Anyway, onimo and I are at the Dirty Three ATP this month. Anyone else?

hi dere

+ colette and jimd

― ledge, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 12:04 (eighteen years ago)

Then to repeat the success of Christmas, I propose HotShots again lunchtime Saturday. Under the back-to-front telly.

I am going to play that football card game this year, if it's still there.

― aldo, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 12:09 (eighteen years ago)

We are Butlins virgins, where might this telly be located?

― ledge, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 12:16 (eighteen years ago)

anyone going to the second weekend?

― ken c, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 12:17 (eighteen years ago)

When you go into HotShots the pool tables are on the right hand side, the bar on the left and the GOTH BOWLING up the back. There are two screens above the bar, one of which shows a reversed picture (for some reason we couldn't quite work out). HotShots is in the main building.

― aldo, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 12:19 (eighteen years ago)

ken c, yes.

ledge & jimd attending = awesomes!

Hotshots 4tw!

― g-kit, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 12:38 (eighteen years ago)

I may now bring PS2 due to abundance of ILG repra-zentatives

― g-kit, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 12:41 (eighteen years ago)

I still want to go. I am now appealing for magic of teh interwebs to find me a ticket. I am lovely, and don't believe aldo if he tells you I get drunked and throw red wine over swish'n'swanky iPods because I don't do that at all, oh noes, not me. I'm crap at GOTH BOWLING, so you can point and laugh at me.

(Al, Hotshots will not work because no fucker's going to get out of their beds for 12 o'clock after LETHAL DEATH CIDER)

― ailsa, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 12:45 (eighteen years ago)

I was half thinking about doing that too for drunken SingStar in chalet. (The PS2 that is, not throwing red wine about.)

LETHAL DEATH CIDER may still feature. For those that are not aware and are driving, you pass a cider farm about 3 miles before Minehead. Under £10 a gallon.

― aldo, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 12:47 (eighteen years ago)

:'( NO MONIES.

― Colonel Poo, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 12:48 (eighteen years ago)

Aldo was ubertrooper at xmas and made it just after 12 with stories detailing why nobody else was going to make it. Ergo, he was HERO of the weekend, in my eyes. Then he had a pint. GG!

and aye, ps2 is all about singstar & GH. no other games will attend.

― g-kit, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 12:50 (eighteen years ago)

hi dere how will we know which telly is backwards?

― onimo, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 12:52 (eighteen years ago)

surely also Katamari

― ken c, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 12:53 (eighteen years ago)

is there a dance machine in teh arcade?

― onimo, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 12:54 (eighteen years ago)

I dunno... ken, are you in the arcade?

― g-kit, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 12:54 (eighteen years ago)

He had a pint of Guinness with LIME in it = he is more menk than ubertrooper.

(stories = aldo made us all drink LETHAL DEATH CIDER, except me, I am just crap)

xxxxpost, G, it's the one that reading the league tables makes most sense on.

xpost - there is. There's a DRUMMING THING too.

― ailsa, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 12:55 (eighteen years ago)

xxxxpost, G, it's the one that reading the league tables makes most sense on.

Ah, I was thinking we'd have to wait for something starring Cindy Crawford.

― onimo, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 12:56 (eighteen years ago)

there was a dance machine in the camber sands arcades... never been to minehead!

can someone phone up and find out? (also which version)

i have been offered a space for ATP2 but still don't know if i wanna take it yet.. will you guys be having chalet parties every night? Ours will be crapy room only places with no lounge :((((((

― ken c, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 12:56 (eighteen years ago)

On backwards TV, sponsor boards advertise unfamiliar products.

― g-kit, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 12:57 (eighteen years ago)

I think the dance machine is Euromix 2.

― aldo, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 12:59 (eighteen years ago)

That guiness with lime in it wasn't that bad really. I think had 2 of those.

― Colonel Poo, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 14:03 (eighteen years ago)

I'd forgotten about the lime fiasco. It was pretty good. I forgotted how many I had.

― g-kit, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 14:24 (eighteen years ago)

I know pubs where putting lime in guinness would get you thrown out.

― onimo, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 14:26 (eighteen years ago)

Me too.

Me and Mister Monkey are coming to ATP, but our tickets haven't been posted out yet, which is making me concerned.

― accentmonkey, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 14:29 (eighteen years ago)

Ours neither. Also haven't hired a car yet.

― ledge, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 14:31 (eighteen years ago)

Tickets being late is ATP tradition.

