...my mates went and said it was average, nothing special.
Just another night of noodly electronica, no big surprises.
And apparently all Aphex did was play some old skool
hardcore records. Wow, like, thanks Richard.

i was there, and i did enjoy the night. richard d james did
start his set with some old skool hardcore (you know the
score!) and then played some wicked old skool style drum and
bass. i was for some reason expecting an ambient set, but
was not let down.
a very interesting venue as well. the courtyard was lovely
and the massive glass sculpture thing they had sat in the
middle of this fountain was gorgeous.

being the kinda gig that 'non-believers' may have attended,
was there any sence of the audience being pleasantly
suprised by the funny little man making that big face? ...or
were y'all 'adcore fans!?....i'm picturing a seated,
opera-seat-type performance!!.....



 

chicken paste man!! on 2001-09-03 15:42 [#00028988]



i dunno what you mean by 'unbelievers' - explain.
no, it wasn't a seated thing, it was all standing in a
massive courtyard in the middle of the buildings.


 

al>< from dublin on 2001-09-03 15:52 [#00028990]



by non-believers i meant, people who ain't heard of the
'Twin...you know, folks who went to the performance cos they
saw last month's Piano concerto in D-minor, or
something.....and now felt their brain dance for the first
time!



 

chicken paste man!! on 2001-09-03 16:00 [#00028993]



oh please, you're not one of those die hard aphex fans who
is so far gone up his own arse he dismisses new people with
new interests in what richard d james is doing, calling them
newbies and unbelievers.
i am dissappointed in you.
the evening held at the v&a was not at all a 'gig' dedicated
to the aphex twin. it was a celebration of contempory art
and music. there were lots of people there who came to see
other things, and may not have been interested in the aphex
twin at all.


 

al>< from dublin on 2001-09-03 16:50 [#00029002]



no.mate.....i'm not.
I was being kinda ironic saying 'non-believers', attributing
a god-like status to the man, for the craic...knowing he's
not, and taking the piss out of folks who go nuts about him
on fan sites like this
Appreciate the disappointment though.



 

chicken paste man!! on 2001-09-04 09:32 [#00029279]



that's fair enough - but if your gonna take the piss, don't
make statements that suggest that you are the very same
thing that you are taking the piss out of.
this could prove to be a rather humiliating exercise.


 

al>< from dublin on 2001-09-04 09:42 [#00029280]



Chicken-paste guy..
c'mon...you're only humiliated if you feel humiliated. I
KNOW i'm taking the piss and if no-one else does, what does
it matter? One just get mails like yours and the reality
eventually comes out as i explain myself. Of course, I don't
have to....but it's nice to clear the air.
I also dress up as the Twin going to gigs (i look a tad like
him)...and this too is part piss take on the whole aphex
image and part ice-braker with the other ravers...it's a
buzz and i know i'm no more a head-up-me-arse fan of aphex
twin as i am of any artist. In the end, i simoly enjoy the
choons and if theres fun to be had along the way...cool
- dig squarepusher big-time too...you?


 

chicken paste man!! on 2001-09-04 09:46 [#00029281]



yeah mate - squarepusher is the fucking daddy.

realy got into Go plastic in a big way....
The exploding POsychology, I wish you could talk, Boneville
occident.....the power!

I went this really beat up B&B in Newquey once and the man
who owned it looked just like Jesus Christ. He wore a
dirtwhite robe and was really nice to everyone.

At the end of my stay, I told him he looked like Jesus and
he said that Jesus inspired him. Jesus inspires me but I
dont go round looking like him...

oops... sorry to interupt with such a pointless thing to
say.

I think RDJ looks like Jesus' evil twin. the Anti-Christ.


 

al>< from dublin on 2001-09-04 09:58 [#00029287]



moving on....


 

chickenpaste man!! on 2001-09-04 10:10 [#00029289]



how do we know jesus had a beard?
even the oldest of pictures that depict images of christ
were painted many many hundreds of years after the romans
nailed up the bitch. i mean, how do we know that jesus
wasn't a nine foot black man?


 

Chrispy from UK on 2001-09-04 10:15 [#00029290]



We dont know. Do you know? Do we know what anyone in the
past really looks like? No, so I'm saying thats what I think
he looks like.

I saw that film the other day by the way..... [ Dogma ]

Silent Bob is the best.
