Phew, at least it's closer than Camden this time.

― Markelby (Mark C), Tuesday, 13 September 2005 14:54 (twenty years ago)

Ken you fucker, wasn't it YOU who smuggled private booze in and almost got everyone chucked out?

I hate Bar Oporto.

― Markelby (Mark C), Tuesday, 13 September 2005 15:45 (twenty years ago)

it wasn't me! i drank all of mine way before i got to that bar (this was the reason i ended up at bloody sutton that night!!!)

CATASTROPHE.

My Aunt is getting married the day after.

At 10am.

In WATFORD.

It is possible that this may impede Sugaring.

Why is your night being advertised by World of Sport's Dickie Davies?

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Wednesday, 14 September 2005 21:47 (twenty years ago)

haha! come to the night to find out!

oh look we have a "website" now
http://www.lolrider.com/sugar

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 26 September 2005 22:42 (twenty years ago)

i dreamt about this last night.. and it was really awesome, despite having a POWER CUT briefly during the night. and the party carried on til the morning, when my ipod ran out of batteries. i played some top tunes and everyone were dancing.

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 27 September 2005 10:07 (twenty years ago)

Ken, I dreamed last night that you'd put an acupuncture needle in the sole of my foot, when I wasn't looking. I was perturbed but willing to accept that it might be for my own good.
I told Steve about this dream earlier and he thought I was recounting a real event. It was quite early in the morning, to be fair.

― suckling pig at a rave (alix), Tuesday, 27 September 2005 10:12 (twenty years ago)

i wonder what that means???!

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 27 September 2005 10:23 (twenty years ago)

Burning question: Sugababes singles or Sugababesw album tracks?

Also, who wants to bet on how many dancefloor clearers I'll play?

― BARMS, Tuesday, 27 September 2005 10:35 (twenty years ago)

well how many songs are you planning to play in total?

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 27 September 2005 10:36 (twenty years ago)

i predict barima will play sunshine underground

i hope barima will play bob james, alan braxe, scarface & bun b, chamillionaire and laurent garnier

― terry lennox. (gareth), Tuesday, 27 September 2005 10:41 (twenty years ago)

from laboratoire garnier

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 27 September 2005 10:46 (twenty years ago)

As Matt DClean can attest, my Garnier/Garnier gags are much frothier.

The theme for the set is "Nostalgia '97-9/Think Big Beat", though that's not as rigid as it sounds. I don't think I'll download anything new between now and Sugar so most of that list is out, but I will choose a Braxe and Falke track, though my favourite (Benjamin Diamond - 'Let's Get High' remix) is more of an end-of-nighter, and that's Lex's job, last I looked.

There are no live mp3s of Sunshine Underground online, however :-).

― BARMS, Tuesday, 27 September 2005 11:01 (twenty years ago)

you should dl chamillionaire - platinum stars, i think that would go down v well!

― terry lennox. (gareth), Tuesday, 27 September 2005 11:07 (twenty years ago)

I'm playin' Sway, though! Also, I meant "won't be able to download anything new" before.

Ain't it RickyT's b-day? I may have to play either Braxe's DFA1979 mix or Phones' Bloc Party touch-up.

― BARMS, Tuesday, 27 September 2005 11:22 (twenty years ago)

if you can get people dancing to Big Beat in this day and age then I will doff my hat to you accordingly (pending acquisition of said hat beforehand)

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Tuesday, 27 September 2005 12:16 (twenty years ago)

??? Big Beat is dance music for dancing to!

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 27 September 2005 12:25 (twenty years ago)

I will dance to big beat, it has a beat whot is big.

― Pete (Pete), Tuesday, 27 September 2005 12:27 (twenty years ago)

NO BIG BEAT.

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 27 September 2005 22:29 (twenty years ago)

NO BIG BEAT

― terry lennox. (gareth), Tuesday, 27 September 2005 22:52 (twenty years ago)

you don't understand.

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 08:28 (twenty years ago)

why all the other kids are going for the new phat elegant big beats

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 08:58 (twenty years ago)

NO BIG BEAT.

― RickyT (RickyT), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 09:06 (twenty years ago)

what is big beat anyway?

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 09:10 (twenty years ago)

Ah, these Kids Of Today!

I feel that there's a Big Beat revival just a-warmin' up to happen...

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 09:10 (twenty years ago)

Ken, you've heard of Fatboy Slim, right?

