OH well, I went down to our lovely venue called Sonar last nite, and were told that Squarepusher was a no-show, but Plaid was still going to be playing, thank god...
We were all going to get a $10 dollar refund without Square..
So we walked in at around 10:45 and Plaid was on already...dammit!!!
Usually the acts come on until the last 2 hours before its closing time, but we neednt have worried because they'd only been on for about 10 minutes or so, and by god, they sounded wonderful!!!
The floor was jampacked and they had wonderful videoimages behind them on a big screen.
We ended up at the front anyways, and watched with glee. They played a fair bit of RARE stuff here, and it sounded fantastic!!
Ofcourse the whole night one was being surrounded with talk about Squarepusher being a no-show ( which I expected anyways), but I went there for Plaid anyways, but there were truly a lot of pissed-off people there, some of them who didnt even know who Plaid were!
No, it's still worth going (without Squarepusher being there) because Plaid really pulled out all stops, but I do feel bad for the fans who were there mainly for Square but it just sort of should tell ya that he should either grow up or WARP should've put it on their newspage that Square was going to be cancelled IMO>.
I wonder whats happening in Seattle tonite......

ditto for Sonar, barcelona.
did see him dublin the week before though...won't make ya nuts with the details of his mind-blowing set
at barcelona...met a warp dude who said..."he's a manic depressive genious. When he gets in a mood not to play, he don't play - end of story". As if promoters are gonna print on there posters 'Squarepusher live aug. 24th - may get in mood and not show up"!!
Cylob at a recent gig told me 'he gets into producing a tune and he won't leave it...".....nature of the beast i'm afraid.

squarepusher and plaid are playing on my birthday here in philly. I already bought the tickets for me and my twin brother. I really hope that he doesn't cancel any more shows, I know touring must be rough playing in all these different cities every night. but this time when he plays in philly it is going to be special because its on my 21st birthday, who could ask for anything better?
