Remember! Forget about the sugar Friday 12 August involves Dancing

Bookmark Removed

So yes, I would have said WE'RE BACK, but actually this is the FIRST ONE, EVER.

Forget about the sugar: the electro/pop/r&b dancing night that will sure make your medicine go down. ooh yeah. Dancing from the early hour of 8pm til the early hours of 1am.

it happens at The Enterprise bar, opposite to Chalk Farm tube station. Bus 168 will take you right outside, or a pleasant walk from Camden Town over the canal.

we may play some of these things.
ANNIE / GIRLS ALOUD / ST ETIENNE / AMERIE / GOLDFRAPP / VITALIC / M.I.A. / MISSY ELLIOTT / BASEMENT JAXX / PET SHOP BOYS / GWEN STEFANI / STEREOLAB / POSTAL SERVICE / GO! TEAM / and more

I'm particularly looking forward to playing something off the new record by "and more". Indeed.

Would be lovely to see you there.

(Probably shoulda revived the old one anyway)

It should be noted that if I can still DJ, I'll be playing none of the above, and am planning on ending with a track with the oddest, most unwelcome mid-tune break ever. Ha.

― BARMS, Monday, 25 July 2005 11:07 (twenty years ago)

oh, you're an and more fan too?

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 25 July 2005 11:08 (twenty years ago)

I am looking forward to this again!

― The Lex (The Lex), Monday, 25 July 2005 18:10 (twenty years ago)

annie? hmmm
I'LL BE THERE!
further incentive for the rest of you, i'm sure
yay dancing! yay ken ass! yay yay yay!

― Leon C. (Ex Leon), Monday, 25 July 2005 18:13 (twenty years ago)

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 1 August 2005 14:52 (twenty years ago)

fu fu fu fu da funk.

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 1 August 2005 14:52 (twenty years ago)

― dahlin (dahlin), Monday, 1 August 2005 15:01 (twenty years ago)

Is "Bad Bad Man" back on the playlist or not?

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Monday, 1 August 2005 15:03 (twenty years ago)

only if you're coming dom! "just another day" perhaps.

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 1 August 2005 15:03 (twenty years ago)

I *might* make it. "Just Another Day" would definitely be a positive for me, it really makes me stop and think how hard mutlti-millionaires have it.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Monday, 1 August 2005 15:05 (twenty years ago)

I desperately hope you're not talking about Jon Secada here.

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Monday, 1 August 2005 15:09 (twenty years ago)

it's not about him, it's about the CHAIN GANG dawg.

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 1 August 2005 15:11 (twenty years ago)

Sociah, if you talk like that, I may have to clean your plate, but I ain't a busboy.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Monday, 1 August 2005 15:14 (twenty years ago)

he gonna wash yo mouth like colgate

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 1 August 2005 15:17 (twenty years ago)

Not Double-Oh-Seven, but we "Die another day", what?

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Monday, 1 August 2005 17:20 (twenty years ago)

i'm 007

play Zdar ft Tiga 'Don't U Want' AH GAWAN

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Wednesday, 3 August 2005 07:41 (twenty years ago)

Stevem I was actually intending to play JUST THAT SONG!

― The Lex (The Lex), Wednesday, 3 August 2005 07:55 (twenty years ago)

and I didn't know that was Tiga!

― The Lex (The Lex), Wednesday, 3 August 2005 07:55 (twenty years ago)

i love you (not in the Craig way)

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Wednesday, 3 August 2005 07:57 (twenty years ago)

Mannionz prefers KenChu (dongs).

Wonder if we could get the Manc massive to come along, by way of apology.

― BARMS, Wednesday, 3 August 2005 09:59 (twenty years ago)

What, Lex, you were only going to play that song, in the manner of Norman Greenbaum doing 40-minute versions of "Spirit In The Sky" on stage (and then coming back for a 15-minute encore of "Spirit In The Sky")?

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Wednesday, 3 August 2005 10:03 (twenty years ago)

a 40-minute 'Don't U Want' would be so good!

― The Lex (The Lex), Wednesday, 3 August 2005 10:06 (twenty years ago)

this would also mean you could stay on the dancefloor.

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Wednesday, 3 August 2005 10:10 (twenty years ago)

i'll be turning the dj booth into the dancefloor

― The Lex (The Lex), Wednesday, 3 August 2005 10:23 (twenty years ago)

I'll be turning the dancefloor into a Nando's.

― BARMS, Wednesday, 3 August 2005 10:56 (twenty years ago)

I'll be turning Nando's into a distressed tanning salon.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Wednesday, 3 August 2005 10:58 (twenty years ago)

Alex, be careful dancing in the dj booth. Your CDs will skip.

