Want to come to this.
I wanted to last time but had two Hallowe'en parties of close friends that I couldn't easily turn down. Hopefully no friends' Christmas parties'll clash...
Oh, you bellend
Suckered me in with the Womack, and then arranged it for a day when I'm in Milton bloody Keynes. Ah well, see you in January for Tubthumping.
^ignore this, I'm an eejit
An eejit who will very much be around that weekend. BASEMENT JAXX Y'ALL. Thanks.
I could play an hour of Jaxx songs I love
Current short list:
Oh my gosh. Red alert. Jump n shout. Raindrops.
Switch Romeo for Oh My Gosh and we're in business.
Middle two are the most important anyway.

I'm a sucker for Plug It In myself...

I am up this weekend, but need more info please
Alas no

A club night devoted to a different letter of the alphabet each month, upstairs at The Camden Head.

It's 4 DiSsers djing (me, nice squirrel, joeymahonevand lozpawley) creatively overseen by some bloke called Bamos.
Next one will be C and on 11th January.
this looks like the sort of thing I should be all over
You know you're only allowed in if you know all the lyrics to Spaceman, right?
dunno what this means
come and hang out with me on Saturday, man. somewhere in Islington. more details to follow...
me and others, obvs
me and you would be weird.
There's a fire between us
dunno what this means
It's time to terminate

Flyer / poster
http://postimage.org/image/vpdc35utn/
Such a good idea for a flyer
Works really well, I'm a fan
Oh, and we have a white board
On which we draw stupid things. That should be enough to attract even the most hardened sceptic...
This looks great!
Also, how much did it cost you to hire The Camden Head? Thinking of doing a thing.
B-52s -- Roam (definitely not Love Shack)
Bentley Rhythm Ace -- Brother's gonna sort you out
Big Audio Dynamite II -- Rush
Black Grape --In The Name of the Father
The Breeders -- Cannonball
Bumblebeez -- Dr Love (or Black Dirt, take your pick)
^ignore this madman
The only reason not to play Love Shack would be if you were playing this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEgGq3EA6fA
Which, actually, you should be.
you literally can't NOT play Love Shack
Literally
If Love Shack is on the set list, I'm not coming
Win/Win
screw you, dan! screw YOU!
B is such a great letter.
I think S is going to be the best
Although I think XYZ should be done as one lump.
Drinking in LA
Don't Fear the Reaper
Born to Run
Rave On
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qpoToJ2Au0
I expected that to be a link to more cowbell
I am so excited about B
the A night was brilliant, but there's at least twice as many good B songs.
Was really hoping this would be the first weekend of Dec :(
First weekends are already in use alas
:(
Likely that was the only date I could have made for quite a while. Ah well... hopefully I can make 'M' or something instead.
i'm only coming if you play an hour of solely the beatles,
followed by an hour of solely bob dylan.
Beatles hour starts at 8pm
Dylan's on at 9.
great, see you there.
what time does the boney M hour start?
Seven
if it isnt just Sunny on repeat, i'm going to be very dissapointed.
We played loads of Arctic Monkeys at A
LOADS
Bobby Brown - Two Can Play That Game
Does Mr Blobby come under B or M?
M
Haha, I just got an iTunes email receipt from the last one
Shoutout to Allo Darlin', Action Bronson, A.R.E. Weapons and Alannah Myles.
I'd like to come to this.
:(
going up north for Christmas that day :(
Yeah we were / are a bit concerned a few people might be doing this
Hopefully most of you can only handle 3 days with your family like us moody fuckers and will take the extra days off work as an excuse to rip up London.
Still time to change train tickets...
Can't believe this is STILL two weeks away...
The white board pen might dry out before this comes around.
However that still gives you guys time to suggest shit and brush up on BATS songs so I can deafen you with some post-hardcore punk rock.

