the Metalux vocals were getting on my nerves something fierce! any then one of the Metalux chicks started dancing towards the end.. could've sworn I saw John Wiese smirking at her...

I think I'm just passing through one of my depressive misanthropic phases

i'd love to see james chance with any lineup. i'm so fucking jealous.

as for the noise extravaganza, i'm not really a fan of any of those folks, saving evan parker (but i'm a saxophonist, so go figure), so i probably wouldn't have had very high expectations for it anyways.

OPTIMO space,nightclub in Glasgow,etc it's the best damn fucking thing in the world haha, no well, some sort of thng like that, this guys pay tribute to the whole 99 records, liquid liquid, ESG, no wave sort of thing, plus they play techno records mixed with Funkadelic, Love, Minor Threath, Tropicalia, raw shit man, their dj sets are brutal

He played in York last night though I wasn't well enough to watch. Apparently he put up a very good show indeed - to nothing over 30 people. It's just shocking. It's really upset me that after 30 years he's so underappreciated. Yet another reason to despise the UK.

steady on, it's hardly like he'd get throngs of people if he went abroad is it?

The point is that he should.

all good music probably isn't as popular as it deserves to be though, is it?

didn't understand this part

but i'm agree with the guy who said that it's a shame, he'd damn underappreciated, i mean cmon Contort Yourself!!, that's the best tune i've heard aobut mixing damn James Brown with Ornette Coleman!!!!!!!!!!!! and that's not just the sax, but the disco beat from the drummer, that anybody (rapture etc.) has copied now anyways, there's at least one dvd somewhere of him playing live from this era, since then, i haven't found any other props for this dude mr. contortion himself.
