reflect's Birthday: Zaireeka Party Southampton, 08.03.03

El Directo

01:19 / 17.02.03

I'll shortly have the Flaming Lips' Zaireeka in a mixed down format, but it has occurred to me that I still haven't heard it in its intended octaphonic sound participatory format.

For those unfamiliar: Zaireeka is an album recorded on four different CDs designed for simultaneous playback on four separate CD players. It also has frequencies above and below what you would normall find in recorded music.

We can do this in London or in Southampton (a venue and crash space can easily be found for the latter). We'll need to find as many halfway decent stereos as we can. Is anyone interested?

Fab idea. If enough people can be rounded up, I'm there.

Theoretically up for this, if I'm not too busy or far away on the date..

OK. I'd like to do this in Southampton on 8th March. Older brother allowing, as it'll be his house. I will see if I can get the thread title amended to include this.

I might well be up for this. It's the only way I'm ever going to see any of the Southampton posse ever again, innit, Tez and I were discussed a joint venture... Could possibly bring my very shiny CD player if I think i can do it without damaging it... my preciousssssss...

(sorry, partly just an excuse for me to ponce on about my lovely stereo. I'm such a boy.)

I'd love to come (It's my birthday on the 12th) and can bring a poor quality sound making device if you're short..

Tez and I were discussed a joint venture...

I was under the impression we were discussing some sort of flanking attack pattern...

I will check my shifts tomorrow and see if I can make it. If I can make it then I'll make it.

Err... yeh.

Tez. Sh!

Sheesh. no wonder you bombed at the Mafia Game.

I'm just awaiting confirmation from parties Spooky and Bodiless that the Zaireeka session is viable. The party is definitely on.

Sheesh. no wonder you bombed at the Mafia Game

I was the victim of a conspiracy.
Incidentally, reflect, I'm almost certainly going to be heading down your way the weekend before the 8th, if you fancy hooking up for pre-birthday drinks...

Drinks? Yes. Yes, I will.

Becaue things are fuckyfuck, I will not be there. This is a shame, as I wanted to see y'all again, especially bip and tez and re again.

Grrgrr.

You will all have to have a nice time without me (because that will be very hard for you all, I am sure) and re will have to just soldier on bravely without personal pin birthday wishes.

You can all come to the island and bust me out of work, if you like...

I fear I too am broker than broke, and moreover I have a paper to give the following week and will be very poor company. Will change plans if possible though.

I'll be there, just to sneak some Justin Timberlake onto the stereo while no-one's looking.

Good-oh, Fly. Shame on everyone else.

I've changed my mind about Zaireeka, though. I don't think it's a party record, more a damaged-brain get together record. Some other time.

All are welcome, as long as they're good (breakages must be paid for, possibly in blood). Should be lotsa larf.

Oh, and congratulations, Quantum and gelfling...

If not the 'Lips, then perhaps the B-52's to encourage screams of horror from your fellow party-goers......ALL NIGHT LONG!!!!!

DISCLAIMER: Actually, I think the B-52's are incredibly cool in the most uncool way possible, which is in fact the coolest.
