POLL: Please choose the worst song played by Simon Price at the last "Stay Beautiful" club night

Also, use this thread to talk about the fact that glitterkids are still a feasible social group in 2008.

I suppose it's what happens when dudes who want to be on that new burlesque tip discover that they have no dress sense.

Is Manic Street Preachers – “Umbrella” from Jo Whiley's acoustic live lounge or whatever it's called? That.

Look out for equivalent OTF thread on Club Poptimism in the near future.

Club Poptimism would do well to have a playlist like that, in fact.

The worst one is probably the Pipettes - a decent song before Mr 1983 Producer squeezed all the life out of it.

I can't choose, because there are three manic street preachers tracks.

Why did you go to this event, Dom? It doesn't sound like a whole lot of fun to me.

Of course I didn't fucking go to this event Pash.

I know you think lowly of me, but surely not _that_ low?

haven't heard Manics 'Umbrella' but it is obvious winner. most of the other songs are great.

VIDEO EXCLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSIVE:

I had this mental image of you noting down the tracks played, while scowling at the "beautiful people". I guess you must have pulled the playlist off their website :(

Well, presumably not, if this is his last club night!

Anyroad, I will always hate "Total Eclips" no matter what it's up against, pretty much.

Best rock drumbeat of the 90s, right?

babies innit

About half to two-thirds of these are okay songs but put together it is THE MOST BORING PLAYLIST OF ALL TIME.

I am assuming Placebo's version of Daddy Cool is the worst thing here. Actually Marilyn Manson is probably the worst thing here but I'm never going to hear it so I don't care enough to vote for it.

Don't know half of these but hard to imagine much being shittier than the Pipettes. The use of the Muppets song is way shitty but not the song itself.

MOBSCENE something something OBSCENE something something FIGHT SCENE

Anyroad, I will always hate "Total Eclipse" no matter what it's up against, pretty much.

my office tomorrow 9 am sharp

Having watched (a bit of) the youtube clip, I voted for "umbrella". What a useless plodder.

His name is James, actually.

Really this club night should have gone out with glittery fairy wings in at the end of the 90s.

I can't decide whether it's this or Los Campesinos cardigans-and-glockenspiels indie that has the worse aesthetic.

get a load of la-de-da mr ubercool here

^^^CHALLENGING OPINION xp

Robots In Disguise – “Turn It Up”
Shiny Toy Guns – “Le Disko”

In my mind, these two records sound exactly the same (ie a bit like Bis). Am I correct?

Bis if someone beat them over the head with a copy of Glamour magazine for two hours, maybe.

Actually, I take it back: If it's up against "Holding out for a hero", that one.

Always get Shiny Toy Guns confused with "Shiny Disco Balls". Fortunately both are dreadful.

Nothing personal, but frankly this playlist looks infinitely more entertaining than what I've heard at recent Club P nights.

Also, Los Campesinos! are fantastic you nutcase.

i like Le Disko, the lyrics/vocals are, if you will, so bad, that they are, in fact, great

they're v Xenomanic

Actually replace anything post-2001 with Da Funk and a couple of shonky early mashups and you've basically got the Trash playlist from before Erol Alkan became Saviour Of Clubbing or whatever.

Stick Take On Me in there as well.

Robots In Disguise – “Turn It Up”
Shiny Toy Guns – “Le Disko”

Two of the very very worst groups of the last three or four years there, so they can share the spoils

Erasure > everything on this thread so far

He might have been thinking of the Sam Brown one.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GR1LdepWJ7c&feature=related

If I was drunk and out with my mates, I'd have a grand old time lurching around to a good 2/3rds of that playlist (the Stay Beautiful one, that is). It's so reassuringly behind the curve!

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Does Simon Price still have the Keith Flint hairstyle and Oakley shades look going on?

Yep

What a proper fucking DJ would play as a set:

The Beatnuts - No Escapin' This
Split Enz - Six Months In A Leaky Boat
Akinyele - Put It In Her Mouth
Capelton - Bun Dem Everyday
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Gimme Three Steps
Fall Out Boy - Thnks Fr The Mmrs (for the chicks)

Easy.