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 09:11 (twenty years ago)

oh right, that's big beat?

that sounds great then

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 09:13 (twenty years ago)

I was saying last night, it's a year away, two at the most.

― Tom (Groke), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 09:13 (twenty years ago)

what are the qualities that makes it "big beat" (aside from there being beats in there, that are big? i mean, what makes other tunes with beats that are big in them not big beat?)

i'm never good with categorising things.

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 09:14 (twenty years ago)

The "big" in "big beat" stems from the fact that Phill Jupitus is a fan.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 09:15 (twenty years ago)

so anything with a beat that Phill Jupitus likes is Big Beat?

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 09:19 (twenty years ago)

Except perhaps for Billy Bragg.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 09:23 (twenty years ago)

because their alliterations clash?

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 09:25 (twenty years ago)

As one of the kids of today, may I say that I am very fond of big beat.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 10:00 (twenty years ago)

Please, can I just ask BONGO MORATORIUM!!! My ears are still ringing from the "interesting" bongos.

― The Brocade Fire (kate), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 10:18 (twenty years ago)

Well, fuck! No bongos, no big beat, no Marcello - I might as well not play.

Incidentally, Ricky, your high haterade consumption means there'll be no tokenist indie for you at all now.

― BARMS, Wednesday, 28 September 2005 16:09 (twenty years ago)

Seriously, any Go! Team fans here can experience bowel evisceration any day now.

― BARMS, Wednesday, 28 September 2005 16:11 (twenty years ago)

i'm trying to think of stuff you could play that is SO Big Beat but would fool the haters into thinking otherwise. tres difficult tho. Midfield General's 'Reach Out' could almost be Britney (the voice at least) but it's a bit slow like (bonus points for seguing All Seeing I into Spears own cover of 'Beat Goes On' are up for grabs though).

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 16:18 (twenty years ago)

Funnily enough, the Britney I am playing is almost big beat like in construction, but of a more electro funk-rock nature. It's only mildly faster than 'Reach Out'.

Honestly though, the set is really based around the fact that I've chosen more tracks from '93-'99 than 2000 onwards.

― BARMS, Wednesday, 28 September 2005 16:22 (twenty years ago)

Enough with the music talk. What shall I wear?

― marianna lcl (marianna lcl), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 19:32 (twenty years ago)

FEATHER BOLERO!

― The Lex (The Lex), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 20:23 (twenty years ago)

Done!

― marianna lcl (marianna lcl), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 20:26 (twenty years ago)

big pleats

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 21:42 (twenty years ago)

The poppier end of electrohouse is getting very big beat again - that Moonbotica mix album is three quarters of the way there, just needs the drums to get chunkier.

I predict I will like most of this stuff when I finally listen to it again.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 30 September 2005 07:10 (twenty years ago)

This is in a week! (This may also be the last one ever.)

― marianna lcl (marianna lcl), Friday, 30 September 2005 07:22 (twenty years ago)

YAY! (NOOOOO!)

― robster (robster), Friday, 30 September 2005 07:30 (twenty years ago)

97 sminety seven. Any fool knows that big beat was over when better living through chemistry hit the mainstream, no later that late '96

― Ed (dali), Friday, 30 September 2005 07:34 (twenty years ago)

Please not the last one! (I can't make it)

― Tom (Groke), Friday, 30 September 2005 07:42 (twenty years ago)

Well, fuck! No bongos, no big beat, no Marcello - I might as well not play.

I never said "no Marcello," just that they probably won't let me in. I don't fit the average picture of a thrusting, enterprising, 21st-century, post-Thatcher Friday night clubgoer.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Friday, 30 September 2005 08:05 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, what Tom said! (also well played, Ed!)

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Friday, 30 September 2005 08:17 (twenty years ago)

Last one? You mean we've finally run out of venues that haven't banned Lex and ken?

― BARMS, Friday, 30 September 2005 08:21 (twenty years ago)

they all hate asian people

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 30 September 2005 09:11 (twenty years ago)

Is Bar Oporto called that because of its beautifully decaying design, or is it cos they serve gigantic buckets of meat smashed inside sandwiches?

― Daniel_Rf in Oporto (Daniel_Rf), Friday, 30 September 2005 09:52 (twenty years ago)

Also, if it's anything like the city, there's sure to be some audience anger over the lack of post Trip-Hop muzak and Bauhaus.

