Are they still doing that? I saw them... about 5 years ago at a festival and they did the whole balloon and confetti thing. I thought it was a phase for that album. Good show.

I saw Sinnssyk Ugle a couple of days ago, great show.

It was, I think, a band called Black Serpent Choir who are a 'mysterious' duo from the are who play sort of dark broken beats from a laptop which dressed in ornate white robes with rubber 'old man' masks. Apparently, it's a fairly badly kept secret that it's infact ex Brave Captain and Boo Radley member Martin Carr who just sends a couple of guys to play stuff off a couple of laptops. Which makes sense considering the technical problems they had which left them literally scratching their heads (not good for keeping up th ol' mystique) and texting and phoning people.

It was odd to say the least and not really that good. But it was a nice evening in general. A couple of dudes were really angry that they only played 30 minutes and had a loud argument with the promoter. I later saw one of the angry men in the street where he was a 'chugger' so he was obviously wrong.

yeah, the balloons were there the whole time, giant green and orange ones. They released confetti every now and then, the fog machine was only put on about 3 times.

But the strobe lighting was the fucking scary thing, afterwards Wayne said "sorry about that, i don't think im going to use this thing anymore, it can be pretty bad" Steven looked pretty concerned about the audience too. If i had epilepsy i would have died.

It's been so long for me. The last one I can think of was Sonic Youth/Flaming Lips, and i'm talking about last August people.

The Warsaw in Brooklyn, NY. Quite a show. They're playing on Conan tonight which should be very interesting, don't miss it! And if you get a chance to catch them on this tour, go. Religious.

Jazz bands. Local jazz bands. They're very good round here, but I never know their names. Although I did see one Thursday before last who were the worst kind of sub-Jaco Pastoris white funk bollocks. I very rarely see anything other than local music, I'm afraid, so if anyone's interested in my answer on an ongoing basis, just copy and paste this post.

Sonic Youth, Flaming Lips, and Ween last August
