Check it out... sounds like his best gig ever! HEE HEE |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
hehe yeah i read about his noisy performance already despite all the comments i would've loved to see it though (some say he played those noise tracks from his new smojphace release) |
||||||||
|
|

Best gig of the year by the sound of it. :) |

Hillarious!!!!! "Last night was my first Bjork gig and to say I was excited would be putting it extremely mildly. Upon arrival we were told that a "DJ Smorgface" or something similar would be playing from 7.30 til 8.30, and Bjork would perform from 9 til 10.30. Instead, we were battered by an incessant cacophany of screaming, swearing, white noise, machine gun fire and what sounded like the inmates of a deranged monkeyhouse. Until 9.20, with no respite and no damn let-up. I almost went mad from the noise, people around me had coats over their heads and generally I think that we were all very upset by the lack of a live band and simply by the sheer crude violence of it.... /pixiepants14" :D |

The funniest thing about that post is it was made by someone with a handle of "pixiepants" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
does anyone know which tracks he played? (From the descriptions I'd say he played Whitehouse) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
From the absolute horror that came from the beyond appalling support DJ (I am all for art but that offensive noise does not constitute it in any form, it sounded more like a live feed from the Iraq battlefield!) |
||||||||
|

That man is evil =) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Haha, impressive! :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah im impressed too hahaha! He knows everyone in the room wants to kill him after ten minutes. Does he quit ? Noooo , a good 2 hours should do it =) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah.. most of the messages mention "noise" etc but i bet we´d recognise a few killer tracks in there. Snares, Pushah, Whitehouse, Hrvaski etc |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ha ha, brilliant! I'd really love to hear this. "...excruciating..." "...offensive..." "...noise pollution..." "...torture..." "...sheer pain..." "...a blow to the human sense..." I wonder how much he got paid. |
||||||||
|

Did anyone record? |

I wonder how much he got paid. id pay them to do that... |

i've never been a fan of bjork but i salute her for having aphex as her supporting act. on to her fans. what a bunch of narrow minded pussies. words fail me. "As can be seen from many of the other reviews here Aphex Twin caused a lot of distress with two hours of what I can only desrcibe as audio torture. Was the purpose of this act to make the audiance feel agressive and un-loved? No matter how well Björk performed last night I woke up this morning feeling very angry and confused about what happened. I need to know what it was all about." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i would love to piss off that many Bjork fans in that way...genius, fucking genius. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ha ha, one fan thought AT was Matmos and described the tracks as "autrocities" (sic) >:D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
awesome! I really hope this ep is noise material, Id love that, I hope he releases lots and lots of noise! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
these bjorg fans are a bunch of idiots |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

You're right; McEnroe was always better. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ignore this. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
:D |

|
|
Better then Björn Borg ? No i don't think so. More entertaining tho. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"More entertaining " its a shame there's no players like him anymore...i loved his hair style - looked great with his attitude :D |
||||||||
|
|

ahahahahhahahahahhahahahahhaha genius, pure genius. |

|
man....smojphace needs to come out quick ☻_☻ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i wouldn't equate playing noise with fucking someone.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i bet it wasnt noise at all...its just that those bjork fans are used to more profound sounds like harp and violins |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's all noise. the only difference is in the intention and method of getting the noise.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i only just found out it was Aphex Twin who opened for bjork, it was really funny cos he pretended to stop and when people thought he had finnished he carried on! Cant believe i saw Bjork and Aphex at the same concert! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Bjork was amazing btw, especially the remix of "its in our hands" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
when is smojphace out anyway? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it wasn't all noise, some of the first stuff he played reminded me of Mira Calix and Angelo Badalamenti, its slowly got weirder with Jungle samples, later on the noise started, with screams and singing "do you like the way you look, do you like..." etc etc (don't remember much of the lyrics though). Most of it was great though probably did drag on a bit for some people, I enjoyed it though and can't wait for the ep |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if aphex is the sun then björk is the moon!!!! i really hope smojphace comes out sooon!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

