ugh that always ends badly! mongrels, spring '09

piss orf jim!!!!!

You won't be surprised to know about my involvement in the burgeoning 80s synthpop scene.

I'm going to call myself DJ HardLOL

were you the watermelon from that severed heads tv spot?

xpost

jim what's your position on stevie's 'stand back' in the club context.

hmmm welp i think it could be awesome but i would have to experience same, preferably biscuited to the eyeballs

felix-ified version. would go ORF i'm thinking

For the rock clubs I call myself '@ndy @rseC@ndy'. The story behind that name is that one of the promoters was talking to the other. She said 'What's Andy's DJ name?' and the other one said 'Ask Andy'. Then the first one goes '@rseC@ndy'? and puts that name on the flyer.

hahaha great story

(x-x-post) hmm yes agreed stormer

felix-ified version. would go ORF i'm thinking

quite banging

It's not intelligent and it's not from Detroit but it's fackin avin' it

detroit can eat a fuc

lolll i say this wearing the 'juan & kevin & jeff & derrick' t-shirt

Speaking of 80s synthpop tunes me and R were going to do some covers of some, inna psych/shoegaze stylee, for shits n gigs.

Any suggestions? He wants to do some obscure A-Ha song. Me, I thought something like Visage or Spandau Ballet could be lol.

Fade To Grey was made to shoegaze, as was Mind Of A Toy or even Damned Don't Cry.

'head over heels' is 'A MUST!', as they say

Yeah it was Damned dont Cry I had in mind. I can totally hear that with swooshy walls o' noise.

Also on my list: Kim Wilde "View from a Bridge" and Duran's "Chauffer", but R said the latter's too obvious and I think he's right.

xpost funny you say that haitch! One we are def doing is "Shout".

If our karaoke versh was anything to go by, we're ON A WINNAR.

lolllll

i have retired my karaoke take on 'purple rain'. you do a couple of good performances and people start expecting too much!!

How about Tubeway Army /Gary Numan - there's 'Every Day I Die', 'Tracks', 'Me I Disconnect From You' - all potential shoegazer material.

Hmmmm, Gazza I didnt think of - tops! Maybe an oldschool Simple Minds song could work too. "I Travel", or "Someone Somewhere in Summertime".

nu gold dream would be quite shimmery

Speaking of Ultravox, this one is a corker if you're looking for something to play to bored fashion chicks at electro clubs - The Thin Wall:

Weird how John Foxx leaves then Ultravox start sounding more like John Foxx than he does.

I love that song!

There is this -

So can anyone be arsed going to see Pixies? Theyre playing at Festy Hall, ugh.

there's a thread on ILTRMB on the cyclist definition of 'fred'!

they were good last time out if you missed 'em trayce. still, festering hall, lol.

presale's $120 and regular is like 80 or 90 bucks... wtf.

my interest in the pixies has been much the same since 1993ish, i.e. nil

i like that song about the very hung fellow though

i have survived thus far without actually buying any of their records, so i am nowhere near hardcore

was a good show tho

I loved em when they first appeared in 87 or whenever it was Come on Pilgrim came out. I remember thinkning they were ripping of the Femmes. If they had toured in the early 90s I would have sold my left tit to see them, but now... eh.

were they really that titillating

rather an odd headline this one
