Afternoon, Kerr!

Ooh, teh kit has the idea. What's that from? I don't even like videogames, but if they involve pointy nosed sea captains, they're alright.

Virginia Plainsong (kate), Friday, 29 September 2006 10:54 (nineteen years ago)

i don't think you give video games a fair chance.

that is a screenshot from Sid Meier's PIRATES!
i'd link to the ILG thread on it, but meh.

teh_kit (g-kit), Friday, 29 September 2006 10:59 (nineteen years ago)

haha i have just bought 2 magic eye books off amazon i am a loser.

let's party like it's 1999!

teh_kit (g-kit), Friday, 29 September 2006 11:02 (nineteen years ago)

I just don't like games, fullstop. I don't see the point, really. ALl that fighting and point scoring. I just don't understand.

I mean, some of the more narrative ones were interesting from a visual perspective (Amano-designed Final Fantasies especially) but I just can't get engaged with them.

Virginia Plainsong (kate), Friday, 29 September 2006 11:02 (nineteen years ago)

I have a mental weekend this one, Trip to Bristol, the cotswolds, cooking for my mum and young person's folk dancing.

Ed (dali), Friday, 29 September 2006 11:23 (nineteen years ago)

It took me ages to learn how to do Magic Eye puzzles. I used to get so frustrated by them. Then one day, I went cross-eyed and I saw it!

The Books Etc. down the street from me is having a £1 sale. Do I dare go in there, or will this way badness lie?

Ooh, the Cotswolds. remember to bring me home a Cotswold Cottage! The tweeer the better!

Virginia Plainsong (kate), Friday, 29 September 2006 11:24 (nineteen years ago)

anyway you could jiggle your databases to give me a million pound mortgage I don't have to pay back.

Ed (dali), Friday, 29 September 2006 11:26 (nineteen years ago)

I totally would, but we'd have to pay off Compliance, who sit behind me. Though they're about to all go down the pub. Hrmmm.

One of these will fit in your pocket, no?

Hello All. I met Pete Waterman last night at some champagne fuelled property launch thang to celebrate his new County Hall development. Not overly impressed with the man, but all the discs on the wall (he has his recording studio down there too now) was pretty cool. Better the devil you know I suppose if I had my hand on my heart. But I've got to be certain it's happening all over again.

Nobodys Prawn (Nobodysprawn), Friday, 29 September 2006 11:44 (nineteen years ago)

Blimey! Now that's a 'cleb I can be impressed by!

Virginia Plainsong (kate), Friday, 29 September 2006 11:46 (nineteen years ago)

Still owns a railway engineering firm I believe.

Ed (dali), Friday, 29 September 2006 11:53 (nineteen years ago)

No, no, actually I want this one:

http://www.motojournals.com/europe2003/images/20047752.cotswoldswoolenmansion.jpg

With lots of barns and things to keep all my Gloucester Old Spot pigs (which, according to Country Life are *the* thing to keep on your estate right now) in.

Damn, though, one of compliance is eating lunch at his desk so no fake mortgage for us. :-(

Virginia Plainsong (kate), Friday, 29 September 2006 11:53 (nineteen years ago)

Best blood for black puddings, gloucester old spots.

Ed (dali), Friday, 29 September 2006 11:54 (nineteen years ago)

Errrr... do we have to eat them? Can't we just keep them as pets? Like piggie dalmations:

prawn! i was thinking about you yesterday. all week actually. the russian is flying a PLANE tomorrow, want to come?

emsk ( emsk), Friday, 29 September 2006 11:57 (nineteen years ago)

We could train them up as trufflehounds!

Look at this face:

http://www.farmschool.com/albc/ALBC_Photos/images/GloucesterOldSpotPig_jpg.jpg

This is the problem with being a farmer. I'd cry when I had to make bacon of mine animals. Actually, come to think of it, I didn't, when I was a wee child and my best friend's parents turned the pigs into sausages. I said "yum, sausages" and ate them up. I was a brutish little child, I guess.