― marianna lcl (marianna lcl), Wednesday, 3 August 2005 11:03 (twenty years ago)

As part of the Manc massive I sadly say I can't come along but this looks proper grand and will hopefully help to kick off a big smart dance-pop clubscene across the UK, so all the best with it and I'll head down in the future sometime. (also, my mate Stewart recently moved to London and his new night is on Weds 31st August at Madame JoJos. It's called Contact and it's an 'International Pop' night, Pay TV are playing. I'm heading down for that Weds night so it'd be good to see some of you lot there - I'll start a thread about it nearer the time)

― Affectian (Affectian), Wednesday, 3 August 2005 11:05 (twenty years ago)

Isn't the flyer pretty?

Alex, be careful dancing in the dj booth. Your CDs will skip.

Decks need to be on paving slabs on car inner tubes mounted in a bed of sand.

― Ed (dali), Friday, 5 August 2005 21:05 (twenty years ago)

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 8 August 2005 07:04 (twenty years ago)

Hmmm, I think I might come along as well.

― robster (robster), Monday, 8 August 2005 07:06 (twenty years ago)

both kingfish and leon c. can come celebrate their birthdays from afar, listen to great music ~~and then make out at the end of the evening~~

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 8 August 2005 07:18 (twenty years ago)

i'm playing 14 belle and sebastian songs back to back.

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 15 August 2005 14:40 (twenty years ago)

Interesting sales technique you have.

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Monday, 15 August 2005 14:43 (twenty years ago)

it's all just lies to get martin skidmore to come.

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 15 August 2005 14:44 (twenty years ago)

You have odd ideas about how to make anyone come, Ken. Did you mean as in turn up, or orgasm? B&S is the worst way, for both.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Monday, 15 August 2005 16:17 (twenty years ago)

And just when Ken was thinking himself attractive too, Martin.

― BARMS, Monday, 15 August 2005 16:20 (twenty years ago)

flattery will get you anywhere barms

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 15 August 2005 16:21 (twenty years ago)

Well obviously Ken is gorgeous, but you'd have to be even more attractive than Ken, if such can be imagined, to get away with playing nothing but dismal indie records.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Monday, 15 August 2005 16:22 (twenty years ago)

that's no way to talk about your favourite band martin

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 15 August 2005 16:23 (twenty years ago)

Oh I am jealous! It looks like a fantastic time and I haven't been dancing in a dog's age. It's shades of Bowlie-style fellowship, shades of every good indie night ever. Of especial note are all the good shirts/tops on display, Mr Nonchalant Afro at the booth, Carsmile (Steve, you don't look a single bit different than you did when we met years ago -- was Meg there, too?), and, Marianna, who's the feline-faced brunette at your side? She's adorable. Overall, my cockles are appropriately warmed.

― Laurel, Monday, 15 August 2005 16:29 (twenty years ago)

i'm loving the indie reputation that this night is receiving!

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 15 August 2005 16:31 (twenty years ago)

especially since it WASN'T INDIE AT ALL!
i feel cheated

― dahlin (dahlin), Monday, 15 August 2005 16:34 (twenty years ago)

Ach well, maybe I'm transferring my desire for a decent indie night onto your oh-so-indie-looking photographic selves. I have a girlfriend who should, by rights, throw fantastic indie dances but who actually prefers top 40 teen hits and hip-hop and I am always so disappointed that I resolve not to go to her parties any more. But then I do.

― Laurel, Monday, 15 August 2005 16:40 (twenty years ago)

Mr Nonchalant Afro at the booth

HI DERE (but for "nonchalant", read "a bit distant").

"Feline Face" goes by the name of ~~Disco Dave~~ Katey.

― BARMS, Monday, 15 August 2005 16:40 (twenty years ago)

Actually, Laurel, some of the mooted names in my next set include Blur, Neil & Iraiza, Soulwax, Junior Senior, Fighstar, The Smiths, The Killers, Yellowcard, The Sunshine Underground and that indie-rock single by Mousse T.

― BARMS, Monday, 15 August 2005 16:43 (twenty years ago)

Someone (Ken C?) played Delays and The Aisler Set.

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo indie.

― Mrs. Cranky (From Crankytown) (kate), Monday, 15 August 2005 16:48 (twenty years ago)

ooohh yes that was the pre-dancing part of the night (and thus most enjoyable bit of all for music)! 8:15-8:45 is where it's at

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 15 August 2005 16:50 (twenty years ago)

Were it not for the wanting to throw myself out the window, that would have been the best bit for me. ;-)

― Mrs. Cranky (From Crankytown) (kate), Monday, 15 August 2005 16:56 (twenty years ago)

well i almost jumped with you so there you go!

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 15 August 2005 16:58 (twenty years ago)

Barmia, does mooted = "already ruled out"? Or as in, "it's a moot point, OBV I will play them"?

― Laurel, Monday, 15 August 2005 17:02 (twenty years ago)

Barima, does mooted = "already ruled out"? Or as in, "it's a moot point, OBV I will play them"?

(I may not have stopped this in time to avoid double-posting. To save you all the trouble, it's because i typoed as "Barmia". Sorry!

