The occasional and overwhelming urge to kill everyone around you

Okay. Lucky me - I got to go to the premiere last night for this film. I was quite excited to see a little bit of Canadian arty-ness here in London. The movie was cool.

Then I went to the after-party at this place called Cafe de Paris. A swanky enough venue, albeit in the middle of tourist hell (Leicester Square). There was free wine, beer, canapes, etc. The place was packed with the usual film types, PR types, hangers on (like me), etc etc. The purpose of the party was to have a mini-contest similar to the story in the movie - to determine which country has the "saddest music in the world". A guy I know from Toronto was here repping Canada (Great Lake Swimmers). The band is usually just him and an acoustic guitar. His music is indeed VERY sad. I love his music and thought this would be a great gig for him - his biggest crowd yet.

But then I started to get worried - during the first couple of bands, the noise from crowd chatter was ridiculously loud. And these were fairly loud bands to boot. When our boy came up to play, I feared the worse. He is quite shy and quiet - not exactly the type to yell "SHADDDUP" or anything. The noise got even worse. Hardly anyone around me was paying the slightest bit of attention to the music. A few feeble attempts at "SHHH" helped for a few seconds, then the noise roared again. I looked around at the crowd - drunken socialites with difficult haircuts, wannabe hipsters, tarts, geezers, etc. He was supposed to play 3 songs but gave up after 2 and left the stage. No-one really noticed, although there was some decent token applause when prompted by the host/MC guy. Did they even know what they were applauding?

I WANTED TO KILL THEM ALL.

I realise that these type of events are always filled with chatty cathys and that the free bouze makes this worse. I somehow managed to get used the constant chatter at the bar from music "industry types" at gigs in Toronto. This was bad enough, but last night was unbearable.

Please share your stories of fantasy mass killings.

― Rob Bolton (Rob Bolton), Thursday, 6 May 2004 08:12 (twenty-one years ago)

Café de Paris has been known as the Naff Caff for about twenty years.

― suzy (suzy), Thursday, 6 May 2004 08:19 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes, I think I would have been doing London a great service by engaging in mass homicide.

― Rob Bolton (Rob Bolton), Thursday, 6 May 2004 08:22 (twenty-one years ago)

push out the jive rob

― stevem (blueski), Thursday, 6 May 2004 08:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh, and one of the stars of the film (Mark McKinney - Kids in the Hall guy), introduced him thusly:

"Here's someone representing Canada - Great Lake Singers!"
(someone whispers to him)
"Oh, Great Lake Swimmers - sorry!". Not a good start.

― Rob Bolton (Rob Bolton), Thursday, 6 May 2004 08:24 (twenty-one years ago)

When Elliott Smith supported Belle & Sebastian at the Shepherd's Bush Empire years ago, most of the crowd completely ignored his frail stool/acoustic guitar meanderings and chattered as hard as they could for half an hour. Bastards.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Thursday, 6 May 2004 08:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Well it's music vs context really here. Some music is better appreciated when you're sitting in your room feeling world weary and other music is better suited to aftershow parties, what can you do?

― dog latin (dog latin), Thursday, 6 May 2004 08:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Not play world-weary music at an aftershow party? The whole thing sounds misconceived. If it had been held somewhere like the Union Chapel as opposed to the NAAFI de Paris the atmosphere and audience would probably have been a lot more conducive. But as that would have involved lazy Soho social parasites getting off their subsidised arses and travelling to N1, then probably not.

― Marcello Carlin, Thursday, 6 May 2004 08:53 (twenty-one years ago)

I noticed that, when B&S cover obscure songs that nobody in the crowd has ever heard of at their gigs*, most of the crowd completely ignore that too.

* the one that particularly comes to mind is an Os Mutantes song they did at one of their QMU gigs.

― caitlin (caitlin), Thursday, 6 May 2004 09:00 (twenty-one years ago)

..not just obscure cover songs, sometimes during their own songs! E.g. You Made Me Forget My Dreams w/ just Stuart singing and playing piano at Brixton Academy 2002.

