Don't answer that.

Rodney Dangerfield jokes
please
I am there
just to spill Ribena on your sta prests
I am in credit with you so if you come on weds I will ahve two credit points fomr you!
I have a slight problem
I don't think I'm going to be able to come, sorry. I will try though.
Is BobbyGrin
allowed to plug on the social board 'cos he's a regular?
Fair enough.
Shouldn't this be on the announcements board?
It's not official yet -
I'm just letting my nearest and dearest know first. That's you guys. :D
A cunningly exploited loophole!
So who's coming...?
Ey?
You gotta.
Or I'll resurrect the Alex Mack thread.
And by the way - is it really possible to swim through a pool of money a la Scrooge McDuck??
ok
fine.
Be like that.
I'll come
I think someone has to add this to the listings thing, if it's not in my calender, IT DOESN'T HAPPEN.
I can't come because
The Longcut are playing that night too and I think I am going to that.
Err hang on...
No - it's been confirmed. You're not going to that.
we want
to go to The Luminaire instead.
"We want"??
Is that the public generally...?
Ah:
Pagan Wanderer Lu is playing! Curses! The people's choice. Is he really cute and fluffy or just a better musician?
Leave my money out of this
Grindrod
Wel *I'm* going to the Luminaire
so sorry about that.
The answer to that question
can be discussed here:
http://paganwandererlu.proboards76.com/
Looks like we're in direct competition Mr Restlessboy
Or should I say:
PAGAN WANDERER LU!
Yeah
which is actually crap. Because you know if one was the day after the other I'd have stuck around for the Fog Band.
You could always postpone
or you could
you've played in London before, so everyone must have already seen you.
We have played in London before,
But only a few from here have seen us. What time are you on?
how big can london be?
In Aberystwyth everyone goes to every gig.
I've no idea
what time I'm on. Ask shadyadie.
probably about 10pm
but that depends whether or not i get a 4th band to play.
I am a blank slate - what shall i go to?
?
Prole!
You've already pledged allegiance! (See earlier post)
well
http://www.myspace.com/paganwandererlu
and
http://www.myspace.com/thefogband
should help you decide
Ooh
That's tough talkin'!
Can I add
wwww.myspace.com/purr_records
Cos that has another tune...
I really want to go to both.
though I have seen the fog band already, and I haven't seen pagan wanderer lu. I can't decide. Maybe I'll go to neither :P
Yes, go to neither.
Come see The Longcut, myself and accidental are going.
I think I'm going to go see the Longcut
I won't feel so desperately depressed and wounded by lack of my BEAUTIFUL DiS FRIENDS WHO I CARE SO MUCH ABOUT that way.
They might not be on until late.
If so, I'll come and see The Fog Band first.
I thought
you were in the Fog Band.
I thought maybe you had some gimmick where you were all called Bobby...
Date DATE DATE!!
!
ooh
can you download this one?
Probably not,
Buy it! It's the least you can do! ;-)
Well whatever happens - let's all meet up.
See - I'm a man of the people. Join me.
what
time are you on?
and where is this place?
Not sure, but if I can get to yours
I'll try... I say we meet up at the venue of whoever plays last...
Oh and Buffalo Bar is
259 Upper Street,
London N1
England
Nearest tube : Highbury & Islington - (directions)
Tel : 020 7359 6191
Fax : 020 7359 6191
e-mail : info@buffalobar.co.uk
both places
are near each other then? That's good.
6th January
will turn brother against brother.
The Clash of the Titans!!!
in the Red corner: with their sharp suits and angular Cramps backing Nick Cave RnR... The Fog Band!
in the Blue corner: with his array of bleeping boxes, sharp wit and electro-indie packed with 'ohrwurm hooks'... Pagan Wanderer Lu!
Which will you get drunk and forget to turn up to?
*whispers*
Either way - if we continue the pretense of being in conflict, we can keep this thread bumped up.
oh no
I think I've said I'll come to both. What shall I do?!
okay
The Fog Band gig will doubtless be nought but pedestrian snooze rock. everyone should instead go to see
WORLD DOMINATION LEAGUE
featuring
PAGAN WANDERER LU (http://www.myspace.com/paganwanderlu)
electro indie songwriting majesty
and Atoms for Peace -who I've heard are good
and
The Bridge Gang - who are probably just like the Fog Band only miles better.
6/1/06 - be there or I'll bring back the blank thread.
do you have dates in Aberystwyth booked?
maybe I could come see you there...
doubt
I'll be playing in aber again unless someone asks me to.
