then i only saw him really briefly. i meant to hang out with him more but i was really ill while i was there. i really, really, really want to get you guys to play the club. kid knows that you have an open invitation to play. i don't need to hear it, i know i'm going to love it. tell kid i said hi and that next time we'll hook up properly.

right on.

anyone have a tracklisting of what mayer played at the BRW?

I think I heard these:

ada, "maps" (some drawn out remix?)
ada, "eve"
closer musik, "1 2 3 no gravity (ewan pearson mix)"
frei / köhncke, "hot love (dj koze rmx.)"

... and then blank.

Superpitcher - 'Happiness (M.Mayer remix)'
Baxendale (!) - 'I Built this City' I think

("Cashpoint Re-edit" of latter, possibly)

also, has anyone heard the new eskimo thing yet? is it a mix or a comp? the tracklisting looks pretty great.

it's a mix

mmmmmmmmmmm.

i think it's better than kil the dj.

the other baxendale?

There is no other. I was thinking of Hefner.

perhaps mayer has read this.

any ideas ronan? RJG? hmmm?

I only have one.

sock it to me.

"One more choon! One more choon! One more choon! One more choon!"

What a fine thing to christen my new CD player with.

Mr Optimo, you should consider coming to the West Coast with your concern, and when I say the West Coast I mean "San Francisco".

Also saw that thing about my babies above. Interesting!
