    Anyone head to Om on Saturday night?

    Yeah, it'll always be rum ham, but in all seriousness, get some ham, soak it in dark rum and bung it in the oven and you've got the tastiest damn ham ever. I do it every christmas.

    Boiled over hard, with a side of jelly beans ;)

    Yep I was at it, was incredible

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    Damn right. Seemed that they only really played for just over an hour though, would have been nice if they played for a bit longer.


  • Moderators, Regional East Moderators Posts: 23,233 Mod ✭✭✭✭GLaDOS


    Yeah really the only negative I took from it, about an hour and 15 I reckon they played for (started slightly early).

    Glad I brought earplugs, that bass was insane.

    I wasn't there, but I heard mixed things about them. Apparently they started really sloppy but only got going about halfway through, but then left the stage with hardly any word and the lights went on. Any thoughts on that?

    Can't say I noticed them being sloppy, enjoyed it from start to finish. Didn't think much of them just walking off. Lot of bands have almost no crowd interaction. I've seen Russian Circles three times and have yet to hear them say a word! Om seemed like they were in the same mould.

    Mastodon were the same the time I saw them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,345 ✭✭✭Somnus


    I really enjoyed Om on Saturday. They definitely don't have much in the way of crowd interaction, a few words all gig.

    Thought they performed well though. I did think the gig was a bit on the short side. Wouldn't have minded another song or two

    Likewise. Really enjoyed the gig. Wasn't expecting any crowd interaction at all to be honest given the nature of the music. In hindsight it seemed a short set alright but still thoroughly enjoyed it. Ticket bought for sleep in London in July :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,557 ✭✭✭Knifey Spoony


    I did notice some off timings alright right between Al and Emil during State of Non-Return, but was only a small thing really, quickly forgotten about under all that fuzz.

    Don't mind the lack of crowd interaction at a gig in general. Prefer the band to actually play songs inside of licking the crowds ass, telling them how great they are...

    Hope we get a Dublin gig from Sleep in July, although, I am tempted by the gig in London.

    Yeah. Picked up my ticket for the London gig in a semi state of panic when it was announced on Friday. Meeting a buddy of mine from Madrid at it though so should be a good night. If a Dublin gig is announced all the better. Get to see them twice!


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Music Moderators, Regional Midlands Moderators Posts: 24,130 Mod ✭✭✭✭Angron


    I'm not a fan of the OTT interaction, but it's nice when a band looks at least vaguely arsed about being in a place.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,096 ✭✭✭Reiketsu


    So I had that job interview on Monday. I was really nervous and thought I'd blown it...got an email today, got the job!!! :D

    Thank you :D. I'm really chuffed, been trying to get back into employment for ages. I had just left the job centre when I got the email :pac:. Waiting on a start date now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,928 ✭✭✭✭rainbow kirby


    Great news Reiketsu and the very best of luck with the job :)

    Girlfriend bought Undertale for me the other day, only played a little of it so far, but oh my god, the soundtrack is gorgeous! :D

    I love stormy weather like this when I've nowhere to be :)

    Just back in from taking the dog for a brief walk so she could go to the toilet. I had a massive mug of hot chocolate, she's curled up on my lap snoozing away in her little Christmas jumper. The storm's blowing outside, but it's lovely and warm in here. Gonna chill for the rest of the night, maybe play more Undertale, or possibly The Witcher. I think I'm nearing the end of it, then it's on to Witcher 2!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,096 ✭✭✭Reiketsu


    Yeah, our dog is refusing to go outside, she hates the wind :pac:. Couldn't take her out a walk in that anyway, it's horrendous up here. I'm heading out tonight for a cousin's birthday...better be the best steak I've ever had if I'm going out in that :P.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,679 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    I've got cabin fever and want to go for a walk. But there's so much debris flying around that I'm afraid of getting killed.

    Well, at least I'm not a dog and can pee inside.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,944 ✭✭✭✭Links234


    Dog pooped inside today :(

    Frankly, I can't blame her.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,096 ✭✭✭Reiketsu


    Hey all, what's the plans for the weekend? I'm heading out shortly for dinner and drinks with my mum before going to see Alan Carr. Decided to book tickets on a whim last week. As for the rest of the weekend I'll probably be lying low!


  • Registered Users Posts: 48,990 ✭✭✭✭Lithium93_


    Laying low here, finished with the first semester in college on Wednesday, now how to kill 5 weeks worth of time off.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,928 ✭✭✭✭rainbow kirby


    Work Christmas party this weekend. First time in 3 months I'll have worn heels, and I'm also shoehorning myself into a strapless bra.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,679 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    Got both a work christmas party in Dublin and a 30th in Ennis on Saturday night, but am going to neither because money. Starting a new job in a month with a pay cut, but better experience, so need to stop spending money wrecklessly. Staying in and watching the McGregor fight instead

    Going to a friend's birthday party in Dubland, catching up with some other friends while there. Next week though, Star Wars! :D

    Heading to The Aristocrats tomorrow night, very much looking forward to it :)

    I'll probably be doing the same. ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,345 ✭✭✭Somnus


    Yeah I'll be heading in as well. Should be a good gig. New album is brilliant and they were great last time I saw them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,148 ✭✭✭Passenger


    Hey fellas, you reckon it's safe enough paying at the door and do you know what time The Aristocrats are on stage at?


  • Moderators, Regional East Moderators Posts: 23,233 Mod ✭✭✭✭GLaDOS


    I tried to buy 8 tickets there and it would only give me 5, not sure if that's a reflection of availability or not.

    You can buy one and select box office collection if you want to be sure

    https://secure.tickets.ie/Booking/EventTickets/23629/the-aristocrats-the-grand-social-12-December-2015

    On stage times, I don't think there's a support and doors are 7.30, so they'll probably be on at 8.30, though might head for 8 to be sure.

    Thanks, SN. That's grand. Will do that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,148 ✭✭✭Passenger


    The Aristocrats were great. Really enjoyed the gig. Brian Beller knows his way around an anecdote too. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,818 ✭✭✭Lyaiera


    I just published my second book on amazon a few minutes ago. It's my flatmates birthday tomorrow so I'll be heading out for a few quiet Sunday night drinks with him, but then it's back to the nerves on my own. I'll definitely be needing some music on as a I fall asleep tonight. I don't know if BBC3 has any good classical music lined up, but if they do I'm there.

    Nice that you managed to get in. The queue was ridiculous for the ticket collection. Pretty badly organised. Great gig though. I just wish people would shut the f*ck up when the band are talking about the songs though.

    Ah nice. What's the book about?

    Yes, when I arrived the queue was out into the main bar area and I was unsure whether they would have any tickets left when it eventually inched its way to the box office. Got in anyway and it was an all round great performance.

    I have two, both set in the same urban fantasy world. A plague hit humanity, and when the witches discovered a cure they announced their existence to the world. The first book is about a witch working in a plague hospital who discovers that vampires are getting the power to work their magic during daylight, and ends up fighting them. The second is a series of short stories exploring how the world has changed now that witches, vampires, fae, and shifters are out amongst the humans.

    They're both available on Amazon.
    The first one, Beyond Night's Dawn is available here.
    The second one, Beyond Dawn's Light is available here, and should be free.

    Well, I can have those :pac:. My girl didn't improve at all today, could be another day off school on the cards. She was already off last week with a vomiting bug but what can you do.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,944 ✭✭✭✭Links234

    Whiskey, hot water, lemon with cloves, and instead of sugar I use honey. Makes it even better. ;)