― Laurel, Monday, 15 August 2005 17:03 (twenty years ago)

Oh, I'm definitely going with the latter.

― BARMS, Monday, 15 August 2005 17:08 (twenty years ago)

haha, Ken thinks calling someone a B&S fan is an insult!

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Monday, 15 August 2005 17:13 (twenty years ago)

aw i didn't mean to insult you!!

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 15 August 2005 17:27 (twenty years ago)

i think they're great actually so it's quite alright for you to be a fan

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 15 August 2005 17:28 (twenty years ago)

Laurel - yes that's Katey of 'Marianna, you and I are starting a club' fame. She's my partner in crime whenever dancing, cute-boy stalking or bitchfest sessions are in order. Which is most days.

As for the next Forget About The Sugar - we really want to have one in October but are currently having a CRISIS about the venue. As in, we need to find a new one, pronto.

― marianna lcl (marianna lcl), Monday, 15 August 2005 18:14 (twenty years ago)

aww, i liked that venue a lot - why can't you stay there? excellent wobbly dancefloor thrills.

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Monday, 15 August 2005 20:02 (twenty years ago)

only problem was the heat towards the end - but then again in october it won't even be so hot

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 15 August 2005 20:42 (twenty years ago)

It's not to do with the heat, it's to do with the fact that every Friday and Saturday night from now until the end of time has been booked by a comedy troupe. :(

― marianna lcl (marianna lcl), Monday, 15 August 2005 21:02 (twenty years ago)

But I thought you didn't get it booked!

Ba-dum tish, thank you, I'll be here all week.

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 15 August 2005 21:08 (twenty years ago)

Ow. OW! My sides.

― marianna lcl (marianna lcl), Monday, 15 August 2005 21:09 (twenty years ago)

so we'll be seeing you on saturdays then ailsa?

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 15 August 2005 21:14 (twenty years ago)

OH FUCK.

― everyone has aibds, Monday, 15 August 2005 22:30 (twenty years ago)

you could probably arrange something with smersh... or is that too small

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 11:32 (twenty years ago)

I love, love, love smersh. But I don't think it would work as a venue for us :(

― marianna lcl (marianna lcl), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 19:15 (twenty years ago)

Last night the non-attending Shimuras were all "Ohmigod, it looked like such fun, we wanna go, we wanna goooooo!" and the Shimuras In Attendendce were all "ha ha, suckers!"

Anyway, yes, do it again, and they promise that we will all turn up. :-)

― Mrs. Cranky (From Crankytown) (kate), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 06:37 (twenty years ago)

Ha!

If Barima and I are going to dance for you, you have to dance for us too.

― The Lex (The Lex), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 09:02 (twenty years ago)

We were actually discussing your mad dancing skillz last night. ;-)

― Win A Lie-Down, Mrs. Davies (kate), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 09:03 (twenty years ago)

(Our manager asked us "so, what exactly do you want!" so we all started shouting "Sex! groupies! drugs! dancing boys!!!!" So, erm, one out of four ain't bad...)

― Win A Lie-Down, Mrs. Davies (kate), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 09:04 (twenty years ago)

There's a chance we'll have to move it to a Thursday. Would y'all come if it was on a Thursday?

― marianna lcl (marianna lcl), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 11:28 (twenty years ago)

Yes! Thursdays are better, less chance of double bookings.

― JimD (JimD), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 11:30 (twenty years ago)

I wouldn't be able to make it :(

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 11:31 (twenty years ago)

Thursdays are the new Fridays!

― robster (robster), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 11:32 (twenty years ago)

:( I WANT MATT DC TO BE ABLE TO COME!

― marianna lcl (marianna lcl), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 11:33 (twenty years ago)

Make it Monday - you guys could totally take Trash on.

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 11:36 (twenty years ago)

I hate that photo of me. Mark looks all dashing and I look like I should be selling cheese by the roadside in Norwich.

I had a great time BTW. Sugar not forgotten.

― Anna (Anna), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 13:30 (twenty years ago)

Well, it's over 100 posts ago, so most people can't even see it unless you remind them of it.

PS: you're crazy, you look great as per. Perhaps a little exerted. Had there been dancing in the vicinity?

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 14:03 (twenty years ago)

Dashing? Maybe if you mean "dashing to the plastic surgeon for a face-lift and an eye-tuck" (but thanks!)

― Markelby (Mark C), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 14:11 (twenty years ago)

Anna and Mark, I call bullshit on all this bashful talk. Bullshit has just called back to say you two have the sexiest photo on the thread. And that he supposes Thursday Sugars would be OK.

― BARMS, Wednesday, 17 August 2005 16:51 (twenty years ago)

Dude, I told you to keep hush about the sexy part!

― bullshit (nabisco), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 17:10 (twenty years ago)

It's cool, man, Mark's anybody's after 2 drinks.