I'll grow cheeses instead. What kind of cute rare breed cows can we get for cheese making?

Virginia Plainsong (kate), Friday, 29 September 2006 11:59 (nineteen years ago)

goats

Ed (dali), Friday, 29 September 2006 12:00 (nineteen years ago)

x-post, WHAT?!??!?!

Who is letting The Russian fly a plane?

I wouldn't trust her with anything with an internal combustion engine! She will want too much FIRE!!! out of it.

x-x-post no, goats will eat my clothes. But they make good cheese. Hrmmm. How would you make a goat-proof enclosure? ANything you could surround them with, they would simply eat.

emsk ( emsk), Friday, 29 September 2006 12:30 (nineteen years ago)

Eep!

OK, the sale wasn't all that. I got Historic Britain From The Air (lots of lugubrious pictures of castles) for £3, Follies and Mazes for £4 and, erm, The Line of Beauty. Not on sale at all.

Virginia Plainsong (kate), Friday, 29 September 2006 12:32 (nineteen years ago)

Someone kill my colleagues, please.

Ed (dali), Friday, 29 September 2006 12:35 (nineteen years ago)

Why, what are they doing?

Mine are still down the pub.

Virginia Plainsong (kate), Friday, 29 September 2006 12:51 (nineteen years ago)

we've had the daily football conversation annow the random annoying noises start, awit, we are back on football

Ed (dali), Friday, 29 September 2006 12:52 (nineteen years ago)

Things like this are why I bring headphones to work. I have no football, no random annoying noises, no recycle bin darts league, just sweet, sweet Roxy Music crooning in mine ears.

I have just about enough work to keep me from losing my mind. But I need to rest said mind for the hell that will be monthend next week.

Virginia Plainsong (kate), Friday, 29 September 2006 13:03 (nineteen years ago)

I've been hoodwinked into going to a comedy club tonight. Sometimes they're funny, but they usually make me hate myself and want to die. Saying that, if I don't go out soon I'll just collapse into an introverted misanthrope, and I don't think I can be doing with that.

Johnny B Was Quizzical (Johnney B), Friday, 29 September 2006 13:07 (nineteen years ago)

I'd chew mine own foot off to get out of going to a comedy club, but, erm... still, going out is nice. Try to just enjoy it. If you're going with friends, just have a good time hanging out with them, rather than having to deal with bad comedy.

Virginia Plainsong (kate), Friday, 29 September 2006 13:11 (nineteen years ago)

If they have an open mic, get up and tell bee jokes

Ed (dali), Friday, 29 September 2006 13:13 (nineteen years ago)

BTW Kate, I'm going to hold you and francis to a promise of singing at the next magpie's nest open mic, your songs must be lewd and bawdy or brutal and bloody and not EMO

Ed (dali), Friday, 29 September 2006 13:24 (nineteen years ago)

I have no time for Emo folk. If Frances and I sing, you can bet that it will indeed be both bawdy and bloody. With lots of sex and a high body count. Lusty maidens and bloodthirsty crows and all.

Virginia Plainsong (kate), Friday, 29 September 2006 13:26 (nineteen years ago)

Oh, and sorry Emsk, but I don't think I'm coming out tonight if I'm going out tomorrow and Sunday.

Virginia Plainsong (kate), Friday, 29 September 2006 13:55 (nineteen years ago)

I hate comedy clubs too, JB. I'll be the one engaging in some shit anecdote or crap impression if I want some comedy in a pub. Having said that I went for lunch with a really good (amateur) one the other week who was a bit like Jarvis x Peep Show. But speaking of comedy, the RUSSIAN in a plane??? Has anyone phoned the BAA, CAA, BA, Aeroflot, Stelios etc

It's not bad enough I have to sit up all night trying to finish my Plan B articles before the deadline, but I come back and this is now the Plan B thread? take it to their message board or I'll... I'll... post lugubrious photos of AMPy with Owen Pallett. Phwoar.

http://static.flickr.com/114/278672136_3aae561352.jpg

I think there might be a band catfight over Owen, but we'll just have to share. Sigh. (God, I hope he doesn't read ILE as well as ILM or I am in trouble.)

