5000 - Ian was right on Exercise One Genetic — Forum Archive

9 Jul 2003, 08:24

I suppose the occasion has to be marked in some way, so here goes. Firstly, thanks to everyone who makes this place so damn interesting that I have to keep coming back day in day out :clap: :clap:

Five copies of something or other (a bundle of live CDs) will be made available to the first five people to get these questions completely correct.

Here's a set list from a New Order gig.

Little Boy Death Rattle Little Dead Who Killed My Father ? Senses Only The Lonely Cramp Procession Taboo #7

Name the songs played, and
The venue at which this gig took place.
Then tell me what they played next time they appeared at this venue.
What is the connection between this first gig and Echo and the Bunnymen ?
Which New Order song did Ian McCulloch cover on his solo tour in the late 1980s ?

The first person to reply correctly (answers to erick_east@hotmail.com) will also get a special bonus of an autographed copy of Transmission.

As in the demo tape of Transmission recently recorded by Known Pleasures at Breakfast Studios in Clapham.

Good luck to all !!

:beer: to you Tim for that remarkable NOOL achievement. Having said that...

why can't you do -at least once- an easy contest? :cry:

9 Jul 2003, 08:43

Well done Tim! :clap: :clap: :clap:

We're so proud of you, lad!

The contest is an easy one but since I did win one recently I do not want to look abusive.

Errmm truth is I ain't got a clue! Thanks for enlivening and enlevening the Forums so much. You're a star!

Tim,

:clap: :clap: :clap: and :beer: :beer: :beer:

I'll gladly buy you a drink next week!

Oh, and I think I got the answers to those questions :) !

Congratulations to you Tim for hitting the 5000 mark. :clap:

Most important than that is that you achieved this with informative posts, not shitty ones. :nod:

I also answered the questions. Not sure about #4, but I made an educated guess. :D

Now the obligatory smilies: :beer: :beer: :beer:

Well done TIMBO and thanks for all the useful information i have learned from you about both JOY DIVISION and NEW ORDER. Cheers ROCKET MICK

As I said once you are an encyclopedia Tim :D

Your bad humor is very funny :lol:

Congratulations :beer: :beer: :beer:

9 Jul 2003, 12:33

way to go. i've only been here a short while, but always enjoy your insight and contests, though this one's got me a bit stumped :scratch: parts 4&5 at least.

9 Jul 2003, 13:26

I can't participate in that, it would be too easy.. (I have the full control of the database)..

To help people, all songs "work titles" are actually in the song browser :evil4:

There might be a few missing though... as I don't recall all of them.

Cheers for 5000, I guess I'm next :nuts:

9 Jul 2003, 13:35

Three people are 100% correct already, and one person is 80% right at the moment. Glad to see that it's the real diehards who are coming up with the right answers !!

9 Jul 2003, 14:59

too difficult for me I'm afraid, I'll just wait for the answers well done anyway

9 Jul 2003, 15:04

A fourth person is 100% correct.....

9 Jul 2003, 15:06

Tim, just how the hell does one do 5000 posts without the amount of drivel that Shugs and myself have had to do...and I ain't even got to 5000 yet!!! :eek3:

well done! :beer:

now as far as your question goes, I haven't got a fooking clue :scratch:

Can I second that. Congratulations on reaching 5000 :clap: :clap:

Yes, but there are no answers in the database for #4 and #5. That's the interesting thing about this contest.

9 Jul 2003, 15:33

Timbo

I enjoyed this challenge a lot

9 Jul 2003, 15:48

We have five winners.....it must have been too easy !!

Congratulations to :

Jan Bollansee Robin Bashinsky Julio Moura Ricardo Fernandes Phil Collins

not that many of you will have holes in your bootleg collection, let me know which ones you want and I'll see what I can do. I've got virtually everything between 1979 and early 1989, but am pretty crap until mid 2001 after that.

Tim, what is the connection between the first gig and The Bunnymen? :scratch:

9 Jul 2003, 16:00

I have to say I had the answer to question d staring me in the face for a few minutes before the penny finally dropped. At first I was afraid it had to do with something one of the band members might have said during the '82 gig about Echo & the Playboys, until I remembered that they had covered The Doors' Soul Kitchen live!

It was a fun contest, Tim... I'm very fond of those alternative titles for the 'old' songs. As for which recording(s) you might send me... just choose a couple of tapes which you haven't got round to converting to CD-R yet, and I'll gladly do so for you!

And cheers again!

Woo hoo! That's really funny - like I've never heard it before! Maybe you'd like to get the 'no jacket required' one out of the way too...not to mention 'coming in the air tonight'...?