― MarkH (MarkH), Thursday, 6 May 2004 09:40 (twenty-one years ago)

I remember that. Mind you, it WAS a bit ropey.

I have had the urge to kill everyone around me all morning. Luckily all I actually did was snap at a student and then shut myself in the office and cried for 5 minutes.

― Archel (Archel), Thursday, 6 May 2004 11:22 (twenty-one years ago)

That sucks, A. I just had the urge to kill the chap who, instead of standing nice and restfully still in front of me while waiting for the lift at the tube station this morning, just had to jiggle around from one foot to the other every 5 seconds, regular as. Dude, DON'T DO THAT when there's someone 2 inches behind you.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Thursday, 6 May 2004 11:39 (twenty-one years ago)

I've had a decidedly unbarrylike 36 hours, so I don't belong on this thread. Yet.

― Markelby (Mark C), Thursday, 6 May 2004 11:55 (twenty-one years ago)

Aw, can't you be on it just to give me tips on fighting off a) Italians, b) everyone else and c) tears?

― Archel (Archel), Thursday, 6 May 2004 12:03 (twenty-one years ago)

OK, I feel better now. I realise the venue/party was an inappropriate place for this music, what did I expect, etc etc... But I still stand by my justification for wanting to eliminate all the fools who stood around me last night - most of whom probably had no idea (or respect for) what the promoters were trying (and failing) to do.

In the end I got drunk for free and saw some old friends, so not a total loss...

― Rob Bolton (Rob Bolton), Thursday, 6 May 2004 12:09 (twenty-one years ago)

Cafe de Paris? Oh dear, our works Xmas party was there in 2002. About ten minutes in everyone realised our enormous error; I'd anticipated this and tried to 'get lost' en route but couldn't ignore my twittering mobile any longer.

Workmate's hubby is involved in this film's distribution and a few people in the office went to this after-party. I'll ask them about Great Lake Swimmers and see if they need to be culled.

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Thursday, 6 May 2004 12:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Good plan! I doubt they heard anything. We were right at the front and we could barely hear him. Even when the DJ came on the chatter was still quite audible. Maybe it's the acoustics in that room or something.

― Rob Bolton (Rob Bolton), Thursday, 6 May 2004 12:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Sorry - that's too mean. They might be nice people.

Urge to kill.... fading....

― Rob Bolton (Rob Bolton), Thursday, 6 May 2004 12:25 (twenty-one years ago)

Hey, I read poetry in a pub last night and apart from a brief cheer at the mention of horses' cocks, I can't say anyone showed signs of rapt attention... so I relate. That's what you get for holding open mic nights in goth pubs though I suppose.

― Archel (Archel), Thursday, 6 May 2004 12:25 (twenty-one years ago)

Rob, I feel your pain. But it just seems pointless to have live music at events like that -- everyone's all chatty and networky and full of themselves and no one's going to stand still for a musician. Even if it was "the purpose of the party," how many hangers-on looking for free booze and handshake opportunities understand or know or care about that? Acceptable background music for a party like that = the soundtrack, on repeat.

― stockholm cindy (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 6 May 2004 13:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Indeed. They should have just had an after-party bouze/shmooze thing, and if they really wanted to do the sad music/contest thing - it should have been a totally separate event...

― Rob Bolton (Rob Bolton), Thursday, 6 May 2004 13:58 (twenty-one years ago)

He should rebel next time and do what Steel Pole Bathtub did at one concert and play nothing but Black Sabbath's "Paranoid" over and over for 45 minutes until he's pulled off stage with a cane.

― uh (eetface), Thursday, 6 May 2004 14:01 (twenty-one years ago)

I was pretty sure this was either a Luna or Alex in NYC thread. I was wrong.