Come to mine, it'll be like nothing on earth.
and
the fog band are like five people. so if no one turns up to their gig they won't be lonely.
not like poor little solo artist me.
okay II
The PWL gig will doubtless be nought but pedestrian pseudo-80s casio-myspacery. everyone should instead go to
THE BEAT HOTEL AT THE BUFFALO BAR
featuring
THE FOG BAND (http://www.myspace.com/thefogband
www.thefogband.co.uk)
"****1/2" Rolling Stone
"Quite, quite brilliant" SoundsXP.com
"unstoppably charming" clearandrefreshing.jp
"undoubtedly the best band I've seen live this year" bbc.co.uk
"Excellent... Bath's
finest" Artrocker.com
"a fantastically brilliant band" Bath Chronicle
Also playing:
adapter adapter
mon fio
the speed of sound
All of the above AMAZING bands are the original bands that restlessboy imitates in his pale tribute show entitled "Pagan Wanderer Lu".
6/1/06 - be there or I'll bring back the Alex Mack thread AND the one about Scrooge McDuck's coinage! Could you live with yourself??
I'm sure The Bridge Gang will be fed up that they are playing the same night cos at least one is a Fog Band fan!
dammit
I'm in Wales :0(
It's true
my tribute show is called 'Trapped in the Closet with BobbyGrindrod'
It reccounts my childhood where I was forced to tailor suits with my milk teeth for a callous rock singer and his band of pirates.
.
I love the Bridge Gang, am gonna put them on at my next night I think.
It would take 15 mins to get to the Luminaire from the Buffalo Bar if there was a handily timed train, you should try and do both!
i think
you can get the silverlink train from highbury, no? they're sometimes a bit unreliable tho.
whoah
so this is like - after xmas and new year? that's a whole lifetime away, my friend. ask me when the hangover's gone.
no it's this
Friday innit?
oh right
I don't know Marilyn.
So can you come, then?
yes
if it's not this Friday.
hooray!
Please don't frighten me.
I will
proberly be more frightened of you Bobby.
I doubt that.
I'm very dull in real life.
Actually I'm pretty dull here too.
what time are
you on Bobby?
oh wait
you already answered this. Well adie says I'm on at 10 so I'll try to come to yours for a bit if i can.
Only to see how shit you are obviously.
when is this event
I'm mildly confused.
It's on
Friday the 6th of January.
There is also another gig on the 6th which i am playing at. So Bobby and I are competing for DiS attendees.
Obviously everyone who goes to his gig will be sorely disappointed but you can't blame the lad for trying.
Friday the 6th January
Buffalo Bar
oh I see
the headline...woops...well I'll be at Bobby's do because I have a strange loyalty to him. Sorry restlessboy. Dam I wish there was more of me to spread around. Dang.
Yes!
Finally - an ally! Thanks Marilyn. I trust you're not one of Restlessboy's spies.
no although
I nearly got arrested once for stalking a certain person in a band in a bush in Reading.
no
it's friday 6th of january at the luminaire.
OMG this just like Blur vs Oasis.
Restlessboy can be Liam
bobby I have a proposition for you
Don't be scared. Would your band like to play a rock/indie night in late Febuary/ early March? It's in Putney, South-West London...
or
is your band very picky and ilitist these days..? ;)
Yeah
I hope you get AIDS you fooker.
Oh wait, that was Noel.
Erm...
*gets shit haircut and spends £1000 on a parka*
An open letter to the beautiful, kind, generous, warm-hearted, gentle, good, beauteous people of DiS
Please add yourself to this!
http://www.drownedinsound.com/event/view/14399
Do it!
This looks rubbish
I'll go to Matalan instead
Well funny you should say that
"Bobby Grindrod is unique outside of a Matalan’s men’s clothing catalogue"
-Bath Chronicle
hah
I put myself down as 'possibly' for both.
We do shout outs remember
Bet ol Pete Waterman doesnt.
I saw a Plinth of you Bob
outside Duck, Son & Pinker in Bath- you looked very tired on it
I'm still waiting for the blue plaque
what are you talking about Prole?
I did my year 10 work experience at Duck, Son and Pinker in Swindon.
Yeah
What ARE you talking about??
its in Bath as well cheeky
Mr Duck had lots of sons
yes, I know that
but WHY are you talking about it?
Yes
What is this 'plinth' you speak of? Was it in a graveyard?
Hmmm...
there's no 'fat chance' button.
.
what are the other bands like? anyone seen myspaces...
here's one
http://www.myspace.com/paganwandererlu
unfortunately he had to turn down the appearance with the Fog Band (they begged him) cos he was playing a much better, cooler, gig up the road where there will be celebrities and pirates and superheroes.
Grockle!
Me ol pal, me ol buddy! How annoying is restlessboy??? You should give im a piece of your mind!
.
nah, I've turded over a new leaf. Now I run over squirrels on my pushbike instead of ranting on here. Should change my name to 'Grockle-lite'
restlessboy said ohrwurm.
Respect.
Did you rob that off some pressage or come up with yerself. Hm? HM?
Bootleg Betsy wrote it for me
I tried loads of times to write my own blurb but it either felt tacky or came out like a particularly dull recipie book.
