Anyone else planning on going to this? Should be really good. Judging by past setlists, they are prepared to go pretty obscure!!

The earlier you arrive, the more 'obscure' it will be, though I'd say Joyriders, Death, Styloroc etc level rather than unreleased and similar stuff, especially as I'm going to be arriving late so won't get to pick the early tracks, but should be DJing a bit later in the night.

Might sneak my fave 'Seconds' in at some point if I can persuade the promoter people will dance to it. He has it filed under "Slow" for reasons I have yet to fathom, I think it's a euphemism for 'nobody's heard it and they won't dance'. We know different, right? Right?

Promotion people studiously going through a prospective set-list?
Sounds pretty 'indier than thou' alright!

That said, I'm sure I'd love it.

If you can guarantee Seconds will be played I'm definitely going, on my own if needs be.

Considering most would only know the 12 tracks from DC, plus a couple of singles, I'm quite surprised a promoter already putting on a Pulp 'night' would limit your set at all?
Tho' I don't know how the heck you're supposed to dance to Joyriders..........!!

No, the promoter is also a DJ, so we have to work by consensus... he just sometimes goes away because he also promotes the club next door!

Here's what I played last time. http://beingjdc.livejournal.com/370830.html

About four years ago, my girlfriend persuaded Russell Senior to dance to Joyriders at Offbeat in Sheffield. He was slightly embarrassed, but not enough to sit it out.

Needless to say I will be there! Already love Feeling Gloomy, so a Pulp Feeling Gloomy would be a little slice of heaven. Now to think of ways to convince my friends to stick it out for 6 hours!!

 Great set!

I love that you played the Sultans.

Unfortunately London's a bit far for me to go to a club nite :(

Blimey, I reckoned people'd fall over when it gets to the 'chorus'!

Come to mention it, I don't think he lasted out the entire song. And who can blame him.

Who ended up going to this in the end? I said hi to Weener very briefly but wondered if anyone else went?

Notable tracks included Little Girl (With Blue Eyes), Master Of The Universe (my request!), Dogs Are Everywhere, Acrylic Afternoons, Have You Seen Her Lately...sure there were many more but my mind is a bit of a blur now!

Oh, PTA, Mile End and Razzmatazz too. I left after Disco 2000 was played at 2am, but wondered if anyone else stayed later who can fill in the gaps for me?

Well, we definitely closed with Bar Italia, and Common People and Misshapes were obviously in there somewhere, and I'm sure I heard Pink Glove, but I wasn't really paying attention and was next door some of the time. I was mainly taking photos, which are up, if anyone got in the way of the camera.