― onimo, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 14:32 (eighteen years ago)

Foundation reckon they're sending them out to the ticket sellers this week, which is possibly the earliest they've done so. (Note, not the earliest they have claimed to have done so.) Well over 2 weeks before you might want to think about being concerned.

― aldo, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 14:33 (eighteen years ago)

Aye, I hadn't even given it a thought.

― g-kit, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 14:33 (eighteen years ago)

I know, but I have to book flights. I haven't bought ATP tickets in so long, I've forgotten what happens. I am apprehensive.

― accentmonkey, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 14:34 (eighteen years ago)

if any kindly ILx-ers (and yes i insist on this kindness) are considering the Dirty 3 ATP, we are looking for one more person to fill out a noncatered 4-berth chalet. write me at s✧✧✧@saidthegramoph✧✧✧.c✧✧ asap. thank you!

― sean gramophone, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 15:13 (eighteen years ago)

i dunno about throwing out, but lime in a guinness would make me throw up.

― ken c, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 15:48 (eighteen years ago)

Sean, I'm thinking about it seriously. Are you all boys? Do you mind that I am a gurl?

― ailsa, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 15:52 (eighteen years ago)

(I am kinda kindly, and I promise not to throw wine on yr iPod)

― ailsa, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 18:01 (eighteen years ago)

hi ailsa. we're 2 boys (both canadians, so we're pretty sissy boys), and one australian girl. drop me a note if you decide you're game.

― sean gramophone, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 21:21 (eighteen years ago)

go on, ailsa! it'll be fun.

(not that i'm going. i just think you should.)

― grimly fiendish, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 21:57 (eighteen years ago)

I have to convince Neil to let me go. I really really want to. Just for Einsturzende Neubaten and GOTH BOWLING.

― ailsa, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 22:07 (eighteen years ago)

We'll mind you.

― accentmonkey, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 22:13 (eighteen years ago)

Perhaps you could drop the words "non-stop WoW weekender" into your argument, ailsa?

― g-kit, Wednesday, 4 April 2007 07:30 (eighteen years ago)

I would have all this Neubauten and GOTH BOWLING pls sounds fun. Stupid being in australianess.

― Trayce, Wednesday, 4 April 2007 09:23 (eighteen years ago)

Quit it then. U R master of yr own destiny & shit.

I just remembered Andrew calling me "goth curious" at Dec ATP. A phrase I've held close to my heart ever since, but have not had the opportunity to use.

― g-kit, Wednesday, 4 April 2007 09:28 (eighteen years ago)

I don't think I've been bowling since ATP. I'm supposed to be going to Rowans in Finsbury Park sometime soon, but it won't be the same without Bela Lugosi's Dead.

― Colonel Poo, Wednesday, 4 April 2007 09:52 (eighteen years ago)

goth curious

I have been known to describe myself as a wannabe ex-goth - i.e. I wish I'd indulged my gothic tendencies a little more when younger.

― ledge, Wednesday, 4 April 2007 10:22 (eighteen years ago)

goth bowling intrigues me...

― ledge, Wednesday, 4 April 2007 10:24 (eighteen years ago)

I'm a goth sympathiser

― ken c, Wednesday, 4 April 2007 16:55 (eighteen years ago)

or perhaps just an apologist

― ken c, Wednesday, 4 April 2007 16:55 (eighteen years ago)

It's like real bowling, but with Bauhaus playing in the background.

(the gothness was kind of ruined by them also playing the soundtrack to Bugsy Malone).

Perhaps you could drop the words "non-stop WoW weekender" into your argument, ailsa?

g-kit for teh win!

― ailsa, Wednesday, 4 April 2007 16:56 (eighteen years ago)

Just remember, the phrase is "goldfarmer" and not cockfarmer.

― aldo, Thursday, 5 April 2007 08:30 (eighteen years ago)

That I considered punching him for being slightly rude to Mrs O indicates that I may have been almost as drunk as him, though at least I was able to occasionally walk away from the bar rather than use it to hold myself up.

― onimo, Tuesday, 1 May 2007 13:10 (eighteen years ago)

I totally spotted teh_kit! But I said nothing as didn't think he'd know who I was. *sobs*

(I also met Alan Sparhawk who was amazingly lovely and friendly and awww wubblesome, took a picture but I haven't installed my camera software yet.)

― emil.y, Tuesday, 1 May 2007 15:29 (eighteen years ago)

b-b-but how can you be sure it was me?
aw, you should've said hi! i remember anybody with a dot in their name...

