Gigantor

[zotz]

I thought that went quite well. A reasonable number of people in (although mostly not until eleven or so) and a fair number stayed until the end. Thank you for turning up, those who did, and apologies for not timing it better to those of you who had other engagements last night.

The next two Gigantors are looking like being on the 8th of October and the 3rd of December.

I was slightly baffled by a request sheet left lying from (presumably) the Friday indie disco they have in the Park Room these days. Somebody had asked for Pixies, Weezer, Beastie Boys, Flaming Lips, Super Furry Animals, Breeders, Pulp, Pavement, Blur, The Clash, Idlewild, Rod Stewart and Meatloaf. Can any of you spot a couple of odd things about that list?

Glad to hear it went well. Sorry I didn’t make it. I wasn’t feeling too good. :/

I’ll try and make the next ones.

[zotz]

That's a shame. Hopefully you'll feel better soon.

[lilitufire.livejournal.com]

Teen spirit is definitely Malibu (barfs)

Sorry I missed it!

[zotz]

I always understood the title of the song was a reference to this stuff.

[original-aj.livejournal.com]

Had a great night, thanks!

But where will we go for good music between now & October?!?

[zotz]

Good. Thanks for coming.

Errr . . . don't know about the second part. Can I get back to you on it?

[original-aj.livejournal.com]

'Kay.

BTW, is it Neon tonight? And what's the mix of music like there now?

[zotz]

Nope. Neon last week and next week. I think last week's would have been a little more to your taste than the one before. I enjoyed it more. More people there, too, as it was a holiday just after.

[original-aj.livejournal.com]

Next week might be possible then.

Do you have any plans for tonight? I could use a drink & a chat if you're free.

[zotz]

> Next week might be possible then.

See how you feel. It'd be good to see you, as always.

> Do you have any plans for tonight? I could use a drink & a chat if you're
> free.

Sounds possible. Jane's here, but I could slope over at some point.

[original-aj.livejournal.com]

Probably better if we pop out somewhere. Any preferences?

When would be good for you?

[zotz]

No preference, no. I'm free generally.

[http://users.livejournal.com/puzzle_/]

May be tempted to come along to the next one, looking at that playlist.

[zotz]

Cheers. The setlists for the previous two are here and here, if you're interested.

[original-aj.livejournal.com]

I told you that it was better than Stunners!

[http://users.livejournal.com/puzzle_/]

I wouldn't go quite that far ;)

Cheese is a fundemental need!

[original-aj.livejournal.com]

Chhese before bedtime gives you nightmares!

[zotz]

Even the thought of certain sorts of cheese gives me nightmares.

[randomchris.livejournal.com]

How on earth do you play a record by accident?

[zotz]

I'd been meaning to play a different one off the compilation (Rock the Casbah, in fact) but got slightly confused by the controls on the new CD player and jumped past the one I was after. That was purely my mistake, of course - I get the impression Lara and Seth make fewer mistakes than I do.

[micheinnz.livejournal.com]

Hm, a decent amount of overlap there with stuff I'd expect to dance to at a KAOS party. Glad it went well!

(And would you like the URL to my husband's remixes of The Hand That Feeds?)

[zotz]

Glad it went well!

Thank you.

(And would you like the URL to my husband's remixes of The Hand That Feeds?)

Ooh, why not? Yes please.

[micheinnz.livejournal.com]

Hehe. Here you go. One of them's fairly industrial-y, and the other... isn't.

[zotz]

Indeed it's not. It sounds a bit like it ought to have Michael Stipe on backing vocals.

[micheinnz.livejournal.com]

Interesting! d_h (the perpetrator) agrees.

Freestylers - B-boy stance

Great. Added. Hopefully that's right now . . .

Cheers.

[gingiber.livejournal.com]

Also added. Thanks.
