RETROSPECTACULAR, 1987 (Zonino-esque DiSers mega event)

dan_thw [Edit] [Delete] 50 replies 16:47 December 6th, 2012

Remember Zonino? This is a bit like Zonino. Onionz. Or something. It's on Saturday December 15th at The Windmill in Brixton. You're coming, right?

TRANSFERS OUT - Drunk bamos in a pink jumper / ropey UK indie bands.
TRANSFERS IN - Drunk dan_thw in swimming shorts / members of ropey UK indie bands forming cover bands to play classic indie albums.

Same DJs - the awesome team of joeymahone and nice_squirrel tearing up the dancefloor with the hits of 1987.
Same crowd - a load of DiSers having fun and some other people who don't use the internet as much also having fun.

We're celebrating the alternative classics of 1987. SISTER by SONIC YOUTH being played in full by a Manchester supergroup. DOCUMENT by REM in full. YOU'RE LIVING ALL OVER ME by DINOSAUR JR and THE PURPLE TAPE by PIXIES almost in full. Also sets of songs by THE REPLACEMENTS, THE SMITHS, GUIDED BY VOICES, HUSKER DU and the obligatory live karaoke set, this time of BAD by MICHAEL JACKSON.

Haha, do you remember asking me to do Smooth Criminal at Dammit?

I'm tempted but worried if I'm drunk I might attempt to do the dance (which would be terrible mark my words).

This would be the very opposite of terrible

You should ask plasticniki if she can do it,

and change the lyrics to Librarian Girl.

marckee @dan_thw | 12 Dec '12, 13:52 | X | ^ This | Reply
Make it happen!

Some ideas:

- Get on the train in a fat controller suit.
- Get some roller skates and hang on to the back of a car.
- Borrow a car. Remove the flux capacitor. Call the AA and say "oh shit I've broken down, I live at The Windmill in Brixton, you'll have to tow me back there". Free journey.

You'll find somewhere!

If not there's my cold, cat dominated living room as mentioned above.

There's a sofa at mine...

I live 15 minutes walk away (a drunken 20 minutes walk maybe).

I had so much fun

If you came - thankyou.
If you didn't come - thankyou as well, just because I'm so happy.

This was really fun, only saw the last 3 sets though

Sonic Youth band sounded superb

think it was deadonthestairs who just toppled right onto the stage

malick | 16 Dec '12, 16:03 | X | ^ This | Reply
ha

It may have helped if i'd not spent the entire getting slaughtered at the pub and had instead learned the words. Hehe. I think it's safe to say i *made it my own*
CRINGE. I hopeyou enjoyed my table dancing too :)

PickledOeuf @dan_thw | 16 Dec '12, 17:33 | X | ^ This | Reply
well, this was great fun

thanks for dancing everyone. We ran out of songs exclusively from 1987 at 3.10am (save for a few special ones at the end) but thankfully we had enough songs from earlier in the 80s to keep us going until 4am! This was definitely the most people we've had left partying until the end, well done.

nice_squirrel | 17 Dec '12, 09:56 | X | ^ This | Reply
Immense levels of dancing!!

SO much fun! Thank you!!! And Joe, obvs!

I'm almost over Bamos lifting me up and showing everyone my bum to The Time of my Life.

Thanks for putting this on, Ormsby <3

This was lots of fun and I feel terrible now.

Thanks to everyone who did all the organising and playing and stuff.

I accidentally left my mate's suitcase with £300 worth of guitar pedals on the 432 bus yesterday. Whoops.

Where did the glitter come from? My memory towards the end is a little hazy.

That puppy was brilliant.

That guy who kept hitting it was a bellend.

Trying to ring Arriva today to see if it was handed in :/
