house: pwned

If you're starting up a cutesy mixed-gender indie band, you really should call yourselves "Pineapple Fritters".

i am and i shall

jim how was c4rt3l synd1c4t3 practice sesh

have the got the tunes that the kids want

Wish I could pwn a house ;_;

it was fine, they were done in under two hours and sounded very british

How about that Kyle eh? Or have you already discussed this.

lol i don't think we have discussed the current magda hoo-hah.

hi moley!

he's the radio equivalent of the dude who crapped in the hotel corridor

Hi haitch, hi all!

hai moley

Heya moley how do.

hay weren't you guys supposed to be coming to melbs soon? wappened to that? xpost

austereo head dude doesn't listen to kyle and jackoff-o show. kinda shows a lack of ...respect for his own product maybe?

don't get high on your own supply

What sane person listens to Austereo?

(apart from AWESOME EIGHTIES WEEKENDS on MMM)

he probably listens to whatever the sydney equivalent of mbs is

hay weren't you guys supposed to be coming to melbs soon? wappened to that? xpost

― surfin on my face (electricsound),

Sadly it all went pear shaped. Hard for a Sydders obscure band to get a gig in Melbs!

heh it's pretty hard for obscure melbs bands too!

Yes indeed, and hard when they come to Sydders. Hard all round it is. Hence the burgeoning warehouse scene. I've even heard recently of gigs in the underground sewer systems. Imagine that. People walk over a grate see lights coming through,peer in and there's a dance party happening down there.

When I say underground sewers I probably mean simply undeground tunnels. Sewers would be a little unpleasant. On the other hand, you'd get some pretty fresh shit.

Yeah the warehouse scene seems pretty big in Syd from what R's told me, compared to Melb. Here you'll see a bit of it in the noisecore scene. And there's some cathedralesque stormdrain tunnel under.. hawthorn or somewhere? Where ppl have gigs and raves sometimes.

The breakcore scene I meant. Brain not working today.

Oi Jim can you move my stupid Genesis poll to ILM, I'm a dickhead.

how does one run a club night, is what i wonder. keep thinking an optimo-type scenario would work well down ere - play weird records a bit quieter for first hour or so (let people chat and mingle), have band performance or two, then spin dancier stuff for rest of evening.

Friends of mine are about to start a night at the GB called Harvest thats "soul rock n roll and indie" apparently, looking fwd to that one.

i don't mean to dump on yr friends but that doesn't sound like a terribly original slant on the club nite

tho then i suppose original don't make peeps dance hey

i could count on one hand the times that i have had people dancing when i djed

You gots to play da hits brofo

actually there was that night of the 24HPP launch where i was killin' it.. i got cheers for interpol and my awesome beatmatching from lcd soundsystem to le tigre (admittedly not difficult)

^tru. I was at prob the lollest indie venue in Bris a few weeks ago, as soon as they put on a strokes track all the kiddies went shitnuts. it was pretty terrible. And i felt like such a creepy old dude there, we left v quickly.

i would go shitnuts if i heard fleetwood mac at a clubb

"...and Ultravox!"

I'd love to hear that gypsy song in a club.

Re yr prev list, there are equivalent lists for rock clubs, dance clubs, retro rave events, metal, goffic, r'n'b, hip hop, funk, rockabilly etc etc etc.

There is one night where if things are flagging you play Cherry Pie and the floor fills instantly, just as it did last time and the time before that.

So I find out what this club plays and I give about 70% of it to them again, plus say 30% new stuff that's sorta like the stuff they like. This is the way things are going, we DJs have got to move with the times. We research, arrive prepared, play them their fave tunes, and then leave with our $100. IT'S THE IPOD IPHONE GENERATION. They want the hits all in a row.

i don't mean to dump on yr friends but that doesn't sound like a terribly original slant on the club nite

Oh I know that, but this is people in the "goth" scene, so it makes a bloody nice change, IMO

yeah would love to hear keep on going in a cluub

Not that I give .02 shits about clubs anyway.

Tiny scenes are everywhere these days. Did you know there's a 70's rock scene in Sydney populated entirely by people under 25? I blame the mother of that wolf. I'm a scene hopper. I like scenes, but I don't like to be seen in a scene, seen?
