I had fun in Glasgow too. I went to the CCA on Friday to see weird Finnish bands. On Saturday I spent some time in Mono, and then went to the CCA to see weird experimental bands from all over the shop. Sunday I went to Mono again for breakfast, then to the Byres Road area for fun, then back to Mono for pints. I didn't see anyone from ILX, unless some of the people I did see are secret ILX posters.

Glaswegians of a certain age on the razzle

I think this is basically me now. Although I think I might think of myself as from Edinburgh now... Altogether classier.

Obviously the term 'Belgian nu beat' passed me by back then. I'm kind of glad it did in some sense. It was something to do with a guy swimming. On the chart show at least.

It doesn't sound like your sort of thing Peter...Did you go to this '1992'? Amongst others, I went to a semi-crusty club called 'Delerium' in 1992. They played Ozric Tentacles.

DV, i was at CCA. I was often in the downstairs bit at 4pm playing chess on a napkin with my friend, drinking beers and eating chips and smoking.

Finnish bands were amazing. Wolf Eyes blew me away.

I randomly got spotted at Mayer thing by ILX dudes, who were all lovely people... it was great to meet some real ILXers.

I think my friend's friend Marceline actually lived in the flat ILX dudes went back to.

― Tannenbaum Schmidt (Nik), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 17:26 (twenty years ago)

just to add confusion, '1992' was actually in 1989.

i don't think i spotted any ilx or ilm'ers all weekend. perhaps name badges would be a help in future? i might have seen some at mayer but much had been drunk by that point in time.

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 17:29 (twenty years ago)

she does, yes.

it was nice to meet you, too.

crosspost

Oh I see... It was a kind of 'European Union' thing going on. I think I may have met you before briefly in the old 13th note Mr.Stirmonster maybe five years ago... You know Joss Moorkens don't you?

Mr.Stringbender, I am intrigued by your Belgian Nu Beat past. Incidentally, my current plan is to come to London for a 'knees-up' around the old Joanna, maybe Sunday/Monday/Tuesday next week? How does that sound?

― KeefW (kmw), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 17:37 (twenty years ago)

today i graduated to letters! woo hoo! so you'll have me to thank tomorrow for photos of tom selleck and poison.

― dahlin (dahlin), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 17:39 (twenty years ago)

jed and I, at least, saw you at mayer, stirmonster.

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 17:44 (twenty years ago)

Oh, was the Colin guy I shook hands with Jed then?

― KeefW (kmw), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 17:46 (twenty years ago)

oh, yes, sorry.

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 17:47 (twenty years ago)

Don't be sorry! That's cool!

― KeefW (kmw), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 17:48 (twenty years ago)

: )

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 17:51 (twenty years ago)

Oh I see... It was a kind of 'European Union' thing going on

yes. it was a really bad concept based around 'music without frontiers'. sadly it wasn't a knockout.

and RJG, yr right, i did see jed and yrself.

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 17:53 (twenty years ago)

oh yes, and i do know joss though we seem to have lost touch now.

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 17:57 (twenty years ago)

We should organize a Scotland knees-up the next time Joss is over. I'm off for my own mini-knees-up now.

― KeefW (kmw), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 18:04 (twenty years ago)

I was sorry not to hook up w/ Tim H and other ILXers - my friend Frank, who I was staying w/ in Dennistoun, took me on a fantastic walking tour of the city, from the Necropolis to the University, and by the time that had finished I had to head straight to the CCA.

I also enjoyed the Finnish hippies on Friday - particularly ES - and lots of the noizemakers on Saturday night, tho' I found Wolf Eyes a bit jockish this time round (w/ his meaty arm punching and freshly shaved head John Olson now looks like one of the High School Nazis in Animal House or something...) - INSANELY loud tho

My highlight was actually Hototogisu on Thursday night - Matthew Bower and Marcia Bassett from Double Leopards making VAST drones from just gutted gtrs microphones and amps - pure white light from the mouth of infinity - Virgin Eye Blood Brothers also dished up some gd sick shit right after

I sort've fell in love w/ Glasgow

― Andrew J L, Tuesday, 26 April 2005 18:14 (twenty years ago)

Glasgow is so confusing. I need a lie down.

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 18:19 (twenty years ago)

Take a large measure of Orange Juice

― Mooro (Mooro), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 18:27 (twenty years ago)

People I was confusedly burbling to in the pub on Friday about someone called Andrew something that posted on the Try Glasgow More thread and might be supposed to be being in the pub, Andrew JL would be that same person I meant.

Ally C, are you going to watch Chelsea v Liverpool tomorrow in a pub?

