Pretty crazy how Boris changed from "good" to "one of the lamest bands ever" in the space of two hours last night - they must be feeling pretty devastated right now :(

I like Ghost, Fushitsusha and Keiji Haino, but not Boris, Melvins or Elton John. Can someone give me a 30-page character assessment now?

never heard any 'stoner garage' that sounds remotely like fushitsusha but sure wld like to!

Does any girlfriend not?
for the record my wife has no time for Elton John, except for that duet with Kiki Dee, which she really enjoys for some inexplicable reason

In light of this alleged Swedish Ghost now getting attention for their new album can we celebrate the real one, please. (Also, anyone catch Batoh's solo tour?)

Only just seen that Batoh is doing a few solo dates in Europe this month:
6/14/12 Barcelona6/15/12 Hasselt6/17/12 Geneva6/18/12 Brighton6/19/12 London
Pretty excited about seeing him, never managed to catch him or Ghost before (could be wrong but I think that Ghost only ever played at most just a couple of shows in the UK)

― You can do it Sun Myung Moon (NickB), Wednesday, 6 June 2012 08:39 (eleven years ago) link
well yes, that is stupid.
i saw them at atp around then too, besides that i don't recall them visiting here since i've known them. i think kurihara did a tour with damon & naomi? but yes. rare visitors. i don't know about on the rest of the dates, but the london one will see batoh do 'brain pulse music', which presumably means a performance on his new brain wave-controlled instrument: http://www.dragcity.com/products/brain-pulse-music-machine

Yeha, fucking Swedish metal Ghost keeps confusing me. Stop touring, Swedish Ghost! You should have googled, you doofuses.

Every once in a while I will see news about Ghost pop up online and I get excited until I read and find out it is Swedish Ghost that is being discussed.

Sadly the Batoh gig last night fell a bit flat. Very low attendance (about 15 people including the support acts) and quite a short set (felt like it was only about 20 mins long!) and Batoh seemed to be having a few technical issues with the circuits that his brain pulse machine was plugged into. That said, I was quite surprised by the music the device generated. Hadn't heard the record and was expecting soothing drones or something (I read somewhere that it was being looked at for use in medical treatment), but what we actually got was like a flip-flop sequence of quiet momemnts punctuated by loud shrieks and blocks of quite agressive tones that sounded a lot like early electronic music. Not a big surprise I guess considering that the brain pulse machine was being fed into a couple of oscillators and some sort of feedback loop. Good while it lasted, but I left feeling a litle glum :(

OT but I forgot almost the best bit of the whole evening: I saw A HEDGEHOG walking down the pavement in Beaconsfield Villas on my way home! Alive and snuffling about and everything - amazing!

Reading a few tweets and it looks like he also only played for twenty minutes or so in London last night. What's up with that? Should have brought a guitar on tour with him as well.

best band
Just realized I had already post "<3" here in July. What else can I say about Ghost? Best band.
I'm about to order the new Live in Providence 2006 archival release. It has their Terrastock 6 show -- the first time I ever visited the States! Memories! And what an amazing set they played!

Awesome. I remember being close enough to the front and center (maybe second or third row?) to be slightly worried about Batoh's marvelous "springer" device -- I think he let the spring go at some point? Anyway, amazing stuff and I can't wait for the album to arrive!
