― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Monday, 18 October 2004 11:13 (twenty-one years ago)

i really wish i could make this, but i'll be in boston :-(

― toby (tsg20), Monday, 18 October 2004 11:23 (twenty-one years ago)

i'll go to boston instead if you like

― Freelance Hiveminder (blueski), Monday, 18 October 2004 11:30 (twenty-one years ago)

That's a long way to go just to avoid hearing me DJ, Toby.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Monday, 18 October 2004 16:35 (twenty-one years ago)

strange reading there. i expect it will be a fun night as always.

― Freelance Hiveminder (blueski), Monday, 18 October 2004 16:47 (twenty-one years ago)

Bump.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 20 October 2004 12:02 (twenty-one years ago)

Woohoo! I will be crazed from packing! Bring on the cocktails!

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Wednesday, 20 October 2004 12:05 (twenty-one years ago)

i'm glad this is next week rather than this week. i think i might die if i had to go out dancing tomorrow. so tired. i'm sure i'll be ready for dancing fun next week though. woo!

― colette (a2lette), Wednesday, 20 October 2004 12:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Regrettably I am unable to attend due to dinner committments.

― suzy (suzy), Wednesday, 20 October 2004 12:12 (twenty-one years ago)

Who will be DJing early doors? I might start saving up.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Wednesday, 20 October 2004 12:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Regrettably, I am attending our National Conference which will have repaired to the Euston Flyer at 5pm. I could drag some people there, but I expect a drunken mess of football fans from around the Uk might not be up for it.

― Dave B (daveb), Wednesday, 20 October 2004 12:25 (twenty-one years ago)

A drunken mess of a Dave B might be, surely?

I am excited about this. I am planning a set of route-one girlpop with the occasional trick up my sleeve*. The night will also see Tom's much trailered Europop set.

*Stevem will be please to learn this does not include that mix of Drop The Pressure and Dr Beat.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 20 October 2004 12:29 (twenty-one years ago)

and euston flyer is about 15 mins walk (or 5 mins bus) from the chapel!

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 20 October 2004 12:29 (twenty-one years ago)

route-one girlpop sounds filthy.

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 20 October 2004 12:29 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh, it is.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 20 October 2004 12:30 (twenty-one years ago)

see you next thurs!

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 20 October 2004 12:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh vey. Can you play that mash-up of 3Lions?

― Dave B (daveb), Wednesday, 20 October 2004 12:31 (twenty-one years ago)

i'm saying it's perfick for a drunken group of football fans :)

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Wednesday, 20 October 2004 12:56 (twenty-one years ago)

they can contribute to that fund thing, then

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 20 October 2004 14:45 (twenty-one years ago)

My set is going to be the Too Much Love set. I will think it's great, assuming I don't fuck it up, but I suspect others will be less enthusiastic. I believe I have booked an 8pm slot, so as not to feel guilty if no one is inclined to dance - or more honestly, to allow me to feel freer to play what I want rather than safe-bet floorfillers.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Wednesday, 20 October 2004 16:20 (twenty-one years ago)

i think you should play sth for my birthday.alas i'll be in belgium celebrating my 18th birthday. (i wish, i actually turn **)

― jesus nathalie (nathalie), Wednesday, 20 October 2004 16:49 (twenty-one years ago)

I'd love to hear Martin Skidmo' djing, but I won't be able to make this unfortunately. Have fun, y'all.

― MarkH (MarkH), Wednesday, 20 October 2004 20:22 (twenty-one years ago)

surely Three Lions is due a proper schaffel rerub now

― Freelance Hiveminder (blueski), Thursday, 21 October 2004 07:57 (twenty-one years ago)

I might even go.

Could you play some different music this time?

― the bluefox, Thursday, 21 October 2004 08:08 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm sure Martin will be playing some different music - perhaps more in tune with your tastes.

― Marcello Carlin, Thursday, 21 October 2004 08:10 (twenty-one years ago)

oh yeah, i forgot, i'm supposed to be more crabby about club FTs after the request incident last time.

oh well, i'm still coming. and still glad it's next week rather than tonight.

― colette (a2lette), Thursday, 21 October 2004 08:12 (twenty-one years ago)

i feel like a piece of turd today so i'm also glad this is next week.

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 21 October 2004 08:13 (twenty-one years ago)

Martin, can I request "There's Too Much Love" by Belle and Sebastian? I'll give you a quid...

― Markelby (Mark C), Thursday, 21 October 2004 08:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Blimey - currently playing on my office stereo: "Fox In The Snow" by B&S! Synchronicity!

