I'm sure you mean the one opposite the Joiners Arms(the irony...)?It seems that the only qualified clientile they have is low-paid city gents,sales people and dodgy Hackney scum.

well well well, it seems like i will be going to see circle tonight. if i see anyone trembling at the bar i'll assume that it's you, marras.

Well I hope you made it, T&B, and that you found Porkie, as poor planning on my part meant I had to leave before any bands came on. My mind didn't go "Club night.... will go on until very late", and I caught the train into London. London being the sophisticated city that it is, the last train home was at 11.30 pm - how stupid is that.

I really enjoyed meeting Porkie though. Super chap. See you again soon, mate, and I'll be better organised next time.

i met porkie, too.... i hope his hand is ok. he can explain that one.

circle were alright, but nothing to write home about, not as good as the last time i saw them, unfortunetly. although my enjoyment of them could have been reduced by the stifling heat of the venue.

Hi guys,my hand is in tatters and that was a spectacular fall Le Toilette,wasn't it?I managed to leave a trail of blood on the stairs but the chaps from the venue were super sweet.I missed Circle because by that time i was getting the wrong type of attention from some chap and i was:
1)Knackered
2)Very Drunk
3)Super annoyed at the acoustics of the place

The second band was alright enough for me to move front stage and abandon the two Oasis(!) fans i was chatting to.Nothing special though,i mean,do these people really believe that some of us haven't heard Loop and Sun Dial first time round.What's the difference between sounding like that and britpop?

Sun Dial had killer guitar wank.
Gary Ramon is underrated as a guitarist and his Acme label is to be lauded for their many fine releases.

Oh and never mix Codeine with alcohol and the heat.i paid the price for it severely.

apparently there were a few prostitutes roaming around inside the club trying to look for business. whatever next?!

I don't even bother giving you reputation because by now you just know.

Guess what?I left and went to the chip shop and these saaarf London grime girls started chatting to me because they found my blood stained shirt attractive.Oh dear.

"Hey, tough guy.."

Sack of potatoes more like.

maybe i should try spilling ketchup on myself to see if it helps with the ladies

Eh? In Corsica Studios? Not a place that I would imagine a large amount of men trying to solicit sex would gather.

I think Toilette might be right on that one.There were some.erm....,shady carachters in there for sure.

It's Elephant and fucking Castle for god's sake!

yeah, but a gig like that is the last place you'd expect to see a hooker, and probably the last place to go if you're in the mood to pay an unattractive woman to let you stick your dick in her.


but yeah, elephant and castle is a shit hole.

Did you see that tosser who was obviously the first band's manager and he kept bouncing back and forth from the stage to the bar trying to convince people that the band were amazing?He bumped into me at the bar and i gave him a killer look.What a wanker.I wonder how the hooker found her way into the venue.

that first band were awful. AWFUL!

And what was going on with the King Diamond look?It made me smile to think that i met you while we were both having a wee.How romantic..........

yes, it was quite ironic, all things considered.

Hey thanks for the link.

The music is excellent.Tell us more about it please.

I'm going to the bar....SPLAT!

I had a crowd of people in the toilet.Krautrock fans love blood for sure.

Euurgh. I'm glad I wasn't there to see that.

The cuts are not that bad looking at them now.It felt worse the next day.Thinking back i could have hurt myself in a bad way.Toilet what were those two guys going on about?The brief conversation i've had with the long haired one has totally left my mind.

What exactly did happen to your hand, pork? How did you end up slicing it?

And those who actually witnessed Circle, what kind of show did they play? Was it more song based, i.e. more of a rocker thing, or were they just drony and repetitive krautrock and kept on going like that through the set? (which is what their live LPs usually are like)

A little incident.I remember saying to Toilet 'I'm going to get a drink' turning round and tripping on the step of the projection room's entrance.As i was clutching a pint glass you can imagine the rest.Thankfully it's nothing serious.

Jesus fuck...

Replacing pint glasses with these at pubs wouldn't be such a bad idea, would it?

Erm....yes,but they should also fill them with sunny delight rather than beer.

like neu meets judas priest

that guy who came over and asked us if we knew circle personally, and then told us he'd put out a record with them, and then said he hadn't, and his mate?

he asked me if i liked the klf, and i said not really, and then he asked me if i thought it was cool when bill drummond burned a million quid, i said no, he said thought it was "a great statement", i said it was rubbish, and then he asked me what i thought of capitalism, so i said "why don't you go and ask someone else what they think about?", and then he left.

That sounds not bad at all to me.

it was good, but not as good as the last time i saw them, it seemed more like they were joking around this time rather then just focusing on being awesome, like last time.

I see what you mean, people often seem to approach their "tongue in cheek metal shtick" in rather divided ways. It's usually Rättö's voice that rubs people the wrong way. That's kind of a hit or miss thing and I do understand why many like their early Loop -esque krautrock better.
Personally, I was quite prejudiced towards that side of theirs untill I heard bits off Sunrise and Tulikoira and found myself liking them both. Now I just need to buy them.

Yeah that's what I'm sayin'.....might have to check that out.

I only recall smiling to both of them and not listening to a word they said.Gosh,did you know that the KLF foundation opened and actively finance The Foundry?Burning a million quid is rubbish,i know.

yeah, i know they run the foundry. anyway, i kind of like getting into conversations with bell-ends as it can be entertaining listening to and then making fun of their stupid opinions.

Same here.i just didn't have the time or the patience to follow his ramblings.Live audiences appal me for the most part.Those two Oasis fans i was talking to were funny though.