― Jeann.e F.ury (Jeanne Fury), Thursday, 6 May 2004 14:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Entertaining moment: Bernard Butler's solo gig in LA years ago. Chattering bastards who are noticeably loud are at the back the whole time, where my friend Ben and I are. Bernard's introduction to his final song: "...and this one's for all those cunts back there at the bar." A week later, there was a whining column in BAM from a (I vaguely recall) noticeably loud and chattering attendee at the back complaining about how snotty Bernard was and how cruelly he'd been treated. My sympathy level was low.

(Earlier that evening, Bernard had the drunk guy halfway up front thrown out for being loud and obnoxious to everyone around him. I have to say I liked that too!)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 6 May 2004 14:18 (twenty-one years ago)

You have just described the audience at every Black Cat (Washington, DC) show I have ever attended. F***ing schmoozers.

― j.lu (j.lu), Thursday, 6 May 2004 14:24 (twenty-one years ago)

supposedly Brian Dennehy, during Death of a Salesman, once, was performing on-stage, and this guy kept yakking, yakking, and yakking throughout it. Eventually, Brian committed the cardinal sin of actors and stopped the show, and chastized the guy and told him he was ruining the show for everybody else..and the guy left in a huff, then Dennehy apologized to the audience and picked up the show with no future interruptions.

as a fellow sort-of actor myself, while I think what he did was of course unprofessional, I still like the fact that for once, one of the actors on stage finally told one of the audience members how much of a cunt he was being for talking.

― uh (eetface), Thursday, 6 May 2004 14:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Happened to me too, at the last (ahem) 'gig' I played. Not only did the audience chatter amongst themselves, but one scary looking middle-aged woman came up and started talking to me, mid song. And didn't seem able to hear me when I turned and said "I'm sorry, but I can't talk right now, I'm PLAYING THE FUCKING PIANO".

I have since retired from the music industry.

― JimD (JimD), Thursday, 6 May 2004 14:50 (twenty-one years ago)

Why don't you wimps go out and get a couple of 4X12 cabinets and a seweet Mesa Boogie and rock like a real man?

Would that I were so classy MDC. Nope, it was my singer's mum's christmas party. So, you know, maybe wasn't the best idea in the first place really.

Um...I've just guiltily remembered the time I drunkenly chattered all the way through a Yo La Tengo show and annoyed everyone around me. That was colette's fault though.

― JimD (JimD), Thursday, 6 May 2004 14:57 (twenty-one years ago)

not only chattering, actually kicking each other, as well.

good thing we left early before we were beat up!

― colette (a2lette), Thursday, 6 May 2004 14:59 (twenty-one years ago)

― Barima (Barima), Thursday, 6 May 2004 15:01 (twenty-one years ago)

I have a friend who is a chatty cathy at shows and happens to have a fairly loud voice (worse when she is drunk). I made the mistake once of telling her to hush up during the gig (I could see the sneers from those around us). She got even MORE surly and started hollering at me for being lame, and "who cares, this band sucks anyway" and things of this ilk. I was slightly embarassed before, but this made it much, much worse...

― uh (eetface), Thursday, 6 May 2004 15:04 (twenty-one years ago)

we weren't kicking each other to hurt each other, it was more of a gentle kick from weird angles to try to trick the other person into thinking it was a stranger.

sadly, we weren't drunk.

rob, was this person canadian? i went to the movies with a canadian guy that wouldn't shut up and got even louder when i told him he should shut the fuck up...(i like making sweeping generalizations)

― colette (a2lette), Thursday, 6 May 2004 15:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes - she's Canadian. Great fun to go out partying with, but she's definitely off my guest list for going to gigs with...

― Rob Bolton (Rob Bolton), Thursday, 6 May 2004 15:08 (twenty-one years ago)

yay. sweeping generalizations ahoy!

― colette (a2lette), Thursday, 6 May 2004 15:09 (twenty-one years ago)

People talked a lot during Low at the Garage. I sort of avoid shows where you can't sit down and be civilised these days. Standing does people no good, and generally brings out the worst in them.