Mind you, our mayor dances to anything:

http://www.cm-porto.pt/media/imgnews/1361.jpg

― Daniel_Rf (Daniel_Rf), Friday, 30 September 2005 09:57 (twenty years ago)

that's the "politician dance" for next time's flyers (if there is a next time)

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 30 September 2005 10:54 (twenty years ago)

i wonder if we could get alastair campbell down.

― The Lex (The Lex), Friday, 30 September 2005 11:03 (twenty years ago)

What is this club like, if it is a club, and why are so many of you so keen on it?

― the pinefox, Friday, 30 September 2005 11:10 (twenty years ago)

Do you promise me that there will be Bauhaus?

Pinefox, it is a dancey and pop sort of club night, lots of stuff is played that is fun to dance to. If you enjoyed Poptimism, you might like this.

Also, if you come, I will ply you with wine again! Always an added bonus.

― The Brocade Fire (kate), Friday, 30 September 2005 11:27 (twenty years ago)

I'm not so keen on this club now.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Friday, 30 September 2005 12:46 (twenty years ago)

http://www.cm-porto.pt/media/imgnews/1361.jpg

YOU'LL DANCE TO ANYTHING BY PUBLIC IMAGE LIMITED

― Roxymuzak, Mrs. Carbohydrate (roxymuzak), Friday, 30 September 2005 13:40 (twenty years ago)

F.A.T.S. is not really like poptimism at all though

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 30 September 2005 14:22 (twenty years ago)

It's all the same people. Dancing to lots of the same music. But in a different place on a different night. It's more similar to Poptimism than it is to, say, Trash.

― The Brocade Fire (kate), Friday, 30 September 2005 14:23 (twenty years ago)

it's not even all the same people!

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 30 September 2005 14:24 (twenty years ago)

(or music actually!!!)

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 30 September 2005 14:25 (twenty years ago)

OK, I've only been once, so what do I know?

― The Brocade Fire (kate), Friday, 30 September 2005 14:25 (twenty years ago)

I mean, honestly, no offense was intended. OK! It's completely different people! Strangers you've never met before! Dancing to music you've never ever heard before in your life!

― The Brocade Fire (kate), Friday, 30 September 2005 14:25 (twenty years ago)

:-D

(i've only been to one too! ;))

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 30 September 2005 14:26 (twenty years ago)

there will definitely be quite a few strangers at this one. plus there won't even be many ilx people until after 11 anyway!

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 30 September 2005 14:27 (twenty years ago)

rf: Tim H and RickyT Birthday FAP 7th October Calthorpe Arms

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 30 September 2005 14:28 (twenty years ago)

Plus sea shanties! And pirates!

― The Brocade Fire (kate), Friday, 30 September 2005 14:29 (twenty years ago)

but yes, while it's not poptimism, it's DEFINITELY not trash, either.

although it may well be rubbish. who knows!

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 30 September 2005 14:30 (twenty years ago)

Way to big us up, Ken.

― marianna lcl (marianna lcl), Friday, 30 September 2005 17:24 (twenty years ago)

What does 'rf' mean?

― the pinefox, Friday, 30 September 2005 19:30 (twenty years ago)

really funny

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 30 September 2005 23:16 (twenty years ago)

Three days coming.

And Ken is right - there'll be lots of strangers. My rolodex worked mondo overtime on this one.

Dancing to music you've never ever heard before in your life!

No one actually does this aside from me though (dancing to and playing unknowns).

― BARMS, Tuesday, 4 October 2005 17:31 (twenty years ago)

that's practically what i was doing for the final two hours the last time

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 5 October 2005 09:00 (twenty years ago)

I think the pinefox asks silly questions, on purpose.

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Wednesday, 5 October 2005 09:18 (twenty years ago)

I like Sugar, but I'm afraid I'll have to forget about it this week because I'm double booked for Friday. Sorry guys.

― Anna (Anna), Wednesday, 5 October 2005 10:26 (twenty years ago)

:( i guess by "forgetting about the sugar" it isn't to mean you'll be coming.

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 5 October 2005 10:40 (twenty years ago)

Sorry, I'm not...

― Anna (Anna), Wednesday, 5 October 2005 10:41 (twenty years ago)

:( maybe next time though (if there is one)

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 5 October 2005 10:46 (twenty years ago)

It honestly isn't much like Poptimism, the first time it was on I was a bit worried cos I thought, well everyone will go to this and not fancy us the week after, but the music is different - more dance and electro, more R&B - and the crowd is different - young trendies instead of LiveJournal goths. Different flavours in the great opal fruit packet of pop!