Today is not my day. Went to the doctor, only to be told that he is "off sick" - no one rang me. They claimed they did "but couldn't get an answer". Dudes, there are no missed calls on my mobile! Liar. Had to reschedule for Monday.

Got caught in a downpour walking home. Then got on a train, which got delayed by "signal problems" which kept moving from Blackfriars to City Thameslink depending on what station we were at. (There were men dressed like Ed in the tunnels between City and Farringdon so that might be it.) So it stopped for ten, fifteen minutes at every bloody station. And I've only just got in. :-(

Going Through The Motions (kate), Wednesday, 25 October 2006 10:23 (nineteen years ago)

Actually, never mind, AMPy can have Owen. This is my future husband:

You never told me that 'They came from the stars I saw them' was an early 21st century style german jazz house act.

Ed (dali), Wednesday, 25 October 2006 10:26 (nineteen years ago)

They are? they didn't used to be. They could be bloody anything by now.

Going Through The Motions (kate), Wednesday, 25 October 2006 10:27 (nineteen years ago)

The crowd don't seem too impressed by him (xxpost)

The sun sets on twelve tons of pickled onions. A dynasty is dying... (Dada), Wednesday, 25 October 2006 10:29 (nineteen years ago)

Could be japanese jazz house as well. I don't think they or anyone in the audience realises how they sound like early Jazzanova Compost recordings (few extra wibbly bits, no imposed four to the floor). I quite liked them though (I have aforementioned early JCR recording and like those too).

TSDOLE were great again and I had a brief chat with the drummer as I was leaving. They make me so happy.

Ed (dali), Wednesday, 25 October 2006 10:31 (nineteen years ago)

I think I have caught the cold :( Not been feeling so great since last night.

Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy (Kerr), Wednesday, 25 October 2006 10:37 (nineteen years ago)

That crowd are so totally STONED I'm surprised they can even stand up.

Sorry to hear yer ill, Kerr. Eat garlic. That scares off colds.

When I was hanging around with Hilton Betegeuse, he was all into Krautrock and drone but then again, he was an E dealer for so long, the house thing doesn't surprise me.

I would like to see TSDOLE again, I was trying to write a review of them last night and couldn't quite capture them.

Bah - Sonik Kathedrals are having their big Krautrock night, but it's the SAME NIGHT as the next Shimura Curves gig, (2nd November) so I'm quite upset I can't go. But whatcha gonna do?

At least it's payday today.

Going Through The Motions (kate), Wednesday, 25 October 2006 10:40 (nineteen years ago)

Many were sitting down on the floor in front of the stage.

TSDOLE are on at the dublin castle on the 28th. They were slightly hampered by the smaller stage at the Luminaire which would have been fine apart from the last act's drumkit being on stage as well as the one that TCFTSIST and TSDOLE were using.

Ed (dali), Wednesday, 25 October 2006 10:43 (nineteen years ago)

Bah - Sonik Kathedrals are having their big Krautrock night

What do people do, dance?

Flop their fringes around and stare at their shoes - what else does one do at Sonic Cathedrals?

Dublin Castle's stage is even smaller than the Luminaire's!

Going Through The Motions (kate), Wednesday, 25 October 2006 10:47 (nineteen years ago)

What do people do, dance?

How do you dance to krautrock?

Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy (Kerr), Wednesday, 25 October 2006 10:50 (nineteen years ago)

How do you dance to any other kind of music?

You sway your hips and you move your arms and legs in time with the beat, occasionally jumping up and down. I would have thought it was obvious.

Going Through The Motions (kate), Wednesday, 25 October 2006 10:51 (nineteen years ago)

There's shitloads of danceable Krautrock!

The sun sets on twelve tons of pickled onions. A dynasty is dying... (Dada), Wednesday, 25 October 2006 10:51 (nineteen years ago)

Yes, they just usually play it at Kosmische, and everybody dances. Sonic Kathedrals is going all Krautrock for one evening because Damo Suzuki is playing.

