the old blue last is horrible. i don't think it's worth going there for...anything, not even prins thomas.

The Lex (The Lex), Thursday, 13 April 2006 12:11 (eighteen years ago) link

have i been there? it does sound like some kind of smokey pub, perhaps we could play dominoes there? on a different day

lots of good music over this weekend, but... where are the voibes, the cuet girls, our people, the hat tippers and you?

old blue last = vice pub

where are the voibes, the cuet girls, our people, the hat tippers and you?

GGGGGG

i dont have any tickets for m_nus, was just going to turn up.
sent you a text about tonight if you fancy going out tonight. mulletover with jeff samuel and matt john

ambrose (ambrose), Thursday, 13 April 2006 12:29 (eighteen years ago) link

oh yes, i just saw the txt. not sure about tonite, i hadnt factored in tonite yet.

i dont know what lex is talking about with this roxy business, or what the obvious reasons that he wont be there are

worryingly, i feel a bit like the 909fox

048 (gareth), Thursday, 13 April 2006 12:49 (eighteen years ago) link

dont worry i am clueless too, just a hick from the sticks coming dow nto the big smoke seeking fame and fortune minimal techno

ambrose (ambrose), Thursday, 13 April 2006 12:56 (eighteen years ago) link

There's nothing wrong with the Old Blue Last in my opinion. Just about every pub/bar in the ditch is pretty random, but this one has better music. Its got a good vibe going when the music is doing its thing.

M_nus @ Lost will be squishy I think.

rchinn (rchinn), Thursday, 13 April 2006 12:58 (eighteen years ago) link

I don't really mind what happens this weekend, but keep me in the loop. I am quite happy to do this ludicrous Monday Stink thing though.

Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 13 April 2006 12:58 (eighteen years ago) link

you have been the sinefox for quite some time now G-Daerest

Konal Doddz (blueski), Thursday, 13 April 2006 12:59 (eighteen years ago) link

I will be here:
saturday night - soulwax nite versions at canvas

And Monday Stink I think.

Raw Patrick (Raw Patrick), Thursday, 13 April 2006 13:01 (eighteen years ago) link

the last time i went to the old blue last was when anna-marie was djing, she was playing ace stuff but that pub HAS SO MANY CUNTS IN IT. which is my objection, really.

i forgot to book tuesday off and have a morning meeting :(

The Lex (The Lex), Thursday, 13 April 2006 13:07 (eighteen years ago) link

that sucks. its my birthday monday. so its straight to golf from minus, then back to t-bar. which is going to be a bit of a change of pace.

rchinn (rchinn), Thursday, 13 April 2006 13:29 (eighteen years ago) link

braxe sounds good! alternatively i would be psyched to just grab a drink with you guys and see everybody again. i won't be in london long -- just on a stopover before i go to berlin later that week.

geeta (geeta), Thursday, 13 April 2006 13:37 (eighteen years ago) link

OMG! Actual golf raver!

Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 13 April 2006 13:45 (eighteen years ago) link

I am well up for Braxe. French mentalism ahoy!

RickyT (RickyT), Thursday, 13 April 2006 14:49 (eighteen years ago) link

(Dude!)

Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 13 April 2006 15:04 (eighteen years ago) link

it's braxe's worldwide debut apparently--he's never played out before. i am psyched.

(dude!)

geeta (geeta), Thursday, 13 April 2006 15:08 (eighteen years ago) link

At least there be drinks before the house.

Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Thursday, 13 April 2006 15:22 (eighteen years ago) link

least let there

Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Thursday, 13 April 2006 15:24 (eighteen years ago) link

Gheys be hatin' on cunts - inevitable.

BARMS, Thursday, 13 April 2006 15:24 (eighteen years ago) link

hmm im excited about braxe for some reason. is braxe "crydamoure presents Waves I and II" in club form?

ambrose (ambrose), Thursday, 13 April 2006 15:26 (eighteen years ago) link

Dunno 'bout his DJing (thought some of you would bug to the mix CD he did for DJ Mag with Justin Robertson, which I'm not that keen on tracklist-wise) but CB is so not awful, kid.