I can't believe you've put that Bruno Mars song on there
now I can tolerate a LOT of crap, but I think that will be my opportunity to go to the bar. And then hum it all night.
I doubt we'll ever get to that track given I have 7 Britney songs I prefer
But I do like that it sounds a bit Christmassy
HEY BABY I THINK I'M GONNA MARRY YOU
That link's not working for me
(I even tried opening your profile and trying to find it that way, but it's not listed on there).
Anyway, probably wasn't gonna request anything anyway. Assuming you've already got the basics covered (Total Eclipse, Spaceman, Intergalactic, Parklife, Wicked & Weird, Walk like an Egyptian, Drinking in LA, Heart Attack American and the Jaxx stuff mentioned upthread, as well as You're The First, The Last, My Everything) then anything else is a bonus. And I know you'll already have all those because you are a man of fine taste; I just wanted to have a nose at what else you've got.
I guess I can wait.
I mean, this would be cool and all:

But no biggie.
no Body in the Thames?
http://bodyinthethames.bandcamp.com/
https://soundcloud.com/body-in-the-thames
not even this?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6fYDePHM98
They played your stuff last month,
but then had to delete your name from the playlist.
:D
funny AND clever
I've always wanted to hear My Machines in a club and been too chicken to play it myself
And pleasepleaseplease can the Boss track be Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)?
Goofy pls
I'm not sure I've ever heard this Boss track before?
Liking it...
It's a cracker
It's absolutely huge
It's a bit long
I'm going to this
YES
Or, y'know, just play it in full cos it's a beast of a song
It's My Life would work as well.
Not sure why that Spotify link wasn't working
Try this one?
http://open.spotify.com/user/seany_t/playlist/3h40Ku7TSeSM3x7ZKrrafy
Cool, that works
although I only scanned the first 20 or so songs that came up before thinking "Baha Men! Barenaked Ladies! Forgot all about them, amazing! But how much MORE amazing if they'd come on in the club without me having been forewarned?" so I stopped looking. Don't wanna ruin it.
SOON
anyone going for a drink somewhere beforehand?
YES!
(Not sure where yet though, will likely monitor twitter for #somebeers action)
if you play 'Like Eating Glass' I will do a weird dance to it
Shortest day of the year. Most people's last day in work. End of the world.
IF ONLY THERE WAS SOME WAY TO CELEBRATE IT ALL...?
I'm feeling as ropey as...er, a rope, so looking doubtful for this
:(
But don't think that means you can get away with not playing Bad Boys Inc
You fucking pleb
Eat some soup or something and man up!
(Sorry to hear that)
needs more Body Count

I am super excited
BLACK FRIDAY!!
I don't want to wait till T to hear Talking Heads so can we sneak some in under David Byrne?
Life During Wartime please
nope
David Byrne is D. Only two months to wait!
I'm definitely coming but my flatmate's backed out at the last minute
so I'm going to turn up and hope I find people to talk to...
Talking < dancing < hugging random strangers during Barenaked Ladies' songs
I think I recognised you last time, from Pointless. You disappeared pretty quickly though, iirc.
If I see you tonight, I'll say hi.
Not really the kind of thing you talk to people at though, tbf
If I even have to leave the dancefloor more than about 3 times I'll be pretty unhappy.
That Blue Nile 45 minute section might have to get culled then...
is this why not many of you lot came to the DiSmas party?
I'm imagine it's one of several reasons
Just thought there would be more people introducing themselves by their messageboard name.
I thought about it but I was hungover from Wednesday, going out drinking Friday and am drinking again tonight, tomorrow, Monday and Tuesday.
Felt I needed a night off...
play the beastie boys
the whole thing would be a sham if there was no beasties
good job we have brought it to their intention
wish i could go to this.
Thanks to all who came!
Sorry about the blown speaker / lack of Bullet for my Valentine songs. Hope you had fun. My head fucking hurts.
(Always good to hear what you did / didn't enjoy for future events. And more because I'm nosey...)
So much fun.
Enjoyed pretty much everything I think!
I recently sorted all of my CDs out into alphabetical order, and I found
that by far and away the most bands/artists that I had beginning with any particular letter, was with the letter S.
So I'll be coming along to the S night, when it happens.
A LOT OF FUN
can someone make me not feel terrible
