Yes! I am excited! A fair few NZ Ile people are going too, Elisabeth, Damian, probably B:Rad though I don't know, some others I"m not sure... should we look forward to much? Is it tapes w/live vocals? IS IT an experience to look forward to? I'm listening to the first (only, as far as I know, where's the next one?) album to rock me up for it.

arggh. i hate auckland.

― di smith (lucylurex), Wednesday, 15 January 2003 13:49 (twenty-three years ago)

They're playing in Auckland NZ as a sideline from the Big Day Out. I really don't know if they'll be any good. Anyone seen them?

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Wednesday, 15 January 2003 13:49 (twenty-three years ago)

they will be amazing.

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 15 January 2003 13:50 (twenty-three years ago)

yes i'm jealous.

― erik, Wednesday, 15 January 2003 15:03 (twenty-three years ago)

They're a terrific live show, but the American chick's accent in German makes we want to scream.

― Colin Meeder (Mert), Wednesday, 15 January 2003 15:05 (twenty-three years ago)

They're pretty damm boring live. They play a md, occasionaly fart around with things spread across a couple of tables including an airpad and wave their arms around like your high school drama treacher pretending to be a tree. Maybe they have learnt to be a little less detached from their surroundings.
If you like the music you'll probably like the show. Peaches did a better act since she interacted/confronted the crowd and was plain deranged at times.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Wednesday, 15 January 2003 15:15 (twenty-three years ago)

Sucking on my *** like you wantin' me, callin' me all the time...

Huh, Yeah! UH!!!

What else is in the teaches of Peaches? Sex on the beaches!

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 15 January 2003 15:17 (twenty-three years ago)

I have both (cos and peaches) and they sound awesome turned up really loud in my car cuz my speakers are busted.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 15 January 2003 15:17 (twenty-three years ago)

Cooooool.... I LOATHE Peaches. I saw her once, it was the most ridiculous awful stupid "oh sweet god I paid for this" show ever! So, CoS look better. Please, more! Even if it has nowt to do w/CoS, who cares...

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Wednesday, 15 January 2003 15:35 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm listening to Saint Etienne's "Sound of Water", for example

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Wednesday, 15 January 2003 15:38 (twenty-three years ago)

Cooooool.... I LOATHE Peaches. I saw her once, it was the most ridiculous awful stupid "oh sweet god I paid for this" show ever!

Now just replace her cheerleading section with the Chick on Speed molesting eachother with makeup and keeping more clothes on. Switch tunes as appropriate. I mention Peaches as she was on right after Chicks on Speed. They were both different to say the least.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Wednesday, 15 January 2003 16:53 (twenty-three years ago)

I haven't really heard great show reviews of either (CoS or peaches), but sometimes when you're crusin' you just need some loud drum machine/ female vox action.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 15 January 2003 16:55 (twenty-three years ago)

i think peaches is fantastic live, although it's been nearly 2 1/2 years since i saw her (with gonzales) so maybe her act has changed. but, judging from that gig, i'd never describe her as boring.

― sand.y, Thursday, 16 January 2003 01:38 (twenty-three years ago)

It was boring, I mostly talked to people instead of watching.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Friday, 17 January 2003 11:02 (twenty-three years ago)

actually I can't say I'm surprised. I'm quite content to just hear Glamour Girl at an indieschmindie disco occasionally. Find it hard to believe the group could maintain that kind of momentum.

I wouldn't want to hear them five times a day (ducks).

― MarkH (MarkH), Friday, 17 January 2003 11:08 (twenty-three years ago)

I loved their breasts, I've forgotten the rest

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Friday, 17 January 2003 11:10 (twenty-three years ago)

I liked it, but I was up the front hem hem DANCING so I guess I would. One of the more anonymous videos-projected-onto-a-backdrop I've seen, though - expected something more engaging, um. nice costumes, & more NOIZE than I expected. not a complete waste of time, despite being knee-deep in hipsters!