BARMS, Thursday, 13 April 2006 15:35 (eighteen years ago) link

Are there still tickets for Richie Hawtin??

Tommy Tannoy (Tommy Tannoy), Friday, 14 April 2006 23:21 (eighteen years ago) link

Looks like you can buy tickets for Lost here.

Old Blue Last was good. Only got down there around 10pm. They had started at 10am :|

Prins Thomas played at 12 and had to bail to catch a flight. Music was really good with nu-wave downstairs and italo upstairs. A few messy people though.

Looking forward to hearing Krack again tomorrow night.

rchinn (rchinn), Friday, 14 April 2006 23:30 (eighteen years ago) link

ok fuck it i spent the night in camden, at some shit, im off to buy a lost ticket

charltonlido (gareth), Friday, 14 April 2006 23:39 (eighteen years ago) link

hearthrob (live) + gaiser (live). yes.

rchinn (rchinn), Saturday, 15 April 2006 07:33 (eighteen years ago) link

Same night as the Issst with Braxe, but upstairs...

And did we mention Our Disco Parisian Invasion:

Justice (Ed Banger)
Mr Oizo (F Comm)
Feadz (Bpitch)
Busy P (Ed Banger)
Sebastian (Ed Banger)
Kavinsky
Our Disco residents
Special live guest

Saturday 6th May @ Canvas, £8 in advance from ticketweb, £10 on the door

MattR (MattR), Saturday, 15 April 2006 08:29 (eighteen years ago) link

THE WHOLE OF PARIS is in one yard in King's Cross on 6th May! That's got to be some afterparty. Braxe and friends looks better than that lot though.

Matt DC (Matt DC), Saturday, 15 April 2006 09:01 (eighteen years ago) link

Our Disco parts looks great. Special live guest Uffie?

rchinn (rchinn), Saturday, 15 April 2006 09:33 (eighteen years ago) link

wait......do you think tickets are necessary for Lost?
i had assumed i could just come in a bit early.... is that erroneous?

the key is demonstrably the worst club in london, or the worst one i have been too. jeff samuel was really good but it was like i was clubbing in watford. also, far too expensive. i dont mind expensive as long as i dont feel like cattle and the club is glamourous to back it up. canvas feels worth it, the key is pretty foul.

ambrose (ambrose), Saturday, 15 April 2006 10:04 (eighteen years ago) link

OK, I probably may not be out tonight, but I will visit 93 Feet East on Monday if I can (my dad's in town for Easter).

Hal! Jordan! HAL! JORDAN! (Barima), Saturday, 15 April 2006 12:36 (eighteen years ago) link

I don't think I have ever been to the Key, but that line-up makes it worth all that, I think.

What is the name of that tiny club that's actually a converted underground public toilet on Commercial Street? It's fantastic! We stumbled in there last night intrigued by the neon-lit bus-shelter entrance and the enormous bassline coming through the floor.

Walked in for free and Tomas Andersson's Copy Cat was just kicking in. For the next two hours it was amazing - people went mental to the last minute of Silent Shout and I finally got to hear Dextro's Do You Need Help out. And at least five absolute stormers I will be desperate to identify for the next few weeks. Sometimes, the bright lights and cute girls turn up when you least expect them :)

I don't ever want this thread to end. I want it go on, as an ever-present reminder of the good times.

Matt DC (Matt DC), Sunday, 16 April 2006 13:50 (eighteen years ago) link

public life


we used to do a night there! the old owner had a crazy plan to create and overground Underground, with stations with bikes in and cycle routes following the underground routes painted the same colours. it was dead easy to put nights on, and gareth djed once!

ambrose (ambrose), Sunday, 16 April 2006 13:52 (eighteen years ago) link

public life is good. chances are you probably went to a kubicle party with Tony D or Hector DJ'ing. good stuff. is probably the best afterhours going.

rchinn (rchinn), Sunday, 16 April 2006 15:26 (eighteen years ago) link

Dude. Lost was ACE.

