Yeah!

thanks i couldn't think of it. where were you all weekend? i don't think i've met you have i?

I was there all weekend, I had a chalet with Nefeli. No, we haven't met IRL before. The only other SYGers I saw there were Pokkeherie, Glice, & Jimbrim, but then I'm not sure I'd recognize anyone else from here who was there, aside from Slavo.

It's hard to call what he did improvising though bearing in mind it's his stock in trade and he's been doing it for 20 years.

My favourites from this ATP:

Boban & Marko Markovic
Maher Shalal Hash Baz
Bardo Pond
Borbetomagus
Awesome Tapes From Africa
Keiji Haino
The Dead C
The Oh Sees

such a great weekend, most of the acts that played i enjoyed.

highlights:

Keiji Haino (unbelievable, possible one of my favourite live experiences i have witnessed. i'll have to make sure i'm there when he comes to London)
John Butcher
Borbetomagus
Emeralds (i'm a big fan of the band, and i knew i would enjoy it based on the performance they put on in London recently. it was nice to hear them play Passing Away off of their s/t in a live context... shame about the speaker though)
Philip Jeck

this is quite a good clip from Haino's set http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrNZ3zoexkY

I assume the tickets are on sale at wegottickets (I haven't actually looked). If that's the case, then transferring them to someone else is very simple. You can't do it on the day of the concert, but any time prior to that you can.

I'm going to be at both of those gigs. Fuck.

they used to do it, they stopped though.
i'm guessing if he's playing with brotzmann and bower that he won't be playing for more than about 1 hour

has anyone been eating any tangerines during the weekend?

yes.

I'm really glad you guys had fun.
Unless there's some tangerines poisoning going on.
SO, snow and ice did not create problems, after all?

there was no snow in somerset and the roads were mainly clear one the way down. it was a barmy 7 degress warmer than where i came from so i didn't feel too cold. on the way back it was a bit foggy but nothing major.

what's with the tangerine question EvdWee? you've got me paranoid now!

we did have some having snowing betwen dover and london, but after that no problems at all!
friday was very cold. even in Pavilion your coat was necessary.

we brougth 8 kilos of tangerines to ATP in order to get atleast some vitamins. We ended up giving away some of them. you might have been lucky!

Last time I saw NNCK, they threw oranges into the audience. An audience member sent one flying back at the band. It flew in a lovely arc, and hit one of the NNCK guys right on the top of his head.

this year there was even a connection between one of the performing bands and tangerine dream.

on WFMU:
Coming up on Brian Turner's show Tuesday, September 27, 3-6pm: an exclusive broadcast of Dutch avant-punks The Ex live December, 2010 from the circus-tent atmosphere of All Tomorrows Parties at the Butlins resort in Minehead, England. For over 30 years this anarchic band has roamed a wilderness of free sounds that have included collaborations with everyone from Tom Cora, Han Bennink, Getatchew Mekuria and more; they've performed live on Brian's show in 2006 previously, and headlined an incredible WFMU 50th Anniversary show in 2008 live at Lincoln Center that brought over an arsenal of kindred spirit Ethiopian musicians. Today's broadcast from Minehead showcases new singer/guitarist Arnold deBoer and finds the Ex as a quartet in total attack mode!
