Good to see you there: expect some good tunes, a friendly vibe and the distant a-rattlin' of donation boxes and badges for sale!

PS Anyone fancy helping out with a bit of donation bucket-shimmying?
count me in. no problem.

Lol! Yeah but it takes about 40 odd minutes to get to RO's from there (well over an hour if I go home) and that means not sleeping till about 1. Having to talk to the Mayoral candidates, the media, various faith groups, celebs and other political types with lack of sleep aint my idea of fun!
 
I'll probably be about and I can shake buckets too if I'm there while not playing chess or something...

Just realise I'm ugly and people give money to attractive people usually.

You could be a freak show maybe?

Looking forward to this!
Worked out the DJ line up yet?
Fuck! I've been so busy sorting out the server I haven't got around to that yet.

Confirmed so far: dubversion, ianw, me, Actionettes.

I'll have to see who else I can squeeze in from the rest - if you're available, post your name here but I can't promise anything because of the lack of DJ slots.

I'm considering an all-women DJ line up for the one after too!
 
Most importantly of all we need people at this event!

I've been so busy sorting out the server that I haven't had chance to mail out invites, so drag yer mates along. Please!

I'll have some badges to flog too, so be sure to stop me and buy one.

I'll see who I can squeeze into the DJ list later.
 
OK: here's the hastily assembled final line up for Thursday night, based on who's responded here.

Please come along and pack the place out - and if you're feeling generous - donate away!

10:10 - 11 dubversion
9.30 - 10:10 ianw
8:50 - 9:30 Me
8:10 - 8:50 Actionettes
7:35 - 8:10 Blagsta
7:00 - 7:35 LD Rudeboy

hmm. i'm thinking swinging 60s garage/psych pop and mod... Jacques Dutronc, anyone?

funnily enough i've been considering an all french set, kicking off with 'le responsable'. i have a great version of 'treason' by teardrop explodes in french that i've been aching to play as well. as it's the eurovision song contest on saturday, maybe we could take a country each.

erm.. i've only got about two tracks by Germans, and they're both dour :(

aha - actually, it's eurovision on saturday isn't it?


hmm.. i'll give this some thought.. Dubversion's Eurovision Selection.


ok, it's a deal (as long as i can play Le Responsable.. please :D )
 
ian - i quite like doing this Eurovision thing (l always try and have a theme!!!) but i don't want to cramp your Gallic style.....

yeah, a set of downbeat berlin electronica to round off the night!

if you can't stretch to a single country for your set, how about foreign language songs only? you can be europe joining together in perfect harmony, side by side on the ritzy's tecnics, oh lord....

i have 40 mins of french language stuff easy - you could do the poonk end, so you'd get manu negra, les negresse vertes, etc, etc. or is that too much gallicosity for the offline faithful?

got anything in spanish?
 
talking of which, can anyone point me in the direction of some french language covers of motown/sixties soul classics? do such things existe?

Some MC Solaar maybe?
yeh, that'd work..


ok, i might just try this (i'll try and steer clear of france ian, except for Les Negresses Vertes and Dutronc and MC Solaar... the rest is yours) but i reckon i can cover most of the rest of mainland europe...



mmm.. krokus or yello? ;)