― Marcello Carlin, Thursday, 21 October 2004 08:38 (twenty-one years ago)

i wonder what different music is

― Freelance Hiveminder (blueski), Thursday, 21 October 2004 08:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Actually I will place my first Grecian Earn request for Cellular Minutes by Mad Anju please.

― Starry (hello chickens), Thursday, 21 October 2004 08:41 (twenty-one years ago)

I would assume that Pinefox means music which is different to the music customarily played at Club FT.

― Marcello Carlin, Thursday, 21 October 2004 08:48 (twenty-one years ago)

I presume he means music that he likes (there was rather a lot of very Pinefox-unfriendly dance, rap and UK garage at the last one). I'd never noticed a huge amount of overlap between his and Martin's tastes but maybe I just haven't been paying attention.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 21 October 2004 08:55 (twenty-one years ago)

UK garage?

― Freelance Hiveminder (blueski), Thursday, 21 October 2004 09:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, you know, the Troggs, the Downliners Sect, the Artwoods, that kind of thing.

― Marcello Carlin, Thursday, 21 October 2004 09:22 (twenty-one years ago)

i don't usually pay attention to the music, i just go for the cheap cocktails

― Freelance Hiveminder (blueski), Thursday, 21 October 2004 09:24 (twenty-one years ago)

i think i remember the pinefox requesting music that he could breakdance to, actually.

will that request fall with matt or martin?

― colette (a2lette), Thursday, 21 October 2004 09:25 (twenty-one years ago)

I must admit that previous Club FTs have suffered a bit too much from the old "knowing the hits" syndrome, but the last one was better, but on saying that, I can't remember anything pre-last Club Popular so maybe I'm a liar liar with my undercrackers on fire, yer get meh?

I think Tim P!o!p!kins should do a TRUCKING SET.

― Starry (hello chickens), Thursday, 21 October 2004 09:25 (twenty-one years ago)

i will play cellular minutes (if i remember).

tom is promising an ALL NEW-ALL THE TIME set (except "save a horse" i'm guessing)

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Thursday, 21 October 2004 09:27 (twenty-one years ago)

One of the reasons I'm doing the Europop set(s) is that I want to force myself not to just get drunk and play Girls Aloud and the Pet Shop Boys.

This is not to say the Pinefox will enjoy my stuff any more. Sorry PF.

And the tunes will of course still be big.

― You didn't see me, right? (Groke), Thursday, 21 October 2004 09:28 (twenty-one years ago)

deep in the heart of club FT is the thorn of the indie disco.

― Jaunty Alan (Alan), Thursday, 21 October 2004 09:33 (twenty-one years ago)

There's MUSIC at Club FT's? I think I've been going to the wrong club.

― Rob Bolton (Rob Bolton), Thursday, 21 October 2004 09:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Maybe I'm getting it confused with Sainsbury's

― Rob Bolton (Rob Bolton), Thursday, 21 October 2004 09:34 (twenty-one years ago)

I will be attempting to play all the Big Tunes that have not yet been played. There's hundreds of the bloody things so it shouldn't be too tricky.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 21 October 2004 09:35 (twenty-one years ago)

Maybe I'm getting it confused with Sainsbury's

this just very nearly made water come out my nose. well done.

― colette (a2lette), Thursday, 21 October 2004 09:52 (twenty-one years ago)

if you guys let me DJ you'll get to hear tons of great and unusual hits.

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 21 October 2004 09:53 (twenty-one years ago)

Big Six, Big Seven, Big Eight...

― Marcello Carlin, Thursday, 21 October 2004 09:54 (twenty-one years ago)

"unusual" that is

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 21 October 2004 09:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Offhand I can only think of "It's Not Unusual."

― Marcello Carlin, Thursday, 21 October 2004 10:01 (twenty-one years ago)

i wondered where you were, ah well next time eh?

― Freelance Hiveminder (blueski), Friday, 29 October 2004 11:15 (twenty-one years ago)

I talked to roxy on the phone! She was nice. But very quiet. The kids outside the shop were WAY COOL. One of them had a firework in his pocket and I had to pretend I wasn't scared to that they didn't start thinking that I wasn't also WAY COOL. When I got home I played GTA for about an hour then gave up because I was too drunk and just kept getting lost and falling off my bmx. Then I got up this morning, and turned on the PS2 again, and realised that I'd had it plugged into the wrong SCART socket, the non-RGB one, which meant that everything was tinted yellowy-green. And I hadn't noticed the whole hour I was playing! I was properly broken.

Martin's set contained some great things which I hadn't heard before. And Matt's transition from East17 to Ebeneezer Goode was beautiful.

― JimD (JimD), Friday, 29 October 2004 11:15 (twenty-one years ago)

we marvelled at how much 'X Offender' appeared to be a complete rip-off of Springsteen's 'Born To Run'

???!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 29 October 2004 11:28 (twenty-one years ago)

I talked to JimD on the phone! He was nice and I was quiet. Sorry, Jim, I was smoking and every time there was a pause for me to talk I was taking a big inhale.