aww bird is rhymin'.. anyway, i think RDJ was a bit rude to play whitehouse and other stuff before a bjork crowd. it's disrespectful. i'm not saying it's not good music.. some of my favorite artists were probably in that set. it just wasn't appropriate. he could've easily catered his set to that crowd and played melodic material. why he didn't is beyond me. how cruel. but some aphex production on the new bjork album would be something else huh? :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"how cruel" i dunno... i thought it was kinda funny :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"but some aphex production on the new bjork album would be something else huh? :)" well one of the new bjork tracks was very noise inspired with distorted vocals and merged into pluto, it was one of the highlights of the concert, can't wait for her new album, i think its gonna be one of her best. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i might've too but put yourself in a non-noise fan's shoes.. especially most bjork fans ("sophisticated sissies").. RDJ was being a tad mean there no matter how much 5% of the audience liked it. did they do the new bjork song where matmos use rubber bands? or one of the songs from the bjork.com previews? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you make music to cater for your 'fans'..... then you'd be like... umm i dunno... britney aguilera or something no? come on! god, even just the thought of that gig happening makes me nervous and excited!! they are wicked!!!!!! (björk and aphex up a tree, making music one two three!) can't wait to see them at sonà r***** |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm talking about his live gig, who said anything about making music to cater to people? richard did a DJ gig he could've easily catered to the audience; isn't that the point? why aggrivate when you can inspire or entertain? it just wasn't appropriate. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, i wasn't there. But obviously björk chose him as the support act, and knew what to expect. As for the fans.... well, from some of those reviews... i don't know what to say. I would've at least repected björks choice of support act, and not booed! i'm a huge björk fan. I'd like to think also, that i like music, and music likes me.... yeah, maybe thats impudent... but anyways, woohooo!!!!!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think he would have played the same set for his own fans (us) , only difference is that 99% of us would have got an errection (the other 1% being female) Why should he change his style just because he is playing for Björk fans? Sounds like he was promoting Smojphace EP and maybe trying out some new stuff . |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't know if bjork knew he'd play that kind of set. all of you know he has many different styles he uses when he dj's and plays live, so let's not act like AFX is some kind of noise artist. even though she personally enjoyed it, i doubt she was happy most of her fans hated it. all i'm saying is that as a support act and as a veteran DJ and musician, richard should've been nicer to the audience. if he was there to promote he could've made thousands of new fans having played music that's more like the albums he's released. that's just one idea, many other things would've went over well. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't think richard cares about getting new fans |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yip! i disagree~ disgust is a wonderful thing. i think the people that saw aphex's set last night, will be thankful in the long run! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i enjoyed it, I really don't care wether thousands of people I don't know enjoyed it or not. I doubt Richard is gonna create a set to get new fans, he probably doesn't care, he just played stuff he wanted to play which is fine by me, especially as it was new material. |
||||||||
|

what do you have against bjork fans? they're/we're good people, and believe it or not, have great taste in music. so what if they don't like noise or jungle?! maybe i can try an analogy here. if you were a guitarist and were paid $100 to entertain old folks, would you do a folk set or a death metal set? for the sake of this analogy, assume you're equally capable of both and enjoy doing both. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If Napalm Death was booked as a suport act to Hank Williams would they go Country n Western ? I have nothing against björk fans , i enjoy björks music myself. But still this was soooo incredibly Aphex Twin'ish of him that i can't help smilling. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha, exactly! a boring person like george bush would play folk / wield guns to entertain the old. i think people that have come this far (ie. listen to björk / aphex twin) deserve a 'challenge', or real entertainment! not just mind-numbing, brainwash, tv, crapdesign, bullshit! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but that's different because Napalm Death never change their style, they're always metal. whereas you and i both know the variety of music richard has released AND dj'd live (ie: his selection of other people's music). i just find this disrespectful; i totally "get it" and maybe if i didn't like bjork so much i wouldn't mind. i mean if he were opening for n'sync this would fucking rock. but for a peer it's just kind of rude and snobbish for him to just say "fuck you all" and do a noise set. anyway, i respect your opinions too because i see what you all are saying and i agree on a fundamental level. |
