Would go to that. Incidentally, do you know S Club are now S Club 3?

My only evidence is that Marcello once referred to her as a "Tory twat".

Who hasn't Marcello referred to as a Tory twat? He probably says it to himself in the mirror in the mornings.

who actually is "tony roberts (as seen at NTAF 2016)"?

presumably not the actor who starred in several early woody allen movies

I love how people are so ready to write off Laura Marling because Marcell o called her a "twat"

This took me 5 seconds of googling

i saw this one in high school. it didn't go to midnight. they cut off the power in the middle of melanie's set, and she finished the song in tears, unamplified.

one time I did that crossing and it was so choppy that I was stood in this office somewhere in Leiden I think the next day and the whole floor felt like it was still going up and down

As a student I once crossed to Newcastle. We got into a brawl with some Newcastle lads who'd drank up before we took off. Fuckers broke my watch, and a friend of mine was too busy puking then entire trip to help us out. It's more or less exactly what I imagine this "cruise" to be.

they save that for the Beautiful Sou'wester cruise

This is amazing, from last years cruise. And indeed, the organ man, the organ.

if the novels of joseph conrad have taught me anything, bez is the one you can trust to come through in a typhoon

mark s, Tuesday, 6 February 2018 13:08 (six years ago) link

I could be wrong but I think a ticket on this thing is cheaper than a ferry ticket for the weekend, maybe I'll take some earplugs and go for a day out in Rotterdam

drugs don't kill people, poppers do (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 6 February 2018 13:13 (six years ago) link

You're not wrong, by the looks of it, 159,- is cheap.

Looking at that video, does it just.. stop at 4 in the afternoon? Didn't seem to be a single frame of night-time activity.

after 4pm is reserved for the keelhauling of the minor indie celebrities

thanks lads, good humorous start to my day

Is one able to sneak drugs onto these 'music cruises' or is security tight enough that you're stuck buying 11 dollar coors light

global tetrahedron, Wednesday, 7 February 2018 17:23 (six years ago) link

not even sure you can smoke inside on the ferry nowadays and it would be physically impossible to do it on deck in March

I have a friend who just got back from this cruise: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_Boat#The_Rock_Boat_XVIII

he's been in previous years. it sounds like a hell to me. no idea about the drug sneaking but I know they regularly try to sneak on liquor because I get a story about how many bottles the luggage checkers found versus how many they missed

mh, Wednesday, 7 February 2018 19:09 (six years ago) link

that is the original rock cruise, the one that spawned all the others. former coworkers of mine have been attending since it began

maura, Wednesday, 7 February 2018 20:34 (six years ago) link

I mean, on the rare occasion he's come back talking about a band I haven't heard of that was in the lineup that later breaks out

but more often there's an anecdote about some one-hit artist from the 90s who performed and then got drunk with everyone

mh, Wednesday, 7 February 2018 20:37 (six years ago) link

a music fest w/that lineup and calling it "Victorious"....if they can make like Dunkirk and evacuate the concertgoers from that beach maybe.

omar little, Wednesday, 7 February 2018 20:38 (six years ago) link

I played at Shiiine a few months ago. Actually had an OK time, despite none of the three or so bands I actually liked playing that day.

As we were unloading I heard a band covering MGMT's 'Kids' in the distance, which I assumed was some covers band playing in one of the pub venues, but when they followed it up with Starsailor's 'Four To The Floor' I realised it was the sound of Starsailor themselves at work, adding something a little 'contemporary' to their set

I also got to watch Embrace alternate their hits with new material which contains millennial whoops and latter-day Take That-esque choruses in a no way desperate attempt to get on Radio 2. During this I noticed Lammo standing nearby.

Like I said, it was fun