― g-kit, Tuesday, 1 May 2007 15:37 (eighteen years ago)

If I wasn't consumed with intense jealousy before, the Joe Mangel thing has just finished me off totally.

― ailsa, Tuesday, 1 May 2007 15:43 (eighteen years ago)

my friend was in the chalet opposite him, and says that because he saw it so often, he now has an image of a shirtless, sunbathing j03 m4ng13 burnt onto his retina.

― g-kit, Tuesday, 1 May 2007 15:45 (eighteen years ago)

whereas i see singstar when i close my eyes.

― g-kit, Tuesday, 1 May 2007 15:45 (eighteen years ago)

I'm still singing Erasure's "Respect" in my head (with exaggerated comedy Scottish accent and rrrrrrrolling rrrrrrrrs).

― onimo, Tuesday, 1 May 2007 15:58 (eighteen years ago)

Snow Patrol in a bogtrotter accent was good as well.

― aldo, Tuesday, 1 May 2007 16:58 (eighteen years ago)

And I have just remembered "Fuck me, it's like Arab Strap playing in your front room."

― aldo, Tuesday, 1 May 2007 20:54 (eighteen years ago)

And that someone (Jim?) thought I had written a (several?) songs by James Kochalka. I must be sobering up.

― aldo, Tuesday, 1 May 2007 21:47 (eighteen years ago)

who's going to ATP2?

who wants to go?

― ken c, Tuesday, 1 May 2007 21:57 (eighteen years ago)

i hear there's karaoke at ATP2 unlike ATP1

― ken c, Tuesday, 1 May 2007 21:58 (eighteen years ago)

i'm there.

― g-kit, Tuesday, 1 May 2007 22:08 (eighteen years ago)

wrt finally sobering up, Captain Morgan should be nicknamed kittens' ruin.

― g-kit, Tuesday, 1 May 2007 22:09 (eighteen years ago)

i hear there's karaoke at ATP2 unlike ATP1

-- ken c, Tuesday, 1 May 2007 21:58 (18 minutes ago)

You heared SUNDAY NIGHT RUIN wrong.

― aldo, Tuesday, 1 May 2007 22:18 (eighteen years ago)

Actually it was definitely Joe M*ngle; he was off his face most of the time

Hahah HOLY SHIT, awesome onimo! I saw him in the bottle shop round the corner from my house a year or 2 back and he looked wasted and shambling then and that was early evening! Apparently the reason he left the show was some dodgy "being kicked out for losing plot" reason. POor bastard.

― Trayce, Tuesday, 1 May 2007 22:27 (eighteen years ago)

who's going to ATP2?

― ken c, Saturday, 5 May 2007 17:05 (eighteen years ago)

I wished I was and then Xiu Xiu aren't playing after all so I'm alright with that although I'd go if I could afford it and circumstances permitted but hey at the end of the day wtf have a good one kids

― Mister Craig, Saturday, 5 May 2007 23:10 (eighteen years ago)

So I remembered I'd shot some cheap crappy video on my camera - here's some of Grinderman, filmed whilst moshing so yeah it's all over the place:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=EhIUTvLILsQ

There's also 30 seconds of onimo and aldo doing a little respect on singstar but I thought I'd better check with them before making it public, perhaps the world is not yet ready..

― ledge, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 09:54 (eighteen years ago)

I suspect the world is not ready, but WHAT THE HELL, I AM.

― aldo, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 10:04 (eighteen years ago)

Oh yes. I think you guys should release that version as some sort of charity single.

― accentmonkey, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 10:35 (eighteen years ago)

i'd buy it.

― g-kit, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 10:42 (eighteen years ago)

ok, i wouldn't. but i'd pick it up in HMV and look at the box.

― g-kit, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 10:42 (eighteen years ago)

We need the chalet reaction to "Like a king's penis" for completeness.

― aldo, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 10:51 (eighteen years ago)

WHAT THE HELL, I AM.

Aye, go for it. I think.

― onimo, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 11:18 (eighteen years ago)

Ok I'll put it up this evening. The names will be changed to protect the innocent.

― ledge, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 11:28 (eighteen years ago)

I'm not sure I was present for this 'performance'.

― g-kit, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 11:30 (eighteen years ago)

I'm not sure I was entirely present tbh

― onimo, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 11:55 (eighteen years ago)

It was a bit before you arrived, g-kit. We could hear them singing it as we approached TEH MURDER CHALET and they were in full swing by the time we got there.

