to when you were 15 and madly in-love with the most beautiful girl you've met and were rejected under the sounds of it. Then to the cassette my good friend Giannis P. made me with it who I've now lost track of. And then later Manolis (his artistic alias) who had it on CD, and then who knows...
Liquid - One Love Family
Another great song of theirs... Sweet Harmony

I'm tired of watching people move on with their life...
A little historical background here people. Guy Fawkes was someone who tried to demolish the English parliament at 1606 by usage of explosives (Gunpowder plot). The English found him in time and his plot failed. After arrest, he was sentenced to the ultimate punishment for treason - Hanging, Drawing and Quartering - a punishment that one can remember from the movie Braveheart.
So, on the 5th of November the Guy Fawkes Night occurs here. I don't think it is really worth praising, since it was an act of a religious minority that was being cornered and made to take matters into their own hands but anyway. We were lucky to enjoy the 20min show from C.'s house which is opposite Buttersea Park. We honestly thought it was going to be longer, but... anyway. I managed to take shots and video of it. But changing £5 for seeing this for 20 minutes is the truly English way!
Or... in other words: P.'s blog! :)
Enjoy turricanoid!
Following the multiple requests from various people, I give you bad quality James (W880i camera be damned!)
Come Home (beginning)
You can hear the (greek) commentary :P and ulirg's shouts.
Getting Away With It (all messed up)
Of course, if you're greek in London you'd probably been there also :P
You can find a review for that night here. It was a night with great music and great company. I had much needed fun!
(W880i CAMERA BE DAMNED!)
And there he was, leaving our office with a PhD.
We four started at the same time, and now the 3 of us are left.
Good luck to you my friend, may you always find things as you wanted to your future endeavors.
We'll miss you, but we are glad you're gone. Take care.
This is the how-to-enjoy-Thanasis'-music to the maximum. Carefully follow the following steps.
1. Eat as much as you can in your house, with beautiful food cooked by your portuguese flatmate's visiting girlfriend (THANK YOU AGAIN). Have someone there eating like 3 people (you know who you are). Leave your flat. On the way to the second step, almost have a fight on the upper deck of the bus (you know what you did). Proceed to the next step.
2. Go to Infrared's house on a Saturday night. Discuss Mac vs. PCs, mock Greek "superiority", taint Physicists (as a self-respecting engineer; we were two, they were two), enjoy great food made by Sophia (THANK YOU AGAIN) and generally have fun with some very nice company. Now proceed to the next step.
3. While at Infrared's place, unveil the obscure Chilean drink brought to the UK with the sweat(?!) of physicists researching useless stuff. Drink the obscure Chilean drink in a shots-style fashion. Now proceed to the next step.
4. Go to BBB (which I nicknamed Beta Beta Beta, due to the fact that ALL Greeks go there nowdays) to meet your other friends. But be there at 00.20am so that entrance is denied. Wait in the rain for the friends to come out. Stay with friends for 10 minutes and then take the bus back home (no incidents this time). Now proceed to the next step.
5. Discuss about women with flatmate. Flatmate has to go. Now proceed to the next step.
6. Sleep (kind-of) with a water-providing hose next to you ( 6 pints --- that's 3408 ml or 3,408lt for the "europeans" --- and counting...) until approximately 7am. Enter Thanasis.
7. Listen exhausted --- and surrendered --- to the following albums IN THIS PARTICULAR ORDER (volume setting: 12/40)
Αγρύπνια (Vigil --- kind-of appropriate!) , 2002
Βραχνός Προφήτης (Hoarse Prophet --- Already a classic masterpiece of greek music), 2000
Διάφανος (Transparent --- the newest, but very good) 2006
Optional listening for the brave-hearted: Η βροχή από κάτω (The rain from beneath), 2006
The fact that the albums have to be heard in alphabetic order is not a coincidence. Proceed to next step.
8. Try to fixed the bloody router to connect to the internet from 9.30am till now. By the way, Netgear routers; not that good.
9. Finally post the guide that will change the listening to Thanasis' music forever at 11.00am.
I would like to thank all the people who made this guide possible; all the friends with which we spent all day and almost all night yesterday; the Valley of Tempi webpage; Chile and its great exported alcohol-related products; the korean music-playing exported products and of course Thanasis for his wonderful music.
DISCLAIMER: No macs, ipods, itunes where used during this guide. Also, no animals were harmed; well except for the bus incident... HA!
