i want to see Cathy's hair!

― ken c (ken c), Saturday, 16 April 2005 11:05 (twenty years ago)

I washed it and now I look like this again.

The upside is that Ally Cook is a very lovely man, today.

― Passive Little Mooro (Mooro), Saturday, 16 April 2005 19:07 (twenty years ago)

I see how long this thread is and feel like trying Glasgow again, even.

I didn't mean he looked like Bez, rather that his role is to dance inconsquentially shaking a tambourine whilst others do the difficult stuff. (this may only be for one song, however, he does do stuff the rest of the time).

Cozen, I texted you after the match to apologise for not phoning you before it. You'll find out if your phone resurrects itself. I didn't know it had died, my condolences.

I might be trying this, in Glasgow.

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Sunday, 17 April 2005 11:26 (twenty years ago)

I'm trying the extreme music from Finland next Friday myself.

― DV (dirtyvicar), Sunday, 17 April 2005 12:20 (twenty years ago)

I would like to go to that. But then I would also like to go to the other thing, RJG has told me.

I do sing a chorus too, on that song. It's not completely inconsequential. I can't do difficult things.

― Ally C (Ally C), Sunday, 17 April 2005 16:27 (twenty years ago)

Yes you can, you can spell inconsequential, which is more than I can manage, apparently.

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 17 April 2005 19:58 (twenty years ago)

I met Cozen at Dolly Mixture. He was rather freaked out!
That was a cool night. Three cheers for Sharon and her team and Dot To Dot!

― Stew (stew s), Sunday, 17 April 2005 21:30 (twenty years ago)

I didn't meet Lauren at Dolly Mixture, but I stood next to her for a bit without knowing who she was, and RJG said "Have you met Lauren" but she left. Oh well.

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 17 April 2005 21:37 (twenty years ago)

it was nice to meet you, stew.

I was a little freaked out, but good freaked.

it was nice to meet you, too, lauren.

hi nick!

― cozen (Cozen), Monday, 18 April 2005 09:28 (twenty years ago)

thank you for the book. it made the ride home that much more pleasant.

at this point, i fear that i'll never meet jed.

― lauren (laurenp), Monday, 18 April 2005 09:58 (twenty years ago)

It is remarkable and good that Dot to Dot get so much better as time goes by without ever actually hearing them. I feel sorry for thsoe of you who have heard them and cannot share in my joy and amazement at their improvement.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Monday, 18 April 2005 10:44 (twenty years ago)

I have got an mp3, of Dot to Dot!

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Monday, 18 April 2005 12:55 (twenty years ago)

Go on, tell them all you described it as

"superior jingle-jangle with a manic edge."

Some cookie96 fans would probably prefer their edges more Manc than Manics.

― Mooro (Mooro), Monday, 18 April 2005 13:40 (twenty years ago)

Yes, I thought it was going to be post-punk angular funk, like The Pop Group or something. But it now transpires that it is in fact superior jingle-jangle with a manic edge. Identifiably Glaswegian, I thought, kind of like The Sound of Young Scotland with senile dementia. I'm not surprised Murdoch likes it, the self-perpertuating ponce. Is Cookie96(tears) singing? I thought the chorus was very good. Well done, Dot to Dot. I think you should get a SUPPORT SLOT.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Monday, 18 April 2005 14:08 (twenty years ago)

On Friday, we supported ourselves. Quite successfully. We will almost certainly come to London this summer. Begin the preparations.

― Ally C (Ally C), Monday, 18 April 2005 16:16 (twenty years ago)

sorry i missed you lauren. my excuse is boring as well as rubbish so i'll spare you it.

― jed_ (jed), Monday, 18 April 2005 16:21 (twenty years ago)

Come to Maidenhead! Captive audience at Smokey Joe's!

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 11:02 (twenty years ago)

Am I right that Maaaaster Haaaapkins is coming to Glasgow on Friday?

― KeefW (kmw), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 17:52 (twenty years ago)

Haaapkins begins the Devonian crusade in two moons time I believe.

I would like an MP3 of dot to dot, I think it would be a hoot

― Porkpie (porkpie), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 18:04 (twenty years ago)

He gets in Friday lunchtime I think, and I can't leave work until four so if anyone without a job wants to entertain him for a bit please feel free.

― Madchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 18:06 (twenty years ago)

Cool. I won't be drinking cider, but I will visit; although I do have a job so it'll be later. Maybe a cider-drinking crusty could entertain him by juggling, in the meantime. Can we assume 'plans' will be posted here?

― KeefW (kmw), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 18:09 (twenty years ago)

I would like to take Tim to the Steps on Glassford Street. Probably just for one, because I think it's a Tennents pub, but I think he'll appreciate the decor.

― Madchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 18:29 (twenty years ago)

One Step closer to Belhaven.

I know. I know.

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 20:32 (twenty years ago)

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 07:39 (twenty years ago)

wow. it's freezing here so any heat would be an improvement.

I get over on Friday morning at about 9, such are the times of cheap flights.

Is Tim going to come to the Arches?

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 08:19 (twenty years ago)

I don't know. There is football in Carlisle the next day, so bedtimes may have to be taken into account if he's feeling old and codgerish. Shall I text him?

― Madchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 09:11 (twenty years ago)

what are you doing during the day on friday, ro?

I get home thursday night.

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 10:20 (twenty years ago)

my back hurts.

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 10:24 (twenty years ago)

football update:

Exeter can still reach the playoffs IF:

1. they beat Carlisle
2. any two of Morecombe, Aldershot and Stevenage don't win and/or also that Woking don't win by more than 4 goals than we do...

Exeter have the hardest game of the five teams fighting for the last two play-off slots...

i don't think i'm speaking out of turn to say that Mr H will definitely be attending said match...

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 10:28 (twenty years ago)

I can't support Exeter, but I will keep my mouth shut :)

― Madchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 11:36 (twenty years ago)

Will Rozen/Conan be in the pub on Friday afternoon? That would be an incentive to leave work early, perhaps.

― Ally C (Ally C), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 11:54 (twenty years ago)

Ronan. where are you staying?

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 12:02 (twenty years ago)

turns out I have an interview at 9.30 on friday, in aberdeen.

I should be in glasgow before, hopefully, 3pm.

afternoon pub is plausible. bagsy being conan.

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 13:23 (twenty years ago)

Mayer tickets are only £10 in advance (if paid with cash) from the Arches. I might go and get some after work. Who wants me to get one for them?

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 13:33 (twenty years ago)

me, please.

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 13:35 (twenty years ago)

I am staying in my sister's, it's here

http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=254943&y=667551&z=1&sv=woodcroft+avenue&st=6&tl=Woodcroft+Avenue,+Glasgow,+G_11&searchp=newsearch.srf&mapp=newmap.srf

where is here? pretty central I guess.

I think pub on Friday afternoon would be good, though maybe not all day until the Arches.

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 13:56 (twenty years ago)

Here is West End, not too far from town.

Nick, I suppose you should get me a ticket too. Is anyone going out to watch the footie tonight? I might.

― Ally C (Ally C), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 14:09 (twenty years ago)

Ronan, I work in the big yellow gap to the left of Chamberlain Road in the top left square! I would invite you to join me on the number 44 into town, but I suspect you'll have been in the pub for a couple of hours by then.

― Madchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 14:20 (twenty years ago)

I may be back home again, I don't know it's hard to plan!

Is it a bus journey away then? Or taxi? I really can't wait for this little trip, I haven't been away for a weekend in 9 months or so.

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 14:29 (twenty years ago)

sorry I mean, I may be back at my sister's, after a few hours, on my way back in!

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 14:30 (twenty years ago)

Nick, I suppose you should get me a ticket too.

Such enthusiasm in one so old!

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 14:30 (twenty years ago)

Pl keep other out-of-towners posted abt the pub venue on Friday - I'm off to see the hairy Finnish hippies in the evening, but it wld be nice to have a drink w/ the ILX diaspora in the afternoon - cheers

I trust everyone who has posted on this thread is going to see Double Leopards and Wolf Eyes on Saturday

― Andrew L w/ a fucked password, Wednesday, 20 April 2005 14:32 (twenty years ago)

it is a bit away from the underground line. there are buses, yes, or trains, even. it is a bit away from the centre centre--it'd be a fair old walk. not too far from the west end, proper, though.

I hope I feel better, by the weekend.

get me a ticket, please, nick.

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 14:33 (twenty years ago)

The 44 will take you into town in about 20 minutes - you could get it on Crow Road or Clarence Drive. Cheaper than a taxi at one pound! And it's quite a nice ride, past the other university and a dinosaur.

Anyway, haven't heard from Tim yet. He is obviously a diligent worker.

― Madchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 14:49 (twenty years ago)

I should add that if anyone wants my mobile number who hasn't got it, email me at lucyalder c/o google's email service.

optimo

Sunday April 24th - Jeans Team

We have a late addition for this Sunday and are delighted to welcome the return of electronic pop maestros JEANS TEAM from Berlin. They last appeared at Optimo back in the day when Optimo was temporarily residing at Mas and were most, most excellent. You can see some crazy clips of them playing live and the video to their current single 'Oh Bauer' on the downloads page of their site. Great, great fun and only a quid extra!

i'm going to see wolf eyes/tony conrad on saturday i think.

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 14:52 (twenty years ago)

I had a dream about Tony Conrad.