"Like a king's penis" is still one of the funniest things I've ever heard. I'll be very disappointed if I discover you didn't make it up, Aldo, so don't ever tell me.

― accentmonkey, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 11:57 (eighteen years ago)

I don't recall anything about king's penises, pls explain?

Here is weegie erasure:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=qkb38fgXUB0

― ledge, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 08:23 (eighteen years ago)

It was while the boys were singing "I've never been to me" (or whatever it's called). There is the line "I've been undressed by kings, and I've seen some things that a woman ain't s'posed to see", after which Aldo added (totally in tune, of course) "like a king's penis".

Some of us thought this was very funny.

― accentmonkey, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 09:04 (eighteen years ago)

Best version of an Erasure song ever.

― accentmonkey, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 09:06 (eighteen years ago)

Blimey! That is much more in tune than I remember it. Nice one aldo and onimo (and ledge for capturing it for posterity.)

Is it me or does accentmonkey not quite believe what she is hearing/seeing?

(btw, every time I watch that clip, my PC crashes. I think the two may be connected.)

― Guilty_Boksen, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 10:42 (eighteen years ago)

I guess I just never realised the awesome power of Singstar before then.

― accentmonkey, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 11:03 (eighteen years ago)

will this happen again at ATP2?

― ken c, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 11:10 (eighteen years ago)

does someone say "jaysus" at the end of that truly fantastic clip?

if so, i maybe can't blame them :)

i'm going to have that stuck in my head all day. and not in a good way.

but yeh, er, "respect" due.

― grimly fiendish, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 11:10 (eighteen years ago)

Oh man. So drunk. Aldo seems to be louder than me, for which I'm eternally grateful.

will this happen again at ATP2?

You'll have to find to two other drunken morons.

― onimo, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 11:16 (eighteen years ago)

Is it just teh g-kit and ken c from here going to the second weekend? I've been offered a ticket in the past couple of days and I'm feeling the pretty tempted, despite the line-up being somewhat indie compared to the hardcore blowout that was ThurstonATP. I mean I'm thinking it might actually be a bit more relaxing and like a holiday!

― myopic_void, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 11:34 (eighteen years ago)

does someone say "jaysus" at the end of that truly fantastic clip?

That'd be Mister M. He was a little... stunned by the whole event, bless him.

― accentmonkey, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 11:59 (eighteen years ago)

OMG OMG OMG.

― ailsa, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 16:53 (eighteen years ago)

How was the second one?

I have a few photos of bands in this flickr set, and more importantly, pictures of me and Alan Sparhawk, hussar.

― emil.y, Friday, 11 May 2007 10:09 (eighteen years ago)

Wait, is the second one this weekend, or was it last? Er.

― emil.y, Friday, 11 May 2007 10:10 (eighteen years ago)

God, I've lost all conception of time. Help me.

― emil.y, Friday, 11 May 2007 10:11 (eighteen years ago)

neither, it's next weekend.

― g-kit, Friday, 11 May 2007 10:34 (eighteen years ago)

hey emil.y, i just looked at your atp pics... you know t0m c00g4n?
i don't know him, but i was like hueg h1r4m3k4 h1-f1 fan.

― g-kit, Friday, 11 May 2007 10:58 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah, Tom's lovely. I'm actually in a band with him at the moment, although being sunk under a million words of essays and exams I'm being somewhat flaky about the whole thing.

You should come along to the Gringo Records 10th Anniversary gig. HH-F are reforming! Some info:

(sorry if anyone thinks this is spamming, but it's not like I'm playing or putting it on or anything.)

― emil.y, Friday, 11 May 2007 12:18 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah, totally. I'd love to see the hi-fi again, but Notts is a hell of a long way from Essex for a gig. Proud Tradition is still one of my favourite albums.

― g-kit, Friday, 11 May 2007 12:21 (eighteen years ago)

It's a saturday: go to gig, get drunk, have much fun, stay over in Notts, look at a windmill, have sunday lunch, possibly get drunk again, head home. Voila.

― emil.y, Friday, 11 May 2007 12:24 (eighteen years ago)

alas, i'm not intrepid enough to do that. are they reforming for this gig only, or are they gonna stay together?

― g-kit, Friday, 11 May 2007 12:28 (eighteen years ago)

I think it's a one-time thing. What about Mrs teh_kit, couldn't she come along and make you be brave? We're not all crack-addicted gang-whores in Nottingham, you know.

― emil.y, Friday, 11 May 2007 12:30 (eighteen years ago)