― Ess Kay (esskay), Friday, 17 January 2003 12:15 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah I didn't really introduce you to enough hipsters, did I? I don't like most of them. Nor Elisabeth. I don't remember NOIZE maybe I should've paid attention more. Or at all.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Friday, 17 January 2003 12:23 (twenty-three years ago)

The only time peaches has been good live, whilst i've been in the audience is when se was backed by pansonic.

― Ed (dali), Friday, 17 January 2003 12:25 (twenty-three years ago)

I meant Elisabeth doesn't like the hipsters any more than I do, not that I dislike her, which was probably obvious anyway.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Friday, 17 January 2003 14:29 (twenty-three years ago)

I probably shouldn't have been asking "Are you a scenester?" or "Are you an indykid?" in an intense fashion when you introduced me to people, arf. I think I drunkenly expounded some sort GUT theory of German post-gabba something to uh someone, I forget.

― Ess Kay (esskay), Friday, 17 January 2003 14:32 (twenty-three years ago)

Well you did meet a great big SCENESTER, plus a pretty bid INDYKID, so yr excused I'm sure. Also the scenester was once a tennis pro, though that was probably mentioned already

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Friday, 17 January 2003 14:35 (twenty-three years ago)

I was a drunken annoyance all night anyway. Since when are me and M. Middleton such great mates? Not to mention my assault on poor Duncan.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Friday, 17 January 2003 14:40 (twenty-three years ago)

hem hem & what an ASSault it was!

― Ess Kay (esskay), Friday, 17 January 2003 14:48 (twenty-three years ago)

Hee hee. Who complimented my ass? I can't remember, it was A. or K., I'm pretty sure.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Friday, 17 January 2003 14:49 (twenty-three years ago)

So was I OTM or not?

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Friday, 17 January 2003 14:53 (twenty-three years ago)

CoS um cleaned the stage/ceiling; I don't think they molested each other with makeup - they did rip bits of each other's netshawls off though. Um there was twenty seconds or so of waistholding during a rabid freestyle, I think.

― Ess Kay (esskay), Friday, 17 January 2003 14:57 (twenty-three years ago)

hahah andrew hung out with piglet.

― di smith (lucylurex), Saturday, 18 January 2003 09:22 (twenty-three years ago)

I did? Who's piglet?

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Sunday, 19 January 2003 10:33 (twenty-three years ago)

come on! the diminutive size, the eyes too close together, the snout...

― di smith (lucylurex), Sunday, 19 January 2003 10:36 (twenty-three years ago)

But you weren't there!

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Sunday, 19 January 2003 10:37 (twenty-three years ago)

you just said upthread, duh!

― di smith (lucylurex), Sunday, 19 January 2003 10:38 (twenty-three years ago)

That was a joke, ah, does his name begin w/M? Yes, I did. I semi-stole his beer.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Sunday, 19 January 2003 10:38 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh look I did too. He's my mate, he is.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Sunday, 19 January 2003 10:39 (twenty-three years ago)

ewwwww piglet germs!!!!

― di smith (lucylurex), Sunday, 19 January 2003 10:39 (twenty-three years ago)

So like are you on a University computer, then? Yr not on AIM, after all. Too bad.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Sunday, 19 January 2003 10:40 (twenty-three years ago)

Di explained, actually.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Sunday, 19 January 2003 15:15 (twenty-three years ago)

Geez btw I must not use terms that can be taken wrongly, "scenester" is kind of a compliment to me/Elisabeth (you see lots of music and know a lot of cool/nice people, sounds good), but not I now know to people in general. There was a bunch of stuff that made the word that way but it's not too interesting...

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Monday, 20 January 2003 07:55 (twenty-three years ago)

Electro is so dead please move on. Vogue magazine reckons Peaches dirty electro pop makes her a new fashion icon, need I say more. She's just too shit.

― tiny, Monday, 20 January 2003 19:39 (twenty-three years ago)

no offense ess-kay but "indykid" is the lamest insult ever.

