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.

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.

whats the last track on the optimo fergie mix?

fez, Saturday, 8 April 2006 12:46 (eighteen years ago) link

it's by the lift boys aka yamatsuka eye from the boredoms. the best i can decipher the title from the artwork is 'liftvoyzzz'

stirmonster (stirmonster), Saturday, 8 April 2006 13:22 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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

stirmonster (stirmonster), Saturday, 8 April 2006 13:58 (eighteen years ago) link

my copies of walkabout (mix CD and 12") are due to turn up today. am drumming my fingers on the desk in anticipation.

haitch, Sunday, 13 May 2007 23:46 (sixteen years ago) link

woah twitch even has psychedelic record storage!

tricky, Monday, 14 May 2007 03:41 (sixteen years ago) link

hoo boy what a mix! suicide sound even more menacing than usual coming out of all that buzzy noise from the godsy track.

haitch, Monday, 14 May 2007 06:06 (sixteen years ago) link

psychedelic record storage built by jed.

stirmonster, Monday, 14 May 2007 09:03 (sixteen years ago) link

I'm loving that Optimo mix too, particularly the "car sick" track, and the Boris one is fantastic too.

the space odyssey mix is an amazing hilarious delight.

s1ocki, Saturday, 10 May 2008 18:54 (fifteen years ago) link

glad you enjoyed it. the night we did based around "2001 : a space odyssey" was completely hilarious. they don't show up too clearly in this photo but we had a load of HALs custom made. also note monolith hanging from the roof. :-)

stirmonster, Saturday, 10 May 2008 19:21 (fifteen years ago) link

omg wish i coulda been there.

i love the way the space odyssey mix just keeps going... the first time i listened to it i kept thinking "ah what a perfect way for this to end" (like the close encounters music, thus sprach zarathustra etc)... but when telstar came on it warmed my heart.

s1ocki, Saturday, 10 May 2008 19:28 (fifteen years ago) link

Mix? Hrm?

Telephone thing, Saturday, 10 May 2008 20:15 (fifteen years ago) link

I have some pictures from the night too, will look them out... though they're a bit blurry

can't believe I didn't hear optimo was playing australia until a few days out; not enough time to organise a trans-tasman trip.

anyone heard the optimo mix of the lottergirls cover of "the day the world turned dayglo"?

etc, Sunday, 11 May 2008 21:58 (fifteen years ago) link

you can pretend you were at the last of their four gigs with three mp3s from this page (about four hours in total)

energy flash gordon, Monday, 12 May 2008 03:07 (fifteen years ago) link

oh god, the hangover

haitch, Monday, 12 May 2008 03:39 (fifteen years ago) link

hopefully we'll be coming back to australia in december. we were both completely and utterly smitten with the place - definitely our favourite dj trip of the last few years.

YAYYAYAYAYAY

energy flash gordon, Monday, 12 May 2008 04:34 (fifteen years ago) link

December = playing in the bush outside of Melbourne again?

energy flash gordon, Monday, 12 May 2008 04:51 (fifteen years ago) link

thanks for the link, & OH MY GOD YES! plz give enough warning for new zealanders to finally pick up & move to melbourne, etc.