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Friday, 29 October 2004 11:29 (twenty-one years ago)

Hello everyone. I am still alive, but I've only just got home. r0x0r. Still, great night and I am very relieved that a) people danced, b) I didn't fuck up and c) none of my CDs skipped (damn you Mannion for giving me the fear). Martin's set was fantastic as well. I'm fairly sure I didn't play Girls Aloud, but then again I didn't play half of what I intended to. Still, stuff what I did play, off the top of my head:

Le Tigre - I'm So Excited
Blondie - Hanging On The Telephone
Annie - Me Plus One
Mylo - Drop The Pressure (Erol Alkan edit)
2Pac - California Love
AC/DC - You Shook Me All Night Long
Justin Timberlake vs Black Strobe - Like I Love Me And Madonna
East 17 - House of Love
The Shamen - Ebeneezer Goode
Avril Lavigne - Sk8er Boi (Synthpop mix)
Britney - Toxic
Daphne & Celeste - Ugly

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 29 October 2004 11:36 (twenty-one years ago)

haha, i'd forgotten about the double daphne and celeste playing...

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Friday, 29 October 2004 11:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Also my friends were all very impressed with the sheer volume of fun had last night and want to go back next month, which makes me think the night was a success. And some of them know StevieT and Mrs StevieT, which was a bit random.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 29 October 2004 11:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah Steve the first thing I noticed when I started playing that was you going "DAMN YOU!" Still, there's not enough D&C and Club FT.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 29 October 2004 11:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Incidentally, I'm slightly worried that this is the third thread when someone has asked "is Matt DC still alive?"

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 29 October 2004 11:43 (twenty-one years ago)

haha sorry matt it was britney toxic actually i was thinking of - young people's music all sound to same to me.

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 29 October 2004 11:44 (twenty-one years ago)

So Martin, are you suggesting that "Hot Lips - Wet Pants" wasn't juxtaposed with tATu on purpose...?

― Markelby (Mark C), Friday, 29 October 2004 11:46 (twenty-one years ago)

(xpost)

that's because it's all written by cathy dennis.

― Marcello Carlin, Friday, 29 October 2004 11:46 (twenty-one years ago)

the phantom song writing menace

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 29 October 2004 11:47 (twenty-one years ago)

D&C were played?! I should've overcome my tiredness. I'll DEFINITELY come to the next one, promise.

― The Lex (The Lex), Friday, 29 October 2004 11:50 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah tiredness wasn't a valid alibi

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 29 October 2004 12:03 (twenty-one years ago)

I guess it's time to break it to Kate that she is our illicit child, marianna.

When Marianna told me you were "very accommodating", I really had no idea.

― B.A.R.M.S. (Barima), Friday, 29 October 2004 12:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh my god. KEN WHY DID YOU TURN ME INTO A BACON PAINTING?!?!? That really freaks me out.

The dancing, oh the dancing. What fun. Except for the bit at midnight where all the boys suddenly turned into pumpkins and DISAPPEARED TO GO AND BUY VIDEOGAMES, I MEAN, WTF?!?!?

Man, that was great fun. And a reminder that Daphne and Celeste piss on taTu FROM A GREAT HEIGHT!!!

I plan on rearranging rehearsal to make it to every single club in the future. Especially if CarsmileSteve and Tom actually make good on their drunken promises to let me do a shoegazer bubblegum set!

― Kissing Time At The Pleasure Unit (kate), Friday, 29 October 2004 12:07 (twenty-one years ago)

how does one sign up to this DJ list thing? one would have to be an FT contributer i suppose..

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 29 October 2004 12:08 (twenty-one years ago)

a reminder that Daphne and Celeste piss on taTu FROM A GREAT HEIGHT

thank you for ruining my day there

― Freelance Hiveminder (blueski), Friday, 29 October 2004 12:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Ruining? Or do you mean because you'll have to spend the rest of the day beating off frantically?

― Markelby (Mark C), Friday, 29 October 2004 12:11 (twenty-one years ago)

mark, get off this thread you bad boy ;)

ken, all you have to do is ask.

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Friday, 29 October 2004 12:13 (twenty-one years ago)

haha mark i was just gonna say...

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 29 October 2004 12:13 (twenty-one years ago)

yay steve can i sign up?? i've got a great idea for a set list.

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 29 October 2004 12:14 (twenty-one years ago)

Argh, stupid web cafe won't let me send email, dammit.

Thanks to this thread, I seem to somehow have agreed to go to a Halloween costume party as Pete Libertine's Drug Habit. Oh dear.