― jel -- (jel), Thursday, 6 May 2004 15:09 (twenty-one years ago)

― JimD (JimD), Thursday, 6 May 2004 15:13 (twenty-one years ago)

At a B&S show a few years ago this asshole was singing loudly through every song (partly the bands fault for insisting on playing so quietly - never did understand that), and I told him to shut up three or four times. Towards the end of their set, I had to go to the loo, and when I came back the cunt had made a move on my girlfriend!!

(I HATE people talking loudly during band sets, but at a party where the musician(s) were incidental, I really can't imagine blaming anyone, sorry)

― Markelby (Mark C), Thursday, 6 May 2004 15:16 (twenty-one years ago)

I think I've told so often the tale of JtN and I taking different approaches to shush a B&S singalong buffoon at that Shepherd's Bush show that, last time I checked, I'd embellished it to the point where JtN reads him a peace poem and I throw acid in his face.

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Thursday, 6 May 2004 15:20 (twenty-one years ago)

(x-post to markelby)

b-b-but they were NOT incidental! if you saw the invite, this was the entire point of the event. they just made the mistake of padding the venue with people totally unconnected to the film. (i actually ran into my flatmate's gf their, who just showed up with some PR friends - "so what's going on here then?" she asked). clearly the guest list was throw out the window very early on...

Aside from my circle of best friends in Orange County (CA), one of the reasons I finally left Orange County was because I was getting affected by said desire to occasionally yet overwhelming be urged to kill everyone around me.

There are people who quality like that in Seattle, but they only hang out in, like, three bars total in the city, so they can easily be avoided. It's one of the reasons I like it here... rarely do I remember having said urge since I moved here (not even so much when I was working at M__s__ft, but some days got close)

Look, I'm no fool. I've been to enough "functions" to know the score. But it's not like this was the premiere for a Tom Cruise flick or anything. I'm just bummed that they went to all this effort to stage this music thing, promoted it as such, and no-one paid the slightest bit of notice. Of course I expected it to be a typical shmooze-fest, but the noise really was staggering - louder and more obnoxious than any other "after-party" I've ever been to. Just more concrete proof that people are wankers.

I don't think it's a mood-thing for me. I can be in the cheeriest emotional place imaginable, but if I see someone behaving in a manner that I find inconsiderate and/or idiotic, I instantly wish some very serious ill-will on them (not that that's not inconsiderate or idiotic either, but at least I'm usually keeping it to myself....usually)...whether it's someone yappin on their fuckin' cell phone too loudly or paying no heed to umbella etiquette (these are the only two eyes I have and one is already fucked up. If you don't watch where you're sprinting with your needlessly massive, circus-tent-sized umbrella, I may lose one, and then I'll have to ritualistically slay you, burn your pulverized corpse, and spread your ashes on unhallowed ground).

Nicole's vision is a good and right one. And then I came to work. (Some bus drivers should die, though.)

Alex's vision, while good and right, requires active caring about all fools. I find it more expedient to care about some fools instead.

Umbrella etiquette! So effin' easy, so rarely practised. But these are the same people who stand in the middle of the sidewalk on a crowded street at lunchtime babbling vacuously and blithe to the hurried flow of humanity all around them. These are the pedestrians who cross on the green/don't walk sign and fuck up the right turn car traffic which screws up the intersection a block back screwing the peds access there. And the original ped is all, "Fuckin' Car Drivin' Scum!" These are the car drivers who terrorize peds by creeping through intersections with their heads down looking for a pen to write down the no. someone is telling them on their cell phone while they steady the car with their knees. These are the bike messagers who weave crazily amidst traffic at insane speeds. These are the skaters whose boards, when they lose them, come careening down our hills like torpedoes aimed at your ankles. These are the myriad brain-dead, bipedal, future fertilizer bags that I put up with every day, and you're telling me I can't even kill off a few just to blow off steam.

if people are annoying me i don't want to see them hurt, i just want them to be removed from my presence

Y'see, for me....that's not enough! They must be punished for their idiocy in the hopes that possibly, they'll know better next time.