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 18:38 (twenty years ago)

I'm game.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 20:22 (twenty years ago)

i might have seen some at mayer but much had been drunk by that point in time.

me to sam on saturday " i dunno why i feel so bad today, i wasn't that drunk"

him " er... are you joking? you were FUCKING WASTED"

:-/

― jed_ (jed), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 20:48 (twenty years ago)

haha you were too!

but no matter. it's all part of the fun. I saw that Fabrice Lig track in Rub-A-Dub the next day but didn't listen to it, I'll be gutted I bet when I download it off your gmail and like it.

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 20:52 (twenty years ago)

i didn't make it to optimo on time - glad to hear i didn't let you and alba down. i wonder if Nick schmidt went?

― jed_ (jed), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 20:55 (twenty years ago)

stirmonster, I have an M&S badge though I can only wish it said 'cozen'.

yeah, colin, you were kinda drunk.

ronan, it was really cool to meet you. I was telling amanda about your 'shall we look up the definition of a song' spiel, it was v.funny.

well done to RJG as well for spotting t.schmidt. it ws nice to meet you too nick, we should grab a drink at sonar.

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 27 April 2005 11:19 (twenty years ago)

Andrew, you were staying round the corner from where Tim was staying with me.

― Madchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 27 April 2005 11:20 (twenty years ago)

I don't think I am up for football tonight anymore - I didn't get enough sleep last night and earlys start zzz.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 27 April 2005 11:58 (twenty years ago)

Stacey, were you responsible for "Chariot of Fur"?

― Madchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 27 April 2005 14:57 (twenty years ago)

i wish! nah... and now i'm back to writing about lovelorn cows and their mechanical diggers... bah.
i can't believe no one has mentioned the hilarious dot to dot list review yet!

― dahlin (dahlin), Wednesday, 27 April 2005 20:32 (twenty years ago)

believe it.

I didn't make it to Optimo, jed.... well I did but it was at 11:30 the queue looked too long, so we stayed in the cab and went to NiceNSleazy and then home.

Had fun in Stereo earlier watching karakoe and then some kaelie (sp?)

Glasgow is a grand city, I loved Kelvinhall park.

Cozen, Sonar beers soon come.

― Tannenbaum Schmidt (Nik), Wednesday, 27 April 2005 22:27 (twenty years ago)

Ceilidh.

― Ally C (Ally C), Wednesday, 27 April 2005 22:29 (twenty years ago)

Aye.

― Tannenbaum Schmidt (Nik), Wednesday, 27 April 2005 22:32 (twenty years ago)

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 27 April 2005 22:41 (twenty years ago)

devil in disguise.

phew, nick, i'm glad i didnt miss anyone at optimo (except stirmonster, i think he goes every week).

― jed_ (jed), Thursday, 28 April 2005 01:29 (twenty years ago)

Kelvingrove.

― Madchen (Madchen), Thursday, 28 April 2005 07:39 (twenty years ago)

Was it better than my review?

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Thursday, 28 April 2005 08:12 (twenty years ago)

I actually can't remember what spiel my "look up the dictionary definition of a song" thing was, was it a rant at Alba? I did a few of those I think but it's a blur now!

― Ronan (Ronan), Thursday, 28 April 2005 08:41 (twenty years ago)

Does anyone want to join me for FREE WINE on 12th May at 6pm? It's at the SECC and you have to pretend you're interested in antiques. I can take 3 people with me. Do you need persuading? FREE WINE.

― Madchen (Madchen), Thursday, 28 April 2005 13:36 (twenty years ago)

Free wine? That sounds like exactly the kind of thing that floats my boat. I watch Bargain Hunt sometimes, does that qualify me to kid on I care about antiques?

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 28 April 2005 15:29 (twenty years ago)

It'll do!

― Madchen (Madchen), Thursday, 28 April 2005 15:58 (twenty years ago)

I met an old woman who was thrown out of aberdeen graveyard for singing christmas carols in april, today.

― cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 7 May 2005 17:10 (twenty years ago)

This is not about Glasgow. Either I had a dream about Cozen or I just thought about Cozen, yesterday. I wonder if there is still time to try Aberdeen.

― Ally C (Ally C), Sunday, 8 May 2005 13:36 (twenty years ago)

I might try Edinburgh.

― Tim (Tim), Monday, 9 May 2005 13:50 (twenty years ago)

I just saw Patrick at Queen Street Station. I was with two work people and we both acted embarrassed.

― Madchen (Madchen), Monday, 9 May 2005 14:22 (twenty years ago)

Patrick is taking my picture, tonight!

― Ally C (Ally C), Monday, 9 May 2005 14:35 (twenty years ago)

what about glasgow?

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 9 May 2005 14:54 (twenty years ago)
