Last night I went to an event in Newcastle called No Dexx (http://no-dexx.net/). It was in the basement of an art gallery close to the city centre, and it was well good. A mate of mine called Ben Moneypenny played a really good live set using samplers, laptops, a stylophone and some circuit-bent kiddy synths, Touch and Tells and Speak and Spells. Lektrogirl headlined - she's on Rephlex. I think she just DJ'ed CDs, no live stuff, but it was quite cool anyway - she was playing some class tunes including Windowlicker, no less. What was pretty weird was that the tickets they sold for the night were floppy disks with the name of the night printed on the label. They asked you to put data on the disk and tick a box if you had done so. Anyway, I stuck a few photos on, including a photo of me, a photo of my mate, and the manicminer icon I use (http://www.yorklabs.co.uk/manicminer). There was a huge projector with loads of trippy imagery on, and at one point the photo of me came up! It was well weird, a huge picture of my face. It was a very strange feeling. They put the manicminer logo up for ages and even started animating it. It was pretty crazy. Also, they had a Commodore 64 and a ZX Spectrum at the sides, and you could play games on them, which was also pretty cool. One thing I found out from my mate: apparently none of the DJs got paid for last night, including Lektrogirl who had travelled all the way up from London. It must be really hard to make a living from IDM..... |

I forgot to mention one part actually..... I had quite a few beers, and while Lektrogirl was DJing, I ambled over, shook her hand and said "I'm well into Rephlex, me". I think I probably appeared to be a bit of a twat. |

I would say that you are probably correct. |

WoW! I really love the idea of having them put images onto a floppy disk and having your stuff projected onto their screen!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, that disk and image thing was a really good idea |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah man. It was good. I wasn't trying to chat Lektrogirl up though. I have a girlfriend already and one's more than enough for me. I was just being a bit of a ligger really. Which is equally tragic, I suppose. |

I sized up the body of your story and decided to briefly glance at a few of the words instead of reading it, but was unable to extract anything understandable from the few words I glanced at. |
