I'm going to see v/vm tonight (in about an hours time...). I've burnt some demo cd-rs and I'm going to try to give them to him. They have my email address written on them... If he throws it into the crowd w/o listening to it, I will frisbee the other one at him. Worst that can happen is he can get me thrown out :P Results here tommorow unless I wind up in casualty. Wish me luck :) |

Ergh... They played christmas music cut up with D n B... I threw a demo CD-R at James Kirby... it hit him in the stomach. He ignored it. None of the people in the club seemed to care. I'm not sure if he picked it up, but it wasn't on the floor. I later threw another CD-r at him. He saw it was me and started throwing records at me. A 7" smashed on the chair behind me. I caught a 12" I have it with me now. I don't know what it is, it just has 2 K's back to back... I will play it tommorow to find out what it is. I held the vinyl in my teeth and jumped up and climbed up a new yourk style fire escape up the side of the building. After sitting on the roof alone for a bit I went home. Some girls accosted me in the street and tried to talk me into going to a D n B night in a club nearby, but I declined as I have work tommorow (well, today...) |

That last paragraph happened after v/vm left the stage BTW. As an aside, there were lots of people with afx/warp/ninja tunes t shirts and hoodies there as well as a lot of chin strokig pseudo-intellectuals. |

Oh, and if you think my behaviour was obnoxious, V/vm trashed the joint- they smashed up christmas decorations, mic stands, threw lights about etc. I spoke to people who worked at the club afterwards and they shouldn't of done it apparently. Still there was a raffle and one bloke I talked to won a cabbage signed by v/vm.. |

Another night in the Bristol Zoo... (sounds like a laugh actually you should have aimed for the head) |

hehe...sounds like an excellent night out... |

He was lying on the floor at the time, when it hit him he didn't move. It looked like he'd passed out from jumping around too much :) One of the speakers blew and caught fire. There was a 4/5 year old kid running around the club. The vinyl I got (and is now in my record bag) has silver spray paint on it. I'm going to email James Kirby and ask him if he got/played the cd. Results to follow... |

i was at a simillar event in school back in 1999 actually. there was like this talent show in and some bands where playing and two of my friends signed themself up with their preformance group "soffgrupp 1a". after all the other bands had played some functionarys brought in a table full with breakfast stuff. cerials, bread, milk, coffe etc.. the music started (melow electronica at first) and the two emerged from their hiding places behind the sence dressed in morning gowns (word?). so they sat themselfs at the table and started eating, looking real sleepy. after about one minute they started arguing a bit beacuse one of them refused to pass the milk to the other one so they started to throw food at eachother. the music changed to some wierd electronica/industrial remix of frank sinatras new york, new york (all the music was done by the them). the food fight got worse and worse and eruopted in violence and suddenly one of them took up an big axe he had hidden under his coath and starts to smash the table up and food just splatters on the stage and all the instruments and some teachers. they continue trashing stuff until they get thrown of the stage by our principal. it was good fun :) they didnt win sadly enough.. |

Sounds like fun :) For such a lo-fi club, the pre gig visulaisations were incredible- multiple projectors layering images on top of each other and also lip synching sections of christmas carols to bits of the film, "The nightmare before christmas". Very good. |

Wicked night! |

Err, but why did you climb on the roof? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The people outside were boring me. I thought it would be a good way to get away from them and also have a decent view from high up. Quite funny, trying to climb a rickety old ladder, holding a 12" vinyl in your teeth whilst you're hammered... |

...and dangerous young man. Please don't be so foolish during the next fire strike me lad. |

who is v/vm? |
||||||||
|
|

I do keep meaning to check out your mp3s - the register with mp3.com thing put me off but I will do it |
||||||||

V/VM is a duo who make all "their" music by just remixing other peoples without permission and usually then try to pass it of as their own. Probably most famous for the "Help Aphex Twin" remixes. I just realised the first track on the demo CD-R I burnt was missing 90% of the samples... there are long expanses of silence on it. Not so good considering it was the opening track. I still haven't heard back from them... |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
hahah you are cunning |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, I'm planning on doing say, 20 cd-rs and frisbeeing them on stage at a gig, at least one will get listened to :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I say, carefully craft your DEMO into a throwing star... so when you throw it. It'll stick in nice and deep to the person in question.... ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i should listen to your tracks but i and mp3.com are not speaking to each other. |
||||||||
|
|

lol! Move over Melrose Place! :D |
||||||||

Are you ever on Soulseek? Also, I hope to be on inverted whales' file sharing server by the end of this week. |

BTW, as an aside to the original story, I managed to find a copy of the record that he threw at me in a bargain bin in a record shop at the weekend. Can't remember who it's by (someone I'd never heard of). I should of bought it as it was only a £1 and it sounds like strobing would work on it. It's a DnB record, but sounds best at 33rpm with the pitch down 10%, much nicer :) |

robert hood becomes mind-filling when played on 33rpm instead of 45 :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What's robert hood? Haven't heard of that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
robert hood is old skool underground resistance guy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What sort of music? Sounds interesting... V/VM slow a lot of old records down in their "Caretaker" series... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
robert hood releases minimal techno, check out internal empire on tresor, real minimal, but real good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Will do, thanks for the heads up. V/Vm still haven't replied to my last email and they haven't dispatched my order yet :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
More to it then that. Had a listen? I got the double blue vinyl shortly after it came out. It's good spooky ambient. |
||||||||

Yay! Just got a response! ----- Original Message ----- From: Ceri Charlton To: V/Vm Sent: Friday, December 06, 2002 9:51 AM Subject: Re: Orders Good show chaps, Particularly liked the speaker blowing and catching alight and also the improv use of the santa head in the dance. Apologies for hitting James in the stomach with that cd. I meant to throw it over him (he was lying down), but it fell short. Did you get the disc? I didn't see it on the stage afterwards... Thanks for throwing the 12" at me (returning the favour? ;) ) I still have it and will be giving it a play tonight. I can see why you said it was one for the ladies :) I climbed up the fire escape ladder and onto the roof of the club afterwards. Great fun :) Cheers, Ceri. ***From v/vm*** yeah i got the disc no worries- i never comment on other peoples work,, just keep sending stuff through when you're happy with it -- it all gets listened to , and if i think soemthing can fit into a project i'm doing i'll let you know- glad you enjoyed the show-- the speaker smoking was the best part,, that and the plastic bag snow i was choking on -- jesus/ j |

Spikee- Yes, I have listened to it and I have ordered the blue vinyl. Very good stuff. I know there's a *lot* more too it, but it does sample old records slowed down :) |
||||||||
|
|

Spookz the shit out of me in places but nice in others. I think SAW II is a little sinister in places also tho. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"Emptiness" is brilliant. Very spooky, but beautiful. One to put on as a club closes... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Are you gonna get the vinyl Joyrex repressing? I just got the last of the original 3 a few days ago. I may still get the repressing also. |