― Tom (Groke), Wednesday, 5 October 2005 11:35 (twenty years ago)

Anna, we'll miss you.

I'm suprised we had you worried, Tom. I thought all the gays preferred Poptimism ;-). And I thought the young trendies were all of Lex's LiveJournal goths, excepting the young peeps I asked along.

― BARMS, Wednesday, 5 October 2005 14:19 (twenty years ago)

Well I wasn't biting my nails or anything, in the week leading up to a Poptimism though I will latch onto anything when it comes to fretting over attendance!

I forgot Lex had his own Goths!

― Tom (Groke), Wednesday, 5 October 2005 14:36 (twenty years ago)

I once drew a diagram to illustrate the young trendy/LiveJournal goth axis. It explains everything. However I lost it down the back of a bit of furniture so instead I will have to bring young trendy livejournallers to FATS to explain it all...

― Flyboy (Flyboy), Wednesday, 5 October 2005 14:41 (twenty years ago)

i can't come any more. boo. sorry folks. dance it up for me!

and keep nov 26th free for a new falling over/dancing in London experience...

― CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Wednesday, 5 October 2005 15:03 (twenty years ago)

Is that the final Friday of November, C? I have promised myself I must go to Edinburgh or Manc around then.

― BARMS, Wednesday, 5 October 2005 15:21 (twenty years ago)

I'm going to Spain then.

No, actual Spain.

― Tom (Groke), Wednesday, 5 October 2005 15:41 (twenty years ago)

it's a saturday. cancel all your plans!

― CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Wednesday, 5 October 2005 16:00 (twenty years ago)

― marianna lcl (marianna lcl), Wednesday, 5 October 2005 19:37 (twenty years ago)

in a terrible twist of event i had a NIGHTMARE about this last night and the night went awful and i left home early (and then realised i had to be sitting the doors at midnight and i had to come back)

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 7 October 2005 09:31 (twenty years ago)

it was awful :(

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 7 October 2005 09:31 (twenty years ago)

if you go on the ILx Dreams thread you'll find Anna had a similar nightmare!

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Friday, 7 October 2005 09:33 (twenty years ago)

Oh, I fully expect it will be half-disaster, half-THE-GREATEST-NIGHT-EVER. I decided to dress as a sassy secretary and have a bag full of cds that ALWAYS make me giddy with joy, so I'm happy whatever.

Ok, where exactly *is* Bar Oporto? I know I've been there before but it was a long time ago and I was very drunk. (I'm assuming this is the place that Tigermilking used to be at?)

Oh, I know this place. It is next to a gym.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Friday, 7 October 2005 13:17 (twenty years ago)

Blimey! That is a five minute walk from my office. I was going to try and go to the birthday bash first... but it would be backtracking! And I am not going to work till 8, even though they would like to.

But yes, Sonic Boom cancelled so I shall probably put in an appearance. Good that you got the email, let's talk about it.

― Paranoid Spice (kate), Friday, 7 October 2005 13:32 (twenty years ago)

I believe there are some head shots kicking around, but I forgot to get someone to take a full-length shot from behind to capture the brilliance of my pencil skirt with gigantic bow detail + red seamed stockings.

oh there was a dance off?

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 11 October 2005 15:51 (twenty years ago)

That'll be because the supermegazordanceoff rendered everyone incapable of even semi-intelligent reactions. The video has me obscured by an onlooker for Jeebus sake.

(I can't believe you went to Trash without me again, though as I was completely yuppified last night, they'd prob'ly attempt to go fashion nazi on me)

Alex, Joe Macare and I have Sugar postmortems on our LiveJournals this week. Nick took some positively asskick photos of Alex and I in the DJ booth, but I'll have to coerce him into gett6ing them off his phone (no, Alex, you're not allowed to coerce him yourself).

Kate's shirt, and indeed, the rest of her outfit, was pretty hot.

Sigh. I just wish the rest of me was as hott as my outfit. Got to do something about that double chin because for the first time in my life I'm looking at a picture and thinking I'm dressed well.

Dammit, dudes, can you do the superdanceoff thing next time the Shimuras play? Or in our video? Cause that was the coolest thing I've ever seen.

Yeah, I will, but it's gonna be tough to come up with a better outfit. It's like MJ on the Victory tour or JT at the VMAs or Will.I.Am in the blue jacket in the 'Hey Mama' vid. How often do I wear hats, eh?