Going Through The Motions (kate), Wednesday, 25 October 2006 10:55 (nineteen years ago)

Anyway, don't go to that! Go see Shimura Curves instead! Bah!

I would imagine the metalheads and shoegazers clubs have lots of wigs on the floor then.
*Imagines all the shoegazers and metalheads dancing round their wigs while the ladies dance around the handbags*

Do shoegazing ladies dance around their pedals?

Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy (Kerr), Wednesday, 25 October 2006 13:22 (nineteen years ago)

Can I just say that people are evil, people burn you, and if any of you ever think I look like I'm getting close to anyone ever again, to slap me and tell me to stop it.

Forest Pines (ForestPines), Thursday, 26 October 2006 07:54 (nineteen years ago)

Mate, I've always said that that's true. A rock feels no pain and an island never cries, and all that jazz.

Johnny B Was Quizzical (Johnney B), Thursday, 26 October 2006 08:18 (nineteen years ago)

Johnny, I think you should get yourself down to a folk club, all the girls were too clean for me, no 'hundred years of soot underneath that dress' last night but right up your alley I think.

Ed (dali), Thursday, 26 October 2006 08:20 (nineteen years ago)

It might be different round your way, but every folk club I've been to round here is populated with stereotypical old men with beers and banjos and a pint of mild. Good fun, but not exactly packed with totty. As opposed to WOMAD, where I couldn't leave the camp site without there being hot fun girls everywhere.

Johnny B Was Quizzical (Johnney B), Thursday, 26 October 2006 08:35 (nineteen years ago)

You need to come and visit on a day the magpie's nest is going. I think you'd got weak at the knees. Especially at the last band I think.

http://www.thedevilsinterval.co.uk/

Ed (dali), Thursday, 26 October 2006 08:39 (nineteen years ago)

Oh yes, JB would like the Devils Interval indeed, they'd get his socks off. Even they seemed surprised by how *young* the Magspies Nest audience is. But really... it's because folksongs are *filthy*! Where else can you hear such great medieval terms for smut?

God, there were cute boys there, too. It was a bit disorienting.

FP, some people are evil. Not all of them. However, that is generally why it's so advisable not to leap too quickly into relationships, not to get all emotionally engaged before you have some kind of depth sounding as to the reliability and trustworthiness of the relationship. If you go to the beach, do you go straight to a cliff and dive in, let yourself be carried off by the current then moan "water is EVIL!!!" when you find yourself drowned? Or do you paddle in slowly, get used to the water, try to find your depth and watch out for the tide? Be *careful* sweetie, that's all I'm saying.

Going Through The Motions (kate), Thursday, 26 October 2006 09:29 (nineteen years ago)

Kate, YHM about tonight and am hoping you'll be able to join me at the Al3x J@m3s Bar at say 5.30/45 for a 6.10 show.

suzy (suzy), Thursday, 26 October 2006 09:33 (nineteen years ago)

I must say I was very impressed by the song about where the 6 dead incest babies (aborted?)were buried was magnificent in its brutality. 

Ed (dali), Thursday, 26 October 2006 09:41 (nineteen years ago)

Yes, I asked for a quite high body count, and we certainly got one.

Anyway, here's a pile of TSM boys:

Ed, do you find yourself strangely attracted to railway tunnels? ;-)

Thanks, Kate. I just wish all the mutual acquaintances who are saying "yeah she's a bit mad, we wondered what you were doing," had warned me off beforehand. And that I'd listened to the one friend who did do that.

Forest Pines (ForestPines), Thursday, 26 October 2006 09:52 (nineteen years ago)

Ed, do you remember the name of the bloke who did that song about the "hundred years of filth beneath her finery"? That's the problem with open mic nights - you never really get to find out who you're listening to.

Suzy, cocktails will have to wait until after the film, coz I'm sneaking out early to meet you.

Going Through The Motions (kate), Thursday, 26 October 2006 09:56 (nineteen years ago)

No, but I will email Joe later on and find out, also about the room and sound system.