― di smith (lucylurex), Tuesday, 21 January 2003 01:47 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah same w/that word really

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Tuesday, 21 January 2003 02:03 (twenty-three years ago)

ha ha you indy kids

― duane (24 hour troubleshooter), Tuesday, 21 January 2003 02:06 (twenty-three years ago)

duane is the patron saint of indykids.

― di smith (lucylurex), Tuesday, 21 January 2003 02:10 (twenty-three years ago)

i don't even know what one is

― duane (24 hour troubleshooter), Tuesday, 21 January 2003 02:14 (twenty-three years ago)

duane is the patron saint of indykids.

― di smith (lucylurex), Tuesday, 21 January 2003 02:15 (twenty-three years ago)

They like the Smiths and the Pixies and Belle and Sebastian and Pavement and wear "unfashionable" clothing.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Tuesday, 21 January 2003 02:17 (twenty-three years ago)

so they're like me except they're young & they got shitty music taste, ok i got it

― duane (24 hour troubleshooter), Tuesday, 21 January 2003 02:18 (twenty-three years ago)

I don't think you qualify too well. "They" do other stuff too, if they really exist anyway.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Tuesday, 21 January 2003 02:19 (twenty-three years ago)

Believe me they exist!

― Elisabeth (Elisabeth), Tuesday, 21 January 2003 02:28 (twenty-three years ago)

oh this is just fucking silly.

― di smith (lucylurex), Tuesday, 21 January 2003 02:29 (twenty-three years ago)

i would rather be an indykid than someone who runs around calling other people "indykid" as a smarmy insult and worrying whether they are themselves indykids. i mean who the hell cares? its not about what the person is into, its about their personality, right? lets keep it that way. sorry to be a bitch, this is just getting on my nerves.

― di smith (lucylurex), Tuesday, 21 January 2003 02:35 (twenty-three years ago)

I didn't think it was serious

― Elisabeth (Elisabeth), Tuesday, 21 January 2003 02:44 (twenty-three years ago)

it's hard to tell around here

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Tuesday, 21 January 2003 02:44 (twenty-three years ago)

You have an "indie" personality? No-one as far as I know was being insulting, or worrying about whether they were an IK.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Tuesday, 21 January 2003 02:44 (twenty-three years ago)

sorry that "smarmy" thing was aimed at no-one on this thread, i just wish that everyone, myself included, had treated that smug misguided webdiary with the ignorance that it deserved.

― di smith (lucylurex), Tuesday, 21 January 2003 02:45 (twenty-three years ago)

Rio's way better anyway.

― Elisabeth (Elisabeth), Tuesday, 21 January 2003 02:50 (twenty-three years ago)

fuck yeah.

― di smith (lucylurex), Tuesday, 21 January 2003 02:50 (twenty-three years ago)

but i still have the right to call people "scenester" when i wanna, cos i am a smarmy musician.

― di smith (lucylurex), Tuesday, 21 January 2003 02:53 (twenty-three years ago)

And a scenester... yes I remember about "indykid" now, I get you.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Tuesday, 21 January 2003 02:55 (twenty-three years ago)

that diary is killer funny

― duane (24 hour troubleshooter), Tuesday, 21 January 2003 03:20 (twenty-three years ago)

(that diary)

― duane (24 hour troubleshooter), Tuesday, 21 January 2003 03:21 (twenty-three years ago)

Yr note was the funniest bit.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Tuesday, 21 January 2003 03:26 (twenty-three years ago)

yeah i kill me

― duane, Tuesday, 21 January 2003 05:39 (twenty-three years ago)

um I wasn't using it as an insult & I'm not part of yr sordid diaryland ~~INDYKID SCENESTERISM~~ mafioso, harumph.

― Ess Kay (esskay), Tuesday, 21 January 2003 09:40 (twenty-three years ago)

haha my cultural tourism is v. reprehensible!

― Ess Kay (esskay), Tuesday, 21 January 2003 09:45 (twenty-three years ago)
