Last night we headed to Clwb for a marathon ear abuse session courtesy of our mate Will's Pedigree Falcon all dayer. smAsh DJ'd. I hung around her looking cool. Here is a photo of smAsh and Ellie. Ellie doesn't have to hang around Ash to look cool like I do. Ellie is loaded with cool points of her own (which is why I roll with her also... its all about the cool points)
Here is someone else who doesn't need to gain cool points offa no one.... Jon.
The main band I wanted to see most, Right Hand Left Hand, we missed most of. Came in 2 songs from the end :( This was mainly due to Ash's persistent faffin around before we left hers. I spend alot of my time waiting for Ash. I don't care tho. What she lacks in punctuality, she makes up for in many other ways. You put in the effort, the rewards are there :)
Here is Part Chimp, who we we did see. They were rockin'
THEN..... we made our way over to 10 Feet Tall to dance to Spank Rock DJing! What a don! Spinning tunes under the name Pase Rock, he was ace. Played all the hits. Loved it.
I like 10 Feet Tall 'n all... but it doesn't 'arf attract idiots. I came very close to having a fight with a fat, generic blonde valleyite at the bar. She jumped the que and I was having none of it. A few 'no....who the fuck do you think you are?'s later, I had to make a decision on whether I was gonna spark her out or walk away. Tempting as it was, i decided that she wasn't worth getting thrown out and missing Spank Rock for. So I gave her the worst dirty look I could and let it go. Twat. I tell you, I wasn't letting her intimidate me. Who the fuck did SHE thing she is. I know what I thought she was. A fuckin tramp thats what. As she left she goes 'nice talking to you' to which i replied 'FUUUUUUCK OFF'!
What was cool, was that when she went, the guy that was stood next to her starting ranting about what a twat she had been and that I handled it really well. He thought I was gonna spark her out too! Check my street style!
Obviously I loved the whole drama of it all and couldn't wait to get back to ash and tell her!
3 nights on the razz in a row. My insides aint happy with me.
Quiet week this week then is it? Yeah... thats right....
I love Malcolm Middleton. I hated this venue.
Who wants to see a legend playing beautiful, eye dampening songs, SAT DOWN on the most arse numbing seats, while people around you are served a varying array of edible goods in baskets. This is wrong. Food in baskets is wrong.... but that aside, being forced to SIT and watch music is horrible. I wanted to get close to Malcci but I had to stay seated. I really rated him, but the only way I could express my love was by subtly nodding my head. Which is a weird experience. Not been to a seated gig since my folks took me to see Shakin Stevens play St Davids hall in 1989 (he played a classic set and we went for a Wimpy afterwards).
Despite this, I thought he was ace. For me to still have a good time in this shit hole of a venue is a testament to how great Malcolm Middleton was....(also the company weren't arf bad)...
One redeeming feature of this venue is that it has a big burly bouncer patrolling the seated audience. One of the highlights of the evening was when this bouncer exercised his right to silence fuckin idiots who persistently talk while people are playing on stage. This was ace. What a twat that man looked when he got 'told off'. Ha. Fuckin. Ha. All venues should have one of these. Not so important when your skankin to dubstep, but when listening to downbeat shite it should be mandatory.
Oh and I love the irony of the photo above. None more glee than wee Malcci!
