Merzbow Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Does anyone know of a shop in Camden that would sell gig/musician earplugs, preferably Alpine brand? My pair never came through from Amazon and fuck am I going to a gig without them with my ears being a cockend as they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea if they'll have Alpine, but if anywhere sells earplugs they will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members mim731 Posted October 25, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted October 25, 2017 Not sure if this is too late now, but there's a Maplin in Camden which might be of use as a plan B if no luck with GuitarGuitar. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted October 25, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted October 25, 2017 Where were you at @Merzbow and what did you see? Was honestly about to ask if you were at the Barfly, I’ve played there a few times but had no idea the whole chain were bought out and ended last year.

Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted October 26, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted October 26, 2017 Need some advice. I’m with Plus Net and have their fibre optic, fastest broadband, 70+ mb. No issues with its speed, however the signal is shite. Some rooms transfer to 4g regularly and even when I’m in the same room , it can drop to 2 bars on my iPhone. Im going to have a play with frequency later, however I definitely want a signal boost plug based device, with the idea of putting them in a couple of rooms. I have just been reading about the best on the market at present, but I can’t find out if they are all pretty much compatible as a standard. I did ask a plus net advisor who basically sent me a link to a BT product for £70 with shit reviews.. nice one. Is there anything I need to know, or can I just go and buy a generic signal booster plug from Currys and assume it will work with my set up (standard router plus net send out for fibre optic broadband). cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BigJag Posted October 26, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted October 26, 2017 Have you looked into setting up an old router as a repeater. It's not that difficult. I had poor signal issues and this solution is one that worked for me. I followed this guide https://lifehacker.com/how-to-extend-your-wi-fi-network-with-an-old-router-915783308 Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was The Dome a little up north from Camden to see King Dude and The Ruins of Beverast. Don't think I've ever been to the Barfly but it's a venue I always saw on gig posters.

How's it looking now they've refurbed it? Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted October 27, 2017 Moderators Share Posted October 27, 2017 The barfly is a good venue. Great sound, and always has a pretty chill atmosphere. I went to see (early 90s California rap group) Delinquent Habits there a few weeks ago and they were supported by these south African horror core guys called Mensvreters who were wildly entertaining and pretty crazy. Really fun stage show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 @Merzbow is this Tufnell Park Dome, as I've got a couple of gigs coming up soon and wondered what it was like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really fun stage show! Was good, shut down now. @BigJag thanks for that advice, however I don’t have an old router. When I moved house I got rid of loads of shit including stuff like that. So realistically I’m looking at one of those plugs, if they indeed work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grecian Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 This one might sound dodgy, but I promise it's for a completely genuine, innocent reason! Â Is there a way of sending an email to someone which is utterly untraceable to the recipient? I'm doing an MA in creative writing and need one character to be able to contact another without him working out the IP address or where the email has originated... Is there any kind of IP masking software or something along those lines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted October 27, 2017 Moderators Share Posted October 27, 2017 Oh shit. I got my venues confused. I haven't been to a barfly in years (and apparently never will again now). The gig I was at recently was at the Underworld. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've used the Home plugs in the past and found them to be hit and miss. They are reliant on your ring main being on the same circuit. I unfortunately have a house with more than one ring main. It left me with a Wi-Fi dead spot. Until I went with the repeater option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to few gigs at the Underworld years ago. it's a great little venue, but it can also be a horrid sweaty mess. It was also weird when I went there on a Saturday afternoon for an all ages gig, then spent most of the evening in The World's End drinking before heading back in there for another gig in the evening.
