Bechuga Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 No way, it IS a big deal!!! Enjoy the freedom and personal space =) It's not that much personal space (well, it's a little apartment) but yeah, freedom. I can finally blast some Autechre while taking my breakfast without annoying everybody and it feels great ! As someone who in the last year also moved out, I fully understand any happiness you might have. Enjoy it! *blasts Lawnmower Deth full volume* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcock Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 im too english to enjoy irn-bru, something i am regularly bullied and demeaned for. the statement 'i dont like irn-bru' is treated with a sort of appauled astonishment mingled with pity.

doublename Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 (edited) nobodys forgotten them, you cant actually buy them here though, or at least ive never seen one. "We did a telephone survey in June, 2004, of a random selection of the 627 fish and chip shops in Scotland to ascertain the delicacy’s availability, cost, and consumption. The response rate was 62% (303 of 488 telephoned): 66 (22%, 95% CI 17·2–26·4) shops sold deep-fried Mars bars, 235 (78%, 72·9–82·3) did not, 51 (17%, 108–66) had sold them in the past, and for two the person we spoke to did not know. 72% of shops had been selling them for 3 years or less. Mean weekly sales were 23 bars, but ten shops reported selling 50–200 per week. The mean price was UK£0·60 (range £0·30 to £1·50). 76% of Mars bars were sold to children, 15% to teenagers, and 9% to others or a combination of these three groups. 16% of shops said they were more likely to sell them during school term." http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736%2804%2917589-2/fulltext Edited September 25, 2016 by doublename Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcock Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 well, bugger me sideways, i have literally ever seen one mentioned, eaten, on a menu, or advertised in the 9 years ive lived here, and i eat at a lot of disgusting chip and kebab shops. pizza crunch supper is a staple though, which is just a cheese and tomata pizza battered and deep fried, served with chips and a can of juice. oh, and juice in scotland means coke or irn-bru. i found that one pretty funny when i moved up.

hello spiral Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Here's the vid I took. Has the support acts in there too so the 'bow doesn't start til around 5mins in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeAreOceans Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 oh snap you got to see all four of the Cuts project? "Just" had Merzbow and Balazs at FAC251, lush small venue though, you could probably have leaned over and stroked Merzbow's hair. Highlight of the evening was seeing Merzbow's brow peeking through the door with a small window. "Is it the noise time yet?" Not sure what to make of those support acts in your video...

hello spiral Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Yeah this was the gig in the Church in Hackney. Supports were unexpected. I liked the first one better than the 2nd one, though he played about ten minutes too long. Kinda like a mix of Russell Haswell's stripped down rave noise and a noise Dean Blunt. I grabbed his tape the next day from here https://wagtailrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/olan-monk Seeing Masami solo twice tomorrow in a more intimate venue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeAreOceans Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 gah if I had less plans for the weekend and lost more braincells last night I'd just cart myself down to London for round 2, what a show, I think I said goodbye to a few frequencies in my ear during that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweepstakes Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Had this really great talk with a friend from work and we agreed that my perennially procrastinated MIDI controller project seems to tie in just about perfectly with some things he's discovered in a completely different problem domain. Fuck yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
