I'm thinking August?
Hello.
I will come to this. Games and drinks and no dancing. Hurray!

Oh that's okay. I have a few things going on in July across a couple of weekends but August should be plain sailing. Just read a little bit about the new premises, apparently it's double the size it was in Soho which is great.
How are your feet?

The old one was so narrow! Granted, we were kinda a big group, but new premises is good to hear.
Yeah, let's pick a weekend & we'll get this ship sailing.
I'm sure Musha will want to come along, I reckon we can convince Jed, noffles, jimbor and BGBW too.

put a few more question marks on mine thanks
I am disappointed I didn't get the chance to talk to you about Star Wars when I was in London.

Ninj are you out there...? Come to this London thing and we can be travel buddies!

Having been to Dalston I know that it's a proper trek from the centre. Oh wait, did you mean for a different day? Yeah would be up for that another time sure.
I think it's more of a 'they have a playlist in the background' kind of situation
Yeah, it'll be it's own thing. It's only a bus ride away from Z's place in Angel & there's a Wahaca there.
Fish tacos then nerdy cocktails sounds like a good time I want to be having right now.

I was about to say "You can try to stop me dancing" but that's already covered.

Are we talking a Saturday? These are the days I'm free
2nd August
30th August
6th September
We will rectify this

I'm about on the 30th but the weekend of the second is Westival so not about then. Unless we could get westival as an official minimeet
What's this fun business? Is it something similar to humour?
Both sound like a fad to me.
I'll double check with E but providing there are no mental or physical health emergencies at sploat mansions I'll be there!
And I'll be getting the coach both ways this time. But going to the loo first.
PS is there a limit on numbers? Not sure if E will be up to it but I can ask...

Put me down as a maybe for that. Won't be certain about late August until a week or 2.
Nope, no limit on numbers whatsoever
The_Poet - the meet is on Saturday, it's starting at Regent's Park at noon, then following on to Big Red (a rock bar) then a club somewhere in Camden
We're currently talking about a future one we're going to do at Loading Bar in Dalston, which is a videogame themed bar with great (though not cheap) cocktails and games to play there for free

Oh my god Hundred Reasons are playing Ideas Above Our Station in full next Friday
Yes I did post this in FakeGAF first but I thought people in here with good taste might like to know
Nope, no limit on numbers whatsoever

This literally makes me want to cry. Such an important record for me as a lad (and not a patch on the EPs!). I play with Paul T's new band fairly often these days, I don't think he's playing these HR shows so in my mind they don't really count
I need to ask him what happened there one of these days.Fuuuuuuuuuuuck you princess!
Hundred Reasons are local boys, I love them so. Just because every album after the second one sucks doesn't mean a thing.

Even the second one wasn't very good apart from "Pop" (and the far superior b-side, "Introduction to Pop"). Best of HR is the three EPs, half of the first record and a handful of the first record's b-sides.
Seriously, being friends with Paul on facebook was one of the greatest achievements of my life.
La la la can't hear you listening to Prince la la la la
Meat I'm replying to your post below- I just remember them coming out and being on Mtv 2 when I used to hang out and Play Dreamcast. I remember the singer having Zack de la R hair and them being whiny. I haven't listened to them since but I'm perfectly capable of hanging onto that initial irritation for many many years to come.

Aren't Hundred Reasons like a really, really poor man's At The Drive-In? I dimly remember the hair but can't nail a specific tune.

I wouldn't say they were that ATDI apart from the obvious post-hardcore roots. ATDI were much sharper and more aggressive, HR were a bit softer with a chunkier guitar sound. Britrock. Similar to Hell is For Heroes I guess. I'll Find You, Soapbox Rally, Silver, classic choons.
Is it bad that I've heard of none of these bands/songs?
Screaming Meat
Unconfirmed Member
Ah right. Doesn't sound like I'd get on with them. Were they on TGI Friday once?
It is bad that you've never heard of At The Drive-In. Relationship of Command is a genuine classic album: Arcarsenal, Pattern Against User and Cosmonaut are phenomenal songs.
Oh you

May have missed the point.
Although I'm guessing, from my extremely limited interactions with you, that the heavier and/or aggressive end of rock and/or roll isn't your preferred musical choice.

Not even Stories With Unhappy Endings? Some great riffage going on in that.
