WTF? Who wrote that? How can there be a Plan B journalist who has NOT been in Shimura Curves?!??! Who is it?!? Find them! Recruit them! We need a sousaphone player!

(Is there more? I'll be jealous if the review is more about Gooblar than about US)

Ebony Bones are very good. Have we seen them again?

Aaaah, good times. We should do that again. Except I'm not talking to Jim or Jim isn't talking to me, I can't remember which way around it is every time I think I remember it changes if I talk to him, he snubs me, or if he talks to me, I think he's not talking to me so I snub him. It's all too confusing.

I have ONE THING I have to do before I leave and I just cannot bring myself to do it. THis is so stupid. I'm just transfixed by ILX carcrash action.

We should go and see them again, they are playing at the 333 on friday or saturday, but I am in sheffield.

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 18:09 (seventeen years ago) link

They play too damn much! They play, like, every single night. So there is never a point to going to see them, because you could always see them on a different night. If they would play once a month of something, I would make more of an effort to actually see them.

They are too hardworking for indie.

OTM. I am always thinking I should go see 'em again, but yeah, why this time?

I didn't need to be "perverted" into "performing" my hand-jives and hip-rotations!

Come round whenever (although give me a chance to tidy up a little)

ok, i am waiting for spanish trapezist's stuff to be done in washing machine then after i've taken it out i will leave the house.

I am leaving in t minus two minutes.

I have just realised that I cannot do this ONE THING that I have been needing to do before I go, as the critical bit - what DATE it should be filtered on - has been omitted from my brief.

Ah, t minus one minute now.

Tomorrow I swear to god I am not going to muck about on ILX at all, and I am going to work like a dog all day long, I swear to god I am.

Nah that was all that was mentioned. It was just a live review of Ebony Bones by Hannah Gregory.

Oh the opening was
Tonight is dance night. Dance as in 'Agadoo' routines, Macarena wrist shakes and can-can knees.
Shimura Curves have already swished and swooshed their pretty velvet-edged electro pop , perverting skinny boys to perform hand-jives and hip rotations across their decorous stage.

Whoops, I missed all the "HI DERE NED" comments from yesterday. Hello again all! Three weeks from now I'll be posting on this thread from Andrew's flat going "Wait, I'm in London."

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 18:46 (seventeen years ago) link

HI DERE NED

wait, it's 2.30am

― emsk ( emsk ), Thursday, 15 February 2007 02:23 (seventeen years ago) link

HI DERE NED!!!

Wait, I'm in the office.

I feel very fuzzy this morning. Ed and Emsk got me drunk and tried to demonstrate this "comedy" thing that they have here in the icen forests of Clerkenwell.

I liked Bill Bailey's fake prog song, that was hilarious. And I think I might have to fall into the Mighty Boosh Crush Fold. Apocalyptic grannies and fake Funkadelic wandering the desert in "it's not a dress, they're the robes of a psychedelic monk!" gear. I like.

Now I am going to have some coffee. Or some lemsip. Or maybe both. I'm not sure in which order.

URRGH

It's your own fault, you bad mang.

I just watched the clip of Joss Stone on the brits last night, WTF at her fake accent?

― Norman Phay (Pashmina), Thursday, 15 February 2007 10:35 (seventeen years ago) link

I've only seen pictures in other people's papers this morning. She scares me. I would probably wear her dress as a shirt, tho.

It is a lovely pattern. But that is not a dress. It is barely even a shirt.

What is wrong with the eyebrows of the bloke next to her?

x-post now THAT is an outfit. I used to dress like that in 1991 or so.

― masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 15 February 2007 10:45 (seventeen years ago) link

Ohmigod, what a great shirt:

I just wanted to say thanks to various watercooler folks who offered advice and supportive thoughts at the end of last week. I have emailed various folks but also wanted to thank Norman, emsk, G00blar, Ed and JB. I hope I haven't forgotten anyone.

― Dr.C (Dr.C), Thursday, 15 February 2007 11:01 (seventeen years ago) link

Sorry for awful awful bad form, but I'm sorry, I wasn't around at the end of last week. Is everything OK? I mean, obviously not if supportive thoughts are needed.

Please pardon my ignorance. I'll email if it's private.

― masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 15 February 2007 11:05 (seventeen years ago) link

OK, it doesn't look like we're leaving this place any time soon:
