Inarticulate ranting

[vicarz]

Oh my that was fun last night. TiKKi didn’t seem that into their performance, but I had so much fun playing old-school reunion that it just didn’t matter. I never even thought about how good/bad their show was until I read someone else’s review tearing it up. Some critic I am…sigh…I loved every minute of their show. Look! A drummer! Remember those?

Well, people I know also hate synth crap. It seems the only people who like the stuff are the DJs that play it, and those random geeks who dance to it. Those synth dancers don’t drink much, so the bartenders don’t really care much about it either – according to one source. For the record it feels weird being older than the bartender. Speaking of old, ran into yet another beautiful old friend who is now married. I asked all about that and forgot to see how her Phd came along. Now how the hell do I find Kristie’s phone # again? I can’t get used to her blonde.

Pardon me for not typing out everyone’s name and LJ name that I saw last night.

Um, last night’s crowd was BEAUTIFUL!!! For all the jokes, we age quite well thank you. Remind me to do shows more than clubs – the quality of the people there was much better than the trash that I’ve been whining about. Clothes were good, people were pretty and/or well-displayed, I was all about everyone! There were some ugly guys but not many – sorry but I can’t stand that 20 year old fullish beard / goatee EW EW! Dyed facial hair? Icky! In moderation they weren’t a big deal.

It was really strange – I got a lot of vocal compliments on my LJ and DCFreaks posts!? WHY THESE WEIRDOES DON’T RESPOND IN THE FORUMS THEMSELVES I DON’T UNDERSTAND but hey I’m happy to have a happy audience.

I never really listened to any DJs last night. I just spent all night flirting and talking to people I hadn’t seen in ages. Much discussion went on about Roxy/Poseurs. There is a board for old-school geeks btw http://www.poseurs.com. Old schoolers pretty much universally got my joke about coming to Nation to see TiKKi. It’s a verbally transmittable visual joke!

Sorry to anyone I’ve thrown off by sounding happy and positive.

A friend who is VERY political ran up to me last night. I said how are you doing, she answered with her eyes and what was probably a sigh. I grabbed her inappropriately, she focused on me a bit more, I jumped up and down, she stared, I pointed and said “Oh look, a band! Yeah!” She laughed, said “Yeah, look! Stuff!” and refocused, or faded out of focus. I wiggled between two girls while TiKKi played, looking like a twisted Benetton commercial. I made it home before 1 (I could give less of a shit about Pigfuckers) and made the mistake of turning on the TV. I had escaped for a moment.

Who wrote the bad review? I agree it wasn't their best show, but they weren't headlining. I'd love to see them again, with only 1 or 2 opening bads and a nice long set!

We left soon afterwards too. I've got real-estate type people coming over to the house in...eep! 15 minutes!

TKK didn't do much for me, except the drmmer who kicked ass. I don't have much room to talk though, I had to spin so I only caught Daisy Chain for Satan. Last time I saw TKK was 12 years (opened for Siouxsie) and it was an incredible show with the Bomb Gang girls and just a full stage of craziness, which was closer to last nights Pigface performance than the TKK act.

On top of that Groovy Man seemed really fucking out of it. He came on stage during Pigface but couldn't seem to ad much except a fight he almost lost to his shirt while trying to remove it.

As a voice from the DJ booth I have to tell you people love their synth-pop, and their 80s. Their's never a dearth of requests for even old stuff like "Another World".

And the theirs "Send Me a Fuckin' Angel". Personaly there's a song Inever have to hear again, ever.

Thanks for the Posuers link I just went and made a bunch of posts. Kinda cool. Low key, not all asshole ridden, or maybe it's just riddled with familiar assholes...

DCFreaks used to be kinda cool too...until it was overrun with morons and trolls (they worked together).

Fuck requests! I tend to think most people don't make them, and that they're not representative of what people want to hear. On the other hand, what other measures do you have? Lots more ravers wannabes on the dance floor last night, lights and all.

any DJ that ever plays this again should go to detention and have his/her DJ services taken away for two weeks. if we do this often enough perhaps they will cease to push play on that crap.

if that fails, flinging eggs at the booth may work :)