I always imagine him dropping "Firestarter", pointing to himself, and grinning like "I'm mad, I am!".

That's pretty much what I imagine you doing after all of your posts, Bodrick III

LBZC, shd this be the "talk about pre-strokes, post-britpop indie/glitterkids" thread?

Someone needs a hug!

I don't think we have any other option xp

the only shocking thing about that playlist is the absence of kenickie

Manic Street Preachers with Nina Persson - “Your Love Alone Is Not Enough”

^Just what everyone wants to hear at a disco. Along with three other Manics tracks, in between all the Placebo and lol Gary Glitter.

SOMEONE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THE DEMOGRAPHIC HERE.

wot no saint etienne o_O

also no 'stay beautiful', controversially.

am shocked and stunned this was still going in 2008. was probably shocked and stunned it was still going in 2003 tbh.

ahh, simon price, not stuart price.

now thread makes more sense. could totally imagine stuart price playing a few of these.

I've seen Stuart Price DJ, and it was pretty much just straight up house and techno.

Will Stuart Price pick his next playlist from the following?

Kenny Ball and his Jazzmen - Sukiyaki
Ned Miller - From A Jack To A King
Joe Brown and his Bruvvers - That's What Love Will Do
Spotnicks - Hava Nagila
Frank Ifield - Wayward Wind
Shadows - Foot Tapper
Richard Chamberlain - Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo
Maureen Evans - Like I Do
Steve Race - Pied Piper (The Beeje)
Frankie Vaughan - Loop De Loop
John Leyton - Cupboard Love
Ronnie Carroll - Say Wonderful Things
Bachelors - Charmaine

I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS DEMOGRAPHIC. That's a fact alright.

eastern european teenagers, crepey young men in eyeliner, goths with richey manic fixations

"have you seen them do you know them?"

Apparently at the last night they played a song for "A friend of ours who left 13 years ago". They weren't talking about Eazy-E or Dean Martin, sadly.

WHERE DID YOU BURY HIM?

Ate him, morelike, amirite, lol fatteys

(having checked Wikipedia) or Vivian Stanshall, or that dude from The Fat Boys.

Jerry Garcia?

well, they did play "hunting tigers out in India" folks.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Well there's that one solved then

IT'S GOOD!

IT's basically done so it sounds like "If you tolerate this"

I doubt it's from JoWiley's live lounge.

And at least one, maybe two, voted without having heard it.

lol i thought "the last 'stay beautiful' club night" meant the last one ever, but apparently shit is still goin strong...

http://content.answers.com/main/content/wp/en/b/b5/RicheyJamesEdwards.jpg

"No clouds in my stones..."

OK who the fuck voted for "Babies"??

I did. You wanna make something of it?

"It's good! Just like If You Tolerate This Then Your Children Will Be Next!"

Fucking Pipettes.

me too! fuckin' 'ell.

If only I gave a shit about dressing up, I'd pop along.

You could just walk into any one of the dozens of other indie clubs with a similar playlist?

(There's a fairly big assumption there that they still exist, but these nights used to be two a penny)

But I haven't got any stripey French fisherman's jumpers.

matt i think yr average indie club playlist these days would be more kaiser chiefs/klaxons/gossip, no?

i actually went to stay beautiful, years ago. pricey was trying to push things forward by mixing in a few neptunes tracks in between all the manics and kenickie, and clearing the floor every time...

"Indie kids don't like black people" coming up on News At Ten...

We've certainly regressed since the early 90s when Eazy-E was pimping Tarrie B, that's for sure. Those were the days when gothtards and rap co-existed happily.

Surely the Kaiser Chiefs are so unfashionable now that even the lowest common denominator indie disco would only play them if absolutely desparate?

you're probably right matt.

They haven't quite fallen to Carter USM status yet.

I think they're about Stereophonics level.

who voted for Ladytron?

in a weird way, it makes me happy that theres still a club for manics fans to blot out 99% of modern life.

i just hope I never accidentally go in.

or meet anyone who goes there.

or read this thread again.

and yet, you know all three will happen.

Starting with the *last* item on the list!