RickyT (RickyT), Monday, 17 April 2006 13:45 (seventeen years ago) link

Lost was good. Not quite the usual lost sound, but that's a good thing in my book. Really good sets by all. Didn't get to hear Troy, but Gaiser was really strong, Magda playing her usual quality industrious building sound, Hearthrob had two huge tunes (Baby Kate, and that one at the end), Richie was strong, but we bailed at 7am, with him only one hour in. Off to T-Bar now to catch the last of it.

rchinn (rchinn), Monday, 17 April 2006 19:47 (seventeen years ago) link

shit.....

well i was way too fucked... this wasnt a good dance music weekend really

ambrose (ambrose), Monday, 17 April 2006 20:26 (seventeen years ago) link

oh, we just got back from t-bar. its kind of good there

this weekend was rubbish, i missed everything

planned badly
position badly
executed badly
morientes

charltonlido (gareth), Monday, 17 April 2006 23:31 (seventeen years ago) link

Didnt make it to T-Bar. Well we did, but there was a decent que, so went down to Sosho to catch Darshan Jesarni and the Laser Magnetic disco, which was kind of cool.

How many m_nus people played at T-Bar? How did Lazarus go playing after some of them?

rchinn (rchinn), Monday, 17 April 2006 23:50 (seventeen years ago) link

do you know, i messed up this weekend so bad? no amount of playing swat squad 12s or reminiscing about red planet stardancer can make up for how straight and sober this weekend turned out to be.

morientes

luckily, there is koze/superpitcher, and then braxe, to redeem self, and lower self into gutter, where i belong

is it wrong, to have a perverse feeling for a dr fernando rehabilitation?

charltonlido (gareth), Monday, 17 April 2006 23:55 (seventeen years ago) link

perhaps indianapolis doesn't seem such a bad idea after all

charltonlido (gareth), Monday, 17 April 2006 23:56 (seventeen years ago) link

i am experiencing some technical difficulties.

The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 07:29 (seventeen years ago) link

Errr... not dancing necessarily, but still clubbing, and I know that some of you are (becoming) regulars... Sonic Cathedrals this Thursday, 20th April. At the Legion, Old Street, same shoetime, same shoechannel.

Come on, you know you want to.

Bernard's Summer Girlfriend (kate), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 08:23 (seventeen years ago) link

hey kate i saw the listing for this in time out but didnt make the connection!

as for G, i wouldnt stress over it! its a bit of a relief for one weekend at least to have not been too hectic. theres lots to come for a start. im think about braxem, thanks for the reminder, i couldnt remember what was on may 6th....

ambrose (ambrose), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 08:55 (seventeen years ago) link

Aaah, what a time to wake up and realise the sun is shining and there's a week of no work ahead :)

T-Bar looked good yeah, we stayed for a drink but I have no idea who was playing or what any of the music was. Everyone looked like they were nicely off their face, especially for a Monday night.

Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 09:07 (seventeen years ago) link

Was T-Bar after I left? Having Lex's girlfriends beg me to do the splits again was way demanding. I can talk a little better today, so at least there's that.

BARMS, Tuesday, 18 April 2006 09:11 (seventeen years ago) link

fabric was kind of normal, i didnt actualy tyhink supetpoitdher was rhat graet, though i htink he played that shane berry tune on trapez, fillertet, someone played something cakled ani jaschneider, at lest, tyhats what my hone sdays

charltonlido (gareth), Sunday, 23 April 2006 12:33 (seventeen years ago) link

i think we have some new afdfitsion to the london cru though

charltonlido (gareth), Sunday, 23 April 2006 12:33 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, he wasn't as good as he was the couple of times I saw him last year. Still fun though. And that last half hour of Slam in room 2 was mental.

RickyT (RickyT), Sunday, 23 April 2006 12:40 (seventeen years ago) link

that song i tried to put in your phone was anja schneider's 'rancho relaxo', gareth! how was turnmills?

agree with ricky t, superpitcher not as great as he has been in the past but still good. that was a really relaxing rave!
