Wooo this is the best news i've heard in a while! Coming to the Big Day Out. I know there's alot of Perthlings here, let's just hope he doesn't drop off after Melbourne like alot of big acts do. I'll be going to the Melb one anyway and if he continues onto Adelaide and Perth then i'll go to Adelaide one too when i come back. "BDO 2004 sees the long awaited return of electro-deity APHEX TWIN, aka Richard D James, aka AFX, Polygon Window and Caustic Window. APHEX TWIN caught the ears and eyes of both electronic and rock fans and has received wide acclaim for expanding the possibilities for esoteric electronic music as well as his unforgettable videos made by Chris Cunningham. He'll be joined by long time collaborator LUKE VIBERT. Seen most recently at Reading 2002, APHEX TWIN's set was voted 'most intense performance' over and above Slipknot! He's back to fill and thrill the Boiler Room with his unclassifiable, genre busting live performance." |

Just read "Unless otherwise stated, all acts listed below are appearing at all venues from Auckland through to Perth..." so looks like he's doing all cities! |
||||||||
|
|

|

Errr. yeah. Cheers for that news bjg, I really don't like the Big Day Out gigs, so I'm hoping he does a side gig or something. But if not looks like I'll have to buy a BDO ticket to see 1 performance (again). $98 tickets! argh The Melbourne show is on 26-01-04, which is my 20th birthday! :D So that'd be lovely. |
||||||||

|
|
Yeah same, bit of a rip off hey. A Perfect Circle i wanna see too though, and maybe The Strokes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeh, the acts there are OK-ish.. the kind of acts I can live without seing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What an excellent bithday pressie, princo... Any idea if they broadcast this on the radio?... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, JJJ will probably do the same thing they did with the last BDO aphex gig. I'll keep the ears open. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
whoa, this is awesome news! bdo gigs aren't that great though; lets hope he's doing a seperate show in adelaide |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
whoa, wtf? another adelaide xltronic'er? hi, asl? where in adelaide you located? i don't know any other idm'ers here, it fucking sucks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Gday, 19 m West Croydon? Where's you? I just moved here so i don't fucking know anyone. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm in Athelstone, but work in the city on Gouger St... heh, where you'd move from? And why the fuck did you move here, anyway? It's a goddamn hole! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hehe, i moved from Tassie. I like Adelaide :) My mum had to go for work or something so i just came with her. Just working now until uni next year. Where's Athelstone? I only know western suburbs and north east. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, it is north east, near holden hill and crap - heh, adelaide's quiet and slow, which is a good thing; but if you're looking for a decent scene here in the way of music/pubs/stuff to do, forget it. i don't even bother going out lately - i don't drink much (in fact, haven't for months), don't do drugs, so if the music sucks, the night generally does too. always plenty of stuff to do in melb/syd though, every time i go over there on contract development work. you want idm/braindance in adelaide? heh, forget it :( unless you can surprise me by discovering something... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ah ok, like over near Modbury and Golden Grove etc? Yeah i wasn't expecting much in the way of night life etc. Well it's better than Tassie of course, but i don't drink much either or do drugs. I only been out a few times in the city and North Adelaide and it was alright. Good thing about here is it's sorta close to everything. Like only a day's drive to Melb or a single flight to anywhere else. All my family live in Melb so i go down there a bit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nah, closer to the city then golden grove. heh, where you been/what have you done? and yeah, i've got a few friends from tassie who came over here for a holiday... they loved it here, so go figure, i guess. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Just been working really. Just as much as i can until uni next year. I tried to get in midyear here cause i was at uni in Tassie but they wouldn't accept midyear enrolments so have to wait now. What's there to do that i probably haven't done? Only been here about 4 weeks and started a fulltime job like a day after i got here - well have a couple of weeks off now. Sorta work like a month or so, then get a couple weeks off, the back to it as it's shiftwork. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ah, you in year 12, or left school? haha, what's there to do? you've probably already done it all - go to one or two nightclubs in adelaide and you've been to them all. you've got two types of clubs in adelaide - the typical type where you get guys who only go to 'pick up', and females who are thick as bricks, and the only thing played is r&b and cheesy trance/techno, then you've got the 'alternative' clubs filled with emo/goth types who think they're so much better then everybody else, and oh god how they're so different, even though they're saying/thinking/doing/wearing what everybody else is. both types make me want to stick a fork in my eye and gauge it out. it's fun. (recommend it!) |

actually, if you're into mike patton (tomahawk, fantomas, mr bungle, faith no more) he's doing a show here in two months or something, that /should/ go off, although it's at heaven (one of the cheesiest, crappiest r&b nightclubs around; although my mate reckons they have good soundgear, which is a plus). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what a stupid question, you just said you worked full time :p what do you do? finding a job within a day is pretty good... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Cheers, i didn't mind Mr Bungle. I never really got into them more than a few songs though. Yeah sounds like Tassie's clubs, except no goth/emo ones. Just the lame pick up joints like jimmy rowes etc. I just got a transfer with Coles. Used to just work after school and uni etc in Tassie, so put in for a transfer. Not doing normal Coles work though, but just working on the remodels around Adelaide, and been working in the state office. Just finished off West Lakes and now have a 2 or so week break until i think Glenelg or Wellan. Not sure which one i go to. It's just shitty work but awesome pay since the hours are from like 8pm - 6am or so. And yeah, finished year 12 the year before last. Just went to uni after that doing a degree in business info systems. |

|

By the way what do you do etc? How old are you? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ah, okay, sounds cool - heh, fair enough, took me a while to get into patton's stuff but i love it. yeah, there's not many of those types of clubs here; there are a few, which at first you'd think would be interesting because they're different, but then you're faced with people that have bigger ego's then ronald macdonald, coupled with the fact their 'unique' music tastes are almost always just the same as everybody else. (omg new manson totally rulez!11111) i know a bunch of guys here that used to be into idm, but they've moved (surprise surprise), and a bunch of guys in melb/syd (i.e. refund, you rulz), but adelaide doesn't seem to have many people even interested in it. there's not even an industrial scene here; just a very, very small goatrance scene. mum toured here about two weeks ago; i missed it, i was fucking spewing, too. the night before a friend told me that there was this experimental band playing that were like bjork - was going to go, but ended up working late on crap, and tickets were $40, and i didn't know they were mum, but wish i went now. bet the turnout was incredibly small, too :( i'm 20, i do a few things; daytime job is application development for an it company (web based crap, mostly), out of hours i work on contract, anywhere from internet cafe software to wireless deployments for isp's. yes, i'm a geek :) |

if what i read is true about that trent reznor he's stupid, unless he wants to be spammed to death by fanboys/girls |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what the fuck? where was trent mentioned? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Yeah i had a heap of mates in Tassie that were into IDM etc. There was no real scene or anything though, we just used to listen to RDJ and BoC etc. One of my mate's bros works for channel 9 in Melb and does all sound effects and shit and he got me into it pretty much. Yeah you could call me a geek too. I've done some IT work for Coles, no official position though. That's what i've been doing in the state office though, just web app development etc. Got a few certs in IT, but can't find a job here yet in IT. It's always a case of "you need a job to get experience to get a job". |
