Erryone I know is peeing themseles over Afx... its as if he hasnt been before!

Has he played as Aphex since 1997 though? he did BDO in collabo with Vibert in 2004, and I'm 99.6% certain he hasn't been since. And Future's been on sale since October, so ppl are excited about sideshows, not him touring at all. So if you weren't one of the 200 ppl that fit into Soho to see him in '97 - or were sick or working or travelling that night - it's FIFTEEN YEARS since he's toured at all. That's ...a reasonable amount of time to be excited about a return? People who weren't legal to go to clubs in 1997* are now THIRTY-TWO YEARS OLD. God forbid they might be excited, or only have discovered him since then.

*I saw him at BDO, and still have his oversized RDJ portrait, that fell out of the vagina-facehole of one of the eight-foot-tall dancing flourescent teddy bears, hanging on the back of my bedroom door at my mum's house.

xp when i first had my iphone and had not yet turned off autocorrect, i tried to text "hihi, what's the haps?" which came out "hibiscus, what's the Hapsburg?" i turned off autocorrect but this is still my favorite greeting.

also, hibiscus, mongrels.

hibiscus lxy!

Ola Sash, when you back home?

Oh ok, I guess I hallucinated the gig at the Prince of Wales I saw him do in 2004 then. :/

never got into afx

(it wasnt collab w/Vibert - they played seperate sets and AFX did a proper show! No recognisable songs tho) xpo

Yer I'm a fan of his ambient stuff, but his hardcore stuff leaves me cold tbh. But R was/is heavily into Autechre and that jazz, so I was kind of inundated with it for f'nyears.

hihi lxy<3

N txted me recently to ask me to "grab some breasts on the way home".

I would love to have obliged.

hibiscus 2 u 2, lxy!

or did i just describe your intent

lool

spadghetty carBONEara

worst creamy sauce ever

>_<

OK looks like Melbourne was the only city that he did a sideshow in in 2004 - the BDO was absolutely positively Vibert collabo, as seen here:

Still think his first show in eight years/second in fifteen is worth getting excited over if you're a fan

new material on the way, apparently

i like selected ambient works II the best

not many club bangers on that tho

Analord was rly good blend of the ambient sound and rhythmic interests I thot

new material on the way, apparently

delayed (and Tuss being pseudonymous on Rephlex) so long due to divorce supposedly - he's been patiently waiting out earning anything until legals are sorted

Ah, that'd explain it! BTW i didnt mean to sound sarky with the "i must have hallucinated it" comment!

FWIW the show I saw was... a troll is the best word for it. No recognisable actual tracks, just a really cleverly assembled set of... parts, that made everything seem familiar yet not quite. Then it started to speed up and up and up til it had turned into utter chaotic gabber.

Then he stopped completey and started playing ska/jungle breakbeat shit o_0

Was a neat show.

saw the worst band last nite. the worst!!

what made them so bad? are they really worse than gang gang dance?

they did have one nice trick, in that they walked in the front wearing their amps, playing funeral march

did you catch their name

will look for name, idgaff myspace hasn't been updated in months by the look of it

just incompetent, drummer all over the shop, think they were aiming for sonic yoof discordance maybe. i leaned over to j0e at one point and said "this is like 'future shock' by the gordons, but really appalling"

haha

haitch i checked th3 ag3, your date is grace kelly rite

appears they were the s@t@nic r0ck3rs, lol

headliner de@th gh@t was pretty good tho, grunting vocalisation + sikkk improv drummer!

xp i've forgotten the other stuff on yesterday's back page, ur not looking at today's are you

oh i misread, nm

still, how good a blund date would that be

in starlet days rather than the irl 'dead for 30 years' current incarnation of course

blund, haw

blond date

Still reckon u should go on date w/father b0b

omg google father bob and find trayce

lol

hahaha =)

HE HAS EERIE POWERS U KNO

oh god, the beggars around here

was just chased up lt collins st by a bloke in a yellow vest (i think, didn't stop to look) hassling for $$$

Does he yell "aw COME ON, have a HEART!!" as he does it, and looks fairly together + clean?

(cuz that guy's been pulling out all stops lately - fake crutches and shit)

This was a new bloke! I know the one you mean though, he gets in your face and does the whole "OHHH COME OOOON, MAYYYYYYYYYTE" thing

xp fake crutches???? ffs

Well tbf maybe he really DID need them, but they kept reappearing and disappearing over varoius days. I dont like to speak ill of beggars, but when they camp out all day long in one spot it gets a bit frustrating - that guy's spot seems to be right outside my work (which is near to that Blue Bag sammich place)

Yeah, he used to camp on the other side (my side) so predictably that you knew when to pretend your phone had just rung. Now he's all over the place. He hassled me in upper Chinatown on Sunday, I mean