Though maybe I should just go as the TWO FACED ZOMBIE MARIANNA AND KEN C LOVE CHILD!!! (Is that criminal enough, though?)

― Kissing Time At The Pleasure Unit (kate), Friday, 29 October 2004 12:14 (twenty-one years ago)

well it'll not be 'til jan or feb, but yes.

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Friday, 29 October 2004 12:15 (twenty-one years ago)

REMINDS STEVE THAT HE ASKED VERY NICELY FOR ANOTHER SET SEVERAL WEEKS AGO THX BYE

― Markelby (Mark C), Friday, 29 October 2004 12:16 (twenty-one years ago)

woot!

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 29 October 2004 12:17 (twenty-one years ago)

i bet my set would be better than yours mark.

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 29 October 2004 12:17 (twenty-one years ago)

there'll be more DJs than punters at this rate (that actually happened to me once - oh dear)

― Freelance Hiveminder (blueski), Friday, 29 October 2004 12:18 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah, DAMN RIGHT, it'd be better than yours.

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 29 October 2004 12:18 (twenty-one years ago)

and would bring all the boys to the yard

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 29 October 2004 12:19 (twenty-one years ago)

Hey, hey, I asked first! Humph! That would help redress the gender imbalance of the DJ-ing.

(However, the problem being that if you are DJ-ing, you can't be DANCING at the same time, unfortunately.)

― Kissing Time At The Pleasure Unit (kate), Friday, 29 October 2004 12:21 (twenty-one years ago)

(OH YES YOU CAN!)

― Rob Bolton (Rob Bolton), Friday, 29 October 2004 12:22 (twenty-one years ago)

(Rob OTM)

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 29 October 2004 12:23 (twenty-one years ago)

that's true actually, the podium isn't too sturdy and the CDs would probably skip

everyone should calm down about the DJing - perhaps there should be a lottery?

― Freelance Hiveminder (blueski), Friday, 29 October 2004 12:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Too many DJs is not a good idea.

Then Club FT would become like an improv gig - the audience looks reasonable until you realise they're all musicians waiting for their turn.

― Marcello Carlin, Friday, 29 October 2004 12:24 (twenty-one years ago)

So Martin, are you suggesting that "Hot Lips - Wet Pants" wasn't juxtaposed with tATu on purpose...?

Only in that those records were on my final shortlist and the sequence seemed to offer a good transition from the brief rock section into the female section (which I didn't realise I'd created until I looked back at it).

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Friday, 29 October 2004 12:25 (twenty-one years ago)

Too many DJs is not a good idea

I'd LOVE to see them at club FT! But I imagine they command a pretty high fee these days...

― Rob Bolton (Rob Bolton), Friday, 29 October 2004 12:28 (twenty-one years ago)

they'd teach you rob, but they'd have to charge.

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 29 October 2004 12:30 (twenty-one years ago)

they'd teach you to rob, but they'd have no change.

― Marcello Carlin, Friday, 29 October 2004 12:31 (twenty-one years ago)

they'd teach you to rub to create a charge

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Friday, 29 October 2004 12:55 (twenty-one years ago)

Roxy wins!

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Friday, 29 October 2004 12:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Did I miss Stevie T? I am getting good at that.

Martin's list looks nice, on the whole. I don't know Hot Lips Wet Pants.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Friday, 29 October 2004 13:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Mylo - Drop The Pressure (Erol Alkan edit)

i didn't notice the difference between this and the original - and it felt a bit long for an edit ;) it is funny how 'House Of Love' was the big ignition track last night

― Freelance Hiveminder (blueski), Friday, 29 October 2004 14:02 (twenty-one years ago)

and YAY FINALLY DR JONES WAS PLAYED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 29 October 2004 14:06 (twenty-one years ago)

They are different Steve - Erol just beefed it up a bit, added a beatless breakdown and a glitchy and BIG WHOOSHING NOISES when it kicks in. I played it mostly for the whooshing noises actually, and actually turned it up at that bit.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 29 October 2004 14:19 (twenty-one years ago)

Hot Lips - Wet Pants was the one minute track that sounded like a girlgroup version of Atari Teenage Riot.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Friday, 29 October 2004 14:48 (twenty-one years ago)

in an ideal world this is how all music sounds...

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Friday, 29 October 2004 14:50 (twenty-one years ago)

I'd like to check the Felix and Glimmers mixes of Mylo sometime.

― B.A.R.M.S. (Barima), Friday, 29 October 2004 14:52 (twenty-one years ago)

If it cleared the floor for one minute, that is good, it gave the wood time to recover.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Friday, 29 October 2004 15:01 (twenty-one years ago)
