COUNT ME IN! I'M THERE....

Given enough notice, I'd go. Looks like it'd be almost cheaper than going to London!

I'll definitely be there - although I'm hoping we opt for a 2006 Copenhagen event to give me time to prepare lots of projector videos.

Don't worry retro chums, there's still CGEUK next year for a chance to meet up for some retro fun and get pissed!

Thankyou kind sir

I still would love to have some sort of recording from Stuck in D Eighties, so the next best thing then would be a best of BIT Live CD.

If what I hear about the DVD is true and that they're going to sort out a proper sound mix for it, then a good quality CD is a distinct possibility.

Well you know, that's not a bad idea. We'll have to see. I'll get the multitracks off Skitz at some stage, and see what can be done with them... We could butter them up for a proper studio offering I guess ??

None taken. The mafia performance wasn't about musical/artistic perfection, it was for a laugh.

Most people I've talked to (who saw it live) said it made them laugh, and that was what we were aiming for. And I guess the mafia must've been the least interesting group to listen to over the stream.

I was actually surprised at the positive responce we got after the gig. I thought people were going to hate us, 1) because we didn't play live (except for Larsec on the opening 1942 act), we just rapped/sang to a backing track and 2) hip hop/rap don't sit well with most people, in fact a lot of people hate it with a passion.

But, as I've told everyone else, what we lack in talent we try to make up for with humour, and I hope we succeeded. Anyway, both Larsec and I had a lot of fun doing it, and I know a lot of people who were there liked it.

So anyone listening to the stream telling us that we were shite, you missed 75% of the act since you didn't see the stage performance, and that's what you get for not being there.

To sum up, I had fun doing it and that's good enough for me. Love us or hate us, as long as I'm having fun I don't give a shit.

Ps. I'm not much of a rap fan myself either, and I don't rap...I just pretend that I do...

Seconded!

There were three different music genres represented this year, it's nice to have some variety in the different musical styles.

And of course the Rap bit stopped us getting too po-faced and serious about the whole c64 nostalgia thing.

Comic relief, pure and simple. Very welcome, and offset nicely by the delicacy of Visa RÃƒÂ¶ster.

Hahaha, yeah!

To everyone saying the C64mafia gig was shite:

Bog sabotaged our rehearsal!
